Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur 4
While most fighting games fans are getting hopped up about Street Fighter IV, there’s another fighting game franchise that’s about to hit its fourth incarnation. And it’s bringing some crazy Jedi and Sith powers to the table.
In Soul Calibur III, there were three console-specific characters: Link (from the Legend of Zelda), Heihachi (from the Tekken series), and Spawn (from Spawn). These characters were not originally from the Soul Calibur franchise, so it was a welcome change of pace. Link fit in especially well, since he’s a sword-wielding warrior anyways. For Soul Calibur IV, they’ve welcomed the world of Star Wars.
Check out the video clip above for some crazy Soul Calibur IV action involving Jedi master Yoda and the dark lord known as Darth Vader. At a little past the halfway point in the video, you can see Darth Vader using the Force Pull. That seems a little unfair considering that no other Soul Calibur character has a ranged attack. Then again, he is Darth freakin’ Vader, so that’s okay.
Soulcalibur IV: Mitsurugi Stares at Cassandra’s Boobs
I’ve never been all that big a fan of the Soulcalibur series, even when we knew it as Soul Edge. The weapons-based fighting game just reminded me too much of Battle Arena Toshinden, which I also didn’t like. That said, I thought it was pretty awesome when I could use Link (from The Legend of Zelda) to battle it out in Soulcalibur III on the Nintendo GameCube.
Well, up until now, Dead or Alive has been the reigning king of fighting game boobies. Namco Bandai apparently wants to dethrone the breast monarch, because they’ve definitely gone up a cup size or two for Soulcalibur IV, a fighting game set for release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The screenshot you see here is of Mitsurugi and Cassandra. And this is probably one of the more tasteful pics. If you leap on over to Games Radar, you’ll find a whole whack of preview pictures. Taki’s skin tight uniform leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination.
