Natsu uses an improvised version of Taki's move-set, focusing on close to mid-range. Natsu retains Taki's Possession stance in Soulcalibur IV. Compared to Taki, Natsu has higher damage output, but has fewer mix-ups with certain attack strings. To compensate, she has a few delayed input attacks to catch the opponent off-guard and deceptive options in Possession stance, such as using a bomb, quickly changing to a horizontal attack, or even teleporting behind the opponent. Like her master, Natsu has some of the fastest attacks in the game (i.e. A:6) and effective punishers.

Natsu is considered a top-tier character by the Soulcalibur community and is my second favorite SoulCalibur character.

The way she fights combined with her quotes make her participation in the battles look very forced, which is unlike any other character in the game. This is due to her having grown up being seen as a bad omen. She taught herself to avoid conflict and apologize even as others turned their back on her. She has a sweet, somewhat fragile and sad personality. Her gentleness is reminiscent of Sophitia when she was young, who later on became tougher because of the turmoil and her involvement with the swords.

Voldo is easily recognizable by his strange and unique style of play. His moveset is based on contorting his body in unnatural ways, making him an extremely unpredictable fighter.

Also unique to Voldo is his ability to fight with his back towards his opponent. He uses a different set of attacks in this mode, though he returns to face-forward mode to execute grabs. Due to the nature of his weapons, Voldo has one of the shortest range in the game, which is considered a major flaw. Also, due to his lack of eyesight, Voldo will sometimes miss the opponent if they are quicker than him. Despite these difficulties, he is generally considered as a high tier character by the tournament community.

Chris Redfield from the very beginning has been an efficient upholder of the law, and is usually portrayed as being honorable and upstanding, almost to a fault. However, even he wasn't prepared for the horrors he would face in the Spencer Mansion and he had to withstand the strain of finding the majority of his team members killed, and to face the true nature of then Captain Albert Wesker, someone whom he once greatly respected. Chris isn't quite as prone to one-liners as most of his contemporaries and can be suitably summarised as a more self-serious brand of action video game character.
As time passed and his experience combating B.O.W.s grew, he was able to adapt and hone his skills becoming a highly reliable soldier in the war against B.O.W. threats. Even as he gets older Chris continues to be highly considerate and polite towards just about everyone, which in turn has gained him a great deal of respect from the troops he commands. However Chris is also known to have a short temper and, unlike fellow recurring protagonist Leon S. Kennedy, can sometimes let his emotions get the best of him. Chris has nonetheless gone through a lot of loss throughout the years, and while it continues to take a toll, he always ultimately manages to regain his composition and continue forward as the 'Legendary Chris Redfield'.
