SoulCalibur VI‘s new soul charge mechanic has been the source of what is easily some of the most powerful looking and consistent combos we’ve seen in the SC universe. Married with cast wide flexibility and its no surprise that it forms a large part of the tech that’s coming out for the game — let’s jump in and see what the community has developed today!
Before you can do any fancy combos in SC, you need to know about proper movement. A veteran player like Hayate EIN is the perfect person to learn movement fundamentals from!
Siegfried’s wall combos not only hurt, but he seems to have an abundance of high damage options when he’s the one that’s cornered. Keep in mind your spacing!
You might feel like you’re seeing a lot of Mina players around — this is because Mina players have finally received a version of their character that hits as hard as everyone else. Look at this damage output!
Don’t get hit by Azwel’s mid projectile when he’s in Soul Charge.
For if you really feel the need to style. #SCVI_AZW #PS4sharehttps://t.co/gazUaoTxAS pic.twitter.com/gdgdHNu3Gq

Unveiling NieR: Automata’s 2B as the next DLC guest character for SoulCalibur VI wasn’t Bandai Namco Entertainment’s only piece of business at Paris Games Week 2018 in France. The developer also unveiled the next pair of characters to join the ever-growing roster of the Shonen Jump crossover fighter JUMP FORCE, as well as the title’s release date.
The battle for Earth continues to intensify as Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North Star protagonist Kenshiro, returning from J-Stars Victory Vs., and City Hunter’s lead Ryo Saeba leap into the fray. Along with them comes a new stage that sees Paris merged with Saint Seiya’s Sanctuary. Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe also offered some commentary on the new warriors, who have vastly different approaches to battle.
“Ryo comes equipped with his famous Colt Magnum. He is a highly-skilled gunman that rarely misses and possesses extremely quick reflexes to dodge his enemy’s attacks. Kenshiro is an extremely strong expert user of the Hokuto Shinken martial arts, able to target and defeat his opponents swiftly… and brutally!”
This brings the number of represented franchises in the game to 10, with the roster size increasing to 25, including the likes of Dragon Ball’s Goku, One Piece’s Monkey D. Luffy, Bleach’s Ichigo Kurosaki, and more. Original antagonist Kane, designed by Akira Toriyama, will also be playable.
Finally, the game’s release date and box art, which features Goku, Naruto and Luffy, have also been revealed. We’ll all be able to “Unite to Fight” on Friday, February 15th, 2019. You can see the trailer and the cover below.

After she was revealed at the Paris Games Week this past weekend, we were promised that a trailer for Dead Or Alive 6‘s Christie was forthcoming. Now, the trailer is finally here as Team NINJA debuted it during the Monday Night Streaks live stream.
The trailer shows off a bit of the game’s story mode, showing Christie pulling a gun on Bayman. Additionally, it also shows off a new stage set in what seems to be the aftermath of a major accident.
This new stage is somewhat reminiscent of the bottom half of the Scramble stage from Dead Or Alive 5, with exploding cars and trailers as danger zones, though the stage itself is brighter, and doesn’t seem to feature elevation changes.
The trailer itself hasn’t been uploaded officially yet, however, TopGaime was able to record it off the stream. Check it out below.

Bandai Namco has been teasing a reveal for Paris Games Week, and indeed, Kayane’s interview with director Motohiro Okubo revealed a surprising announcement.
NieR: Automata‘s protagonist, 2B, is joining the cast of SoulCalibur VI at the Stage of History in 1586 A.D.
Shortly after the announcement, the official Twitter account posted the English-version trailer of 2B. It features Ivy traveling to the future in year 11945 to what looks like 2B’s own stage. She will be accompanied by her BGM, weapons, and costume parts that will be usable in Create-A-Character Mode. You can see her Critical Edge attack towards the end of the trailer.
Looks like fans of Yoko Taro’s action game got exactly what they wanted! Even Kayane herself has asked Okubo if there’s a chance 2B would be a guest character in the game.
Enjoy the trailer below and stay tuned for more details about 2B as they surface.
