Fans of whole-sale face-smashing fools with lightning fast nunchaku action are going to be quite pleased with this trailer; Maxi, fan-favorite badass is officially joining the SoulCalibur VI roster. As a franchise regular, Maxi has been featured in every chapter of the SoulCalibur saga, and you can watch an old favorite kick new ass below.
Maxi was a wandering pirate who fights using nunchaku after learning techniques from "Zhang Wu", an alias for the assassin Li Long. He's hunting the golem Astaroth, who attacked his ship and slaughtered his crewmates, joining forces with Kilik and Xianghua. Maxi defeats Astaroth but is critically wounded as a result. He is later found by some villagers who help nurse him back to health using fragments of Soul Edge, and when he finally recovers enough he heads out to pursue the soul edge with the express purpose of using it to kill Astaroth, planning on just lying down and dying himself shortly after. You know, one of those, "I only live long enough to watch my foes die," type of thing.
In SoulCalibur IV, Maxi killed Astaroth, but by then he decided that instead of killing himself, he'd train with Edge Master to control the shards of Soul Edge in his body, which had stopped his body from aging. After seventeen years, he is sent by Edge Master to bequeath Kali-Yuga to a boy named Xiba, as his friend, Kilik's destiny is in great danger. He became a leader of a group consisting of himself, Xiba, Leixia, and Natsu. The group meet Patroklos during his journey and help him restore Soul Calibur back to its full form.
Check out the trailer below to see Maxi in action, SoulCalibur VI is slated for release for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC sometime in 2018. Stay tuned for more info, and expect a big announcement at E3 this year.
