It’s the guest appearance of the Witcher’s Geralt of Rivia that will make the biggest impact on anyone new to the series, which is no stranger to cameo appearances. Two new characters make their debuts here: Grøh is a fast attacker with a sword-sabre that can split in two for varied attacks, while Azwel is a tricky conjurer who can summon a range of weapons out of thin air.
Soul calibur vi looks bad series#
The Tekken and Soul Calibur series also continue their timeshare ownership of Ninjitsu master Yoshimitsu. The developers had over two decades of games to draw from, and there’s not really a duffer in the bunch.Īt launch, the cast is comprised of 21 fighters, including plenty of series stalwarts like freakish contortionist Voldo, demon pirate Cervantes, and Ivy, the chainsword-wielding dominatrix (don’t ask). Speaking of characters, VI has a healthy roster to choose from. They’re only guaranteed to hit in a combo, anyway – with a bit of practice, you can see ’em coming a mile off and sidestep to avoid them, leaving your opponent open to big damage. Series purists might argue these are all too easy to pull off, just needing all three attack buttons to land some big damage, but in reality it just opens up the experience for non-hardcore players.
VI builds on a lot of the elements introduced in the last game, with Critical Edge special moves making a reappearance. Mastering the switch between a regular block and Reversal Edge counter becomes a big part of gameplay, which means returning veterans still have something new to learn.
Knowing when to block is even more important now, as many moves have guard break properties that’ll blow right through your defence. Shoulder buttons act as shortcuts for less dextrous types, but this isn’t a game that’ll leave you feeling hard done by for not owning an arcade stick. Combining two buttons adds throws, taunts and the new Reversal Edge attack to your arsenal, which counters an opponent’s hit with some flashy slo-mo. Series newcomers can get started with the four controller face buttons, which are assigned to light and heavy weapon attacks, kick and block.
