The article claims that player numbers sit at about 200M, up from the last official player count of 125M in June and “almost equal to the population of Brazil”.

SoulCalibur VI’s Maxi melts life bars in this Double Dragon-themed combo video
Maxi isn’t one of the more well-represented characters in the zoning-heavy meta of SoulCalibur VI right now. That’s probably a shame because, as LegendaryWolf Shirou shows off for roughly 8 minutes, this character has a variety of high-damage, flashy combos.
Whether at the wall, off a guard crush, or just from a correct loop guess, Maxi can turn some surprising situations into round-stealers. He’s also one of the very few characters in the game that can land multiple CE’s in one combo, thanks to his ability to modify the initial hit into a juggle state.
