SC4: Raphael's Vampire Fetish

Two in a row!! My God, this is the most often I've updated here, like... AT ALL.

So. More Soulcalibur IV stuffs. Now uh, I'm okay with Raphael. He was awesome in SC2, and I seem to recall his ultimate weapon back then being described by the Weapons Bio as *the* most powerful weapon. Not "rumored to be one of the most powerful weapons," or whatever it said, but THE most powerful weapon. But by the time SC3 came out, Raph started to look like a Transylvanian vampire. Now in SC4, he's practically cosplaying as Castlevania's Alucard! And don't even get me started on his Critical Finish, good lord. Vampires are cool and all, but I'm starting to get tired of the whole "Uber hawt vampire sex god" archetype (at least Bela Lugosi's role as Dracula never gets old). I want to see something more along the lines of Count Orlock from Nosferatu, 'cause DAMN if he wasn't creepy as hell.

And now for something completely different. Why is Amy apparently not a Poke'mon no more? I liked it when all she'd say was her own name. It was cute.
