First, Libra of Soul houses the game’s tutorial. Do that until you find someone you like.Īfter you’ve got a character you like and a general idea of what they can do, you should head into Libra of Soul, the first of SoulCalibur VI’s new story modes. If you find that you don’t like the character you initially picked, go pick another one, and head back here. Oh, and you should like your character, too. You don’t have to spend a lot of time in training mode – maybe only a few minutes – but by the time you leave, you should know how to do a few attacks, throw your opponent, activate your Soul Charge (and when to use it) and how and when to use your Critical Edge.
That means getting acquainted with your character’s moveset, what their Critical Edge does, how their Soul Charge works, the basic button inputs for your core combos and attacks, etc.
Yeah, I know, I know, it’s way more fun to go straight into things and start whacking people with whatever weapon your character has, but you’ve gotta know what you’re doing first. Got a character you think you might like? Good. Whatever it is, pick your character before you do anything, and I mean anything, else. You could choose based off looks, their backstory (which you can access in the Museum), their fighting style, or any one (or more) of a dozen reasons. Maybe you’re here because you’re a fan of The Witcher and you want to kick ass with Geralt. For others, it could be trying a character you’ve always thought was cool, or picking one of the new additions to the cast. If you’re a veteran, that might mean returning to an old friend. This is fighting game 101, but the first thing you should do is pick the character you want to play. But don’t worry whether you’re a SouCalibur legend, a lapsed fan returning to continue your story, or taking your place on the stage of history, we’ve got you covered.
But where do you start? Which of the 20 playable characters do you use? What mode should you play first? Are they any new mechanics you should be aware of? How should you try to learn the characters? This is stuff the game doesn’t always tell you. Fans of burning souls, big swords, and announcers with deep voices welcoming you back to the sage of history rejoice: SoulCalibur is back and SoulCalibur VI is one of the best games the series has seen in a long, long time.
