I don't really like this one.  I mean, why the hell would Yoda and Darth Vader go to Earth to fight over some damn cursed sword?

Me thinks Namco wants to outdo Nintendo when it comes to surprise character reveals XP .

But I am puzzled as to how Namco got the Star Wars license when Lucasarts has it locked with an iron grip...

"But I am puzzled as to how Namco got the Star Wars license when Lucasarts has it locked with an iron grip"

Since Lucasarts has, you know, "Lucas" in the title I imagine their rights to the Star Wars licence is like Nintendo's rights to Mario.  They either get a cut or George Lucas just says "Star Wars guys are in Soul Calibur" and the discussion ends there.

I think it looks pretty silly but I'm mostly offended by Yoda fighting with a lightsaber.  I don't care if he did it in the sh!tty prequels.  It looked f*cking stupid then and it looks f*cking stupid now.  It's a shame that I can rarely enjoy new Star Wars related stuff anymore because it always has post-1997 crap in there f*cking it up for me.

Remember when people whined about Snake in Brawl?

Yeah, I thought they were full of sh*t back then too.

Oh, for crying out loud.... At least Link fit the setting! But Vader and Yoda are Sci-Fi! What next, robots?

Its official: The new fad in fighting games is the appearance of unlikely characters.

Think about it...

SC II started the trend with Link, Heihachi and Spawn. Then DoA 4 featured Mistress Chief. Most recently, Brawl unveiled Snake from MGS and now we have Star Wars characters in SC IV.

Next up, Captain Picard, Neo and Phoenix Wright on Street Fighter IV!

Reports are coming in that Vader will be exclusive to the PS3 version and Yoda will make an appearance on the 360 only.

If they ever decide to make a Wii version, my guess that good old Obi-Wan Kenobi or Luke Skywalker would fit the bill. Think about it:

Vader: Black like the PS3
Yoda: Green, a color associated with the Xbox brand
Obi-Wan/Luke: Blue lightsabers, the secondary color for Wii.

Damn I hope its not true that Vader will be PS3 exclusive. =(
I guess this will be the first (and only) multiconsole game I'll be getting for my PS3 if thats the case.

man it really sucks, Yoda blows.

Thank you Golden and Arbok for further proving my point =3 .

And yeah, it seems appropriate that Vader is PS3 exclusive. Thinking about it, someone at Sony LOVES Vader. He is engraved on the Star Wars PSP as well...

Seriously. If Vader is only on PS3, I, and MANY 360 fans, are going to be really pissed off.
