The-chosen-one Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 hahahah that would screw up the story didn't the story played in ancient times? and starwars in about the year 4000? in the future but the green fella looks cool , darth vader looks a bit strange
killer kirby Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 ummm if you look at the start of the movie the text clearly says 'A long time ago in a galaxy far far away' making them 2 characters able to be in it easily.
Choze Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 hahahah that would screw up the story didn't the story played in ancient times? and starwars in about the year 4000? in the future I disagree the story makes complete sense.
Solo Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 starwars in about the year 4000? in the future It happened a long time ago...
Tellyn Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 NO FUCKING WAY!!! ZOMFG!!! *collapses into fits of happy excitement*
Daft Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=90446 Common, please can I play as Altair!!! He would actually fit into to SC nicely!!
Shino Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Can we get Vader in 360 and Yoda in PS3 trough DLC?
M-PG71C Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 It seems Vader is exclusive to the PS3, as much as Yoda is exclusive to the 360. Well, I guess I'm getting the PS3 version. :P
Daft Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 At first I wanted Vader more but as cool as it would be to fight as Vader I think Yoda would be more fun. Plus facial animations and backward grammar he has. I think they should make them timed exclusive to each version because I really don't want to pay extra for a character that is in another version...although I would.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Yoda would be more suitable to the SC universe. Like a lilttle green ancient space traveller dude....But an emperor clad in a plastic mask? Dunno.
Pete Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Re Mundi's Link Oh for gods sake you cant play both characters in any port of the game, I love Star Wars and Soul Calibur and was very pleased when I 1st heard this news (hense my very enthusiastic post before ) but not to have both characters playable in both ports is a very dumb move on Namcos part (its not like this will help shift more units). Still at least as Ill be getting this for PS3 (my flatmate got one) ill be alble to play Vader I think he'll be more playable that Yoda (he's such a wee thing, lol) however if he plays like Yoda fighting Count Douku in attack of the clones I could be wrong.
jammy2211 Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 IS this confirmed for online yet? 2008 has two awesome fighters lined up for the HD consoles (This and Tekken 6), and if only Tekken 6 is online, then I know which one I'm getting :P. So er, anyone know? Never played a SC before but now would be a good time to start.
Gizmo Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Excellent, I'd rather have Yoda, and I only have a 360 anyway. I don't understand why people are complaining really, Link was cool in SC2 imo, and I played as Heihachi at my friends house and he seemed to work too. And I'm not even a Star Wars fan.

So er, anyone know? Never played a SC before but now would be a good time to start. I can't freaking believe you've never played as link in SC2 ...You should get that first, since this games seems to be akin to them. If you love Zelda (which you do ^^) you will love the selection of swords that come from the Zelda universe Biggoron's sword etc.
The-chosen-one Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 i always played with link in my opinion he was the coolest character in soul calibur and 2nd place is for nightmare
Ten10 Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 It happened a long long time ago... In a galaxy far far away................. [ insert long winded story in yellow text on space background]
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 When I first saw the trailer, I just thought both characters would be available in both versions. It's a bit...shitty that one version only gets Vader, and the other gets Yoda. With Link, it was different, as he was an exclusive Nintendo character. Kinda like HeiHachi(sp?) from Tekken on the PS2. Maybe it's to put more pressure on people to get the PS3 version? Yoda is cool, but this is Darth Fucking Vader.
gaggle64 Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Somehow this actually puts me off buying it. Not specifically because the inclusion of Star Wars characters, but because I get the feeling that there's someone sitting somewhere in a luxuriant marketing office, cackling evilly as he watches the great unwashed fall over themselves just to play as Yoda.
Daft Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Soul Calibur is about speed and reactions, both of which Yoda is better at. However Darth Maul wins hands down. I will buy whichever version Darth Maul is in. Mitsurugi is still the greatest, I don't care if Alien or Predator was announced...actually that would be awesome. Where is my Alien vs Predator fight!?
Pete Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Lol, now that a funny cheeky poke at star war fan-boys right there .
Kurtle Squad Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 I'm a Star Wars fan, its just we've been here before. The last "gimmick" characters from SC2 turned out to be totally shit in use. Soul Calibur is about Soul Calibur, not Namco thinking "oh shit, SC3 didn't sell too well what crap can we get this time?" Link was alright.
Daft Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 I'm in the minority of one, it seems, that actually liked Necrid. Link was awesome as well. They should have used Medieval Spawn.
McPhee Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 My only objection is it seems silly to see a guy with a sword fighting a guy with a lightsabre. I mean, COME ON! Would rather have seen Final Fantasy characters or something like that. Heck i'd even have settled for Sauron and Gandalf... EDIT: Necrid was awesome! Hope he returns! Link was plain crap, one of the most useless characters in the game
