During Comic-Con last week, visitors had a chance to play through “The Esseles”, one of the early Flashpoint group missions for Star Wars: The Old Republic. This is what that looked like.
Context is key. While this video shows Tekken prevailing over Street Fighter in a series of challenges at Comic-Con 2011, what you don’t see is what led up to it.
See Soulcalibur V‘s newest confirmed souls—Zwei, Natsu and, looking pretty spry for a 49-year-old, Ivy—do battle in the game’s latest trailer, which made its debut at the San Diego Comic-Con. We’ve shakycam-captured it for your squint-filled enjoyment.
In it, you’ll see Ms. Valentine perform one of those new Critical Edge attacks, realise that Natsu sure looks a heckuva lot like her mentor Taki, and wonder at the combat possibilities of the chesty Zwei, a man who wields a sword with two ways to slay.
We’ll have more from Soulcalibur V for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the coming days.
