How to LEARN Soul Calibur 4 CRITICAL FINISHERS!

[Drakannon]

I always thought you had to break all your enemys armor off

[JesusXRuth]

What does it mean when my character or the other player is flashing red?

[jojo4titudo]

i was wondering what that button did...it was soooooo useless 2 me lol

[alpunkbrewster]

Does your oponent have to block for you to perform a "CRITICAL FINISH"!

[alpunkbrewster]

what about to the PS3?

[alpunkbrewster]

@alpunkbrewster nevermind just found out thats its square to L1

[xArcticWeasel]

how do u get darth vader plz respnd fast i want him

[usernameeiinvalid]

@xArcticWeasel Buy him. By earning gold in story mode.

[JesusXRuth]

@xArcticWeasel DLC for 400 microsoft points.

[SlayerSubZero]

thank you so much i didnt know how to do a critical finish now i do

[Centeolt]

Thx man! I was puzzled to how to do them. The game itself doesn't even explain what to do, just some text on the conditions.

[lucidcobra]

Holy shit I never thought this game had anything like this and I always wondered what LB did lol

[juegosbobesponja]

perfecto is video grat

[ben10juegos]

soul esta genial el video

[Tazzzz666666]

when the top right thing is red press L1/left bar over lift triger at first i had no clue what the fuck u guy where talkin bout i had to press every buttin on the remote to find out and if u do not no what L1 is it is the back buttin on the top of the remote on the left

[pikapanda]

@HykCraft Oh wow. I never ever check my YouTube comments. Just going to say I saw this JUST now. It was like a time capsule, I still don't have that achievement, despite being really close! :P

[TheArbiter10]

Was wondering how to do that, thx for the upload

[PainInTheAssKid97]

Its easiest with Yun-Seong, just keep holding down right on the d-pad / analogue stick and spam Y. It uses the electric blue guard breaker move.

[XxYouDontKnowMehxX]

Yes, but how do you get the CPU's soul gauge down to empty in a normal match? I have the xbox version, and on level 20 ascending in the Tower of Lost Souls, the girl I have to fight just deflects all grabs and attacks, and when she does this her health replenishes. I'm having the hardest time beating her, someone give me some advice please! :(

[dragonex95]

@XxYouDontKnowMehxX try your hardest to get a Ring Out, she is not impervious to them for some reason ^.^ hope this helps

[yehlingboy]

@XxYouDontKnowMehxX if you have darth vader use him and ring her out

[TheGamerFru]

ok thanks, i love that game but the controls gives me headache lol, i'm good with others though

[jhc1971]

It doesn't work.

[light89clouds]

sweet dude worked just fine 4 me :D

[ZRtheHedgehog77]

Yeah about this... I followed what you said and press the LB as you said and nothing Critical Finish happened like maybe it would be best to let me know what settens you have on your Controls that would be great.

[snowblue18]

@ZRtheHedgehog77 whichever button you have set to A+B+K+G in your controller settings the default for type a is LB... you can go into options to find out or change it. You don't have alot of time to press it after the clang noise only a couple of seconds but it will work if you do it right.

[slipriser10]

Thanks you iv been trying to find out how to do that for ages

[AgentZombieMan]

wow... that's so simple I'd NEVER have guessed! THANKS!!!

[racjin]

thanks dude!

[darrenagne]

do you have to put cpu on attack mode... :I

[KongCannabis]

how do you get the light saber `?

[TheGamerFru]

@KongCannabis you sadly can't and beleive me, i look for that answer before loll

[HykCraft]

@LobsterPotsticker LB on the 360 controller you dipshit.

[jollyshawn360]

But if its LB on xbox doesnt that mean its L1 for xbox???i need to know cuz i only have it for ps3

[DirtyRedd2k5]

@jollyshawn360 its L1 on the ps3

[hinata077]

@LobsterPotsticker um in PS3 it would be R2... i think.... and in Xbox it is the RT (right trigger)

[NoobYouJustGotPwned]

@LobsterPotsticker Left bumper is the button shaped like a bumper in front of the trigger

[Estill123]

Thanks SO Much Man! :D But in an Arcade or Story etc How do you actually lower their Soul Gauge and Whats the Easiest Way???

[JasMasKas]

Thanks dude !!!

