A guest character is a playable character in a Soul series game who originates from another video game or other kind of media. To date, none have appeared in more than one game. Since Soulcalibur IV, all guest characters have been American in origin.
Soulcalibur II
Soulcalibur II was the first game in the Soul series to have guest characters, one unique to each of the home console versions. Link from The Legend of Zelda series appeared on the Nintendo GameCube version, Heihachi Mishima from the Tekken series appeared on the PlayStation 2 version, and Spawn from the Spawn comic books appeared on the Xbox version.
Soulcalibur III
Dante from Capcom's Devil May Cry series was set to appear in this game, but did not make it into the final game.

Darth Vader is available on the PlayStation 3 version, and as downloadable content on the Xbox 360 version. Likewise, Yoda is available on the Xbox 360, and downloadable on the PlayStation 3. The Apprentice is available on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny

Soulcalibur V
Some Final Fantasy characters were originally going to be guest characters for Soulcalibur V, but were scrapped for unknown reasons. Since there was such an alternate trilogy of Final Fantsy, it is unknown which characters were going to even be in Soul Calibur V, but many fans speculate that the character roster from Dissidia Final Fantasy 012: Duodecim would be making an appearance in the game. Ezio Auditore, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed II, was officially revealed as a guest character for Soulcalibur V, representing both consoles. He uses hidden blades and a crossbow in battles.
Devil Jin from Namco's other fighting game series Tekken makes an appearance as a Character Creation exclusive style. The style is used by several Quick Battle opponents, including Harada_TEKKEN who is modeled after the Tekken developer Katsuhiro Harada.
