How are you guys ‘n’ gals finding the Soulcalibur VI open beta? The online free-for-all, currently live on PS4 and Xbox One right now has, to be honest, been kicking my ass. To be fair I’m quite out-of-touch with Soulcalibur, but it also doesn’t help when I’m dropping all of my parries due to some pretty shaky connection issues.

It’s taking me quite a while to find opponents and for matches to connect. When they do, they’re rarely smooth as ice, which is pretty important in any fighter, but especially in a game where counter-attack timing is life and death. Still, I’m not being a big ol’ downer here. Having played Soulcalibur VI offline in the past, I know already that the game itself is solid, and although there may be some online issues right now, this is why we have betas.
