Today is all about fighting! With EVO, a major fighting game event, having taken place this weekend, nearly every fighting game used the chance to announce new characters.
- The Walking Dead’s Degan in Tekken 7
- Astaroth and Seong Mi-Na in Soul Calibur VI
- Sagat and G in Street Fighter V
Degan in Tekken 7
Here’s a crossover I wasn’t expecting. Tekken 7 will be featuring Degan, the antagonist in AMC’s The Walking Dead TV series. This reveal was alongside the announcement for Anna Williams and Lei Wulong. I haven’t watched the show. So I don’t know if he is a good fit or not. I suppose we’ll see.
Astaroth and Seong Mi-Na in Soul Calibur VI
Two classic characters were confirmed for the upcoming Soul Calibur game: Astaroth and Seong Mi-Na. Astaroth has been in literally every game in the series, so his inclusion is by no means a surprise. Seong Mi-Na, however, wasn’t in Soul Calibur 5, despite going as far back as the first game. This led to some wonder if she’s out, or returning. Of course, now we know.
Sagat and G in Street Fighter V
Two new fighters have entered the roster for the latest Street Fighter game: Sagat and G. Sagat was the final boss in the original Street Fighter, and now he’s back as a playable character.
Then there’s G. Drawing power from the earth itself, he is the self-proclaimed president of the world. He fights for the people and his planet. He comes complete with sleeveless suit and top hat, of course.
Both characters are available now for $5.99 or 100,000 Fight Money, and as part of the season 3 pass.
That’s all for today. Sorry to folks who aren’t that into fighting games. Tune in tomorrow for some (probably) non-fighting game news. Otherwise, have a great day!
