Fans of the Soulcalibur franchise are welcoming another familiar face to Soulcalibur VI. The developer has been slowly releasing trailers for new characters as we inch closer to release, and many characters are returning. In a trailer released today, Bandai Namco revealed that the Dandy of the South Seas, Maxi, will be returning.

Maxi first arrived on the scene in 1999, bringing with him sick nunchaku moves and Jeet Kune Do (the fighting style of Bruce Lee). The character became a fan favorite for his fighting style, and because of his extended combos is a character many beginners favor. Check out those badass moves in the Soulcalibur VI trailer below:

As seen above, Maxi has more flair than ever in Soulcalibur VI. His combos can be devastating and his finisher looks potent and awesome! Overall this taunting Sea Dandy is bringing a whole lot of class and style back to the arena. Fans who favor him are likely to celebrate the news as other heavy hitters have also returned to the fray.

The game is also bringing back Mitsurugi, Sophitia, Taki, and even unexpected characters like Geralt of Rivia. There will likely be more news to come as E3 approaches and we ease into summer. This title is expected to release some time in 2018 for Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4.
