Soulcalibur VI's character creation tool is an absolute riot. If you need proof, scroll through this list of player-made fighters. Some of them are legitimately neat but most of them are just weird as hell. Definitely do not stop until you...

It's been a week of pure outrage. Outrage over the fact we're this late with the Nintendo Direct information and couldn't correct the course of time with our oily bodies. So, while we question the decisions that were made up until this poi...
