Seems Namco wants to make a run at Smash Bros. for most ridiculous crossovers.

Saw this in another topic, all the power to them. I thought Spawn was a cool addition why not do other stuff? If it pleases a few fans I say go for it. Plus they don't pop up much in the story modes. When I played weapon master on the Xbox SC 2 I fought Spawn maybe 3 times in the whole play through*That including going back and re-doing all the levels on hard*, and never in arcade mode, so it's not like you'll be forced to fight them or even have to use them all that often.

Yeah, this was posted in the Xbox thread.

Well excuuuuuuuse me princess!

Argh, I hate system specific characters. It only makes sense to buy one version of the game and you'll always feel like you're missing out on the character in the other version. I know that's how I felt when I bought the PS2 version of 2. I really would've liked to play Link but I greatly preferred the control style of PS2 so I bought that version. Even though I find it rather silly to have Yoda and Darth Vader as playable characters. They just don't fit in at all besides the fact that they use a type of sword. Though a light saber is much more than a sword and I don't think it makes sense game logic wise to have them use them. Technically, if you had any direct hits, it would be the end of whatever you hit whether it be their weapon or body.

I didn't notice the bit about systems exclusivity. That kinda bugs me. I think I'd rather have Vader.

EDIT: Nevermind I misread the article somehow that bites I don't like Yoda I'd rather have Vader to. I guess Sony needs an edge assuming it has this title in it's pocket since 3 was a PS2 exclusive.

Still clueless to why they never considered Dante for the series, I would say the Ninja Gaiden character as well but he's in DOA already.

Here is the trailer featuring Vader and Yoda:

Um wow, need I anymore proof that video games are trying to be movies now? That just about proves my theory right there.

That reminds me, wasn't Master Chief in a fighting game too?

I did a quick google on it and I guess there's a Spartan in DOA4 but it's not Master Chief.

Yeah, there was a female Spartan in DOA4. They also had a stage based off of the first level of Halo 2, which was actually really cool.

I think Master Chief is in the new Smash Bros isnt he?

No, he isn't. :lol:

I think these characters are really out of place but I don't care about SC enough for it to bother me. As for exclusivity, it wouldn't suprise me if you will be able to download the other character eventually.

Star Wars is the only thing I'm more of a nerd about than the turtles and while the concept is a bit ridiculous, the prospect of being Vader in Soul Caliber creates a little bit of nerd joy for me.

I think you mean Solid Snake

probably lol. The only thing I don't like about DV and Yoda in SC is the fact that the lightsabers don't cut thru the swords. But I guess that's just me being a nerd.
