That is the question
NieR: Automata and Soulcalibur fans collectively went a little doo-lally over the news that stylish android gal 2B would be coming to the Soulcalibur VI roster in the near future. held by Dengeki Online yesterday, lets us catch the q🌱uietly chaotic YoRHa unit in action.
As you can see from the footage below, 2B retains most of her skills and attacks from NieR: Automata, including her use of heavy bladed weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, and her “Pod” sidekick. 2B will also be blessed with not one, but two Critical Edge attacks. When low on health, 2B can activate her skirt-destroying self-destruct sequence, leaving her with a sliver of health and a cold bum, whilst doing damage to the opponent as a last-ditch effort to save the round.
The stream also gives us a chance to check out 2B’s stage which, typically consists of the City Ruins of NieR: Automata. 2B’s scanner pal, 9S, can be spotted watching the battle from a distance. There is currently no specific date for 2B’s arrival as paid DLC.
Soulcalibur VI is available now on PS4, PC and Xbox One.
