Darth Vader and Yoda will join the search for the blade as they are in Soul Calibur IV.

Completely out of left field.

And how exactly are folks supposed to block their light sabers? *ponders*

Agreed ^

Can't wait to hear the stupid-ass explanation for why the other competitors don't get completely owned by the light sabers.

This is amazing

Darth Vader is only in the PS3 version, Yoda only in the Xbox 360 version.

P.S. This is beyond stupid.

[gekko]

The most random and stupid thing I've heard of since Soul Calibur 2.

I like it.

[Dyne]

I don't like this at all.

[Angrist]

Wii version gets Jar Jar Binks.

probably because its a video game.


why would you look at a movie lightsabre differently then any of the other weapons in the game? my giant sword or ax chops though the guys head, takes half their life bar and they get up and fight more... Perfectly acceptable!
but a lightsabre not acting as perfectly realistic as the movie portrays them? blasphemy!!!



and this is no different from link or spawn being in a soul calibur game... its just simply another character.

[Angrist]

Only Link and Spawn looked pretty believable among the other characters.

Seeing Darth Vader walking on carpet looks wrong.

[Swan]

Are they going to get Vader acrobatic like most of the other players?



Because I cannot picture that at all....


IT would feel wrong

That's where Soul Calibur failed. Bringing outside characters into the Soul Calibur universe. And here I thought Mario Party was the cheapest, gimmicky series of games. Guess I was wrong.

Does anyone even play fighting games anymore?

[BlueFire]

Does anyone even play fighting games anymore?

I do... They're quite fun.

But fucking Darth Vader and Yoda? Couldn't they have thought of a better cross-over? :confused:

[bobcat]

Does anyone even play fighting games anymore?

I do. King of Fighters, Street Fighter 3, VF5, Guilty Gear.

Fighting games are very competitive if you have high level players. Best fun!

Don't you be dissing Star Wars!!

I agree that they don't belong. It's completely random and awkward mixing of styles.

I enjoyed SC2's console specific characters (Link, Spawn) because they still kind of fit in.

Hell, along with Yoda and Vader, why don't they add in Mega Man and Pikachu and Mr. Spock?

[Dyne]

Virtua Fighter 5 is awesome.

Completely agree. The story has been so purposely overwrought since the first game, adding ridiculous characters fits right in and I like it. Fighting with Yoda? Who seriously isn't excited by that opportunity?

Sonic! We want Sonic!

[Angrist]

And Mario! And all the other Nintendo characters. :D Oh and ditch those boring Soul Calibur fighters. :p
