In the previous Soulcalibur games, guard impacting was performed by pressing ▷G
(forward and guard; 6G
, in fighting game direction terminology).
In Soulcalibur V, this was removed. Guard impact still exists, but it uses the soul gauge, and apparently requires a different combination (likely involving A+B+K
, since it uses the soul gauge). What is that combination?
Best Answer
Guard impacts are performed with the combination
◁A+B+K
(4A+B+K
) and takes half of a soul gauge meter, regardless of whether or not they hit.Additionally, certain characters have combinations that perform a guard impact. For example, Siegfried's
B+K
stance transition includes a guard impact. You'll be able to recognize these by their green glow as the animation occurs.
