No, this is not a clever ruse or some prank of sorts. Here is the link to the article itself, sporting Screenshots and hi-def close-ups.
Personally, I'm a fan of both Soul Calibur and a Star Wars Nerd, so I'm basically freaking out right now.
This is the FIRST time, INAVERYVERYLONGTIME, that Star Wars Characters have been in a fighting game. The first, I think, was on the PS1.
DISCUSS, and try not to Nerd-Gasm all over it. DDD: |
That looks shoped. |

Look at the site, there are more screenshots, including hi-def model close-ups. |

You could say the same exact thing for Soul Calibur II when they added Link, Spawn, and that other guy. Namco's been a damn sell-out forever now, and you'll just have to get used to it and enjoy it.
Besides, if you don't like the characters, then don't play as them. |
Flavio DID say the same thing for Soul Calibur II. T_T
Just the fact that they're there bothers Flavio. They don't fit in. At all. |

Well, how WOULD anyone survive a single blow from a lightsaber beats me (and i don't want to know). Now here are two reasons I don't want this game. No wait, make it three.
1) Don't got a nex't gen console
2) Underpwerdness!!! Vader don't deserve this this in his name
2.5) I won't ever get enough money.
3) It's broken the original law of video gaming, as whats-his-face said earleir (I have a bad memory, so there you go) |

I can't believe you people want some of the most freakin stupid characters to appear in Brawl, but as soon as a game that doesn't have Super Smash in the title starts getting some the *crag* world has come to an end and it sucks regardless of how good it will actually be. |

if Brawl did this I would be equally pissed off
I'm in complete agreement with Flavio on this one. Star Wars is cool, but it just doesn't belong in SC
EDIT: actually, I'd be more pissed off because its Brawl |

No one was against Snake. It's not like he exactly fits in with Mario and gang. |

I actually liked how different Snake was
but of course Snake, Link, and Heihachi are different cases. Sure they don't fit in, but at least they are actual video game charecters
having star wars charecters in the game is just too wierd, I would say that Namco finally crossed the line, but they already did that when they added Spawn (were the options on Xbox at the time really THAT limited?) |

What about Shonen Jump's own Swordsmen, Roronoa Zolo and Kenshin? They'd fit in pretty well! |

Atleast the SC2 console exclusives had a fitting backstory as to why they want the Soul Edge |
