Soul Calibur IV

To be fair, Gerry... Darth Vader and Yoda don't fit the Soul Calibur universe AT ALL XD yet they're in the game :P

Well I was thinking Master Chief doesn't fit more in the way of...whats his main weapon? Guns and stuff. Soul Calibur is more melee weapon fighting game. Master Chief doesn't really have a primary melee weapon.
 
Problem is SC has not been the same since SC2. SC2 was a great game no matter what platform you chose, yet... They totally Fed up in SC3. I think the second installment was too popular due to "Exclusive" characters and ruined everything. This is my favorit fighting game and yet part 3 was almost unplayable. Everything was completley uneven. Just focus on gameplay and take all these extra characters out please...

yeah but he/she rocked hard in DOA 4
 
Thats a non-weapon fighting game though so a spartan works, not so much in SC4.
 
I dunno, I am not a major fan of getting Yoda or Darth into the mix, it's been said in this thread about Lightsabers ripping through things, and then also the fact they use 'the force' to stop shit, although i think that'll be how they block and throw other than anything.

Also, I was looking forward to it, but i don't see how Yoda or Darth tie into the game, I'll have to see what's what before purchasing this...

Link and Spawn didn't fit into the story of Soul Caliber 2, but they were still good additions to the game. They're just throwing in other famous characters from other series, which is fine. What's we're talking about as far as "not fitting in" is how Master Chief only uses ranged weapons(unless they're dumb enough to give him the hammer or the sword), in a melee fighting game where no one has a ranged attack. Gameplay wise, they need to fit, even if they don't fit in plot-wise.

I gues that's true....Master chief would be stupid in this, simply coz Halo 3 was shit, and the reasons of weapons...
 
Don't forget how well Heihachi "fit into" SC2 PS2.
 
They had to make up for how completely broken Link was in the GC version.
 
i likes SC3 but it felt like i was playing 2 all over again without the exclusive characters. and i liked heihachi for the PS2 version. i heard Link was too good in the GC version but i never played it.

i'll be getting this game to see what it's like. the fights they have shown look fantastic. and i could care less about if vader is in the PS3 version, cause if Talim isn't there imma be plenty pissed.

Oh don't get me wrong Heihachi was okay to use but he just doesn't fit in in any way you can possibly think of.
 
yeah i see what you mean. SC is a weapon based fighting game with swords and staves ect at its helm. since his weapons were his fists he was a bit outside the box as far as this game's makeup goes. even the moment i saw him on the character list i figured that his weapon would be wristbands or arm guards or something of the like.

we cant deny that he's about a billion times more suitable then master chief. why he even came up in this thread i don't know. :wacko:

i just hope this game feels new like SC2 did when i first played it.

Mmm, jailbait.
 
Mitsurugi is the pimp shit. I also like Taki, Sophitia, Setsuka, Seong Mi-na, Cassandra, Hong Yun-seong and Xianghua. If you couldn't tell I like the short weapon, upclose fast attackers for the most part.

Im looking forward to Hilde and Shura in SCIV. Scheherazade looks good too and the other new bonus characters could be decent as well. Personally I think the Jedis are kinda tight, sure they might not fit into the story so good but for special characters they are cool. We'll see how they play out i guess.
