Sasaki: Ring outs evolve in SoulCalibur IV
We were all in for quite a shock when it was revealed that Darth Vader would be entering the tournament in SoulCalibur IV exclusively on the PS3. Now that the shock has worn away a little and we've had a chance to catch our breath, here comes a nice interview with the game's director Katsutoshi Sasaki, who talks about a myriad of topics ranging from the evolution of the game's ring outs to why the team included Star Wars' most popular character.
To be perfectly honest, we were sold on the game after Ivy was *ahem* revealed, but with the newest addition and everything Sasaki said, we think we're starting to feel like those Star Wars guys who wait in line weeks to watch a new episode.

I guess any game like that could use more characters.
Now I have a reason to get a Wii: DARTH VADER IS GONNA BE IN BRAWL jk

Ridiculously huge now. It's almost reached beyond the bounds of attractive and into the realm of "obscene"
almost...

No Yoda on PS3???
That bites. I was looking forward to Yoda more than Vader.
Do you think he will be available later as a download?

I'm glad we got Vader.
Makes up for not having spawn last time.
I download to unlock yoda is almost a certain thing. Its just a matter of when.

Gah, ringouts. One of the few things I hated about SC. Sounds like maybe they're evolving to be a little more difficult to pull off (he mentions in the video having to break through a wall first as an example).
Really looking forward to seeing it in HD. I was a little disappointed that both Yoda and Vader won't be on the same platform... can you even conceive of how cool it would be to see them battling? Come on!
