Soul Calibur VI: Haohmaru Gameplay Trailer

[Neoxon]

He actually looks really good in motion. The camera-work for his super looks like it was ripped straight out of Samurai Shodown (2019), & I mean that in a good way. No word on if he'll have an English voice or not.

Looks really good.

 

[Sargerus]

NANI??????

 

[Papertoonz]

Haohmaru vs Mitsurugi

joking aside he looks alright, nice to see he still has his heavy slash as always

 

[Burning Kasshu]

Great trailer I think he looks good and the stage looks great too.

 

[anastiel]

ooooooh

Looks really good.

 

[G Darksoul]

Very cool! Hope Hwang makes it in so I'll have a real main.

 

[Virtua Sanus]

I love how they brought in his neutral A+B in. It is probably the same exact input too. It was meant to be!

And I am super happy with his level. Just hope it has a sunset variant for later in the match.

It's actually really funny seeing him and Mitsurugi face off, because they're like, essentially the same character in two different artstyles. Haohmaru actually looks super out of place - way more cartoonish. But I guess that's part of the fun.

Definitely captured the gameplay perfectly, though!

That stage looks amazing.

 

[Vex]

It's crazy how like... Every fighting game now is a crossover of characters. What's next, Akira (VF5) in Tekken? Pfft.

Funny enough, Capcom, SNK, & Arc System Works have avoided guest characters in their games. Though Capcom & ASW have dedicated crossover games for that (the Versus series & BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle respectively), while SNK has returned the favor to Tekken by having its characters show up in KoF All Star.

Man, they nailed it! His model, stage, and music are all spot on.

He was already in DoA5.

Mitsurugi is Haohmaru if instead of being a badass who defeated supernatural beings on a regular basis, he was kind of a loser who didn't accomplish like half of the things he set out to do.

Akira is in DoA5.

 

[galvatron]

So awesome! Might get back in to both Haohmaru games if I can still find matches online.

 

[Hours Left]

Love the new stage.

Hwang next please.

you can def find matches on all platforms (source: am multi-plat SoulCalibur shill) with xbox probably being the one that takes a a few extra seconds depending on the time of day, but still reliable

[Hikari]

Stage is awesome. I dont care about the character. Just doesn't appeal to me whatsoever. We need Setsuka next or Viola!

 

[SolVanderlyn]

He's a perfect fit for this game.

If matchmaking was more kind, I'd play more. But the game likes to pair me up with A+ rank folk when I'm beginner/sprout. Kind of lame.

 

[TreIII]

Very well done trailer. Should have had Mitsurugi in his "Haohmaru-like" alt from SC2 to complete the joke!

 

[SpaceCrystal]

This is great! Haohmaru made the transition to SC VI very well.

I wonder what the quotes & interactions between him & Mitsurugi are going to be, LOL.

I think that SNK's trying to avoid Capcom in every way possible due to bad blood between them ever since the Capcom Vs. SNK games in which SNK had a big issue with Capcom nerfing their cast of characters in those games.

It's also why there isn't "Capcom Vs. SNK 3" or even a "Capcom Vs. SNK 2 EO" remaster.

 

[Sheng Long]

He looks good. Might have to pick SC back up again.

 

[MetalMagus]

I'm almost more excited for the additional assets than the character himself. The stage is one of the best looking ones in the game and that music is FIRE. Also looking forward to making some CAS with his style.

Two down, two to go for the season's pass...

 

[Garrod Ran]

He looks really faithful! Hope that doesn't bite him in the ass in terms of viability or anything.

Can't wait for his release

 

[Sanox]

He really looks fantastic. Curious what they will do with the stage. Water going to be the edge of the stage for a ring out or will it extend into the water.

Would be pretty cool if the CaS set was Samsho costumes.

Now can we fastforward to after his release and have Setsuka announced pls
