Yes, I'm sure there will be an option to switch it off. The previous games had it, so I'm assuming this one will be no different. I also noticed that there character voices were radically different from the past two games. I believe Namco hired a new cast of voice actors.

Good stuff. Although I think a few lines were delivered well from what I saw. If it begins to irritate me, I'll turn off the dub.

How... novel. They're really nothing more than flashy super attacks that can kill off an opponent in one hit if you decimate their Soul Gauge? Boooooooooring. Pressing all of the face buttons to activate them at the same time is stupid as well. You'd lose concentration, and the match, against a semi-skilled opponent.

I think they're definitely left there for showing off or putting some serious hurt onto someone's pride.

The critical finisher isn't as easy to pull off as some would like you to think. There's only a small window opening to pull off the move.

The reason I don't enjoy a lot of these is because of the nonexistent blood/disfigurement due to the teen rating. The "sexual themes" and nudity better pay off.

Edit: the voice acting is also terrifying. It's incredibly ****. Is there an option to hear the original Japanese voice actors?

I actually (unfortunately) didn't like a lot of the finishers. I liked Darth Vader's a lot though. And the guy who's throne lands on you, I don't know his name.

Algol, the game's boss.

Figures. The guy looks like a tank.

Well, gotta' be a badass if you're going to be a boss. Hehe...

Critical Finisher? What is this an attempt at fatalities? Cheapens the series if you ask me. We'll see if it's cool I suppose.

Fatalities are done after you beat the opponent to the pulp. This is different.

They should of added blood to the critical finisher. Now the game looks even lamer with those pointless finishing moves.

I got the same impression. The flashy anime style sparks and flashes might tickle the Japanese pink, but it does absolutely nothing for me. Give me visible clothing/body damage, blood, and beheadings. Realism ftw.

Wow,Yoda's finisher is a little too ruthless for a Jedi.
