Bandai Namco has confirmed another playable character for Soulcalibur VI.

The nunchaku-wielding, parted-shirt fighter Maxi is returning in the new fighting game. Featured above, you can view the reveal trailer for Maxi.

Here’s a brief synopsis of the character:

Maxi’s father had worked in the Ryukyu Kingdom as a merchant. Though fortunate enough to experience different cultures from his trade, he felt tied down by his job. On his deathbed, he told Maxi to go out and see the world. Deciding to live by these words, Maxi set out to seek total freedom. He found this out at sea where he became a pirate to see the world his father couldn’t.

Maxi’s weapon is a nunchaku which is extremely difficult to wield. It will give a rain of pain to the opponent but only if you know how to handle it!

Here’s some screenshots and artwork for Maxi:
