Tekken's Yoshimitsu Revealed for Soul Calibur 6

The roster for the latest addition to the Soul Calibur franchise is steadily growing, with the latest announcement revealing a fan favourite character making his return to the fighting stage. Yoshimitsu from the Tekken franchise will once more be clashing blades with the likes of Siegfried and Geralt of Rivia as he returns to spin his way to victory.

Wielding the Manji Sword and Fu-Ma Blade, the Manji Ninjitsu practitioner has certainly retained his ability to dazzle and confuse opponents as he helicopters around the stage. At the moment it’s unclear exactly which Yoshimitsu we’re looking at, given the often convoluted story that weaves in and out of the various character arcs, though what we do know is that fans of the Tekken franchise and fans of the Soul Calibur franchise are certainly happy to see the high flying ninja grace the battlefield once again.

Perhaps the most impressive part of the reveal is the unveiling of what appears to be a new super attack, with Yoshimitsu appearing to pull out the soul of his enemy before slicing it into more manageable bite sized chunks. What impact this will have on the story of the Soul Edge remains to be seen, but I for one am looking forward to once more wielding the crazy spins and flips of the Mechanical Ninja.

Soul Calibur 6 is due for release later this year on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. More information on the game can be found on the official website, here.
