    Ok, dude, what the hell.

    I know this isn't your fault, but I post from work and all gaming sites are blocked for me. Beyond that you are breaking the golden rule- link, snippet, thoughts.

    So from what I can tell, there will be exclusive characters. Can't see what they are, but I find the idea exciting. They aren't transplants from other series again are they?

    That's exactly why I didn't comment.

    I ordinarily would, but words spoil the pure "WTF?!" moment of seeing the images for the first time without knowing what is in them.

    SC continues the trend of platform-specific, stupid tie-in characters.

    I don't think they are meant to be proper additions to the Soul Calibur storyline. Just fun bonus characters that you can play with.

    Sort of like how they had Link from the Zelda games in Soul Calibur II.

    He actually matched up pretty well against the other fighters.

    It's just dumb to have platform-specific characters IMO.

    If I was any type of Soul Caliber fan, I'd be a little pissed. It's like if Street Fighter started adding Star Wars characters. I'd be wondering, is this game so lame that it can't stand on it's own merits, but has to import other video game characters for some publicity?

    Well it's not new to the series so... if you were an SC fan you'd have to have gotten over it by now.

    But yeah its lame.

    Wouldn't their weapons, you know, cut their opponents weapons (and limbs) into itty-bitty pieces if they tried to block them or got hit?
