Ever want to play like Bernie Sanders in Bandai Namco’s Soulcalibur 6? Of course, and now a new mod is bringing the mitt-wearing politician to the scene of history.
The image of Sanders sitting in his fold-out chair, arms crossed, mask on and wearing his infamous mittens has burned into the consciousness of everyone who has been on the Internet in recent weeks.
A plethora of memes have been circulating to show the U.S. Senator for Vermont who sat at Biden’s inauguration, but perhaps the most laudable effort comes from User 619 and JoeMashups who managed to get Sanders into the game and modify him over fellow seat-loving warrior Azwel (thanks, NME).
Granted, the game already has a pretty robust customization suite that allows creative players to come up with some really gruesome characters, but it was made with a mod using a model created by JoeMashups on Twitter.
There may be no animation for the stoic character, but that just makes the whole thing funnier, really – seeing Sanders move across the stage without expression, devastating enemies from the comfort of his seat… it’s kind of chilling.
However, you have to be careful with the custom characters that you bring into the game’s online modes: you may be given the option not to play Soulcalibur 6 if they are too ‘inappropriate’.
