So you accept the existence of Jar Jar fucking Binks, but no Revan?

It seems to be a recurring thing in Soul Calibur - Rather than create a new character they use a character from a completely different franchise which already has some form of fanbase, (Link, Spawn, Yoshimitsu, Darth Vader, Yoda) who could be next in the series?

My bet is on the yellow block from Tetris. It can really dish out the pain.


this is kinda old, but what the fuck are you talking about? everyone there is a bonus character, except yoshimitsu, who was put in for hte hell of it. nobody you mentioned except yoshimitsu has anything to do with the soul calibur storyline.

characters new in soul calibur:

* Astaroth - Giant Axe
* Ivy - Snake Sword
* Kilik - Bo Staff
* Maxi - Nunchaku
* Nightmare - Soul Edge
* Xianghua - Chinese sword
* Arthur - Katana (Mitsurugi was redesigned exclusively for the world release of the arcade version (SOC14/VER.C), becoming a character named Arthur.)[4]
* Lizardman - Sword and Shield
* Edge Master - Imitative power
* Inferno - Imitative Power (Originally SoulEdge from Soul Edge/Soul Blade)
* Yoshimitsu - Katana and Sashimono


New Soul characters introduced in Soulcalibur II:

* Cassandra – Sword and Shield
* Charade – Imitative Power
* Necrid (Only on Home Versions) – Transforming Energy called Enigma
* Raphael - Sword-Rapier
* Talim – Dual Elbow blades (Bladed Tonfas)
* Yunsung – Korean sword (spelled Hong Yun-seong in Soulcalibur III)
New characters presented in Soulcalibur III are:

* Zasalamel – Uses a scythe.
* Setsuka – Uses a iaitō/iai sword hidden inside a parasol, which is used as a scabbard.
* Tira – Uses a ring-shaped edged weapon called Ring Blade, which is similar to a large chakram.
* Olcadan – Imitates other characters' weapons, one per character, lining up with the chosen weapon of his. The character he imitates is chosen at random, making him similar in style to Edge Master and Charade from the previous games.
* Abyss – Uses a mutated scythe.
* Night Terror – Uses a giant zweihänder. Night Terror is the true final boss of the game, appearing only if certain requirements in the Tales of Souls mode are met. He's not unlockable in normal game play.

plus all the arcade exclusive,bonus characters/ tales of souls characters, and creatable cahracters/disciplines.

soul calibur 4 thus far:

* Hilde
* Angol Fear (designed by guest artist Mine Yoshizaki)
* Ashlotte (designed by guest artist Oh! great)
* Scheherazade (designed by guest artist Yutaka Izubuchi)
* Shura (designed by guest artist Hiroya Oku)

At least SC seems to have constant new ideas for new characters.

They keep changing their Shang Tsung type character, which I think has been good for the game, but at the same time those Godlike characters don't get the longevity that would make them known or feared. Just mentioning "Shang Tsung" I think shows his influence for imitating fighters.

And... is Raphael gay?

raphael is flamboyant.

anyways, for the most part, the badass of the series is nightmare. it's just weird because he's playable.

I wish they'd have kept edge master. every other mimic has sucked expodentially.

I kill with Nightmare.

And note: Soul Calibur 4 will be released in Japan on July 31st. This means we're close... real close.

Vader and Yoda will even be on the covers:

That was Luke's original last name.

Also, these are the covers, at least for the preorder boxes I saw at Best Buy today.
