Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur IV
My Gaming Collection (Now at Google Drive!)
Awesome. Simply awsome.

And Namco's tradition of putting worthless joke (Kuma, Panda, Mokujin), and broken (Link, Spawn, Heihachi) characters continues.
And people wonder why I've been playing Virtua Fighter for 12 years now, and utterly hate Namco fighters. This is a perfect example.

Okay, I may have to finally upgrade from the original on Dreamcast...

I don't know how I feel about this yet. I LOVE Star Wars and I love Soul Calibur but watching the trailer for this it just seemed waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of place and kind of cheezy. I do hope it turns out well though. It's sucks that PS3 is getting Vader and 360 is getting Yoda.
...looks at calender.
it's not april yet.
Still namco just sold 2 copies of SC IV to me...if the wii one gets jar jar, then 3 copies.
How the hell do you block a lightsaber?
Very, carefully carefully young Skywalker...
As for PS3 getting Vader, Vader = dark black and shiny.
As for Yoda on XBOX 360... Yoda = greenish with red rings around eyes...
;P

Good analogy
These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
C'mon...seriously? I'll give you Spawn, he sucked, but I actually thought Kuma and Panda were pretty good. Link was fun to play with and Heihachi was/is one of my favorites from Tekken (by broken you mean too good, right?). Mokujin was like Tekken's version of Shang Tsung IIRC, only it was entirely random what character he was emulating each round. If you're proficient with all the characters though, that could be fun.
I like Virtua Fighter's characters, but I always found the gameplay to be slow and clunky compared to Tekken's. That's why I played Tekken and not VF.

At least it is Adult Vader and not the whiny dork younger one.

I'm a mild fighting game fan (read: I appreciate Capcom and SNK's character designs more than their fighting games generally), but this is pretty cool news. The only thing they need to do to ensure that people don't bitch their tongues out over it is to make sure these two don't pop up in arcade mode or whatever, or maybe have a setting in the options. Either way, cool collaboration.
I wouldnt count that out yet lol
Comic book guy not withstanding, this is pretty lame news. I mean free character and all, rah rah, but come on... Star Wars?
I'll be the first to admit here that I thought Spawn was a pretty awesome character, at least to play as (Cervantes/Rock hybrid). And Link and Heihachi both fit in pretty well with the Soul Caliber universe (Link is debatable). It would have been cooler if Namco to reach into their large IP cache and come up with more inspired choices (Rick Taylor from Splatterhouse would be entirely badass) or worked with the parent companies for their IPs similiar to SCII (Joanna Dark, Arbiter, Kratos, Rau).
I could just be biased because I absolutely HATE the muppet on crank that Lucas decided to use in Episode II & III. I thought it would have been infinitely more bad ass if Yoda's swordmanship came from "force wielding" the blades instead of making him flip around like a retarded spider monkey. So just knowing I'll be seeing a ton of his green ass on XBLA puts a really bad taste in my mouth.
Darth is cool I suppose but, again, he's tainted by the craptastic prequel trilogy.
Regardless, I'll still be up for kicking their asses with my Cervantes, Sophitia, and Voldo.
I for one think it's great when a company makes a continuing habit with a running series of throwing logic and overall cohesiveness to the wind in order to appeal to our immediate nerdgasm reflex. What's in store for SC5 -- Harry Potter characters? Fingers crossed!
Also anyone who disagrees with me or is critical of this move in any way is automatically the Comic Book Guy.

I heard SCVI will include Captain Kirk and Captain Picard as hidden characters.

Do you remember what happened last time Star Wars characters appeared in a fighting game?
