soul calibur 4 - vader and yoda

[hailmagus]

i wanted to reply to another thread about this topic but it was locked, so i'm gonna be cool and start my own.
if you don't already know, two characters are going to appear on the next installment of "soul calibur 4" "darth vader" for the ps3 and "yoda" for the 360
i first saw this maybe a month, month and a half ago on "x play" i have to say i'm pretty psyched to see how they incorporate the two icons into the strory/world of "souls calibur"
but i am dissapointed that "darth vader" is on the ps3 version since i have a 360...
but on a lighter note, i want to see how the fighters are going to be able to hit "yoda" since he only reaches your danger zone at most.
i'm sure they're going to have him jump around like a monkey and do flips and stuff like he did in episode two. (that'll be kind of cool)

I don't understand this thing with fighting game sequels where we have to have lots of senseless, meaningless, gimmicky characters.

I never enjoyed it in Fighter's Megamix, it's stupid having 50+ characters in SF Alpha 3 and it's still silly having these gimmicky characters in Soul Calibur.

I'd rather have a fighting game with 10 very unique, complex characters than one with 30+ and half of them are just bog standard and next to useless, which is why I haven't bought a 'proper' fighter since Dead or Alive 2 and Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast (although I've played a fair few since).

The only one I can think of that gets away with it is the Smash Bros. series, but even then it feels like there's too many characters.

Sorry for the rant but I thought this being a forum which are almost exclusively created for mofos like me to express their alter-egos...
