Tekken 6 Release Date

Bandai Namco announced the PS3 version of Tekken 6 will be released this December 2008. It is unclear whether or not it will be heading to the U.S at the same time.

Soul Calibur IV Algol

Algol has finally been revealed as the boss of Soul Calibur IV, Most of you probably already knew this after seeing the UbiDays 2008 Transcendence trailer but for those of you that haven’t its posted below with some new screen shots. Along with Algol’s official debut into the Soul Calibur series comes some new information on the character.


Algol's armor is of a bird motif and originated in an ancient kingdom lost to the sands of time. He has the ability to fly in mid air and has these blades that come out of his body. Character designer Hideo Yoshie stated that Algol is the "strongest character ever in SC series" and yes Algol is a playable character.


Earlier information stated that he might be the first to have possessed the Soul Edge but from these images it seems that there’s more to it. His right arm glows red signifying the power of Soul Edge, but his left arm glows blue meaning that he also possesses some of Soul Calibur’s power. Could this mean that Algol once held both swords……. At the same time? We’ll just have to wait for the full story once its available, but overall Algol seems to be one of the best boss character’s we’ve seen in along time.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom GAMEPLAY!!!

All we can say is WOW……. This game looks amazing. This is a promo video for Tatsunoko vs Capcom showing off all the current characters in the game along with some gameplay elements such as Air combos, Super moves, Ground dash, Air dash, Tag team specials and Cross over air combos. Its pretty much the new Marvel vs Capcom but with a lot more to offer in graphics and gameplay (what more could you ask for). More videos for the game should be popping up early next week and we’ll be sure to have them for all your viewing pleasure.

NEW SCIV CHARACTER KAMIKIRIMUSI

Bandi Namco has just revealed there fifth anime character to join the cast of Soul Calibur IV and her name is Kamikirimusi. This latest anime-inspired original is some sort of half-demon and is a creation from Hirokazu Hisayuki whose previous works have included Tekken: The Movie and The Visions of Escaflowne.



She seems to have some sort of thin metal club as her weapon simlar to a baseball bat. From the small shots in this scan we would guess she'll have alot of range attack's like kilik and from a quick glance she reminds us of Baiken from the Guilty Gear Series. Over all Kamikirimusi seem's like a good design and fits into the game nicely, after seeing yoda in the game we think anyone human is a good fit........... wonder who else will pop up in this game.

Considering that Capcom has been leaving hint’s in varius interview’s found on site’s such as gametrailers, gamevideos, 1up, ign, and a very early issue of EGM that Gouken may be playable in the game, We would pretty much call him confirmed for Street Fighter IV especially after seeing the end of the new anime clip.

Who's Missing

In this leaked screen shot we see the Soul Calibur IV selection screen for the PS3 version of the game. As you can see there are 32 space’s available with 4 of them being empty. With the release of the game getting closer it brings up the question who can be missing? Below is a list of character’s that have been announced.

• Amy
• Astaroth
• Cassandra
• Cervantes
• Ivy
• Kilik
• Maxi
• Lizardman
• Mitsurugi
• Nightmare
• Raphael
• Rock
• Seong Mi-na
• Setsuka
• Siegfried
• Sophitia
• Taki
• Talim
• Tira
• Voldo
• Xianghua
• Yoshimitsu
• Hilde
• Zasalamel
• Yun-Seong

Guest Character’s

• Yoda/Darth Vader
• The Secret Apprentice

Bonus Character’s

• Angol Fear
• Ashlotte
• Scheherazade
• Shura

Boss

• Algol

As you can see there is a total of 32 Character’s for each version of the game but, there are 2 space’s on the selection screen that are not occupied by any of the character’s listed. The one to the left of Nightmare is the Random Select box and the one to the right of Siegfried is the Bonus Character Select box. The Secret Apprentice and Algol are not shown on the selection screen so that would mean 2 of those 4 space’s would be used for them leaving 2 more. Krato’s from the God of War series has been rumored to be included in the PS3 version of the game. Whether or not this may be true the 360 version would also have to get a secret bonus character that no one has any idea about to even out both version. That still leave’s 1 space or 2 if Krato’s is not included . The only official Soul Calibur character’s missing are Li Long , Hwang, and Olcadan so its anyone’s guess as to who the last 2 character’s will be. We’ll just have to wait and see
