She’s considered one of the fastest fighters in the franchise and sports brunette hair only in Soulcalibur III i n all other titles, she has blonde hair. Setsuka always sports her heeled geta shoes, which makes one wonder how she dives, slices, and performs devastating blows on opponents. Concealed in the handle is her blade, which she seeks to use after her master, Shugen Kokonoe, is killed by Mitsurugi. Setsuka is believed to be of European descent-specifically Portugal or England-but was raised in Japan. This kimono-wearing assassin first appeared in Soulcaliber III, seeking revenge against swordsman Heishiro Mitsurugi. Unlike other characters in the franchise, the fighter comments on his attire and good looks often when victorious against opponents, providing some comedy after destroying them. He befriends Kilik and Xianghua along their journey to destroy Soul Edge. MaxiĪrmed with a nunchaku, Maxi’s fast flips, kicks, and strikes are a homage to the late Bruce Lee. He fights with a double saber, which can be used as two separate swords if needed. After failing to defeat Soul Edge’s wielder Nightmare, Grøh maintains a rocky relationship with the Aval Organization, hoping to redeem himself. He’s a member of the Aval Organization, an ancient group with the mission to rid the world of what they call “Outsiders,” or those connected to Soul Edge. Nicknamed “The Agent in Black,” this Norwegian soldier first appeared in the latest Soulcalibur installment, Soulcalibur VI. Her father, the ghost pirate Cervantes de León, remains her primary opponent throughout the franchise as they battle with opposing views on Soul Edge. She created her snake sword, which is capable of annihilating opponents with ease if one knows the right combos.

Armed with a traditional Chinese sword, the young woman is capable of doing serious damage to her opponents. Image from Shoryukenīest friend of Kilik and a skilled swordswoman, Xianghua is one of the most graceful and kind-hearted characters of the Soulcalibur franchise. She’s determined, willful, and fights alongside love interest and friend Yun-seong, a man armed with a machete-like Chinese sword. Depending on which title you play in the franchise, this fighter can maneuver quick, devastating blows by swinging her halberd-like weapon-basically Kilik’s weapon but with a blade at the end. To me, Mi-na is the female counterpart to Kilik with skills in long-ranged attacks, keeping enemies at arm’s length. The game itself is incredible, and it seemed only appropriate to rank the top 10 best Soulcalibur fighters/characters. The franchise is currently in its sixth release. Overall, the franchise introduces many enjoyable and durable qualities like customizable characters, upgrading weapons, maneuvering your small army, and taking down kings and queens with playable characters like no other. With the overall plot taking place in the 1500s, without the use of gunfire and machinery, players fight melee with close-quarter weapons. No two characters have the same weapon or moveset, so I always experience new ways to combat enemies. One of the best and longest-running video game franchises, Soulcalibur continues to show players what it means to strive toward a goal-and their destiny-through the means of using unique weaponry.
