Soul Calibur 6 - New Character Azwel Reveal Trailer

The new character that we've seen before in the Libra of Soul trailer has now officially been unveiled. Azwel, the so-called leader of humanity joins the stage of history wielding his Palindrome weapon that can materialize many other weapons in battle. The character concept seems a little similar to the way Noctis in Tekken 7 fights except with added muscle buster. Interestingly enough, the confirmation of this character's name lines up with an old leak on 4chan back in June which outright named Azwel and several other unrevealed characters. Azwel was revealed live during the Soul-Cal Ring Out event but the trailer is also available to watch on the Bandai Namco US YouTube page.

Soul Calibur 6 - Voldo Battle Director Comment

With every character reveal in Soul Calibur 6, the game's Battle Director Oosaka (@oosaka_twt) goes out to give small gameplay details on how the character plays in the new game. The recent of which is Voldo, and it gives a good overview of what the character is all about in terms of combat for newer players. It even gives a slight tease on unique properties for Voldo on the way his Soul Charge and Critical Edges work. I have localised the developer comment passage below but you can find the original source of it in Japanese over at the Gamer website:
