The latest
Famitsu, according to
translations from intrepid Cheap Ass Gamer forum goers, includes some brand new information on the upcoming Namco Bandai fighter
Soul Calibur IV. Of the newly revealed details, the most intriguing is that the game is set to include some kind of "character swapping" which immediately evokes the image of tag team battles seen in many other fighting games of years past. The strange part is that the swapping elements are only mentioned in regards to the single-player game. It's hard to imagine implementing a tag feature without incorporating it into multiplayer, but we'll just have to wait and see.
The article also includes details on the game's character creation mode as well as a few more technical aspects of the fighting itself. Hit the Source link to check it out.

Mmm can't wait to have a tag team of Yoda and the new guy from the new Star Wars game. Because when I think Soul Calibur, I think Star Wars. In fact they should just take out all the stodgy old SC characters and replace them all with loveable characters from the Star Wars universe.

a tag team of Darth Vader and his apprentice actually makes more sense btw. :D

Tag Team back again. Check and direct, and let's begin.

Any blood or dismembering? Any wounding yet?
no?
Then screw it. Soul Calibur can bunch as many characters on screen at once, and have Mr. Spock fight Yoda for all I care-- It's still unrealistic and childish to have bladed weapons with no damage being done.
Is Namco making this, or is it Nintendo?
