I’m quite sure that AkeoPo needs no introduction to any SoulCalibur player but this will not stop us from letting him introduce himself in this series!

If you had to introduce yourself in three sentences to some SoulCalibur player who didn’t know you, what would you say?

What is the origin or meaning of your nickname?

A long time ago, I wanted to use the nickname “agwip’o” as a nickname in some other game because I enjoyed the snackยน a lot. However, someone had already chosen that nickname, so I went with the similar sounding “akeopo”. I’ve used the name ever since.
ยนTranslator’s Note: “Agwip’o” is dried monkfish, which is a common snack food eaten in Korea, usually with alcohol.

I started playing fighting games with Soulcalibur 6. During my military service, I also had a chance to play Soulcalibur 5, and I really enjoyed it a lot.

I use Setsuka, Tira, and Nightmare currently. When I started playing SC6, I used Tira. I got a bit of stress due to her moves’ properties not working as intended, but playing with Tira was mostly alright. Now I’m using Setsuka much more often. I really like her cool techniques, and she’s fun to control input-wise. Nightmare is just a breath of fresh air to play as. But I think all three of them are really cool characters.

It’s a good game. But there aren’t a lot of players. At the beginning of the game’s life, there were some large mistakes from the developers (such as the matchmaking system), as well as other unfavorable conditions (such as Corona) that all in all make it a bit of an unfortunate game to me.
