Soul Calibur IV's secret characters: Darth Vader and Yoda

[wraggster]

Is it April already? A quick glance at our calendars confirms that it's still January, and an extended glance at 1UP's reveal of Soul Calibur IV's secret characters does nothing to evaporate the reigning feeling of utter confusion. The lineup of saucer-eyed assassins, scantily clad combatants and bizarre pain fetishists in Namco's anticipated fighter is set to be joined by the Sith's darkest lord and the Force's most diminutive master. Our little green friend can almost manage to fit in to Soul Calibur's ye olde fantasy trappings, but poor ol' Vader appears to have gotten lost and disoriented after leaping over some sharks on his space jet ski.

Even better news can be found in 1UP's suspicion that even more Star Wars characters will waltz into Calibur's cantina, possibly via downloadable content. An interesting idea, but we reckon you'd save money by simply buying a copy of Masters of Teräs Käsi off eBay.

Update: Gamespot reports that Darth Vader is reserved for the PlayStation 3, while Yoda will be included in the Xbox 360 version.

Boooo.... I'd rather have Vader than that pesky kermit the frog wannabe.

April Fools has defo come early. :rofl:

Yeah I prefer Darth Vader than Yoda, but I have a 360 so yeah...

Anyways, I read that probably more Star Wars' character will appear. I hope to see Darth Maul or something on 360. Or downloadable character via Xbox Live.

This is cool! But Yoda does seem a little on the short side to fit into the mechanics of the game. Maybe Vader and Obi One (Alec Guiness style) would be better or even Luke, set like at the end of Return Of The Jedi with the Emperor looking over you, window in the background etc.

I can't wait for SC4!
