Clips of Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur IV
http://kotaku.com/343089/vader--yodas-new-sciv-trailer

When I saw Yoda facing down Asteroth I laughed and cried at the same time.  Is there a word for that?  Craughing?  Lauying?  I did that.

I'll refuse to rent it in protest.

Surely to Yoda's buttcrack that's a well put together joke.

(Nope, ain't April yet.....)

But given GL's whore ways of late, there's honestly no telling.

Best lightsaber game ever.

I am forced to agree with Schild here.  Soulcalibur with lightsabers sounds like instant win to me.

I can't watch the video...this is not a joke? :ye_gods:

I can't decide if it's awesome, or retarded.

Probably both.

I'm in the same boat.. but i do love me some lightsaber combat goodness.

I used to be a JK2/JKA freak.

I'm with rattran.

I can't wait!

Masters of Teras Kasi minus (most of) teh suq.

Nah. MoTK blew dead dogs.

This is the goodness of SC, plus 2 character skins of extra fun.

I'll take 2.

What's the problem ?

Clipping issues. Yoda is too short and can duck under most lows. It's imba.

For the record, Yoda is supposedly exclusive to the 360 version, while Vader is excllusive to the PS3 version.

Yoda and Vader confirmed for Brawl!

 :hello_thar:

They already had Spawn and Link in 2. These are at least cool. I personally think it's awesome.

Soul Caliber has always been a silly made up daft game.  (I don't mean that in a bad way.)

Hell, put Wookies and Carebears and Jesus in there.  Who gives a fuck ?

Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Fuckity Fuck, Fuck.


This might actually sell me on getting a new console before I planned.  God I'm sad.

I like this.

I'd like to say I think this is stupid, but god damn I want to kick ass as Vader. And I don't even care for Star Wars.

I really like Soul Calibur. I thought it was pretty well done when I played it, but I'm sure Hammer will come tell me why I am wrong.  :uhrr:

Jesus and a staff.

Oh man, we should just code our own Heroes of the Bible fighter.

Adult Swim beat you to it.

Shit that's right.

Shame.

I had a great title for the figther.

"King of Jews".

This is the part that pisses me off. Fuck both versions unless you can unlock both characters in both versions.

That looks awesome. I agree with Riggs about the exclusivity characters, though. Mebbe they should just do one with a ton of licensed characters. Graphics look wicked.

Unfortunately, I don't have consoles and I don't hang out with the guys I used to play console games with, so this goodness will pass me by. I did love Soul Calibur whatever on the xbox, though. 2?

Oh, wow. The good cameo is on the PS3.

HOW INTERESTING.

Trying to tell us something, but I have no idea what. 

I feel like a deaf version of Timmy and Lassie.

Know what else is interesting? It doesn't fucking matter.  They'll just make me pay for it and call it extra content.

Not likely.

How the fuck not? Just move some of the 'unlockable' stuff that they usually do to some shitty content pack that costs 400 MS points or some shit.

Or they've figured out some way to bend time and space and allow a PS3 and 360 to play on the same game server.

Fuck if I know.

Edit:  Or likely Schild is playing some illusionary game whereby the PS3 is good and holy and the 360 is evil incarnate.

Of late? Where have you been for the past 30 years?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11fkegYiYEI

You win.

I had all pf those.  3PO would come apart with one good shot from GI-JOE's rockets.  It was awesome. 

Holy shit, I remember that commercial. 

The best one was still, "Surprise, surprise! It's Lando in disguise!"

No, Yoda is cooler.
Vader stopped being cool in Attack of the Clones because Anakin was discovered to be a Final Fantasy character.

And Yoda has always ruled. 

The problem is I doubt I will be stupid enough to pay 60 dollars for a fighting game even if I can play Yoda.

I'll wait for it to go budget like I did Soul Calibur 2 most likely.

How would Vader expect to beat Yoda anyways? That big pussy couldn't beat any Jedi in the movies.

Anyways, the extra characters in SC2 didn't screw up my enjoyment of that game, so it might be cool.

They better un-fuck Talim and Taki. I could not use them for shit in SC3.

SC2 on my Xbox was pure awesome.

No politics outside the politics board.  Get back in your cage!

Such images should not be in-lined, thanks. :ye_gods:

Lord Vader has such a sweet smile.

Yeah and Yoda turned little ninja in the new movies. I'd love to put some imba jedi ninja moves :P

Lums latest picture has owned the whole subject.

 :awesome_for_real:

Oh shit thanks for the blast from the past, that was classic.

I'd buy this game and what ever system it came out for in a heart beat if they did in fact include a Murloc.

Martin van Buren's special veto throws are. . well, they're astounding.  He's totally unbalanced.

Hahaha.  Don't sell the punch on the original post.  The effect must be awesome if you don't know what's coming. 
It's not like SW had any dignity left, might has well have fun with the diseased corpse.

"Wah wah wah, Star Wars has lost all dignity, this is whoring, wah wah wah!"

Seriously, I'm the Star Wars guy and even I don't take it seriously enough to drop my monocle at the idea of Yoda throwing down with fucking Kazuya or Chun Li or whoever the hell is in this game.  It sounds like a fun idea.

What he said.

