Soul Calibur IV - Opening [Darth Vader]

[djkhaled55]

the swords are welded by magic

[madkiller696]

vader lightsaber should cut that guys sword to pieces

[CommanderMattShepard]

1:21 :)

[SeBBaSs841]

no, i will not relax. (i didn't play the game), but I thinkk they should have a more detailed opening on how Vader even gets there and why his lightsaber can't cut through shit. The fact that Mitsurugi is able to stand a chance in the opening scene, doesn't make sense. Then again, I didn't play the game so they probably explain it.

[145846]

Nightmare Gots This XD

[MrSvingy]

this prooves everything that every sc game is better than every tekkengame combined

thumbs up i you agree

[106yanksfan]

@charles34play because their weapons are magic.

[charles34play]

WHY ISNT THE SWORD CUTTIN IN HALF !"!!! !!!1 DARK VADER SHOULD CUT IT WITH HIS LITSABRE??????????????

[rols92]

@charles34play ZOMG!!!!1!!! TEH GAME IS NOT REL ISTICK

[ShinobiLiger]

@rols92 Duh this game isn't realistic, they got MAGIC SWORDS for God sake!

In Star Wars if you cut something with a Lightsaber it typically is cut in half just by being touched.

[Pooternackle5]

@ShinobiLiger Darth Vader actually almost got killed by some douche nozzel with a magic anti-lightsaber sword in the books

[loganatencio]

@rols92 i think light saber are not real either LOL

[neowilliams]

@charles34play

Little did they know that Mistsurigi's(SP) sword was made out of Cortosis

[TheDWJProductions]

@charles34play Maybe it's Samurai Jack's blade.

[DarthRellek55]

no one has a chance against vader

[kdukedude]

Pshh Light sabers cut through anything, Watch the trilogy and u wont deny me

[killerkoliseo]

@kdukedude Quoting Zorc620: "Actually, a "True Star Wars fan" might be aware of the fact that a lightsaber can't in fact cut through anything. For example, swords made of mandalorian iron and vibroblades with a cortosis weave cannot be cut by lightsabers. Swords made entirely of cortosis, in fact, cut through lightsaber blades. Whatever Vader's foe's sword is made of is clearly lightsaber proof. Or magic."

[kdukedude]

@killerkoliseo Not sure mitsurugi has that kind of technology I knew about the mandalorian weave but the rest I wasnt sure >.> Thanks anyway ^^

[checkinsniper]

Darth Vader is toying with his opponents, he could just simply force push them into a spike or choke them, but he decided to have fun and use his light saber, hehehe.

[Randomspider123]

@checkinsniper The villians like to make their opponents think they have a chance against them, at the end two things may happen: 1. The villian gets bored and kills his opponent. 2. His opponent defeats him and he realises it was a bad move.

[Force44]

Hahaha I like how she says 'Relax, its a game' because she KNEW people would be like "Wtf how come his katana isn't sliced in half?"

It's called balance, idiots, game mechanics have to be somewhat FAIR here. If Vader could destroy everyone's weapons, what fun would that be?

[ASIRA89]

wtf the Lightsaber would just cut through the katana! 

[9ocarinaman]

@ASIRA89 I think Vader's lightsaber is weaker in this world

[TheDiceyProduction]

@ASIRA89 because its made out of adamantium

[ednert121]

@ASIRA89 most of these characters weapons have super natural elements

[Firestar1XXX]

1:51 WHOMVE *SLICE*

...Damn it! You broke my sword asshole!

[HMK9CAPN]

I go with the arguement, that everyone's weapon is kinda enchanted, like they put their soul into thier weapon so they can stand up to lightsabers, and Vader, Yoda, and Starkiller DID come here for the Soul swords......so yea

[matixtig]

when u said relax its a game but i didnot say a thing

[Conorh27]

BLASPHEMY!

[Firestar1XXX]

@Conorh27 THIS IS MADNESS

[waterboyneb]

@Firestar1XXX This is Sparta!!!!

[CThompson17]

I don't actually care about the sword vs saber thing, my friend Zach was pretty uppity about it. However, I thought it was cool that they had him in there. This is a great game. I need to get it back!

