Soul Calibur 4 to star...

[Dopples]

Dear god...I don't know if this is some elaborate prank, or a gift from the gods....watch the whole trailer to get why I'm so fucking stunned.

WHY THE FUCK ARE DARTH VADER AND YODA IN SOUL CALIBUR?! WTF HAPPENED IN J-TOWN?!

 

[Cruelty]

HAAH PICARD'S A FAG AND STARTREK IS GAY HAHAHA

since nobody is going to get the awesome prian posehn reference, i'll just say this is the dumbest idea since snake in ssbb. :l
truly fucking retarded.

 

[kip]

might be a damn good joke

 

[DJ Jack]

Darth Vader and Yoda are indeed in Soul Calibur 4. Kinda surprising, but considering SC2 had Link, Spawn, and Heihachi, anything could happen!

Also Cruelty, Snake in SSBB was an excellent idea, so idk what the hell you're talking about.

Nintendo Purists are basically cursing Snake in SSBB...

But anyway..

This is just a "o.O" moment..to say the least lol.

 

[Mundane]

Well the odd the character choice aside...those graphics look hideous...

But SSBB isn't meant to be a serious fighting game as SC is. Meaning, anyone from funny, cartoony characters, to bad-ass psuedo/realistic characters can fit in just fine.

This is just... What the hell?! I mean, it's just... it's gotta be a joke. Link, Heihachi, and Spawn is one thing, but Yoda, and Darth Vader? Geez.

 

[AskaRay]

The SCII special characters made sense though...

This... doesn't.

Low-quality trailers almost always make games look hideous.

 

[Graeme151]

That's... uh... um... okay.
What the heck are Darth vader and Yoda doing in Soul Calibur? It... makes no sense.
And the graphics do look bad. I hope it's just the trailer's quality.

 

[Venetia]

I really don't care what characters they put in as long as it's fun.

 

[JonoSasson]

Agreed. When games do this sort of thing, you usually end up getting used to it and it then becomes a better gaming experience for all. Granted you don't destroy the game disc before that... Who knows, we may come to... love them... After playing Lego Star Wars and having Yoda walk like a flipping retard, this may be a good chance to redeem himself (the bright side... I'm an optimist).

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

"Oh noze! Runz! The Jedi are in SC4!!! NOT FAIR!!!"

. . . some time passes . . .

"Dude fucking Vader kicks ass man, I just hit this wicked combo and -"

Just like when people got really angry about Spawn - then loved it, horribly loved it.  Like I got annoyed about my friends talking about it.  I've never even played a SC so I was completely confused, but they could not stop talking about him.  Watch.  Same crap, new move set.

 

[Prexus]

Spawn sucked. Link ftw.

Also, as far as SC4 is concerned. My beef isn't with Yoda and Darth Vader being in the game, by beef is with the way they presented them in the trailer. Like it was some sort of Star Wars / Soul Calibur crossover game, and not "Special" characters.

 

[Rare]

They were advertising two new characters, what's the big deal?

Sometimes you people don't see things from the company's perspective.  They're all in it to make money.

This is definitely a surprise to me...but what can I say? :P  I was surprised to see link, so this doesn't change anything.

 

[Luminier]

I suppose it's not really bad... It's just very, very strange. Out of all of the random characters which they could've added, why Yoda, and Darth Vader? It seems like a very random choice.

Do you suppose that they just picked a franchise at random? Out of a hat, perhaps?  :P

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

Or could it be because of the massive amount of coin that particular franchise can bring it with seemingly the merest mention.  You have Lego teaming up with Star Wars, and boom - big money maker.  You have Family Guy teaming u-uhh spoofing on Star Wars, and boom- big money maker.  I mean, not only do they get to sell that episode on dvd for the season when it comes out, but they're selling it on their own right now.

Pepsi puts Yoda on their cans and sails raise.  Fast food place puts crappy representations on "collectible" plastic cups and sales raise.  This is one of the largest franchises in the world, quite possibly the biggest movie franchise (why?) in the world, with a huge cult following.

That might have something to do with it.  Oh and the whole thing's built on light saber battles and old samurai crap - so yeah, actually kind of fits in.

 

[Cygnea]

It's SC; I'll still play it and I'll have fun beating my brother up as Yoda. As soon as I sell enough blood to afford the system, anyway.

 

[Luminier]

I had considered that, but then I decided that Namco was above that. Let me live my delusion!! >:|

On a side note: Regardless of the negativity of my original post in this thread, I would still play as Yoda non-stop. Yeah, hypocrisy, but who cares. It's Yoda. Whether you want him in, or not, or whether you want to play as him, or not. You will play as him. Ayup.

 

[arcthemonkey]

I will, unless they are both avialable on both consoles, buy both versions.

I have an enormous woody for Jedi.

Also Sith.

Also, Link ftw.
