Ooh, our comrades at XBF found these two uber-cool box arts for Soulcalibur IV. The cover art, minus the lightsabers, showed up on Gamestop's website. It appears that these pack shots play heavily on the Star Wars guest characters, Yoda and Darth Vader, creating a strong light-vs-dark theme. The box arts seen here could very well be just placeholder until the actual ones come out; however, they do look quite similar to Soulcalibur II's artwork that also featured guest characters.
While we've definitely got the cooler guest character in Darth Vader, the 360 version has series heartthrob, Siegfried on the cover. They've also got the Soul Calibur sword and the new female character Hilde, while we've got Soul Edge and everybody's favorite buxom babe Ivy. Now XBF asked their readers which one do they think has the better design, and we're doing the same! So which one do you like better?

Yoda? Hes an old short green midget with big ears and you would choose him over vader?

don't ever use "awesome" and "episode 2" in the same sentence again!

exactly, a dueling Yoda is unfortunately tied to the BAD star wars trilogy. not the good one with a dueling Vader. so VaderPS3 FTW!

Hard to choose. I like Yoda better, but for a fighter? Definitely Vader wins due to the size factor (Yoda is the Oddjob of the Star Wars universe, let's face it...)
Beyond that, the covers themselves...they're alright. I don't really like either of them THAT much. I guess they're effective in showing the unique characters but beyond that I liked II's cover better.
Doesn't really matter much since they're not definitely final yet though I guess...

Oddjob? I think you mean Nick Nack. Oddjob was the Japanese henchman from Goldfinger.
And are you saying that you wouldn't want to play a game in which you could fight as Hervé Villechaize?
Dwarves and midgets FTW!

Actually I meant exactly that. Oddjob did horrible things to Goldeneye for N64. We had to make "No Oddjob" rules to keep things fair. He was a much smaller target and was unfairly unbalanced.
So yes, I meant Oddjob, haha...

Although I'm off topic now, I'd have to agree, we had to have the same, "no oddjob," rules. It's completly unfair.

Now the question is do I believe what namco said in game informer and just get one version because they will have download of each character or do I get both versions of the game. Personally I think a vader and yoda fight would of been sweet.
