A Tale of Souls and Swords, Eternally Goofy but Massively Entertaining
Posted at 2:53 PM Jul 23, 2008
The video quality isn't great, and it involves a guy named "miraged" introducing it for a full minute, first but if you wanted to see the ridiculous but ridiculously awesome Critical Finish movies of the characters of Soul Calibur IV before it comes out on Friday, here's your ticket. The highlights:
• Yoda throwing his lightsaber into his opponent's chest, it what seems to be a devastating if highly un-Jedi-like attack.
• Raphael the fencer being a vampire. The hell?
• Sophitia getting Zeus to help out with a lightning bolt.
• Cassandra beating her opponent by sitting on their face while hearts shoot from her crotch. Twice. Swear to god.
• Mitsurugi cutting someone so bad they catch on fire.
• Many, many Soul Calibur characters knocking their opponents into the air only to do something hideously and hilarious cruel to them while on their way back down, such as throwing a spear into them, and inevitably making them fly off screen.
• Rock making an elephant noise after he wins.
• Swordswoman Setsuka's hilariously large breasts beating Ivy's hilariously large breasts.
And speaking of, you might want to check out TR sister site Heartless Doll's great list of the 10 most ridiculous ladies' undergarments in videogames, because Soul Calibur is very naturally featured. Ladies, you can laugh, and gents, you can stare at pictures of videogame girls in their skivvies and help perpetuate the problem.

Zues?
Is that a misspelling or did you change the name for legal reasons?

Posted 07/23/2008 at 02:03:50 PMIt's a tremendously and horrifically nerdy thing to ask for but I hope they include the Japanese voices. I feel ridiculous enough fighting off Yoda with giant pair of breasts wielding a chain sword, they can at least spare me the embarrassment of bad English voice acting.
Posted 07/23/2008 at 02:28:49 PMActually, Yoda throwing his lightsaber into an opponents chest happens in the film - episode three when Yoda and Obi Wan return to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant - he does it to a clone trooper and then jumps onto the troopers knee before ripping the saber out.
