Last week, returning veteran Christie was announced for DOA6, who shows
off some new Shequan (Snake Fist Style) techniques in her reveal trailer.
For some reason, Christie also gets beat up quite a bit in her DOA6

an odd choice for other reasons). Additionally, a new stage called "Road
Rage" makes its debut in Christie's DOA6 trailer.

stating the PS4 version met sales expectations (as they were able to release
Vulcano Rosso & Pullum as free DLC characters), but was not a

Soul
Calibur VI Movelists for All Characters in the Beta
|
|
|
Are you enjoying Soul
Calibur VI beta on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One? We certainly are (when it
finds an opponent). Soul Calibur VI makes things very accommodating for
beginners by design, but becomes a much more enjoyable and deeper game when you
know what you're doing. That said, stop reading this and start studying these
character movelists
from PrimaGames for all 16 playable characters in the beta version!
