EVO Japan to Feature Playable Soul Calibur VI & SCV Side Tournament

The SoulCalibur & Tekken 7 Producer Motohiro Okubo made an appearance during the Eastern Japanese online qualifiers for their national Tekken 7 tournament and relayed some news for Soul Calibur fans going to EVO Japan. The first of which is that Bandai Namco are planning to have playable builds of Soul Calibur 6 for people to try out at the event and it marks the first time the public will be given access to the new game. It wasn't disclosed what build the game will be (If it is still the Mitsurugi/Sophita build for instance) but more details about the playable SC6 demo is said to be coming at a later date. Next bit of news was bringing up that Evo Japan is having a side tournament for Soul Calibur V, the previous SC game on the PS3 & X360. Registration for that side tournament are now open so sign-up if you happen to be over there. EVO Japan marks a small resurgence of Soul Calibur activity so perhaps we might even see some new news or announcements about the series made at the event. If you want to check out the VOD for the announcement segment, you can find it below. EVO Japan is taking place in Akihabara, Japan on January 26th-28th, 2018.

Day 1 of Geese Howard's Release; What's Working and What's Not

The Goose is loose everyone. The new character has just arrived and the flow of streams, notes, combo clips and more are pouring in. While it is Day 1, there's already hours of live content to dig into if you're looking at how people are finding the new guest character. I'll start by posting some of the more brief and interesting clips out there and should you be interested in watching more of Geese, you can watch the Day 1 Geese Howard streams from the community. The Tekken Bot frame data display for the PC has stopped working as of this patch unfortunately but here are some frame data documents floating around to use as a resource in the meantime. Enjoy.
