Taki was mysteriously absent from Soulcalibur V, and fans were not happy about it; not only is Taki a series staple, but she's one of the franchise's iconic fighters, appearing in every game except for the fifth Soulcalibur, where her apprentice took her place on the roster. Namco has apparently learned their lesson, and they aren't making the same mistake twice; Taki has just been reintroduced into the series with this new trailer.
Taki is a Japanese, demon-hunting kunoichi and the greatest warrior of the Fu-Ma ninja clan, traveling the world on a quest to destroy the evil sword known as Soul Edge. Taki was first introduced in the original arcade version of Soul Edge in 95.
Here is the official description:
"Taki is a famous ninja also known as the Fu-Ma's Shadow, so there's no doubting her fighting skills! She is also an expert in blacksmithing having crafted her own two swords Rekki-Maru & Mekki-Maru. Her last masterpiece Mekki-Maru is fused with a fragment of the Cursed Sword. Even if the whereabouts of the Soul Edge are unknown, Taki's weapon still glows with a mysterious power. Armed with dual blades, Taki is a true dealer of pain and destruction, able to take on all challengers in any arena of battle. Taki can be cold, emotionless, and serious - all attributes that make her a better ninja. She also has a deep sense of duty to complete an assigned mission, this makes her an even more focused weapon.
Take a look at the trailer below to see Taki do her thing, Soulcalibur VI launches on PS4, XB1, & PC in 2018.
