Soul Calibur IV Unleashes Today!

darth-vader-soul-calibur-iv.jpg

I am just pleased down to the tips of my ruby slippers to announce that Soul Calibur IV hits store shelves today! It is absolutely my favorite of all fighting games (Rival Schools excepted). I attended last night's launch party here in San Francisco and got a chance to play some more and since I have been training on 2 and 3 this past weekend, I was a bit better than when I played at E3. The controls are butter smooth and the graphics are stunningly gorgeous.

One thing I did take note of was the character select screen. All of the characters had been unlocked save for one blank square at the very top between Yoda and the Secret Apprentice. A blank square right in between two Star Wars characters... whatever could it mean?!

Great. Now I gotta wait before I buy it. If all of my friends would just pony-up and buy PS3s, I wouldn't have to make these choices. Waiting for Unreal Tournament was bad enough, now this.

Oh well, guess I have to do something else with my vacation...

I already have the Japanese version and it's amazing... especially the custom character creation. Perhaps Gaygamer should run a photo comp for all of our creations: my list already looks like a mini pride parade!

Say what you will but what i witness so far, playing with the very small Yoda is freakin' cheap! Therefore i like him already!
Can't unlock the apprentice yet although i fought with him a couple of times, Darn it! He's so cool, i must have him!
Hum uhm... Fanboyism aside... It's a entertaining game so far, didn't try it online yet.
And can anyone tell me if it's possible to custom create a character with a light saber? I got a Idea for a Gay Sith lord.

Unfortunately the only customisation for the lightsabre characters is through their combat technique and special abilities - you can't change the model. Perhaps this is an unlockable, but my suspicion is that good old Mr Lucas doesn't want pics of Darth Vader wearing a loincloth appearing all over the internet!

And girls who like girls who like rumble packs!
