Title: Jedi in MY Soul Calibur?
Post by: clockworkjames on 10 Jan 2008, 16:21
It's more likely that you think.

And a little video! (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/29535.html?ref=embedfeat)

Apparently it's Yoda for 360 and Vader for PS3.

This pleases me on a certain level.

Discuss.

It makes me sad that I recognized the /b/tard in you based off one fairly obscure meme.

Yoda in Soul Calibur sounds fucking awesome.

Word is that the character from the other system will be available through your console's DLC provider. Also, other DLC characters, maybe. Probably more Star Wars people.

You know, I wish I could say that I cared about this, but I have no interest in fighting games at all anymore. Well, outside of Smash Brothers, of course. But God forbid you actually call it a fighting game around people who actually like fighting games, or the self-righteous tirades come fast and furious.

And nerf Taki.

Free, unavoidable ring out in three moves?  (My suite-mates hated me so much when I figured out how.)

hahaha. Oh man, I might have to pick this one up. I wonder if they'll have other weapons beyond their basic lightsabers like it's customary. And what the hell would they be?

I love me some fighting games.

I do not have me a 360 nor a PS3.

This makes me sad. (because i can't play them, not because of the jedi thing.  i am all for star wars.)

I can't decide if I'm excited about this or not to be honest. It just seem so ridiculously over the top that even my geektacular self can't really see this as being awesome so much as meh.

That might be prequels talking though.

I saw the video first, before hearing the whole yoda on the 360 Vader on PS3 thing. I was pumped about having the two square off.

I was going to get this game regardless, as I'm a huge Soul Caliber fan.

Post by: SevenPinkerton on 11 Jan 2008, 08:40
How would they fight with light sabers that would normally go through the swords? Wouldn't they be a thousand times better than anyone else?

Ah well, it's not like it ever made sense anyways, and it will be so much fun to fight as Yoda.

I did a search and found nothing, must have done it wrong.

Your powers suggest that maybe this is because it is YOU who is a jedi... Lord Vader...

I am looking forward to this, though I wonder how they will work it so that Yoda won't be extremely cheap thanks to a height advantage.  At least I hope they work it that way.

This is horrible!  There's no way anyone could block a lightsaber (except with another lightsaber).  For this reason alone, Yoda and Vader should be made to be completely overpowered.  Force-choke and insti lightsaber kills.

Definitely not the surprise characters I would have liked to see in this one.

I mean, fuck, how hard is it to figure out that Pyramid Head should be a guest character?  GET ON IT, GAMING INDUSTRY.

Spawn was worse, though, on the whole.  I'd say Link was stupid too but, come on, it's fucking Link.
Title: Re: Jedi in MY Soul Calibur?
Post by: PacoSees on 13 Jan 2008, 10:37
Of this whole cross-over business, Link is the only one that makes sense.

Though, Penny-Arcade's comic on the matter tends to make things a little more bearable.

Lightsabers don't go through everything. There's a bunch of stuff that can compete with them, if not on even ground.
Title: Re: Jedi in MY Soul Calibur?
Post by: clockworkjames on 13 Jan 2008, 15:56
Okay this is completely off topic but I have always wondered if the knife from the second book in the trilogy "His Dark Materials" by Phillip Pullman could cut a lighsaber blade.

The knife can cut through the fabric of time/space/universes/particles/spirits but a light saber is still a light saber, it is made of particles and such but if it WAS cut would it stay the length it was cut to or would it extend back?

If the soul edges are as sharp as this they could cut it but they would need strength so as not just to go through them.
Title: Re: Jedi in MY Soul Calibur?
Post by: Jackie Blue on 13 Jan 2008, 16:03
I'll bet you a million monies that Yoda will control like Link on crack, and Vader will be just another generic "big dude" like Nightmare.

I'm guessing it would re-extend since it's just a beam with a magically-limited length.

The knife would cut into the beam but as soon as the edge was through and the knife was in the path of the beam, it would get melted into goop and the saber would pop right back out. Kinda cool for 2 seconds then you're defenceless and no better off. I guess.

Vibroblades.

Nerrrrrrrrrd! Good call though, that'd work. Not sure how likely that is to actually happen.

Something I really want to see? Vader's dismembered arm as his own gag weapon.
Title: Re: Jedi in MY Soul Calibur?

You can't have jedi / sith without lightsabers. It just doesn't work.

Fine, the dismembered arm is still gripping his lightsaber.

I want that.

Post by: Cartilage Head on 21 Jan 2008, 21:02
They aren't going to make any explaination for why Lightsabers don't cut through the other weapons. This is just how it is going to be.

Spawn was worse

hey hey HEY

spawn as a soul caliber character was EXCELLENT and I will thank you not to take his name in vain.

good lord do I love me some spawn in SCII
Title: Re: Jedi in MY Soul Calibur?
Post by: MusicScribbles on 22 Jan 2008, 20:19
Will one of Vader's throws be a force choke? I can see the force powers being implemented in interesting ways, especially if they hark back to why SC2 was so good, and why SC3 was a bit meh in comparison, because I want an awesome Soul Caliber for my 360.
Title: Re: Jedi in MY Soul Calibur?
Post by: Jackie Blue on 22 Jan 2008, 21:06
Yes, Vader's force choke will be an unblockable throw with unlimited range.

This would be the only way to make things realistic.

Honestly, couldn't they just adjust the range and size of the model used and use Ivy's move set?

What? This is Soul Caliber. Leia's going to have 4 or 5 breast implants.

That would make me want to buy it on the wii just to cut him up.

Also I laughed pretty hard at this.
