The Soul Calibur Announcer Appreciation Thread

[Soundwave]

The announcer always made you feel like you were a part of something important.

"Nightmare was severely wounded, but the soul still burns."

And the intros to the stages were always on some epic, world altering motif. Of course, when you're chasing after two ultra powerful weapons, it usually is world shattering.

I think my favorite quote from the announcer in SC V comes in Maxi's stage:

"Keep hope close, for it may not be there at the end of your journey."

Soul Calibur > Tekken

 

[Scottie Drippin]

A hero desires a sword...AND A SWORD DESIRES TRUTH!

Transcending history and the world, a tale of swords and souls, eternally retold!

The almighty ones have granted you a sword to cut your own path!

That's that got to body a nikka inspiration. SC always does a good job of getting you into the universe.

Soul Calibur > Tekken

No.

The announcer in SC 5 sounds wild though....especially when he says "Excellent!"

Soul Calibur > Tekken

I understand nikkas got their preferences and all but

Is Yoda worth copping in Soul Calibur 4?

I'm kind of a Star Wars nerd and I love playing with Vader

I feel like he kind of sucks. I felt like Xbots got the short end of the stick with that one...gave Sony Vader...

Also, you'll only be supporting this new industry practice of taking things out of the game to sell it to consumers twice. Yoda and Vader are both on the disc already, you'll be buying an unlock key. I personally don't support that nonsense, but to each his own.

Not worth the cop, especially seeing as that SC5 is out.

And SC is a great fighting franchise...nothing wrong with preferring it to Tekken. They play differently anyways, and one is weapons while the other is fist.

Oh and, the best part of the franchise is the MUSIC. shyt is so damn epic.

I rented Sc5 I put it in for 10 minutes

Well, if you're just that big of a Star Wars fan than sure....cop Yoda. He's a novelty character but if you're not even interested in the franchise like that I doubt you really care about fighting styles and such.

I prefer to have the game announcer to be hype. SC is all classical and shyt.
