Community

This week, the SOULCALIBUR community lost one of it's legends. Marquette Yarbrough, also known as "Mick" was one of the greatest to every play the game. He had become a staple in the SOULCALIBUR community in the South. While I myself did not know Mick too well, only having met him a few times at tournaments throughout the years; I know he has touched the hearts of many throughout the entire community. One of Mick's closest friends has submitted a few words:

I have never had to write something like this before, so I’m not sure where to start. This is all going to come from the heart and with tears still outpouring from my eyes. If this ends up being incoherent rambling, forgive me.

Mick

Anyone that has played the game of SOULCALIBUR on any type of competitive level knows this name. He was a champion. He was a legend. He was a god of the game. However, he was more than just a guy good at playing a video game. He was a person. He was a friend. Most importantly, he was a...

Last month, we ran a contest based on people's creativity with create-a-soul. The contest prizes (and the idea for the contest in the first place) were provided from QanbaUSA (use promo code 8WAYRUN2018 for a 10% discount on all orders). We asked you to post your best CAS creations and the moderation team and Qanba would select our favorites, and reward the top three with some Collector's Editions for SC6; featuring a beautiful Sophitia statue, and a steelbook that yells at you when you open it.

Well the results are in!

Man, Qanba USA really loves you guys! For the third month in a row now, they have been supplying us with arcade sticks and goodies to show their support for the SOULCALIBUR community.

This time, they have given us three, yes three, collector's editions for SC6 for the Xbox One. Yes, I'm sure by now, all you already have your copies of SC6 and have been playing furiously since October. However, that doesn't mean you managed to get your hands on a collector's edition, with it's beautiful Sophitia statue. Last month's contest was a test of skill (congratulations to @IvantheTerrible for his win); but this month's contest will be a test of creativity!

What do we want to see? It's simple, Show us your best create-a-soul characters. You can include them in the comments as screenshots or videos on youtube. At the end of the month, the moderation team here at 8WAYRUN will review all the entries and pick out our top 3 favorites!

UPDATE:
Qanba USA has provided us with a discount coupon code when shopping at qanbausa.com. Using the code 8WAYRUN2018, you can save 10% all orders!

Not everybody could win last month's contest! But don't be sad, Qanba USA actually sent us a third Obsidian SOULCALIBUR VI Edition, for which we will be holding another contest! However, unlike last time, where the winners were chosen at random, you're going to have to work for this one! You're going to have to pour your time and skill into this one.

In Soulcalibur VI, there is an Arcade Mode. By default, you can play this mode up to "Very Hard" difficulty. However, after beating very hard, you will unlock the final difficulty, which is known as "Legendary". Your mission is to record video of you beating Legendary mode as quickly as possible... and I warn you, this is no easy task.

Last month we ran a contest; which was essentially a character poll. Qanba USA graciously donated us a couple of their new Obsidian Joystick SOULCALIBUR VI Edition and we decided to give those arcade sticks away to a select few of you, our loyal fans! We only asked that you select your favorite character as your character header in your account preferences. Well the results have been calculated and the winners have been chosen!
