New New Soul Calibur IV Screens, New Old Characters

Can't wait for this game, will probably purchase the 360 version. Yoda > Vader.

Screens look good, some characters I am not familiar with because the last game I had was SC2 for the original xbox. I just want Astaroth to kick ass.

Am I the only one who wonders why Zasalamel made it into SC4? I mean he's a good character, and everyone likes scythes, but didn't he die in SC3?

On a mildly related note... where the hell is Yoshimitsu?

as a huge SC fan i have one concern that is bugging the living sit outta me.......

THE CLOTHING!!!!

i think that namco is going a bit too overboard, embellishing their characters with all these whacky adornments. they better focus on gameplay! SC3 was lacking in balance dept. i mean i can whoop ass in any SC, but still.... i hope they dont go over the hill with the designs. sometimes less is more.

@Mr.SithNinja:
I think Soul Calibur (definitely Tekken) have crossed the line of absurd cameos by a nice long leap...

I would so buy it if you could battle Cap'n Crunch vs. Toucan Sam, or Tony the Tiger vs Snap Crackle and Pop, hehe...

Even though I figured the chances of it it being slim that he wouldn't be included, my mind is now resting easy knowing that Cervy is confirmed.

@Witzbold:
*sigh* I don't know... I call it the "curse of Youtube."
I looked quickly for one without music but it's a lost cause on there. The other day I looked up a clip from a documentary where there was a guy talking and someone had half-mixed it with their own music!

If you want an exercise in frustration, try to find out what a specific motorcycle sounds like on Youtube. You'd think that the engines play hip-hop from the factory!

@Yuki: haha - me too, me too

I've never played soul caliber before but I will probably buy this game now. Not just because of this but also being able to fight as Darth Vader is just awesome.

@Witzbold:

You mean for fighting game AMVs? Or all AMVs in general? I know for a fact that Final Fantasy/just about any JRPG AMV has a tendency for some interesting song choices...from J-Pop to Celine Dion.

Celine Dion and Squall's face is not a pretty combination.

Thats one thing I never understood about fanmade films.

@Ninja-Z:

Vader and Yoda do make since in this game though since Star Wars was a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away which can easily explain those two came here or whatever it they want to call it. Of course Star Wars characters aren't historically correct either.

This game will presumably have ninjas, pirates and Darth Vader.

How can it be beat? HOW?

Well, besides Brawl.

Cervantes definitely looks a bit overdone, but still badass. Not really digging the lolita look though.

Laughin_Caulk — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:16:41 MDT

@Ninja-Z: Zasalamel was probably the only balanced character in SCIII, so of course I'm with you there.

I just hope they announce adding ring-out saves, guard-impacts aren't so easy to pull off when someone is rushing you with quick jabs from someone like Mitsurugi or Yoshimitsu.

Ninja-Z — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:03:48 MDT

@Fireblast: Not to mention Yoda and Darth Vader are in the game, so I think historical accuracy is not exactly that big an issue here.

Am I the only one who's more excited about Zasalamel than Cervantes? I mean, Cervantes is cool and all, but Zasalamel just seemed like such a sweet character in SCIII. I don't have any other reasoning besides that, though, so feel free to criticize me for my taste.

The more characters I see in this game the more less likely I'm going to see a another character from Namco's other series like from Tekken (I liked Heiachi)