[darksly22]

VADER....set your saber to STUN MODE!! MUAHAHAA

[Trr7productions]

thats not bull shit like vaders sword wouldnt chop right threw that punes sword and cut him in half

[MichaelOretta7784]

LOL I watched this video before reading comments and just like everyone else and their moms I was like "WTF?" and then the annotation "Relax its a game" at the perfect timing!! I know they can't make lightsabers too powerful for this game to be fair to the other characters. Its just funny with everyones reactions.

[ZillaMech]

@MichaelOretta7784 i know right?

[deviroz]

man that sword as to be of some serius shit. The lightsaber can even cut diamond like butter

[Keoni3535]

riboblade

[Bobcatx2]

vibro sword lets leave it at that!

[HiroIndo16]

the sword is made of Holly tree, the strongest tree known to universe.

that should clear things up. :3

[sergeantassassin]

Man that must be one special sword, lol.

[britboyal]

lol if they cut through material then SC4 would just be Vader and Yoda killing everyone by chopping them into little pieces

[OverlordLS]

There are materials similar to real-life sword metals in the Star Wars universe that can parry a lightsaber.

Don't kid yourselves.

[GuardianofRoin]

That battle between Mitsurugi and Vader would be soo freakin epic

[Jonkovichejag]

I'd love to see The Lich King as a playable char in the next Soul Calibur, frostmourne would be sooo epic

[NintendoFreak29]

Wouldn't Mitsurugi's sword get sliced in half by Darth Vader's lightsaber?

[BoomRandom]

@NintendoFreak29 nope. Vader's saber is stuck on "stun". :D

[THEZ0AP]

hmmmm that katana must be madorian iron fordge on torguta. i mean that is the only thing a light saber can't cut threw but it has to be fordge hotter than the three star combined

[DragonJedi0]

1:57 lol

Hey...everyone...Solution to why lightsabers don't cut through everyone's blades/armor:

Cortosis. The only material in the entire universe lightsabers can't cut through.

[adamslegodesigns]

i'm not gonna relax that retarded

[CtrlAltDaLEET]

games should make sense, even in their own game world

something like lightsabres KNOWN for cutting through virtually everything being used to deflect wooden spears and whatnot is retarded

the masses really do eat up whatever they've been thrown at

[kittypetwarrior163]

@CtrlAltDaLEET i hate to burst bubbles here (metaphore) but each game universe is quite different from each and everyone of the others...in Soul Caliber's universe, Lightsabers may not function correctly because of a partical in the air or something around those lines. And if the Game Designers made this realistic, vader would take over the planet with a twitch of his finger.

Or Cortosis is a natural metal in Soul Caliber, and its used to create weapons and armor >_> just sayin.

no trolling!

[CtrlAltDaLEET]

@kittypetwarrior163

you see, the reason why it is soo controversial is because the game doesnt explain anything about "particles in the air"

[WatchdogDisciple]

nice ass

[TRE1275]

The end boss is a total fag. This game quit being cool with Soul Calibur. All that followed have sucked ass.

[Lexiiyooo]

A LIGHT SABER SLISIS A SORD

[Lexiiyooo]

WHO WON THE GAME?

[Tyrik73]

@Lexiiyooo SIEGEFRIED WON!Proof of this is the Scbd intro which happens after Sc4 you see Him slicnig nightmare exactly like his Sc4 ending.

[Yoder23m]

i was about to say wouldent a lightsaber like go right threw a sword

[THEleachBlade]

@Yoder23m there light sabers batteries are near dead

[Dante246100]

if youve played the second or third game then tou would know that both soul caliber and soul edge look compleetly different and please excuse my spelling

[mrsupermega]

wait

its a game?!

[8theicon]

hmmm if im not mistaken a lightsaber would cut through that sword and

if you get hit with it you die or the place he slashes at gets cut off thats

just starwars logic

[DarkyFloyd]

@8theicon there are swords that dont break with lightsaber slashes,like Vibroswords (in knights of the old republic) they are made of some fiber or whatever and resists its slashes

[8theicon]

@DarkyFloyd oh ok thanks dude

[TRE1275]

@DarkyFloyd whatever, nerd

[DarkyFloyd]

@TRE1275 fuck off fag

[jaspertheking4life]

ok who had the funny ass idea to combine star wars and lord of the rings?

[YellowSaints]

i just crapped in my star wars under-pants! ^^

thumbs up if you did so 2 xD

[jaspertheking4life]

@YellowSaints I totaly did :D

[AzulFlameXII]

So what was Namcos excuse for why lightsabres could not just cut trough everyone elses weapons?

