Yes, you read right. Yoda and Darth Vader have been officially announced at CES ’08 as characters in Soul Calibur IV. Why? I have no clue what-so-ever. Does it make sense? NO. It seems Namco has decided that Jedi and Sith should be in this game.
If we’re lucky, may be the game will include even more characters to alter the storyline thusly: Kilik finds his new master with Tony the Tiger (360)/Toucan Sam (PS3). Tony/Sam will teach him the ways of a balanced breakfast (free Soul Calibur IV stickers in each box of Kellogg’s cereal!). There is a problem, however, because a deadly assassin from the future has come to the past to claim Tony’s/Sam’s life. Robocop (360)/ Terminator (PS3) has come to kill the cereal master. Robocop has been altered by the evil OCP with a new prime directive to kill any cereal master. On the PS3 storyline, the future children have fought valiantly and won against the machines thanks to the delicious nourishment that Frosted Flakes brings. The Terminator is then sent to the past to eliminate the source of their downfall. The last master has changed as well. On 360, Scott Baio is “in charge” while on the PS3, Tony Danza will show you “who’s the boss”.
I guess it could be worse, but man why can’t we just have an honest to goodness Soul Calibur game without the crap? Just because I love both Star Wars and Soul Calibur doesn’t mean they go together. I also like ice cream and sushi, but you won’t see me mixing them together any time soon.

Not to be ugly but I didn’t here you complain when Link was in 2.
True, I was excited about that one at the time. Looking back, it did seem silly, though, and he did look really out of place. ON the upside, his move set was great. Still, I can’t look at this without thinking this idea was made by a 5 year old. Eh, either way, the game will probably rock and I’ll get it on one of the systems…although I am sure what Namco was hoping was that owners of both systems would get both. You know, the “gotta catch ‘em all” syndrome of Pokemon…that won’t be me, though.
i wasn’t going to say anything but link was way closer of a match than anybody from star wars, lol.
“On the PS3 storyline, the future children have fought valiantly and won against the machines thanks to the delicious nourishment that Frosted Flakes brings. The Terminator is then sent to the past to eliminate the source of their downfall.”
That made me LOL.
Thanks. Glad someoneelse sees the humor in it as well.