[UmbreonIsTheBest]

its just hard to get there thing down to blinking without actually killing them lol

[darkmanafest63]

what bumber ? LB or RB

[sonictom95]

@darkmanafest63 lb wich is stand for left bumber ok

[ImmortalReaver]

It's much easier just to set it to recorded command and make them block also with the blinking gauge.

[m1sterSunshine]

tyvm i couldnt find out how to use it cuz mine was blinking blue and nothing happend now i see ty!!

[kealey9]

Thank you so much :) maybwe now i can finally beat floor 50-52

PS3 users can use this video too they do the same exact thing but just push L1

[kitosxz]

Thnak youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuu

[KingManga358]

@TheUmbrellaFiles no i have a xbox 360

[KingManga358]

@TheUmbrellaFiles no it is lb button

[KingManga358]

how to switch character?

[eunicoguiang]

left bumper is L1?

[KingManga358]

@eunicoguiang no it is lb button

[eunicoguiang]

@KingManga358 was able to do it already. thanks alot man.

[KingManga358]

@eunicoguiang oh ok:)

[JulietHasAGun89]

I hate Shura. I really do...

But I love kicking her ass with my creation character, Emilyn (uses Maxi's weapon)

[marioandsonic2008]

you can get StarKiller (The Apprentice) by Completing Arcade Mode With Yoda

[gotiketoDR]

how you get the aprentice is a download content??

[GixxerGuy13]

@gotiketoDR StarKiller (The Aprentice) isn't downloadable. I don't remember how I got him. I've had him forever though.

[XenoAlbedo]

oh so its not like broken destiny where you just hit them with an electrified sword

[MrRaphaelLippi]

I Bronken Destiny, U just hit the oponent with the empty soul gauge with A + B + K + G, and it's done. In Soul Calibur 4, presing al the 4 buttons is just a ''grab'' that doesn't works, HELP!

[MrHalonater]

@MrRaphaelLippi lb

[MrRaphaelLippi]

@MrHalonater What is LB????????????

[sn3wlands]

@MrRaphaelLippi it the button above the left trigger called the "Left Bumber"

[MrRaphaelLippi]

@sn3wlands Aff. I use Ps3, thanks anyway.

[MrHalonater]

@MrRaphaelLippi  Left Bumper- On the top left corner of the controler behind the trigger

[dgenerate707]

@MrRaphaelLippi Just think L1 or R1

[sandman4056605]

...whats the left bumper for the 360 controller ?

[Hanser68]

@sandman4056605 LB

[Dartykal]

Its Soul GAUGE, not cage. xD

[scarface00091]

@Dartykal lmao ikr

[wittynameguy]

how do u empty the opponets soul meter?

[blueeyesaf]

@wittynameguy Hit them a bunch with them blocking, the more they block the lower their gauge with get, once its black in the center then you can do it, but if they start hitting you then their soul gauge will start to fill up again.

[Jk1Lz]

thank you man your the first person that actually tells u how to do a critical finish

[Wolfsnipes23]

Can u make ur own person out of the chick he was fighting

[Flygonrider2598]

@Wolfsnipes23 yes

[blueeyesaf]

I don't like how you can't customeize yoda or starkiller, the game would have been way cooler if you could make your own jedi

[ZAPPSOFT]

So after you break the armor which button do you press a bunch of times on the PS3? I coulsn't make it out in the video.

[JimBucket]

@ZAPPSOFT I think it's L1 -- A + B + K + G.

[midnitex333]

@JimBucket no K

[wittynameguy]

@ZAPPSOFT yeah its L1 or the one that presses all the buttons

[JimBucket]

Good. Nice.

[hectormagi3]

Thanks man

[MrSebbe97]

thank you you helpd me out

[palasta]

K, thanks. At first i thought you just have to simply push the L1 button when its flashing red.

[XXXskittlesrulesXXX]

how do you get the soul gauge empty manually? without setting it on empty(on default) i know noob question, but i just cant do it, i block, they block etc. but no one goes red

[moodz]

thank you so much!

[Theteensqaud]

THANK YOUUUUU!!!!

