Check this out. Yoda and Darth Vader... in Soul Caliber?!

Looks like Namco-Bandai just pressed the Epic Win button.

Discuss.

Epic in its awesomeness.

I don't even play Soul Caliber, but that makes me want too.

Am I in heaven?

ha ha ha!! crazy man! where in the world did they get such an idea?!

Someone get Link Antilles's attention. This might actually get him interested in a fighting game for once.

PS3 version get Darth Vader. Xbox 360 gets Yoda.

This is a perfect match for me being a PS3 owner. Because I am going to bust some fools up with the Dark Side.

BRING IT!!!

Interesting. They seem a bit more out of place than the more medieval themed extra characters from Soul Calibur II. Cool nonetheless. I really can't wait for the character creation system.

...is this for real?! *random string of profanities* This is all kinds of win.

Wouldn't the lightsabers instantly melt the swords?

Am I the only person who really doesn't like all these bonus characters being borrowed from other universes?

It's epic alright, but I ain't feeling the win.

Not just Link... That might just get me interested in an xbox 360.

Wow, that's a pretty victorious combination. It makes me depressed that this isn't coming to Wii ._.

There is no trailer link in the original post. People must watch the trailer to appreciate the win of Darth Vader and Yoda: Click here

Wouldn't the first/second sword strike instantly sever limbs causing almost immediate bloody deaths to the characters?

...

C'mon guys. It is a video game.

Not sure if you're the only one, but franchises like Marvel vs. Capcom, Capcom vs. SNK were fantastic fighting game franchises while featuring characters from all types of universes. So such a move does not necessarily mean a drop in game quality.

The Soul Calibur universe is also quite laughable in terms of consistency, chronology, and logic. So I do not see how adding Star Wars really breaks anything when one can argue that the game universe is not particularly put well together in the first place, like most Japanese fighting games.

New characters of the Soul Calibur universe are also introduced in this iteration. So I do not see the real loss of anything significant to those who are not interested in Star Wars.

"You underestimate the POWER of the Dark Side!"

This should be interesting.....

And you're complaining about that in a game where one of the characters drives his huge battle axe into your stomach, spins you around on it, throws you about sixty feet into the air, and your character gets back up and fights?

As far as the actual news itself, I must respond with a hearty "Meh."

And, notice how there is no release for the Wii. I suppose this is retribution for the Gamecube port having the most seriously terribly broken character in 3d fighting game history.

Those games are built around the concept of characters from multiple universes to begin with though.

Hah, glad I'm not the only one. hehe I'm kind of with Tycho on this one.

What they should do is Have Optimus Prime and Megatron playable.
And if a Wii port is made, have Link again or at least somebody from the Fire Emblem games.

I think it's stupid as well.

Fourth. While it can be incredible sometimes, this is not one of them.

It's just marketing to get people to buy the game.

Well this works out perfect... Have an XBox360 and Yoda is my hero... though my brother will be a bit disappointed. His is Darth Vader. And it will be disappointing me and him can't fight each other as Yoda and Vader =( 2 player Star Wars Battlefront II, he's Vader, I'm Yoda and I tare him up so bad, lol.

Yoda FTW...

I think this idea stinks as well. Yoda looks like he can be defeated easily with quickly low sweeps.

Never underestimate the power of the force

Yoda wasn't really all that tough in Revenge of the Sith...

Revenge of the what? Lets see there was "Star Wars" "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi". Whats Revenge of the Sith? Is that like a recent cash in on the Star Wars universe or something?

Lol:lol:, I guess a lot of people really dislike the prequel trilogy:lol:.
Yoda is still cool. I'm just a bigger fan of Transformers, GI JOe, LOTR, Halo, other series's.

Namco should really consider adding more than just one guest star from a certain franchise.

I don't what you have to complain about really. At least 360 and PS3 owners are getting a Soul Caliber games for the seventh gen consoles.

Wii owners are getting shouldered with some cheap hack 'n' slash button bash fest some bright spark decided to call Soul Caliber Legends... and its pretty rubbish to boot.