It's just a crossover. Probably a pretty shallow one, but if you are expecting anything else from Soul Calibur, you don't know what you're messing with. It's so shallow that there will be very little attempt to justify why these 2 characters are in soul calibur - POOF, they're here... LIGHTSABERS, PEW PEW! Now if the game were more story driven it might be painful, but it's not, so who really cares?

He-man might have nothing to do wtih the transformers, but I can remember mixing those toys up. Are you going to tell me you never had fun making Man at Arms wrestle Wheel jack while Luke Duke and Destro did brodies in the General Lee and the Baroness froze Han Solo in carbonite? This is starting to sound like erotic fan fiction now, so I'll stop.  :pedobear:

Yoda stopped being cool after those awful "Who da man? Yoda man!" commercials for attack of the clones.

Many an afternoon did the Autobots and Decepticons have to team up to defeat the Empire, back in the mid-eighties on my bedroom carpet.  Sometimes the Empire had random dinosaurs and shit on their side, to fill out their ranks.  It was epic.

My Transformers quaked at the might of the MechLego army they were up against  :grin:

Gi-Joe vs the Battle Beasts in their Construx fortress & fighting vehicles.   If only Joe had known that "Water! Water puts out fire!"

Yeah, bitches.

Marvel vs Capcom vs Star Wars vs Transformers.

There's a title that would get me playing fighting games again.

You had me up to transformers. Then it got as gay as your avatar.

Transformers was the last thing in the title.   :uhrr:

EDIT:  Unless you're actually skipping Star Wars hate to give me Transformers hate, in which case bite my ass.  I can get past Star Wars hate because "lol sand is coarse lol" but if you hate Transformers, we gots to throw down.

Awesome, Freddy Mercury just called a care bear gay.

It ties all the topics together, and comes with tiny toy Tie Fighters!!!

Transformers are cool.  I like Transformers.
I don't like most Transformers fans though.  They all seem to worship a shitty mid 80s cartoon for some reason.
And they get mad if you don't encourage them to spend 100s of dollars a month on them...

True. If you ever want to be really really frightened, google any toy line that was popular some 20 years ago or more. You will find Lovecraftian Horrors. (http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/Glade/9754/memories.html)

I never understood how Sci-Fi lit fans consider themselves less geeky than video gamers. Mostly because some sci-fi lit fans will read what results from that last box. And I bet that last box considers themselves sci-fi lit authors.

Oh, did I just put video gamers at the top.

My bad. :oh_i_see:

Hey, what's you got against Peekay Bear!?

This toy is evil.  My wife bought it for our son's x-mas present.  Dad then spent the next 2 hours trying to understand how to transform it.. and it never did look like the fucking picture. All those goddamn panels interlock and interweave in very specific ways, with nothing to support them.  It's like trying to put a fucking eggshell back together.

And I used to be GOOD at Transformers, too.  Fucking old age.

Maybe something a little easier for ole pops then?

 :drill:

Go-Bots are like the K-Mart of Transformers.

The old Gobots were kickass toys, in some cases superior to a comparable Transformer.  (In others not so much...)
The problem was how we got them outside of Japan.  A REALLY lame cartoon show, and a half assed backstory.

In that Megatron:Genesis comic (or whatever was the title) it had Megatron butchering Cy-Kill.

That was awesome.

 :awesome_for_real:

Joo bastard!

Nah, we've got a few of the "playschool" transformers for the son-spawn too.  The Bumblebee one is about as complicated as the 80's version of Prowl.  The ability to manufacture much tinier and more detailed parts in toys (as first seen when you compare the 70's/ 80's Star Wars figures with todays multi-articulated and finely detailed versions) is being used very extensively in the new Transformers line.

   As a result some of the things are really fucking delicate and complex, and just the *slightest* bit of pressure the wrong way pops off an arm or head.. or the whole set of legs.   Honestly, sometimes I think the things were designed for 30-somethings to sit on a shelf and remember their childhood rather than the vigorous, destructive play of a 5-12 year old. 

Not Canon? Here's some 'not canon.'

Necrid apparently appears in Smash Bros Brawl.

So.. the game keeps getting pushed back because they're implementing like 4k characters from every videogame they can get their hands on then?  What next, "Morte is in Brawl!  Oh hey, so's Hello Kitty!"

50 characters total.

Still some unnanounced Squeenix characters.

Also, the side scrolling adventure mode from before is like full fledged RPG or some shit.

I'm usually disagreeing with schildy on the Wii being useless, etc, but the mandatory waggle-stick controls are going to fuck Smash Bros. And the sideways Wiimote is no Wavebird, let alone a 360 or PS controller.

I thought this was pretty stupid myself.  It was pretty much blatant fanboy handjobbing.
Sort of like the Tristar Godzilla getting totally punked by the real Godzilla in whichever 00s Gmovie did that. 

Its TOO pandering and obvious.  Its more or less a scream of LOVE THIS CONSUMER PRODUCT.  LOVE IT.

Cloud and/or Sephiroth.  :grin:

Punching Hello Kitty in the head would be fun.

Interesting.  I didnt think of it that way.

BECAUSE YOU'RE TOTALLY WRONG.  SHUT UP.

They needed a gladiator for Megs to stab, and they made it an homage to Go-Bots, for fun.

Derail powar at 50% and rising!
