See, at least on the PS2/GC versions of Soul Calibur, Link made sense if you consider what he is and how he fights. The Tekken dude is a fighter so that makes sense. Spawn didn't. Plus, the SC2 covers made it kinda subtle but not like "ZOMG, full color picture that makes no sense".

They should've left it to the back of the box highlighting Yoda and Vader. Like how Smash Bros. Brawl put Snake and Sonic on the back. It would've looked out of place if it was plastered on the front of the box, IMO.

They're including two of the most iconic characters from one of the most popular movie franchises of all time in their game; I guess it would be in their best interests to hide them on the back of the cover?



Who cares about a cover.

Yoda would never take part in such mindless, brutal violence.

I'm not proclaiming that sales will be doomed. It's just that with what the game is supposed to be based around, it clashes in a bizarro fashion.
