Yoda footage (SCIV)
F Whipple | 8:53 PM on 05.26.2008 8 comments


Via IGN

For those who were curious as to how Yoda would work and move around in Soul Calibur 4, IGN has a short video showing him off; provided I can correctly imbed the video. Like most of us would have guessed Yoda tends to jump around a lot as he does in the movies in order to attack his opponent. Also, he's very short which obviously works to his advantage. In the video the opponent (who's either stupid or a low level computer) lands only one attack on the little green monster with all other strikes going over his head.

The most interesting part to me was how the force would work out, which to my knowledge hasn't been shown to us yet. Apparently Yoda can shower his enemy with force pushes as long as he has energy left in his special force bar. This can be used for ringouts or for spacing. No news about any other force powers. So far he seems cheap to me. Most attacks will go over his head and although he has short range it seems the only way to reliably hit him is when he is in midair preparting for an attack. He may also have cheap ring-outs due to the force.

Most importantly though, his level is an Imperial shuttle bay complete with Star Wars Music in the background.

saw it earlier today. awesome. I dont' know whats up with everyone thinking Vader is going to be better. The Yoda fight scene in episode II was the only good thing about the new Star Wars movies.

plus theres probably a 90% chance that Vader becomes XBL dlc and Yoda PSN

I havent played a SC since SCII for the gamecube, but by the looks of it, A) the computer/player isnt doing much just to show yoda's moves. B) I would take the Eddie (Tekken) approach block and when he slows then move in.

Wow. It would be great if some attacks could hit him.
braulio09's Destructoid Blog
I'm with Def JM. It's probably just a trailer to show off Yoda's moves, not a real fight to the death.

Also, why the fuck did the ground break? The fall wasn't that bad. Stupid effect.

Great, Soul Calibur has his Gon.

I'd rather see Ashlotte and Shura in action than Yoda and Darth Vader.
