SoulCalibur V features the king of assassins himself, Ezio Auditore from the Assassin's Creed series. Ezio joins the ranks of the SoulCalibur fighters and has no problem holding his own. He utilizes all the gadgets Leonardo da Vinci created for him through his travels, including the pistol and the double hidden blades. In addition, Ezio will have a sword, crossbow and countless other techniques to mame his opponents.
Ezio is extremely fast and accurately reflects his maneuverability from the Assassin Creed titles. I was dodging attacks, rolling over opponents backs and performing jumping hidden blade stabs fluidly and quickly. The larger characters were no match for me, as Ezio allowed me to sidestep and punish the heavier, slower swings of characters like Astaroth with ease. The quicker characters, such as Patroklos or Voldo, while proving to be a bit more problematic, were still unable to counter my swift attacks and lighting-fast counters.
Requiescat in pace.
