If Katsutoshi Sasaki, the director of Soulcalibur IV, is to be believed, there will be no Yoda in the form of DLC in the PS3 version. There won't be a Vader DLC for the 360 version, for that matter.
The interview in MSXBox World contains mostly questions about the Xbox 360 version, but when asked "will there ever be a time when we can have Darth Vader and Yoda on the same console?" Sasaki gave a clear reply of "we don't have any plans for that." The interview is dated August 31st, 2008, but we are going to assume it is from July 31st.
This is contrary to earlier reports on the official Korean PlayStation site claiming Yoda will be available for download from the PSN. And videos like this certainly won't help douse those rumors.

If you watch the IGN Video Review, it's clear that Yoda is just a cheap b*stard to play against, so I don't even think I would want him. Bring on Kratos character creation FTW!

So it's the shiny, badass black edition versus the wrinkly, demented green one. Sounds about right.

No Yoda on PS3, no big deal
No Vadar on 360, big deal.
the Yoda character gives nothing to the 360 game, but Vadar is a far better balanced character.
If that's not enough to choose the PS3 version, how about the cr@ppy load times and frame rate problems of the 360 version?

no frame rate problems on the 360. load times will be non existent with this falls update, tho they are hardly noticeable to begin with. both controllers work fine, but arcade sticks are the way to go if you are serious.
oh, and i wouldn't listen to this guy, he's just denying the inevitable to save his job. soon the PS3 will also feel the power of this fully operational green broken turd. (really tho, both SW characters are pretty crappy).

Great marketing technique to try to get multiconsole owners to buy both versions. I'll just stick to my PS3 Vader ftw!

I do believe I've clarified myself adequately ^_^

Bastards. Oh well, Yoda is overpowered so it really isn't that big of a deal. Too bad for 360 fanboys that won't have Vader though

Strange, both characters are featured in the TV spots for this game. How will they explain that?

Hmmm too bad
Still I wonder what that extra character slot is for?
I think there must be SOMEBODY hidden on there. I still think Yoda will be unlocked with a Force Unleashed game save or something similar.

Yeah they wont be DLC, because they are both on the disc.

I don't believe it. In fact, I'm betting Yoda is already on the game disc.

I'm just wondering if the video was done somehow through character creation.

Shit, I don't want more Star Wars characters in SC4, I want less. I'd probably pay for DLC that removed them.
