More opportunities followPractice!
I wanna practice!That's rightIn other words: your victory in SoulCalibur depends on how many opportunities you can create for yourselfYou are free to decide if you want to attack or moveYou were guarded againstAll right! I'll create lots of opportunities
that'll allow me to win!Hey sis! Let's continue that game right away!Grrah!Sorry, I have to make dinner...Let's see which possible result of your attack leads to new opportunitiesU—umm...Guarding is part of that, right? We've just talked about itAnd avoiding attacks by using the 8-Way Run or crouching are some more ways to create opportunitiesOh—Attacks can be broadly divided into highs, mids and lows based on the way they hit
Please choose the best kind of attack to use wisely depending on your opponent's guard stance
Highs: can be blocked with standing guard and completely miss characters in crouch guard stateMids: cannot be blocked with crouch guard, but can be blocked with standing guardLows: cannot be blocked with standing guard, but can be blocked with crouch guard
Throws can be divided into normal throws (such as 🄰 + 🄶 or 🄱 + 🄶) and crouch throws. The first kind is effective against standing opponents and the second is effective against crouching opponents. It's also possible to escape throws by pressing 🄰 or 🄱 when the opponent tries to grab you (throw escape)Eek—You hit the enemyYaaayGyahYou have to work to regain the initiative by guarding against or dodging your opponent's strikesHmm, so I create opportunities when I hit the enemy or when I guard against their attacks, I seeThere's more that you can do to increase your number of opportunitiesLow-hitting attacks cannot be blocked in standing guardYou can also tackle opponents in standing guard with throwsYou can increase your chances a lot if you just add those two into the mixFor example... by using low attacks when your enemy is trying to guard against you or by using a throw after you've managed to hit the enemyEh?You attackYou've lost your opportunityGet a chance
