SoulCalibur VI Character Creations: Halloween Special
To get everyone in the mood for Halloween, we’ve spent some time in SoulCalibur VI‘s Character Creation mode and come up with some appropriately themed characters for the horror season.
So check out below our questionable and tongue-in-cheek attempts at some horror favourites. Let us know what you think!
Grim Reaper
Signifying death wherever he goes, the Grim Reaper is the archetypal horror character. With his decrepit bones, tattered shroud and hood, and wielding his traditional scythe, he is ready to usher those whose fate it is to die into the afterlife.
FUN FACT: When he’s not working his side job of harvesting wheat, Reaper enjoys a good rack of ribs at his local steakhouse.
Nemesis
Best known for rampaging through the soon-to-be-destroyed Raccoon City in pursuit of Jill Valentine in Resident Evil 3, Nemesis is as scary as he is unstoppable. Considerably stronger than anything else in the game, Nemesis is a formidable foe, even without considering he often arms himself with a rocket launcher just for fun.
Often you’ll find it better to just run from this abomination, for fear of your top half of your body ending up in a different place to your lower half, courtesy of Nemesis’ incredible strength. Definitely one to avoid.
FUN FACT: Has a self-programmed hatred for S.T.A.R.S. members, but loves the stars themselves. His passion for astronomy often leaves him feeling conflicted, leaving him to take out his frustration on nearby cable-cars.
Jason Voorhees
Often found running around Crystal Lake, doing his civic duty to prevent overpopulation, Jason Voorhees is one memorable character. Taking his killing streak from his mother, and donning his now-infamous hockey mask, Jason’s appearance is definitely iconic, and certainly not one you’d want to meet on a dark night.
FUN FACT: Due to an unfortunate superglue accident, Jason can’t actually remove the hockey mask. However it’s been so long now, that bringing it up makes for an awkward dinner table conversation.
Michael Myers
Few would argue there’s a more fitting a Halloween character than the main villain of a horror series of the same name. After killing his sister at a young age on Halloween, Michael escapes the Sanitarium years later to unleash his own brand of horror on his home town of Haddonfield.
Brandishing his infamous kitchen knife, and saving his killing for the spookiest night of the year, this is a character that requires the very best of Jamie Lee Curtis to overcome.
FUN FACT: Michael Myers starred in later films, including Austin Powers and Wayne’s World and became the voice of Shrek to millions of families.
Freddy Krueger
Having tormented children’s dreams for years, Freddy Krueger is literally the stuff of nightmare. Deadly nightmares. In his now infamous striped top and fedora hat conceal a heavily-burned body, making a close encounter even creepier.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, his bladed glove will finish you off for good. Sweet dreams.
FUN FACT: Has a keen interest in gardening. Considered starting a joint venture with Edward Scissorhands in a landscaping business.
Mr Blobby
Alongside Noel Edmonds, Mr Blobby has been terrorising residents of Crinkly Bottom since the 1990s. With a penchant for gunge, and a disrespect for personal space, there are fewer creepier sights in all of television.
During his heyday he was a prime-time regular and even had a booming musical career. Sadly(ish) for us, work these days appears to have dried up
FUN FACT: Him and Noel Edmonds were separated at birth, and his brother’s rise to fame enraged him so much that he turned pink permanently.
