Yoshimitsu is Coming to Soulcalibur VI

Yoshimitsu is going to be joining the ranks of announced fighters for the upcoming Soulcalibur VI. He will appear alongside characters like the staff-wielding Kilik, scantily clad Ivy, witch-hunting Geralt of Rivia (from The Witcher series) and more to come.

This, however, isn’t the first time we’ve seen Yoshimitsu on the roster. We were first introduced to the flag-wearing samurai all the way back in the first Soulcalibur game, and he has been present throughout the franchise since then. Fear not, though – his combat in Soulcalibur VI seems to be just as hectic as it’s  ever been with his helicopter katana and other grandiose moves.

Yoshimitsu’s Tekken 7 Redesign is Very, Um…Squid-Like

Not really sure what Bandai Namco was going for with this new new-look Yoshimitsu but it's interesting nonetheless.

The developer has released a trailer for the upcoming Tekken 7 , and series mainstay Yoshimitsu is the highlight. He has received plenty of design overhauls over the years but this one is especially bizarre.

He looks too much like an octopus or maybe a squid, but at least his fans will be happy to see that he appears to have a similar skillset. Remember the pogo-stick move? I always thought that was exceedingly strange (never really understood how it was effective), but a friend of mine used it awfully well.

So, what do you think?
