Haohmaru is ready to show the cast of #SOULCALIBURVI what it means to be a warrior!

PREVIEW -- Soul Calibur VI - Cassandra Reveal, Season 2 Teaser, and Samurai Shodown Collaboration DLC Trailer

I know that I'm a late to the party regarding Cassandra's reveal as she's officially part of the game as DLC for over a week now following the finals of Evolution Championship Series 2019, but I still wanted to share the trailer along with the teasers for Season Two of Soul Calibur VI, specifically the collaboration with SNK's Samurai Shodown.

I really need to break down and buy the Season Pass at some point. I haven't played it as much as I should even though I really like the game, but Bandai Namco did a stellar job on this newest entry into the Soul Calibur series.

Glad to see someone from Samurai Shodown gets to crossover with the Soul Calibur VI. I hope this round of DLC additional fighters aren't all female though like they were for Season One.

PREVIEW -- Samurai Shodown - Return Of A Legend Gameplay Trailer

Samurai Shodown (Samurai Spirits in Japan) is a fighting game series by SNK. In Japan, the name of the series is officially in katakana, but is often written in kanji (侍魂, samurai tamashii), with the second character pronounced supirittsu, "spirits", to better reflect the game's setting.

I haven't played Samurai Showdown - with an "W" - in roughly two decades now, but this newest entry looks like it could be pretty fun. Seems like SNK invoked some essence of what Street Fighter IV a blast to play throughout it's tenure on the landscape of the fighting game community at the time. I'm still surprised that this was already granted a spot at EVO this year to say it's officially launching within a few weeks prior to the tournament. Those interested are going to put in the man hours in terms of crunch time and mastering their strategies within the Training/Practice Modes while learning the in's and out's of the game. 

I know that there have been more trailers focusing on each of the fighters that are going to be in the game, but I have honestly haven't keeping tabs on that. 

I applaud SNK for offering the future DLC content for free for anyone who adopts the game early (namely before June 30) though. That's piece of good will to their player/fan base right off the bat that's going to make newcomers and early adopters of the game stick with it and actually invest more than weekend with it.
