Contest – What “soul” would you put in Soulcalibur IV

By Spencer . January 12, 2008 . 10:31am

Contest   What soul would you put in Soulcalibur IVAdding Yoda and Vader in Soulcalibur IV stirred up quite a bit of discussion. People seem to fall in one of three camps: love it, hate it, or perplexed by it trapped in a "WTF" moment. Katsutoshi Sasaki, the director of the Soulcalibur IV, would like to see Pac-Man. Unfortunately he doesn't have any weapons. I suggested Pac-Man could roll around the arena or throw the other ghosts. I don't think Sasaki is going to take my spur of the moment advice.

 

But, I digress. If Yoda and Vader are Soulcalibur IV anyone can be in it. So, which characters would you like to see? Post your creative thoughts in the comments and one random winner will win a Soulcalibur IV shirt that says "I got soul" .

 

Update: Great discussion everyone, but only one can have the Soulcalibur (t-shirt). Congrats to Ja!monster you won! Please send an e-mail to siliconera@gmail.com. I'll verify with the e-mail you used in your comments.

    Well… anybody from Final Fantasy would make sense
    [so much so that perhaps Namco should consider making a proper Final fantasy fighting game on the Soul calibur engine]
    Other good characters would be Kratos , Jill valentine / Barry burton and… Gordon freeman :D

    It’s a pretty simple choice for me. Since Lloyd (From Tales of Symphonia) will be in Soul Calibur Legends, why not put him in Soul Calibur IV too? He fits the look for a Soul Cal. character, and he would definitely be a better choice than Cervantes for a two-sword character. It would also be a breeze to create moves for him, since all of his moves from Tales of Symphonia could be incorporated into the game. It would be cool to see him use moves like Rising Phoenix as a Soul Charge move, and have Sword Rain: Beta as one of his throw moves. Apart from that, the creators of Soul Cal. IV wouldn’t even have to use very much creativity for him.

    With all of this, and the fact that he could definitely be one of the best people to put into Soul Cal. IV. Oh, and he’s really cool and pwns everyone else. Need I say more?

    Id have to say: Heero Yuy

    Heero Yuy is from Mobile Suit Gundam who pilots the Wing Gundam.

    Such possible weapons used could be:

    At long range his buster rifle- a powerful beam weapon which can only be fired 3 times before it must be recharged.

    And at close range its shoulder-mounted machine cannons, and beam saber stored in its shield.

    The Wing Gundam can also transform into a winged “bird mode”-superior to any conventional fighter plane, capable of surviving re-entry and flying in Earth’s atmosphere.

    I vote for Guybrush Threepwood from the Monkey Island games. He’s one of my all time favorite characters, and could use a variety of insult-stances in Soul Calibur. Can’t wait to see Tim Shcaefer’s next game Brutal Legend.

    Going off of Katsutoshi Sasaki’s idea of Pac-Man, we might as well suggest characters from the Namco realm since it would be a more viable option than, say, Dante or Nero from DMC. Dig Dug and Klonoa would seem interesting characters to put into the game; however, since the game is somewhat serious, it would make more sense to include characters from either the “Tales of” series or from Eternal Sonata. I think that Altair would be an interesting addition to the series and would definitely fit, but realistically, it’s probably likely that a Namco character would appear in this game.

    I think that Rick from the Splatterhouse series or even Valkyrie from the Legend of Valkyrie series would be great additions. Otherwise, I think that Namco Bandai should capitalize on a “cosplay” type situation like in King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 and have the Soulcalibur characters obtain costumes for characters from other Namco series.

    Cloud and Seph with their awesome weapons would make for a great battles, especially matching them up in a game with SC4 battle system. I already can’t wait to have a battle of the force in SC4 supposedly Yoda will be a downloadable extra for the PS3, Yoda Vs Vader with a great battle system = org*sm.