[serazac25]

thank you :)

[OscarBallz]

wats left bumper

[lexyboy23]

@OscarBallz LB

[OscarBallz]

@lexyboy23 wats lb on the ps3

[lexyboy23]

@OscarBallz L1

[deelyee5]

u r awesome thanks

[sandiws]

It's to bad that we can't use shura's weapon for our custom character. T_T those dual katana looks preety cool to me

[ClickyStudios]

I've mine set to right trigger. the default layout is not efficient

[TheBlackLionHeart]

Left bumper's for the 360 default settings. Its A, G, K, B pressed at once.

[NikolaiCarpathia]

@LobsterPotsticker He's doing it for the 360, dumbass...

[LobsterPotsticker]

@NikolaiCarpathia b quit

[Stupidkibbles3]

I can land one in these little play fights.... but landing one in a real fight is a hell of a lot harder... Not only do you need to get it to get the CPU to block enough to break, but you need to make sure it doesnt break on like the first attack of a 2-3 attack string.

[millylove45]

lol the girl was funny

[AlexandriaFrostsabre]

@LobsterPotsticker think he means L2 button

[alimcbain]

How in hell is this supposed to help people in an ACTUAL SC4 battle?

We all know how to piss about on training mode. GEEZ!

[GsSupabala24]

tha hell is left bumper? Useless video...

[xCreScenDo]

@GsSupabala24 LMFAO!!! HAHAHA!! OMG, man.

OMG. You Noob.

[hecq]

THANK YOU!

[elcondorman]

thanks man

[UFCuban91]

i think tht was the most helpfull video ever for ths game, an yea his finisher is pretty weak haha

[SmunchyRecords]

thanks man, ive been trying to figure that out forever, i always only hit the button once but it never worked.

[herofromthedark]

Man, I wish the apprentice's finish was better... I mean, give him, more hits, make him impale the enemy like yoda... end with force lightning... ANYTHING! It could've been so much cooler...

[Scorpion24]

Thanks man I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure it out. The game in the battle tut didn't really explain it well

[131Virus131]

ok, im gonna send you friend request vilarin6879. My gamertag is TVirus131 if anyone wants to hit me up. ;)

[131Virus131]

thats blinking awesome! thanks

[FizzyPhoenix]

Thx:D:D

[WowWoahWowWoah]

@novig1668

Yep the GTA 5 opening cinematic some how leaked on a few differnet gaming blogs like you probably heard others speaking about on their facebook pages and what not. I can spare u a little searching, Ya can check it out at the link below (copy and paste into url bar)

shortener｡org/65155

Greatest game trailer of all time. You should message me on Xbox Live my gamer id is vilarin6879 :]

[newagecancerbackup]

If you like soul calibur and want soul calibur 5, then visit my channel for the link to the OFFICIAL Soul Calibur 5 facebook petition. Harada (soul calibur///tekken executive) has posted that if enough fans show interest in the petition we could see a soul calibur 5!

[chababy87]

what did u press??

[chababy87]

how come on my psp i don't have the option to put it on vs cpu mode gosh damn

[fround4]

how do you unlock the apprentice?

[MrNightwraith]

The apprentice rocks!

[Sunamo09]

Can a created fighter do this?

[okamideon]

I just got this game yesterday downloaded on to my hard drive and as soon as i woke up like at 8am i started playing and i stop playing like at 10pm this game is very awesome.

[DeathRat751]

how do you get the aprentice??????

[BladeStar5068]

@DeathRat751 Beat him in arcade mode just once. I suggest using Yoda if you have Xbox or Darth Vader if you have PS3. He's the 7th opponent.

[XProfesserXPePeX]

@DeathRat751 complete arcade mode with YODA

[ssmg18]

TTTTHHHHHAAANNNNNKKKK YOUUU!!!!!!!!!! ive had this game for like ever and i never knew how to do a critical finish lol

[dreamerboy84]

Uh...who's the girl?

[public666enemy]

how do i get the soul gauge down in a normal fight ?

[Zero542542]

@public666enemy just keep attacking them if they block 2 much.

