Bare-hand is a fighting style only usable in Soul Edge. This style is only available when a character's weapon breaks while in-game.

The moveset slightly differs between male and female characters, with each genders having different throws. Furthermore, it also changes slightly between the arcade and PlayStation port; in the arcade version, male and female characters have a separate A+G and B+G throw, whereas in the PlayStation port there is only one throw regardless of whether the player inputted A+G or B+G.

Trivia[]

  • In the arcade version of the game, Mitsurugi, Taki, Sophitia and Rock all had unique victory animations when bare-handed. Voldo, Cervantes and SoulEdge all share the same animation; Siegfried and Seong Mi-na both share the same animation (with it being one of Siegfried's normal win pose); and Li Long and Hwang would share the same animation. In the PlayStation port of the game, all characters use the same victory animation as Siegfried.
  • Although the style is only used in Soul Edge, two characters use the Bare-handed fighting style in later games: Heihachi Mishima in Soulcalibur II, and the Soul of Devil Jin moveset (only available to custom characters) in Soulcalibur V.
  • Viola has the ability to set her orb in place. Doing so effectively allows her to fight bare-handed, reducing her range and damage.
