Hahaha, well they have had guest characters in Soul Calibur before, so it is not a huge stretch. Is this for the Japanese market too?

It's a nice PS3 game to look forward to. Hopefully the system is down to a good price for a videogame system soon.

I don't think they've announced a release date yet. I'm jizzin' with anticipation anyway.

Early word is Vader and Yoda will be replaced by a tentacle-rape monster and Tingle from Wind Waker.

When SC3 had the make your own character mode, a lot of poeple were using it to create the likeness of their favorite character from elsewhere. So if you can't beat them, why not join them?

But if they put the Star Wars characters, they better be above using Soul Calibur/Soul Edge. There's a parody dojinshi in Japan where people are trying to conjure up a weapon more well known than Excalibur, and they ended up getting a Lightsaber (and then it was noted that manga characters do not know how to use the Force so it was no use to them). Now you can argue whether a Lightsaber is really the most legendary sword ever, but it is certainly far above Soul Calibur/Soul Edge.

Well, that clinches it. I am buying this game.

I mean, it's ridiculous, but in an AWESOME way.

You get to be DARTH VADER.

SOLD! Ca-fucking-ching!

Can I get an amen?

Would Yoda even be hittable with high or medium attacks?

Thats a very interesting point that could be a topic itself. Of all things Lucas and shitty, he hit the nail on the head with the lightsaber... truly legendary.

Well the video says 'The soul swords may have met their match" so it indeed looks like Yoda and Darth Vader would have no use for the Soul Calibur/Edge, which makes sense.

New info says Vader is only in the PS3 version and Yoda is only in the XBox version.

Looks like a pretty big victory for the PS3.

Aw, FUCK.

Stupid Yoda...

I refuse to buy a PS3 until I see Metal Gear Solid 4 on it!

...and I have the money...

Aaaaargh! That means I have to get a JOB!

WHY?

WHY JAPAN, WHY!?

Actually, I would prefer Yoda. That's a shame that they split it up like that, though.

I think it's freakin' stupid that they're split up and in a few months you'll see each available for download to fill in on the respective networks

I think you're right. There's no excuse to split them up other than to squeeze a paid download out of people who want both.

Almost guaranteed it'll be paid, probably 400 MS points with an extra level or something silly like Ubi's doin' with the Naruto game
