You just need to take off your hater pants Rad, and let the SW universe massage your unmentionables.

A simple 'may the force be with you.' would've been quite nice Tien Wink

lol but um yea, I'm wondering if they'll be adding in a storyline for these characters or just tossin em in for the hell of it. If they're just 'skins' or alternate costumes for a character than it's all good.

I assumed Yoda would play like a permanently-crouched Voldo, stays low/moves slow, mostly rolls for movement and does screwy attacks. I could see him even getting a unique fighting style, but not Vader. They usually base the extra characters' styles around them, but movie-Vader never really did much other than skulk and do force choke. That's why I think they're going to give him Mitsurugi's style. (plus, Vader is a better samurai than Mitsurugi anyway :E)

Don't care about Vader or Yoda. If they don't have Maxi, I don't have a character anymore.

I see this as 'desperate times call for desperate measures'. What can they really add to traditional fighting games these days? They've added just about everything. Except ... DARTH VADER AND YODA!? YEAH! That'll inject new life into the genre!

I suppose it would have been pretty hard to follow up from Solid Snake and Sonic being in SSBB. But whilst those sort've fit (Sonic moreso) it being a multi-universe game, this does seem kinda retarded.

That said, it has increased my interest in the game so hey, I guess the strategy works. I doubt I'll be buying, though, unless the rest of the game looks as cool. Making Vader unlockable on the 360 version would also be a plus.

Hey Rad, I know this is a bit off-topic, but how come you dislike Penny Arcade so much? I think you mentioned your dislike for them before, and I was always curious as to why. =o

They pretend to be relevant in the gaming industry. They show up at cons, they dish out statements like they are developers when they're just two stupid bald (okay, 50% bald) guys who have opinions about gaming. Dude, a lot of people who play games have opinions about them, they've just done nothing to deserve the attention they generate. I saw them in person at GDC getting interviewed and that was pretty annoying. Hey, don't interview people at real booths, let's interview two guys who draw webcomics!

Although, the work they do with their charity Child's Play is amazing and I support that every year. I wish they would use their exposure more for things like that then issuing statements to the gaming industry like they've been elected to represent all of us as a whole.

Not to mention how every time a video game is referenced the accompanying Penny Arcade comic pops up. Often they're funny, but for me it's one of those things that has just been ruined by other people.

So, Soul Caliber 4 - Super Buu - 01-14-2008

I've never seen them act overly arrogant. I think they're just two guys that got lucky and built up a big fanbase. It sounds like what you really dislike is the fanbase, rather than the guys themselves.

That happens a lot (think of all the people that hate DBZ and Naruto based purely on much of the inane fanbase. And all the cool/funny things which have become unpopular because they get parodied/spoofed to hell until the jokes aren't funny anymore. Star Wars/300) but it's not really the fault of the creator.

So, Soul Caliber 4 - Bojack - 01-14-2008

This is sooooooo retarded. They just had to pick two of the most extremely unrealistic characters from Star Wars. A human jedi I could have dealt with MAYBE, but this shit is just stupid.

The game at least looks beautiful. Still can't wait. =D

Mitsurugi can stop a bullet with a sword gtfo

I personally don't see why everyone's in love with Penny Arcade. I mean, I read it daily and all but I like CtrlAltDel a lot more. *Shrug*

Back to Soul Caliber though, yeah I probably coulda dealt with Obi Wan a little more easily than Vader and Yoda. It's true though that those two are the most recognizable from the series.

So, Soul Caliber 4 - Tobias - 01-14-2008

CAD is mildly funny if you cut out about 75% of the dialog that either overexplains the joke or has no business being there. Then again maybe Im being harsh because buckley is a giant douche, then again again...

But you know, to each his own.

Then again once more

I can't tell whether that actually makes it funnier or whether I just prefer it because I'm not subjected to it as long. Either way, I wish they were all like that.

So, Soul Caliber 4 - Janemba - 01-14-2008

I think reducing the text on the ones I saw actually made them less funny on a few of them. I saw a couple of them that were pretty funny, but this begs the question: if the comic sucks as bad as they say, why are they keeping all the art and just shortening the jokes? Doesn't make much sense to me.

Taki says GTFO with your webcomic talk. And to stop looking at her gorgeous, gorgeous boobs. I say fuck the latter, but the first one is pretty understandable.

I will address this when I understand what you are trying to say in the context of this conversation.

Taki is a whore. There is a point when boobs are too big.

My pic is a big red x. Fail D=

And Tien is dubble fail.

So, Soul Caliber 4 - Tobias - 01-15-2008

Him asking why they don't change the art when the argument is with the text is perplexing.

And you don't find giant melons on a five foot Japaneses ninja a little odd? There was a point when they were good but as the number after "Soul Caliber" goes up so does her bra size.

I do not like the guys. I do not like their comics. I do not like anything they have to say in their blogs.

It is not a rational hatred. I do not go out of my to broadcast it (usually) and I do not fault anyone for liking them. It is my opinion that they blow chode. Nothing more. Nothing less.

So, Soul Caliber 4 - Bojack - 01-15-2008

My new favorite phrase:

blow chode