[mysterykill]

that dudes sword would be cut in half the moment it hit darth vaders lightsaber

[vasrum2]

namco must make tekken x soul calibur x street fighter

and this will be TBGE(the best game ever)

[Seioka]

He might have had a Vibroblade ;o?

[MrMethjunkie]

This mans sword must be made out of Jesus or somin.. tought lifesabres were crazy as hell, but yo naww this samarai jus be chillen nd shit, takin on Darth Vader like it was no probs.

[TurboTsunam1]

Does anyone else feel that the soul calibur characters are kind of..... uninteresting.

[Crossbones6732]

Vader still just needs to use one hand for all his fights. 

[Jarrecko]

The next soul caliber really needs the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as guest characters, I mean it's no more ridiculous than having star wars characters or Spawn in the games.

[permatroll]

@Jarrecko COWABUNGA MAN!!!!

Yes, I agree. Star Wars is fucking bull shit, especially in SC4.

[gawee08]

@permatroll shut up you! star wars is the best!

[TukaihaHithlec]

@gawee08 pssst

Look at his name. He's just trying to bug people.

[belias360]

Well, I guess Mitsurugi found the sword he needed to beat Tanegashima...

Any sword that can block a lightsaber seems like a gangster-ass sword to me LOL

[blacklight324337]

Notice how Darth Vader is not even trying against this guy, he is using one hand! Darth Vader owns!

[Mygirlfriendisfat]

@blacklight324337 That's how Vader always fights. Quicker and less restricting body movements. Either way, he is a total badass.

[blacklight324337]

@Mygirlfriendisfat I know =) just saying...

[MaximusKoximus]

why they even put star wars to SC ? thats stupid ....

[Nejitard2]

@MaximusKoximus They were guest characters that Namco decided to put in because the release date of "The Force Unleashed" was close to that of SCIV. I believe that's what I read. Hey, they had guest characters like that in SCII, Soul Calibur Legends, and now Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny.

[Messiahs]

@MaximusKoximus

its for fun kid

[Myuutsuu85]

To anyone who questiones, why the Lightsaber don't cut through the blade, i say just one word: Cortosis

[Sargedaheavy]

@Myuutsuu85

true, but thats a metal found somewhere in the Star Wars universe. It is extremely unlikely for any one of these fighters to use it, let alone all of them.

[Myuutsuu85]

@Sargedaheavy

unlikely, yes. But not entirely impossible ^^. But you are right: the chances that every fighter here use a Cortosis-based weapon is allmost zero.

[racacoon]

@Myuutsuu85 If it was Cortosis, would int it short Darth Vader light saber out for a while (I think. I read it somewhere)

[Myuutsuu85]

@racacoon It's true, Cortosis has ths effect. But not allways it seems. I guess it's a matter of the form of processing, as there are things mentioned such as cortosis alloy, purified cortosis, and cortosis weave. But i have no clue, what exactly this means :p

[racacoon]

@Myuutsuu85 np

[ThePonta88]

do you wrote up ''relax it's a game'' 'cause everyone quest you why the lightsaber don't cut the oter sword??....... but, why!!!

[theo1170]

Darth Vader and Nightmare being partners....maybe the galaxy is to small to hide in...

[DEATHGUNDAM3]

@theo1170 heh nightmare partner?? never he need no partner he is a lone wolf

[theo1170]

@DEATHGUNDAM3 yeah, that is true, but there is always that one girl with a name I can't remember that served Nightmare.

[greenturdface]

vaders saber should go right through the katana

[extracredit100]

i never understood the story to this game... whatever... darth vader would own everyone ! gotta get this game

[LinkinWarrior92]

Has anyone ever stopped to think that Star Wars has been featured in a Japanese anime game for the first time in history? I mean this for both Star Wars and anime fans who have watched this and thought, aside from the "lightsaber controversy" shown here, how Star Wars characters now meet anime fictional characters like who u see in Final Fantasy for instance

[yozman55]

I can't relax the duel is just so cool. Go Nightmare!

[blhsoccer]

it might be a vibroblade... read up before ya'll make stupid comments. lightsabers don't cut through everything IE vaders glove is made to resist them.

