Fans will be glad to hear that there’s some new fighting mechanics, including Reversal Edge. You can trigger this move with a single button press which fends off all attacks. Players will then enter a cut-scene, but what happens after this you’ll have to wait and see. Other Soul Calibur 6 gameplay features include:
- A Lethal hit system that rewards players with a huge attack with pulling off certain moves under the right conditions
- The Ring-Out mechanic, allowing players to knock each other out of the arena returns
