The first game in the series made by Namco in 1996 is titled “Soul Edge” (Soul Blade in some regions like Europe), starting from the second one, the series received the “Soul Calibur” title and onward they kept on giving it a number depending on the sequel. Overall, this is definitely a tale that deserved to be retold.Who is Sophitia Alexandra? Sophitia Alexandra is a character who originates from the “Soul” series of fighting games, where weapon wielding characters from different parts of the world around the late 16th and early 17th century fight each other to gain, destroy or some other goal involving the mystical twin swords Soul Edge and Soul Calibur. Creativity is hurting ranked play, but I'm sure Bandai Namco will address that soon. The story succeeds by going back to square one, the fighting has gotten deeper, and custom characters are a blast. On the whole, though, there's plenty of fun to be had with SoulCalibur VI, whether you're a hardcore fan or a newbie to the series. This is in ranked mode, meaning serious players are losing to this cheat cube. This makes it impossible to see his actual fighter, meaning his opponents can't properly read and react to his attacks. Most of the time they're crude but harmless, such as the many people who have discovered that a cylinder and a mushroom combine to look like a certain male body part. Then there's this guy from a Kotaku story, who enlarged a cube prop to cover his custom character.

And these trolls are allowed in ranked play. But for every work of art, there's a troll. And that's where the dual serious-silliness hurts SoulCalibur VI.Īs you already saw with Pickle Rick, people have gotten insanely creative with custom characters. Yes there's arcade and training mode, but online is where you go to throw down for real. With these new techniques available, you might be itching to try your blade against other human players.
