Darth Vader on Soul Calibur IV for the 360 (video)
Okay, so we kind of knew this could happen. It was rumored for a while leading up to the release of Soul Calibur IV that Darth Vader might be included down the line as a DLC character for the Xbox 360 version of the game, making possible the epic and nerdgasm inducing battle between Vader and Yoda.
And, oh yes, we have video. Behold.

It’s Vader, therefore it is awesome. We’re all for having a Vader/Yoda showdown in Soul Calibur IV, but we do have some reservations should this come to fruition. First, if you’re a PS3 owner, you’re feeling pretty shafted right about now. You were promised an exclusive character, Vader, which you now find is not, well, exclusive. The whole idea was, you couldn’t have both characters, but you could have one awesome one. Well now 360 owners could potentially end up with both and if you’re a PS3 owner you have to be wondering where the hell is Yoda on the PS3 version.
Secondly, we have to assume this can’t be just a standard unlockable on the 360, and this has to be downloadable content for the future. Which also leads one to ask, how much will Vader on the 360 cost you? Granted, this wasn’t something you were promised at all, but still, if you have to pay for having Yoda and Vader on one console, how much would you be willing to shell out?
UPDATE: 8.2.08:: Well it seems director Katsutoshi Sasaki is giving at least a soft denial of Star Wars DLC, but still not explaining the existence this video and other screenshots floating around.
UPDATE 8.2.08: We should also note that a Korean PS3 site is claiming Yoda will be available as DLC on the PSN. Ah, the plot thickens.
[...] also the unexplained issue of that screenshot which you see at the top of this article. And video featuring a dueling Yoda and Vader which recently leaked out. There’s always the possibility that this media could be forged, [...]
