Because Soul Calibur focuses on weaponry, it was crucial that each fighter's armaments are as distinctive as the wielder. But because Namco's fighting franchise would be a bit repetitive if every player was armed with swords, swords, and more swords, the developers incorporated some uncommon utensils including katars, whip blades, and even a weaponised umbrella.

When Namco were brainstorming ideas for Soul Calibur III, they devised an extremely memorable character called Tira. With her feathered rags, teal-coloured hair, and purple eyes, this femme fatale immediately stands out.

However, the most intriguing thing about Tira is her weapon of choice - a razor-sharp hoop. Even though it sounds silly in concept, the ring blade is based on a real weapon called a chakram.

But not only is this devious assassin one of the better fighters in the Soul Calibur series, the way she wields her ring blade makes her among the most fascinating to observe. Watching Tira juggling a revenant in the air or obliterating a demonic golem with nothing more than a freaking hula hoop truly is a sight to behold.
