SoulCalibur IV

Weapon-based 3D fighter where you pick from a roster of sword, axe, and polearm users, each with distinct movesets tied to their weapon style. Matches play out in interactive arenas—you can ring out opponents or use environmental hazards. The story mode follows warriors chasing two mythical blades, Soul Edge and Soul Calibur, through branching character episodes. Combat leans on 8-way movement, guard impacts to counter attacks, and Critical Finish moves that end rounds dramatically when conditions align. Series veterans return alongside newcomers, and the Xbox 360 version includes Yoda as a playable fighter. If you want a fighter that prioritizes spacing and weapon reach over close-range combos, this fits.
