Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



We've only been treated to CG footage so far, but now we finally get a quick glimpse of Yoda and Vader battling it out. It's very short, but it's probably enough to get all of you Star Wars and Soul Calibur fanatics excited in the pants area. Yeah, that's pretty much it. We get a few seconds of the Star Wars legends fighting it out spliced in between CG footage we've seen before.

We do have some more good news though! Soul Calibur IV has been confirmed to be coming out July 29th here in America. There will also be a collectors edition of both versions of the games which will come with a comic that sets up Soul Calibur IV, extra customization content, and a tournament kit -- whatever the hell that is. All this will come in a metallic casing and retail for $79.99.   

You know what? I'm tired of Darth Vader and Yoda! I want to see some new footage of Ivy and Taki fighting. Nakedly.  

[Thanks, Gynecologist Cobra!]

Half of me thinks it's a stupidly cheap attempt to gain attention by putting Star Wars in Soul Calibur even if it makes no sense at all. So fuckin lame.

The other half though just goes "Who gives a shit, it's awesome!".

Eugh....

you know i dont understand wats with the negativity towards SC4 its like every one hates the idea that yoda and vader in it but why? starwars franchise is a complete sell out in the very beginning; why cant u guys be happy that you get to play Vader an Yoda with the same awesome mechanic that SC4 is renown 4. however Yoda juggling looks a bit overpowered. . .

Would be sweet if that move where Yoda jumps onto his opponent's axe and rides it were in the game, but something tells me that's just some programmed actions from the developers.

Shin-Ra You have a good point. I stopped hoping that anything new and Star Wars related would be any good way back in 1999 when I went to see a little something called Epsiode I: The Phantom Menace.

As much as I was surprised at the original announcement of the two characters, I've grown into the thought. Sure, it makes no sense at all, but the SC franchise has proved to be a solid and fun fighter. The characters seem to be shaping up well, and hey, if DV/Yoda can get a few more rounds out of the game with my friends, all the power to it.

PS- Amy.

If that collector's edition turns out to be anything awesome... shit.

And I still don't really care or like Vader and Yoda in it. To be honest, I'm much more excited about Hilde.

hopefully the collectors edition won't be as shitty as the DMC4 CE is. then again, I don't think most CE are anything worthwhile.

and yes i'm tired of Darth Vader/Yoda dick. Can I have some Sophitia/Tira boobs please?

Doesn't everyone already know that a lightsaber cuts through almost anything? It would cut a sword in half, then you, then cartirize your torso. Yes, yes I know lightsabers aren't real.

But my creepy 38 year old neighbor that lives with his mother said "his blueprints are almost ready...almost."

If they ever put any characters in my games that are not from the same IP, I will kill everyone I know, because I'm required to play as Darth Vader now.

Yoda was fighting Raphael not Vader. I thought that too at first though.

I guess I'm getting the special edition, then. I just wish these new special editions weren't frequently retailing for $80 instead of $70.
