Yeah, I didn't plan on picking this up until now.  Smooth move, Namco.  PS3 version all the way.

Normally I don't care if this happens or not, but this is sure starting to look like "How do we get people to buy the same game over and over?  Add just a few characters from other franchises to each iteration!  Can we get them to buy each build too?  Yeah we'll spread the characters out between them!"

you know, I'm kinda wondering what kind of crappy reason they're going to use, to explain why Darth Vader/Yoda can't beat their oponents with their eyes closed, as it should be... (I mean, grip/win... pull/stab/win works too!)

Won't matter one bit if they don't fix the series biggest issue, at any decent level of play it became incredibly obvious that Soul Calibur was hacked together gameplay, that goes triple for SC3.  And without an arcade release first, I doubt the game is even being considered for somewhat serious play.  Now with the addition of these two, it just became increasingly obvious just who they're trying to get to buy this game.

Seriously, why did they have to go and put these ridiculously unfitting characters into this game? At least Link/Spawn/Heihachi were somewhat fitting when they inserted them into SC2 (well I suppose Spawn is debatable, but Link and Heihachi definitely fit well). I just don't get it.

lol, I like to play as Yoda because I like the model better and I'm pretty sure they'll play the same except for height.

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.


further proof that ps3s are evil

EASYCURE: I remember thinking(don't ask me why) this was a blond haired, blue eyed, chiseled athlete. Like he looked like Seigfried before he became Nightmare.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

I learned the hard way with SC2 that just because the game has Link it it doesn't mean I'll play it for more than a few hours before growing tired of it and giving it to Cap.
