Soul Calibur meets Star Wars

HeatShadow · Posted: Thu Jan 10, 2008 12:33 am Post subject: Soul Calibur meets Star Wars

...Literally. And no, I'm not joking, and this isn't some weird fan creation; this is Soul Calibur IV.

http://kotaku.com/342985/darth-vader-yoda-join-the-cast-of-soulcalibur-iv

So what's your take on it?

I find the inclusion of jedi and sith as pretty weird, but then, Soul Calibur has never been a series that took itself too seriously, so as long as they're just fun extra characters, I don't see what the problem would be. Except, of course, Yoda's diminutive stature. Not that I'm discriminating against the vertically challenged, but his small size might make it too easy for him to dodge most attacks.

I can't believe what I'm reading here!Then again,the creators did say someone from a movie series would be coming in...

However,this would be pretty interesting.Darth Vader is in pursuit of the Demon Blade,Soul Edge.Yoda is in pursuit of the Holy Blade,Soul Calibur...

Now...who else is gonna be revealed....?

Who knows? It's hinted that there will be more Star Wars characters added, but then stated that Vader and Yoda would be version-exclusive; Vader will be going to the PS3, while Yoda can only be found on the 360. So there could be a whole slew of jedi/sith added...or those two could be unique on their respective rosters.

I am sad that there will be no Wii version, considering that's the only next gen console I was able to afford D:

But damn, the game is looking good.

I was pretty surprised myself when i saw the trailer.I mean I knew they were gonna take guest characters and the fighting style as gonna come back to SC2...but I never expected Star Wars.
when i saw this yesterday i was saying "tht's a joke,it ain't real"....but i soon got it confirmed that it was indeed Star Wars character by my brother a few hours later

Voldo!

I and it seems most everyone I meet hate Voldo so much. But if/when they make a Wii version, maybe they'll have both and an extra.

I'm curious as to how they will explain why and how lightsabers won't be able to cut through solid matter in this game.

Voldo is awesome.

He's the only character in Soul that can match anyone from Guilty Gear.

Let's see... I'm shocked and happy at the same time. Why did Japan suddenly decide to use American-originated characters? Oh well. Still, I think we should just say that lightsabers can't cut though swords and all because all fantasy games break laws of COMMON SENSE and physics! I rest my case. *runs away*

Personally, I can't wait for this. Not even that big a Star Wars fan but I find something about this really awesome.

Voldo VS Yoda. AN EPIC BATTLE FOR THE AGES!

That's how they could do it. That might help some people. But they have already did something like that. Of course it wasn't in a fighting game though.
I would like to use both Jedis to beat Voldo, as he's who I always practice on.
