I could only find three people all weekend who could beat me (a Kilik, a Geralt, and a laggy Nightmare). This is activated with the R2 button, which I only discovered after a couple dozen matches. I ate more than a few Critical Edges (CE), the SC equivalent of Rage Arts in Tekken, to the point where my characters’ clothes and armor were knocked off in battle damage. Typically, SC games are button-mash friendly, but advanced players will take advantage of Guard Impact (GI a universal parry) to turn the tables. Since the last time I played SC, Namco Project Soul has added a few mechanics that required some adjustment. This is a 3D game folks, so play like it! As readers (and viewers) will see, a lot of people I played against make poor usage of SC‘s “eight way run” system as I would run circles around them. Unlike Tekken 7, which has a massive learning curve and required hours and hours of practice despite my vast experience, jumping into Soul Calibur VI was like riding a bike.


My first SC match many many years later. I chose the former, temporarily revoking my Glorious PC Gaming Race membership. Ok, a free demonstration is of no risk to me all I had to do was humble myself enough to play on PS4 or Xbox One instead of PC.

Prepare for battle! Download the #SOULCALIBUR VI network test today on PS4 or Xbox One and then get ready to draw your weapons tomorrow, Sept. I enjoy playing fighting games for the stories, and with every iteration, the franchise moves further away from the robust Edge Master mode found in Soul Blade on the PSX. I did not even bother with Soul Calibur V, which replaced almost the entire roster with “clone” characters. I tried Soul Calibur IV years later, but I felt that the game lacked…soul. My best days with the latter were during undergrad I remember bringing a 13″ TV and my PS2 to play Soul Calibur III in the recovery room after my first-born came into the world almost thirteen years ago. While I was hyped for Tekken 7last year, I at first did not think much about Soul Calibur VI. When your PS4 lets everyone know you took a screenshot?
