Soul Calibur and Star Wars fans gather 'round -- while haters grab a six pack of Haterade and their always-ready flamethrowers -- because Namco Bandai has finally released new info on the rumored secret characters set to appear in their highly-anticipated fighter, Soul Calibur IV, and 1UP has 'em first. In case you don't believe your eyes as they scan over these screenshots, you are indeed seeing the legendary purveyor of the Dark Side, Darth Vader, and his Force-wielding nemesis, Yoda.

EDIT: Woah.. taku posted RIGHT before me. Nice find too, Taku :O.

Now if only they put Link in it again...

And we can all have that fight that we all, secretly, know we want:

Link vs Yoda. Yes.

Also, Heihachi vs Vader would be funny on the basis that Heihachi should die faster than he could blink.

EDIT: Those stages sure look familiar..

Post by: a Hint of Lime on January 10, 2008, 01:00:23 am: Goddamnit! I wanted to post this.

This is going to be the COOLEST THING EVER.

I was on the fence about this game before. Now its a must buy.

EDIT: Seriously, never has any game announcement surprised me so much-- and at the same time made me so happy :D (except *maybe* snake in brawl)

:F That popped into my mind a minute or two after I stopped fapping to vader. YES.

By the way-- this > every smash bros update.

EDIT:
http://kotaku.com/343067/ps3-xbox-360-get-exclusive-star-wars-soulcalibur-iv-characters

Apparently Yoda is 360-exclusive and Vader is PS3-exclusive, similar to the SC2 special character situation. This absolutely forces me to get the 360 version :D

How exactly do they look fake? O__o They're 100% real

Anyways, I suggest you guys head on over to www.SoulCalibur.com (or http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3165347 ), and check out the new trailer-- Darth vader + yoda are at the end n___n

Post by: Ness on January 10, 2008, 02:26:22 am: This is pretty !@#$% crazy right here....though i'll have the yoda version. >_> Vader is like a million times better than Yoda.

These better not be console specific.

Yoda = Xbox 360
Vader = PS3
If thats what you are talking about...

I want to play as Vader :( Too bad, I guess I'll have to stick with Yoda.

Like Kylink they are console specific, and thus having a 360 i'll just get yoda :-\

I'd comment more content-filled like if I wasn't laughing so hard.

Post by: Hoffy on January 10, 2008, 10:23:54 am: Soul Calibur IV is a do want now.

Though I'd prefer to play as Vadar over Yoda. Ah well.

Title: Re: Two new Soul Calibur IV characters
Post by: शेफाली on January 10, 2008, 04:46:16 pm: I'm still wondering why they chose Yoda over any other Jedi. I thought Mace Windu had a pretty big fan following... To me, Yoda is LAME. (But I'd rather play as a Sith anyway) <3th Darth
Title: Re: Two new Soul Calibur IV characters
Post by: King Mob on January 10, 2008, 04:59:27 pm: I suppose if they're console-specific they could perhaps have been chosen based on which platform best reflects them in some way.

Would that mean there's a possibility of whiny kid Anakin being in Brawl?! ;)

Don't make me slap you. Vader and Yoda are cool in Soul Calibur...but i'd have to kill George Lucas if any Star Wars characters got into brawl.

Jar Jar would be more likely than Anakin.