[TheDustyin]

Nice video

[0XxknightmarexX0]

@ahleenabell its in front of the left trigger

[joeyawsome1]

thx

[Rukia122]

wat would happen if u didnt put it to VS CPU

[fakkak12345]

how do u make you opponents soul guage blink red? and thnx aloooooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZoMBieAtBeST]

@fakkak12345 beat the crap out of them lol

[n05M4s]

thnx

[TheS4Guru]

thx ;)

[Rockstar2DaEnd]

thanx alot i didnt know :-)

[VampireDraco04]

Thanks.. Good job

[KaminoProductions]

I can only do this in training everywhere else there to fast and i record and play actions to make them block.

[Arcink]

Als I wana do is find an easy way to get soul gauge down when im actually fighting someone... not training cause that does me no help

[zazagigi45]

Thanks!!!!!!!

[ARayaOfSunshine]

Okay, back. After emptying out my opponent's soul gauge AND breaking their armor, I continually tried to press LB as you instructed. All my character did was some kind of dumb shield with her hands. That was it...

[zazagigi45]

@ARayaOfSunshine Right when there is a clang sound you LB

[Arcink]

@ARayaOfSunshine is LB not LT

[ARayaOfSunshine]

So in order to perform critical finish the opponent must have empty soul gauge, as well as broken armor?

[WakizashiSabre]

I just wanted to ask, if I do Guard Impact and enemy is falling on the ground with the showing the his back to me lying on the ground, is it the momemt, when I can also trigger my finisher move? Or it can be apliable only, when the "armor" breaks up, which is sometimes done with guard impact? Thank you. I have really did not get it from manual.

[RyokotheDemon92]

thank u very much. i dont have the game yet and i thought that i would have to like put in some kinda code or something but thanks for the tutorial = )

[EndlessAxis]

OMg thank you, this guide was simple and understandable. I can't believe how complicated they make in on 1up and gamepro.

[SublimeCake800]

I just got this game and the apprentice is my most hated enemy. i think he is harder to beat than Algol and the other final people. He's cheap as hell by its awesome playing as him.

[Gothicnick369]

thank U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DiCkSoN738]

thanks alot ^^ I've been looking to do this for ages XD

[emogansta16]

thanks a ton man

[Gixmock]

How do you actually empty the enemies soul gauge though? For instance when i fight my friend online how do i empty his soul gauge?

[PleaseRemainCalm486]

Ahh, so you have to hit the LB when the armour breaks. Thanks, when I played this i would see the flashing red bar and instantly just start mashing the LB and getting annoyed that nothing happened xD

[MultiMrleon]

how do you unlock the apperntice

[Zombi78]

@MultiMrleon You probably already figured it out by now, but just beat arcade mode with vader (ps3) or yoda (360).

[soulcaliburkid]

@MultiMrleon Finish Arcade Mode with DArth Vader.

[crazymonke99]

@MultiMrleon finish story mode with yoda

[alejoman01]

ho thx

[syain7000]

THX dude

[cakemanishmael]

Thankyou - I hope now I'll be a tiny bit less rubbish at this game. Also - is it possible to unlock the critical finish achievement (and various other combat achievements) by using training mode... Or do they have to be performed against CPU opponents in arcade / story / online?

[MultiPivotmasterdx]

when i saw amy in you characterlist i was like WTF?

[Critic863]

does it give the honor when you're in training mode or no?

[BrolyStrife95]

Thanks dude this vid halped me out ALOT!!

[Egglesplork]

_____I sold this game 'cause the AI was broken. To beat ANY AI character, just hit the throw button. The computer never cancels throws, almost never dodges them and just walks right into 'em. A gimpy noob can just trash most all the tower levels just by using this ONE tactic. Unless they patch this bitch, I'm not buyin'...again.

[lastkillis100]

@Egglesplork well there is this thing that some people have is auto graple break... but i guess if you just want to use constant grapple or throw or W/E i guess thats how you paly. why not make it harder for yourself than just wasting your time and/or money... epic fail.

[lancermasterx]

wait just hit the left bumper?

[mittieman]

thank you for this video!!

[Nekuriddo]

I love the game but the critical finishers suck. I would prefer it was some kind of super combo in the fight itself, not just some cutscene!

[fullblooded64445]

Thanks to showing me this. I was always wondering how the fuck to do that.

[hydralicninja56]

who is he fighting against?

[theshleckman4390]

@hydralicninja56

Shura

[SublimeCake800]

@hydralicninja56 You have to earn her by doing story mode.
