Voldo claws his way into SoulCalibur VI

The Hell Guardian has never looked so terrifying

Xbox Israel released the character trailer for returning fighter, Voldo, in SoulCalibur VI, in perhaps his creepiest getup yet. Voldo’s unorthodox combat style is as perplexing as his appearance and keeps players on their toes to counter such sinister techniques.

As horrifying as Voldo can be, every movement flows like a well-choreographed performance, with some moves even ending with a bow. Hopefully, fans of the character will enjoy his new additions when SoulCalibur VI releases on October 19 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

At the time of publishing this article, the Xbox Israel video has since been removed and will be replaced with a capture of the trailer by lzuniy while waiting for another official posting.

Female Saiyan Fusion Kefla announced as Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2’s latest DLC character

Though it was recently announced that base form Goku and Vegeta would be the next pair of DLC characters heading to Dragon Ball FighterZ, there’s even more Dragon Ball news for you, as Kefla was also revealed as the latest DLC character coming to Xenoverse 2.

The Potara Fusion of Universe 6 female Saiyans Kale and Caulifla, first seen in the Universe Survival arc of Dragon Ball Super, the cocky warrior’s power as a Super Saiyan 2 rivaled even that of Goku’s Ultra Instinct -Sign- form during the Tournament of Power. Though the article from V-Jump doesn’t mention much about her playstyle, it does note that she will have two reactions for her Gigantic Breaker, which was her ultimate attack in the anime: one for when it hits, and another should she whiff it. The attack is said to be extremely powerful and damaging but with a long recovery time if missed, leaving her open for a large counterattack from her opponents.

No release date was given for Kefla, but she will likely be part of DLC Pack 7 alongside Super Baby Vegeta. We’ll likely hear more about Kefla and other Dragon Ball game news during the Dragon Ball Game Summer Festival 2018 livestream on Sunday, July 29th. You can see an untranslated scan below.

V-Jump’s first look at base form Goku and Vegeta in Dragon Ball FighterZ

Classics reimagined.

Shortly after being announced, players can now get a quick look at the next DLC characters for Dragon Ball FighterZ, base form Goku and Vegeta, in V-Jump magazine. The scan comes from the trusty YonkouProductions on Twitter and showcases the characters’ renders and special attacks. Goku cranks up his Kaio-ken all the way to 20 and gathers your energy for a devastating Super Spirit Bomb. Vegeta’s Galick Gun looks as sinister as ever and his ruthless Galaxy Breaker surely packs a punch.

Both characters are set to release sometime in early August, with the Nintendo Switch beta opening later that month. Stick around for more news about the new DLC characters and their impending trailers.