[extracredit100]

@blhsoccer did u watch the later episodes of star wars.... luke cut vaders hand off at the glove....

[blhsoccer]

@extracredit100 His right glove is a mandalorian crushguant fitted around one of Lork Kaan's Sith amulets, making it indestructable. Luke cuts above the Gauntlet. His glove survives the Death star explosion and is passed on to the human Trioculus how used it as The new emperor.

[Thereaper391]

thats so stupid how a lightsaber wont go through the sword



[jioplip]

That guy must have some sword to block a lightsaber, there isn't a whole lot that they won't cut through.

[razielospl]

1:49 "samanosuke" have hard sword ^^ he deflect Lightsaber ^^

[megaawsomeaustin]

1:57 as chuggaconroy will say ps3 logic

[ozzfan09]

this game is pretty fun i like it alot me and my frend play all the time XD

[cooperkid1998]

shouldn't the light saber slice the sword

[zeppelinmalti]

doesn't a light saber cut through metal?

[zeppt00]

the swords look retarded

[psycho705]

a long time ago in a country, a few thousand miles away... SOUL WARS!!!!

[gato23]

of for fuck's sake. the reason the lightsabers can't cut through everybody else's weapons is because of GAMEPLAY BALANCE.

if the developers made the light sabers to be like in the starwars media then there WONT BE A FUCKING GAME!!!

the gameplay would suck and no one will enjoy it if they made the lightsabers like they should.

its comon sense people! stop arguing about it and stop some BS theory as to why the hell not.

[zeppt00]

@gato23 vibroblades

[GazzTheFunkadelic]

@gato23 Aaaand....who cares?

[Gtfoguy1]

@gato23 Technically Lightsabers can't cut through normal Swords explain Vibroswords. xD So relax guys.

[DesignChaos]

@gato23 some people like having a believable reason for why things are the way they are, you don't need to bitch at them for that.

[TheFriendlyFatMan]

@gato23 Fuck you.

[Superunknown190]

@gato23 I would just say that they cant cut through magical blades. Even in Kotor it was said that even Viroblades can block a lightsaber.

[shadow4921]

@gato23 of course, since this is the soul calibur universe, you could just say everyone here has magic weapons. no one knows how magic stacks up against the force. but yeah, its a game, and people need enjoy the fact that they have Darth "Motherfucking" Vader in their game to begin with

[RickAstley25]

@gato23 in fact the Cortosis (a star wars material) it's too similiar to the titanium in the human life, so if the sword its made with titanium it's pretty sure that in can handle a lightsaber

[RocknLauncher017]

@gato23 or maybe all the characters, are so strong with the force that theyre weapons can't be penetrated by lightsabers :D

[JawsOnYou67]

Darth Vaders a super villan on life support that kicks everyones ass

[TukaihaHithlec]

@JawsOnYou67 Not Galen. He kinda screwed himself over on that one XD

[SkylerFoster1]

@JawsOnYou67 

[OTEPkmp]

@JawsOnYou67 Dont forget Munra in Thunder cats XD

[gibson953]

Relax guys.. If Vaders lightsaber could cut through everybodies weapon it would defeat the purpose and Vader would never lose untill someone with another lightsaber came to beat him..

[247ko]

na cause mitsurugi bad ass like that hes never lost a battle in his life

[Altair4359]

nothing can withstan the power of the dark side

[soldier5310]

imo it doesnt really matter because vader was proably the worst sith ever next to sidious(palpatine)

[SiegeTF]

@soldier5310 In a comic that takes place between episodes 3 & 4 Palpatine had Maul cloned and pit him against Vader. Vader won by impaling himself, and Maul. Vader survived thanks to his cybernetics, and because his hatred for himself was greater than Maul's hatred for him, giving him a stronger connection to the Dark Side (and thus able to defend himself against the much more agile Maul).

[SSJ4Marth]

i think they should have had someone other than Yoda like Obi-Wan because he would fit into the story more and Yoda is kinda cheap

[14xboxman]

it should have been yoda and darth vader not him

[riverlimzhichuan]

so fake, lightsaber can cut through anything but not katana sword??!! what a joke.

[APOSMLK]

@riverlimzhichuan  of course lightsabers cant cut through everything do a bit of a research dude....

[earthman202]

This games story really makes no fucking sense

[MJNSEIFER]

@earthman202 It does if you play the other games.

