    *Additional Notes
    - Throws in SoulCalibur are performed by pressing A+G or 4A+G. A+G throws are broken by pressing an action button (such as "A") + a direction other than back upon the throw. 4A+G throws are broken by pressing back + an action button upon the throw. Throw ranges vary between the characters. Characters like Nightmare have a large throw range whereas characters like Xianghua have small throw ranges. Characters such as Ivy or Astaroth in particular have strong command grabs requiring more complex inputs, with smaller throw escape windows.
    - If you get knocked down, you can either just lie down on the ground (and block from the ground if attacked!) Or tech roll by pressing the Guard button + a direction right as you hit the ground. Beware of "Tech Traps", which are setups designed to hit you during a tech roll since tech rolls don't have complete invincibility. If the opponent uses tech traps, just lie on the ground and block what you can, if the opponent tries to immediately pressure or hit you on the ground a lot, back tech roll "ukemi" if you need to create space.
    - Reversal Edges can be beaten by sidestepping then punishing like a linear Break Attack (or Nightmare's CE!). And before you ask, you can Reversal Edge a Reversal Edge.
    - Nightmare's "AA" is actually i16, not i18 (Seong Mina's is i18)
    *i10 Strikes: AA, 6B, etc.
    - Cassandra
    - Taki
    - Xianghua
    - Yoshimitsu
    - Amy
    - Azwel (Requires "Sword Mode")
    *Slower than i12 AA's
    - Astaroth (i20)
    - Seong Mina (i18)
    - Nightmare (i16)
    - Siegfried (i16)
    - Voldo (i14)
    - Haohmaru (i14)
    For Directional Notation
    7 8 9
    4 5 6
    1 2 3
    Each number represents the corresponding direction. 1 for "Down-Back", 9 for "Up-Forward", 5 for "Neutral" or no input, etc. Quarter-Circle Back = 214, Quarter-Circle Forward = 236, Half-Circle Back = 63214, Half-Circle Forward = 41236, etc.
    For Input commands:
    A = Horizontal Attack
    B = Vertical Attack
    K = Kick
    G = Guard Button
    6G = Guard Impact
    A+G = First Throw
    4A+G = Second Throw
    6B+G = Resist Impact
    B+G = Reversal Edge
    A+B+K = Critical Edge
    236A+B+K = Soul Attack
    Legend:
    W! = Wall Splat
    W!! = Second Wall Splat
    GB! = Guard Burst
    CE = Critical Edge
    ( ) = Held Input
    : = Just Frame Input

      Tell your friend to get gud..... Soul calibur is easy to learn but hard to master since there are so many options in combat. And if he tells you your character is better than his, that just means he doesn't understand how to use said character. One character in particular that isn't understood well is Taki. Your technical skill and understanding of all her moves has to be very good in order to understand her complete game. People always say it's easy to keep her out....wrong. Those people are noobs. Just go and watch the south american scene for soul calibur. there are quite a few insane taki players that will prove that completely wrong. There are just too many people that claim to be good with a character but just don't really go to training and learn how to use their character's full moveset by impulse or instinct.

    Got my thumbs up…again great tips…how do you resist impact? And why do you think 2k and 1a are unsafe on hit? Makes absolutely no sense to me

    • @Neko4president
      @Neko4president Před rokem

      1b is also unsafe on hit

    • @ForceofNature99
      @ForceofNature99  Před rokem

      Resist Impact is Forward+B+G (6B+G). Oh, 2K's, 1A, and 1B's are usually negative on hit. They shouldn't be "unsafe". Well some bigger 1A's or 1B's can be unsafe (think Nightmare for example).

    • @Neko4president

    You say backoff characters with their back to the ledge if you have the life lead since they have to come to you. What if they can either do something like spam a free projectile (Cervantes) or can power up freely if not pressured (Siegfried)?

    • @ForceofNature99
      @ForceofNature99  Před 2 lety +3

      Maintain a spacing so that you can strike them when they try to use tactics like that (or just crouch Cervantes' projectiles if you have the life lead).

    @Joutube_is_trash Před 3 lety

    If you continue this series please make a more indepth RE video. You kinda oversimplified it, and the way you scripted the video it seems like you're implying only talim has movement options out of RE. I know RE is one of the tools new players pick up early, and a lot of people have a very limited understanding of both how it functions, and the mind games within it.

    • @ForceofNature99
      @ForceofNature99  Před 3 lety

      RE could be a potential video in the follow-up guide series. This video just touched on a lot of stuff briefly to keep the length a bit shorter. Talim was used as an example because she arguably has the most prolific implementation of RE with her gameplay.

  • @zazoreal5536
    @zazoreal5536 Před 2 lety

    No no no....I am a Nightmare main and keeping people at distance isn't the Nightmare way. Nightmare is a mid to close range character. Yeah he has long range attacks but these attacks are limited. Nightmare can however close distance very fast and create it as well. So I'd say mid range is Nightmare's strongest game.
