Cervantes and Raphael Leaked for SoulCalibur VI

Arr, we've got a leak

by Robert Ramsey Sun 2nd Sep 2018

Whoops! Two more SoulCalibur VI characters have been leaked ahead of their official reveal. Mainstay baddie Cervantes and sinister swordsman Raphael were actually playable at a recent event, meaning that someone at Bandai Namco has made a huge mistake.

Footage of said fighters has been removed from around the 'net, but you can probably expect official character trailers in the very near future.

Will you be maining either of these two? Congratulate Bad-MuthaAdebisi in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

@SKC_Diamond These puddle jokes are never going to end, are they?

Nice to see Cervantes back.

That’s finished my full list of players I need to jump in day 1. Love this game, hopefully some good introductory offers on ps plus as there’s no way I want this physical. I need to be able to drop in and out with all the other games coming. Love ending my play sessions with a fight and I haven’t bought a fighter I like this generation.

Think Cervantes is one of the best characters from the franchise

my fears have been eased, confirmed I will buy on day one. I was scared these two wouldn't make the main roster.

Obligatory question of whether they are base characters or DLC ... 😒

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi nice one fella.
So some daddy-daughter smash each other in the head with swords days are on the cards. Shame about Tira, though.

@Th3solution

They will be base characters... If you buy the $80 version of Soul Calibur 6: Almost A Complete Roster Edition...

@Flaming_Kaiser
I gave the first one a good go but couldn’t find the longevity I was after, so I skipped the second one for that reason. Hoping this will see me through the generation for fighting games. Also I’m getting old now and the time needed to learn is hard to come by. At least with soul calibur I have played it since ps1 days every generation, and I played a lot. To the point I know most moves locked to muscle memory and only have a few top up move to learn each iteration.
