By comparison, Guard Impact leaves you a little more open for repeat hits and costs 25% of a Critical Gauge charge. Secondly, it allows you to quickly get an attack in once executed, or quickly take up a guarding position. Oddly, Just Guard seems to have much the same function as Guard Impact, except the competitive community feels that it’s a lot more useful. If you’re being pummelled by an opponent, it can give you an opening in which you can turn the tide on them. It is a little easier to perform than in Soul Calibur IV, executed with left+A+B+K.

Guard Impactīrought forward from the previous games with a little tweaking, Guard Impact is a defensive move that repels all basic attacks at the loss of 25% of a full Critical Gauge charge. You lose half a charge of your Critical Gauge for triggering one of these. Brave Edge is simply a supplementary, powerful end to certain combos, achieved by pressing “ A+B+K” (again, the upper three face buttons on your joypad, or the rear-right trigger). Honestly, I cannot find any examples, though I’ve triggered this on occasion. The directions are flipped if you’re on screen-right. Or in other words: If you’re on screen-left, press down,down right,right x2, followed by “ A+B+K” (the upper three face buttons on your joypad, or the rear-right trigger). The following trailer shows you everything you need to know: Or you can be stupid enough to trigger them out of range of your opponent (doh). These use a full charge of your critical gauge, but they can be blocked or side-stepped. you turn the above battle around to 2-2). The same will happen for your opponent if you subsequently push the game into a Final Battle situation (i.e.Note that if you already have two full charges, you will get no further advantage If your opponent is 2-0 up in a 3 round match. If you’re about to lose the match, you get a free, one off 100% boost at the beginning of the last round.You fill the Critical Gauge by performing attacks or blocking them.Most of the moves on this page use a percentage of your charge, and trying to trigger them with insufficient power will result in nothing happening. The main difference now is that you can charge the gauge fully twice (indicated by the number in the centre of the gauge). This is the power gauge next to either player’s health bar, previously known as the ‘Soul Gauge’. The info is all out there if you’re willing to spend time researching it though, so here’s some of the fundamentals of the new game:Ĭritical Gauge The Critical Gauge charged at a little over 100% It came away with a headshot in Tuesday’s Soul Calibur V review, and if you’re thinking of joining the fight you’ll need to do some catching up to the rest of the world, especially as my main criticism was of how the game doesn’t do quite enough to get you up to speed on its new systems and massive move list. Soul Calibur V releases in Europe today, having been available in North America and Japan for most of this week.
