Yoda and Darth Vader in Soul Calibur 4

[LG[Infinite]]

This worries me. A lot.

If the amount of effort the developers put into selecting characters who actually fit is any indication - and by selecting Vader and Yoda I can only surmise the sum-total of that effort: zero - then I'd be very, very worried about the gameplay.

And you can argue all you want about whether or not Link, Spawn and Heihachi fit better, but they did. Link for one already comes from a game where a magical sword - the Master Sword - is a dominant feature of the game and Heihachi is of course one of the flagship characters from Namco' other fighting franchise, Tekken.

Anyone who watched the clip would also have seen the part where Ivy hits her opponent with a bright energy blast thing. I can only hope - and I mean this as sarcastically as possible - that it was Force Lightning.

And yes, I am bitter. Soul Calibur 3 was a glitch-ridden mess when it was released in the US and the sheer brokeness of the US version turned off a lot of former Soul Calibur 2 players. I'm from Australia, so we got the PAL version, but there were STILL game breaking glitches in that. For those in the know, I am of referring to things like Mitsu's 88B VC, although it isn't the only thing that I could point out.
