Vader
VS Yoda video leaked! LINK...
Confirmed?
(7-28-08)
Vader
& Yoda in both versions of SCIV!?
This rumor has been
floating around the net for a while now, and it's slowly turning into a confirmation.
Firstly, the character selection screen speaks louder than words, since there's
an awkward "empty block" next to Vader and Yoda respectively (on
apparent completed character selection screens)... CLICK
HERE to see a completed(?) selection screen.
Recently, GamersReports
got their
hands on some screenshots (and video, however, it has since been taken down) that
depict Vader and Yoda on the same console. Check out one of the leaked screens below...
So... What side
are you on?

Marvel president
hints on MvC3!?!?
At 2008's San
Diego Comic-con, Kevin Feige, President of Production at Marvel Studios was
asked if a new Marvel VS Capcom game was possible. His reply was, "Yes.
And maybe sooner than you think."
This doesn't officially confirm Marvel VS Capcom 3 by any means, but it finally
gives us loyal MvC2 fans some realistic hope. In
fact, if Capcom used the Tatsunoko VS
Capcom graphics and gameplay engine; they could indeed push out a new Marvel
VS Capcom title rather easily... And if Tatsunoko VS Capcom never comes
out in the US (due to licensing issues), perhaps we can settle for Marvel VS
Capcom 3 instead. It would surely be an instant hit... But of course it's up to
Capcom and Marvel to make it happen!
Yes, this picture
is like 6 years old... And fake.

Already confirmed is a download called "Customize Parts 01" which

from Soul Calibur II as well as a bit
from Soul Calibur III's Create-a-Soul

SCIV
breaks street date...
Several lucky
individuals have got their hands on SCIV before the official release, as a
few retailers actually started selling Soul Calibur IV early (11 days
early that is). I bet someone's getting a slap on the wrist... Alas,
quite a few videos of SCIV have popped up on Youtube...
Be sure to check em' out, but beware

.... Soul
Calibur 4... The most beautiful fighting game ever?
(7-14-08) Revenant confirmed for SCIV? The wave sword user from Soul Calibur 3,
Revenant,
appears to be a bonus character for SCIV; and is likely not
the only bonus character!
One of my sources claimed Revenant was the new "all-weapons user" for
SCIV, but this was just a "speculation" from the screenshot
below, as Revenant appears to be using Cervantes's weapon style... Nothing is
"confirmed" as of yet. *Note* The
screenshots below are from the French language version of SCIV, hence the name
Dark Vador...
..... Jack
Skellington's great great grandfather perhaps?

SCIV gameplay video... Featuring the
worst Soul Calibur players you've ever seen... CLICK HERE.
(7-9-08) New
SCIV character revealed!? Another one? Yup. "Kamikirimusi" is a new
female bonus character designed by Mai HIME artist, Hirokazu Hisayuki. Given
her Japanese garb, her horns, and the spiked club she carries it is thought
that she is an "Oni." In Japanese folklore, Oni are demons that
could be best approximated to ogres or trolls in Western folklore (Oni are
typically male, large, and ugly). Oni also traditionally wear tiger-striped
loincloths, which Kamikirimusi seems to forgo in favor of more civilized
attire.
Nice...
Feet...
(7-7-08) NewTvC
