Yoda looks quite amazing. Not sure about the move myself though tbh.

Cant beleive more people arent excited about this

A little update on this,

The recently announced guest appearances of Darth Vader and Yoda in Soulcalibur IV come with a catch—each release will feature a console exclusive Star Wars character, with Darth Vader playable only in the PlayStation 3 version, Yoda playable only in the Xbox 360 version. Yes, you'll be able to enjoy pitting light saber against sword, but you may not be able to actually have a Yoda versus Darth battle unless Namco Bandai and LucasArts decide to make them available via downloadable content.

So no yoda VS darth battles

, but i guess the other soul calibur game had platform exclusive characters, maybe there'll be more, Master Chief on the 360 and Snake on the PS3, be cool.

360 version it is then

It's a bit strange dumping (albeit cool) sci-fi characters into a fantasy setting. I'd plump for Vader though.

i love soul calibur but this feels totally out of place..

edit: seen that its jsut console exclusive bonus's which i guess is ok, it would have been so stupid if it whole bunch of playable characters

Shamikebab · 10 Jan 2008 at 12:33

I don't see how its any different from having Spawn in 2, or the spartan in DOA 4 :confused:

All equally **** as guest characters to be honest. Cameos and star appearances are the selling point of Smash Bros but in Soul Caliber it didn't really gel well last time and this feels even stranger.

well heihachi didnt look too out of place, i knew nothing about spawn but he didn't seem too out of place (lizardman) plus the fact that he was crap anyway, and link was nintendo exclusive so it was a cool bonus.

if soul calibur 4 were to have 2+ chars from STAR WARS with bloody light sabers then it would have been stupid. but as it stands, its just a bonus char for each console which i think is fair enough

Scratchy · 10 Jan 2008 at 12:42

This just seems kind of lame to me, totally out of place

Shamikebab · 10 Jan 2008 at 12:45

Id like to see Blade with his sword actually.

RuMp3l4$k1n · 10 Jan 2008 at 12:51

Heihachi was the MOST out of place, in a weapon based fighter he was using his fists!

There's a trailer on Gamersyde.

Oh dear, they look like they don't belong there...

Is this another one of those one on one beat em ups, SF2/VF style? I was hoping it wasn't. I know little about the title atm but thought it was some single player adventure game with big boobehs

Liquid_Entity · 10 Jan 2008 at 13:03

haha what a joke. Wouldn't a light sabre just fuse through a sword and flesh (yes I know it's not real)

What a stupid idea. It looks totally out of place.

Could a person survive the number of sword wounds that a soul caliber character gets in a round? Its hardly realistic is it, Im sure they could say that all the soul caliber characters are using technology like the vibroblades in the Star Wars universe.
