soul calibur YES!...wait what?

i have never ever been a fan of fighting games...ok mortal combat, but only because of the cool fatalities and what not you could perform at the end of your match (i know that sounds a bit childish) but normal fighting games without all the blood and gore just have never ever grabbed my attention....

but for some reason after hearing about soul calibur IV, seeing some screens, and checking out the release date i am beyond pumped for the release of this game...i played the dreamcast one for a bit and got bored but other than that i've never really played a soul calibur game and have no idea what is so appealing about this game to me

...anyone else have this strange reaction?...and to all you soul calibur fans feed my anticipation and tell me how amazing the game is because i feel like i've been missing out

Fighting games have very little lasting appeal for me, but this one is interesting due mainly to Darth Vader(PS3) and Yoda(Xbox 360) being playable characters.Elann2008

I wonder if vader will become DLC for the xbox 360 vice versa for Yoda on the ps3.

Namco said that it was possible and i wouldn't be surprised if they did release them as DLC

ya i'm definitely going to check it out...i'll have my ps3 by then as well so its going to be a tough call to see if i want to go with yoda or vader....i feel like the ps3 dpad might be a little easier to play with so i might lean towards that waylethalpuma

Because of the 3d nature of the game I always found it easier to use the analog sticks... is that totally lame?! I think it's because it's more of combo stringing style of fighter as opposed to a pull of a special move with the dpad fighter... I never was really that good though... epiphany? perhaps.