[benitofinito]

@earthman202 who cares

[ChicoEdge]

@earthman202 It doesn't need to.

[theo1170]

@earthman202 except III that game makes alot of sense

[D3w10n]

@earthman202 Yes, but you have to admit it... Game intro looks really REALLY cool :D

[Crossbones6732]

@earthman202 Thats why they give you a flow chart. Sad, isn't it?

[devlynandlink]

it makes sence to me...

[TRNSFRMRSMAL107]

darth vader's fighting with one hand....

[Maphisto86]

"Relax it's a game"

And that is just an awesome combination.

[Justas923]

Darth Vader should have used the Death Star. Then there wouldnt be any tournament, any Earth left :)

[Rancor856]

it seems like having the apprentice vader and yoda in this game is massive over kill

[beerkenstein]

what's this sht??????

Vader in this manga game? Idiotism

[Vraya]

Ivy vs. Hilde=Slut vs. Dyke

[kauyun]

All the Star Wars fans whining about how the lightsaber should melt the sword, are amusing me. Is a game supposed to be logical? Is a demon in form of a sword possesing human body's logical?

If you do not like ilogical things, then Soul Calibur was the wrong game for you whiners and haters from the start... that aside Star Wars itself ain't logical either. as the name says, a lightsaber is LIGHT. Light is endless, so a lightsaber wouldn't stop after just 3,5 foot.

[MrHuntingHawk]

no i will not relax. That does not make sense and you know it

[nikoloi123]

LETS DROP ALL LOGIC AND SEE HOW FUCKING AWESOME THIS IS SHALL WE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cheese0Burger]

cmon darth vader couldve kicked his ass easily..and how the fuck could he block a lightsaber?

[SaninsFan1]

I have an xbox 360 also this game so the only star wars characters i got are yoda and apprentice, and it sucks that darth vador wasn't in yoda's place. I like yoda and all, but he's kinda too easy to control :\. I use the apprentice and he's hard to control in combos and shit, so i wanted to try out darth vador, but im sure i can get him :D and i wanna see all the special endings too o3o

[TheLydianRocks]

all the people whining about the lightsaber not melting the sword -

on the world soul caliber is set, cortosis just happens to be a mineral thats abundant there, all weapons no matter what metal is used will contain cortosis which as you all know can either turn a lightsaber off OR simply halt the blade from melting througjh depending on the type of cortosis.

so in other words, you can all sleep now...

[darkyodd]

@TheLydianRocks what the fuck are you talking about

[bastardperson666]

DARTH VADER!!! LOL!!..why is he here? XD

[Bloodpelt]

@bastardperson666 haha, it was a special promo thing. Xbox got yoda, PS3 got vader. they both have special endings too.

[bastardperson666]

@Bloodpelt aaah now i know.hehehe.. ty XD but i'm still laughing because of Darth Vader..nyahahaha...

[garranto]

there could be a reason why his lightsaber didn't cut through the sword or something but then again if it could the game would be to easy huh

[FunkunlimitedX]

Whoa..Darth Vader vs samurai. Well, they both look like samurai anyway!

[techrick1210]

Darth would beat them with a food tray from the canteen. for he is Darth Vader, Lord Vader, check out the lego darth vader video on youtube, its very funny

[HooraE19]

Darth vader would kick his ass!

[yarow122]

1:15 So, he's free?

[6l9mysterio]

LMAO I LOVE THE "RELAX ITS A GAME PART"

[darthmadeus]

the swords have cortosis weave on them so they can deflect lightsabers. duh

[SD6552]

nur weil george lucas ein geldgeiler wichser is! star wars is geil!

[Shurikendude21]

I wish I had this game but I habe no PS3 XD

[krauser7890]

wtf ??

[stuna210]

i no people who actually like star warz...itz scary

[yarow122]

The movies suck, but the comics and animated series are freaking awesome. Honestly.

[stuna210]

I'm not much for comics haha but i guess if th e animated series are good then... -maybe- i could give it a try

[hihosh1]

I think the actual reason would be: "different universe," in this universe perhaps steel is strong enough. And it's obvious they are on Earth.

[DaftDrunk]

if Soul Edge and Soul Calibur (the swords) are magical or mistical o whatever, and so the knives of Taki, this cuality could explain it, just wondering
