Possibly the weirdest thing to happen in the history of ever [Soul Calibur IV]

Well she usually has a costume where she's actually wearing clothes. xP

Just seems like a cheap way to make sure your game sells.

Yeah, I guess that's why they do it, but in my opinion Soul Calibur actually has some very distinct and memorable characters (e.g. Voldo, Mitsurugi, Taki, Ivy, Cervantes etc.). Also, even though putting Yoda and Darth Vader in the game will surely help it to sell more, I actually think the game would sell really well without them in it too - the Soul Calibur series is undoubtedly a bunch of high quality fighting games..

Anyway, the whole thing with the Y-man and Vader is just a bit too much in my opinion. They don't fit the into the world/look/atmosphere of the series, and unlike e.g. Link and Heihachi their presence in the game is pushing it just a tad too much. They're simply just too spacey and otherworldly to be in the game.

I want this game now

When I saw first, I immediately thought of Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi for the PlayStation which was a really fun Star Wars beat 'em up that I played when I was about ten or so. I've no idea if it's actually that good a game, but I remember really enjoying it at the time. And of course, the highlights of that game were playing as Boba Fett and (naturally) Darth Vader.

It doesn't really make any sense, but it'll be bloody fun, I'm sure.

Yoda would be a bitch to fight. Your lows are gonna get predicatable sooner or later...

Yoda will probably lack health, though, so instead of the usual 15 hits, about 7 will finish him off, at least if I was making the game...

I was wondering about that too, though. I hope it's not like fighting Charade's legs every time. xP

Yup, Yoda is a lot smaller than Amy xD

Talim is pretty small too, however, I always find a way to dig into her health. So I guess Yoda will falter in one area that makes him a more fair fight.

Talim isn't up to your knees. xD

But she IS one of the smallest characters in the series.

i dont know why people think this is so weird


i mean DOA4 had a SPARTAN in it.. nobody commented on that

Sadly...

I do though. I pay attention all stories - if there is one.

Personal reasons...

This gets me thinking many things.

1. Putting Yoda and Vader on the two different consoles seems pointless. People will obviously want to have them fight against each other, but I suppose it'll balance out sales.

2. They look so out of place graphically.

3. It's either going to be ridiculous or inaccurate playing as them. A lightsaber would easily cut through a sword, more specifically a block or a human. One hit kills? No. It'll probably be the inaccurate choice, with people blocking them with knives at worst, and it'll look stupid.

4. I hope they announce some more interesting outsider characters closer to release. Hardly seems to have received a reaction on the scale that Brawl has received with its roster.
