What are the Main Features of Soul Calibur 6?
- Soul Calibur 6 offers up some new features like Reversal Edge along with improved graphics, better online gameplay and many more. Since there’s no demo released for this game, if you want to know more about it then I highly recommend that you read the Soul Calibur 6 review found on GameSpot.
- In short, most of the features from previous games have been improved and there’s a new one added as well called ‘Reversal Edge’. In order to explain Reversal Edge we must first talk about Guard Impact and Reversal Action.
- Creating space with guard impact is an important part of fighting games and has great defensive potential. Guard Impact is a move which allows players to deflect oncoming attacks and push away their opponent while staying in place. Once activated, you can use the right stick (on consoles) or mouse (on PC) to deflect incoming attacks in different directions.
- You can also use it to counter your opponent’s Guard Impact and eventually lead into a full offensive assault or a short combo, depending on the situation. Reversal Edge is an enhanced version of this and works similarly by using the right stick (on consoles) or mouse (on PC). However, instead of just deflecting attacks, Reversal Edge allows you to avoid enemy attacks and turn the situation around.
- It can also be used to knock your opponent’s weapon away, so you have a short window of time to go for a counterattack. Draw is another new feature which allows players to choose between two characters at the character selection screen before each round. It’s similar to one of Soul Calibur 5’s most popular features, Team Battle where you could select multiple characters during character select.
- Soul Calibur 6 offers improved graphics that are based on Unreal Engine 4 along with better AI for offline play. There are more than 30 characters in total, but only 20 will be available from launch. According to Bandai Namco every character will come with their own story.
- Soul Calibur 6 is a fighting game that uses a lot of weapons and this time you’re going to see more characters using them in combat along with a few returning characters! The character roster includes Voldo, Astaroth, Mitsurugi, Sophitia, Nightmare, Xianghua and Kilik.
- In addition to this there are some guest characters from the likes of Ezio Auditore from Assassin’s Creed along with maybe Geralt from The Witcher series! We will probably hear more about these two after Soul Calibur 6 is released!
Conclusion:
Soul Calibur 6 will be available to play during the first quarter of 2019 on PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One. With Voldo returning along with many other interesting characters this game will sure to put up a fight!
