Jedi Master, Sith Lord confirmed for SCIV

Both Yoda and Darth Vader have been confirmed as playable characters for the upcoming Soul Calibur IV.



Weird, but pretty cool. Anyone remember Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi for the original Playstation? Didn't think so. At any rate, I'm glad that Namco has decided to do something to create a little buzz for the game. Soul Calibur 3, while typically awesome in terms of gameplay, just felt too much like SCII and lacked the goodies to get the casual gamers talking (a playable Link, Spawn, etc). As a result, I ended up playing the game by myself, ultimately spending hours pounding the CPU into oblivion. But hey, with Yoda and Vader in the game, maybe a few more folks will pick up this installment. I'll always primarily be a Tekken fan, but with its 8-way run & single-frame parrying, Soul Calibur is really the fastest, deepest fighter out there.
