Comment:
As cool as Darth Vader is, there's also something a bit funny about him. Maybe the fact that he can't turn his neck around that far; or maybe it's that set of buttons on his chest? Does anyone claim to know what those buttons actually do?!? If I were in a fight against Darth Vader, the first thing I would do would be to push all of his silly 1970's style computer buttons... in some random order. I suppose it would mess him up or something right? Right?!? Should have hid those buttons Vader!!! LOL!

Now that that's out of the way... Darth Vader's first fighting game appearance was a disappointing one at that... But let's just leave that in the past. Thankfully, Bandai Namco were the ones to bring Darth Vader into the next gen of fighting games, and what better fighting game to feature this light-saber wielding freak of nature than Soul Calibur 4? Namco did an amazing job at creating Darth Vader's new fighting style, and he surely never looked quite so badass... Not even in the movies.
