Yoda won’t be overly cheap due to his size, says Soul Calibur IV director
Posted by: admin in GamingChatting with MTV Multiplayer, Soul Calibur IV’s director Katsutoshi Sasaki offered some insight as to whether or not the regular cast of characters would have a fighting chance against Yoda because of his size factor:
“The influences that Yoda will have in terms of gameplay because of his height, [is that] some of the upper attacks won’t hit him,” he stated. “However, we always try to make the gameplay fun, so we prepare positive demerits of choosing Yoda and also negative demerits on it. There’s always some give and take.”

If Yoda ends up being created in that vein, that’d be terrific. Otherwise, I’m afraid that everyone will want to select him for online battles and that would get annoying, fast.
Sasaki goes on to talk about “borrowing” innovative features in rival games:
