I have been grinding my teeth, waiting if Soul Calibur 4 will ever come to Wii or not. Now, I hope not and that we'll just get Soul Calibur Legends instead because I've totally lost any hopes with the main franchise considering two new cross over characters.

I'm talking about Darth Vader and Yoda.


This is no joke. This isn't any trick. And I couldn't be more angry about this.

Now, think for a moment mind you. Whereareas, you can give benefit of doubt to characters like Link, Spawn, Yoshimitsu that they could come into the game and they kind of do fit in the game atmosphere... There's just no way Yoda or Darth Vader could go be in them without it being totally tacky and forced like. Never. Oh and time travelling has never been able in Star Wars universe. I am honestly considering it more plausible that Ivy would get gang raped by every single male cast in bukkake session than that making any sort of sense. I can't believe some people are actually defending this idea, because it's a really horrible and feels like cheap way of trying to fish in more fans.


Also, how the fuck is that even a fair contest???! These people have not only light sabers (Wouldn't the light sabers destroy the people's weapons on single hit??) , they have force!  In fact, the only way to get these characters to even work is to suck everything cool about them out and tone their powers down so much they'd fit in and not be overpowered gods. And even then, there's no way in hell I could believe they're part of the Soul Calibur franchise.


Fucking George Lucas managed to ruin another impossible to ruin franchise.


But yeah, enough of why I hate the idea. What you think?

Well I for one as a paying consumer.

Heihachi blew ass but Spawn could have been someone else but *the* spawn from the comics. I don't know, I don't own X-box. Link fit most perfectly out of the three and made most sense.

I mean, what next? Sephiroth and Goku in the cast? Jason and Freddy Krueger? They're not any less sense making than Darth Vader or Yoda and could be put in as "funny extra characters." Hey, why not put Robocop and Terminator while at it too? Think of the money they'd be able to draw with these popular characters as cameos.

First of, who plays these games for the story? Yoda and Darth Vader are just two bonus characters, one on each system. I don't understand why people got upset. Soul calibur 3 gave us zero bonus characters. I won't deny that Im very happy about this since I'm a major Star Wars fan. But complaining that they won't fit the story... *giggle*.. yeah the amazing story of Soul Calibur is just silly. They are just a bonus... something fun.

You're upset over Lightsabers? What about Taki slitting peoples throats and they walk away like her knives were made out of rubber. Spawn was as much "shit" as these are. Don't talk physics and stuff when it's about a fightning game, because if they did care, peoples limbs would be lying around everywhere.

If two (one really depending on which system) characters makes a game shitty, two bonus characters I might add again, then you're just awfully picky and silly.

The real whine is that one of the consoles gets Darth Vader and the other doesn't. No one wants to play Yoda. DARTH VADER FOR ALL!

We should have all known how shitty it was going to be after seeing Ivy's redesign. Bigger tits wasn't enough. No.... they had to push MAXIMUM EXPOSURE OF THE TITTIES too. Gimmicks barely helped it last time (lol spawn link and tekken guy).... so they felt the need to use tits and the Star Wars fanbase as a hook this time around? It wouldn't be surprised if this was the last game of the series.

Heh, all this talk of plausability has made me realise something.

With all of theese introduced cameos, it would actually be more plausable to make
a soul calibur character than just about any other cameo character introduced to date.

Plus it'd probably sell more too. I know I'd play it (or at least download the trailer and watch it whenever I wanted to laugh my ass off).

I really don't understand how this ruins your experience in the least!
You absolutely hate these characters? Then don't use them. Simple as that. You're only going to see them in character selection, maybe tape some censor-papers on your TV so the problem is solved.

I don't think these characters canon in any way with the story, just as I completely ignored Heihachi in SC2. They're in the game just for fun.

I think these news are awesome. Not a big fan of Star Wars, but Vader and Yoda are the best guest charas you could have.
PS3 version is the one to get obviously.

Except that Darth Vader is one of the most iconic characters ever created. Pretty much anyone knows who the guy is even without having seen Star Wars.
