Soul Calibur 4 Combos: Xianghua, Talim, Tira and Cassandra

[forgivethehated]

Awesome comobs. =] The directions are from the numeric keypad on a keyboard.

[xXINN0C3N7Xx]

you are missing Talim's BEST combo lol

[Andy50k1]

i never knew what the numbers and letters ment they were not on my contoler..so,what do they realy mean anyway?

[backdrop04]

0:57 what does QCF mean?

[hotyellowkeedy]

[Hellgunn90]

Nice =)

[Sarge078]

nice shit man. love the cassi just imputs

[Ranfti]

Giving up after one day? What a noob.

[luckyday465768]

Did cassandra used her ass at 2:09?

[xravenx24fe]

oh yeah

[biirrtthh]

@luckyday465768 Yes, She can use her ass for practically anything. LOL

[TRANCEconduct]

Agreed. I have no idea what bottons to push. A confusing set of combo's IMO =/

[moua64]

Hi, it's a universal way of representing the d-pad. It's a little confusing but once you introduce yourself to it for a while, you'll get used to it. : )

I added a button description to the sidebar under "more info," which can help you decipher the numbers and letters. :D

[TRANCEconduct]

I understand it a bit more now. :D Thanks a bunch! Im still a little noobish at that universal d-pad technique. Now time to go give it a try on Xbox Live >:) Thanks again.

[megabiggn]

who came up with this fucked up directionnames for the d-pad???

[sonicthehedgehog09]

Cassandra GO GO

[solec23]

very nice combos my timing sux w. talim & XIa but tira & cassandra are useful add ons

[fazly2008]

i know what that means. means are button in use....

[chinesmonke]

Mind explaining what all the stuff means? Like the "6 A A A, 4 B B A"?

[CrazyKoopaMan]

6 and 4 are forward and back respectively.

Numerical Notation. I hate it myself, but it's getting more and more common.

A and B correspond to Horizontal and Vertical attacks.

[Ryrydane]

these combos kinda suck, most of them arent even guaranteed

[7149250]

these combos are killer, i luv soul cal and i luv TIRA i have no choice but to subscribe

[crimson911666]

for cassy, there 6k 1k 1a k 6b b a...thinks its a 81 dam. combo if you get the just fram.

[7085275507]

awsome combos how did you get so good at it

[eyon17]

nice video Id like to see some of Xianghua's A+K mix up combos.

[reyleanne]

WOW!!!

DO YOU KNOW HIDDEN TECHNIQUE AND SPECIAL CINEMATIQUE FINISH HIM?

How Can We Do This ?

[willphill]

hmmm cinematique finish......well ITS CALLED CRITICAL FINISH>>>>READ THE FUCKEN BATTLE TUTORIAL B4 YOU ASK...

Nice vid/ combos....some of those are given in the training demos tho  -_-

[jeffapples99]

after you land that just frame kick with X you can dash forward and get a free low throw backturned for 96dmg

[jrivera345]

Talim is the most awesome girl in the soul calibur series.

[NeoArashi]

Quoted for Truth

[wasuplalo101]

Nice video do you know the one where tira says are you afraid and then you press b+k after impact

[ARNGRIMPRO]

good combo video ;) watch my combo video too ;)

[zelda2ownage156]

Why do the female characters kick so much butt? lol

[envy400]

:10

with xianghua, how do you use that back kick so fast after you grab? I've tried it myself and I can't see how it works.

[moua64]

It's a just frame. It requires perfect timing. The time frame for the kick input is right when she lands on the ground. If you look closely, JFs glow white.

[MyXIANGHUA]

Those Xianghua combos are kinda easy, I use it all the time

[moua64]

Yeah, they are :). This was just several days after I got the game.

[Shad0wlaw]

only problem i have with the Xianghua combos is that a few of them are pressed differently on the controller if you are on the opposite side of the opponent :(. nice vid tho and i learned alot from it.

[GinIchimaru101]

Really good!

[meleekypoo2]

thanks alot man, i actually use all 4 of these characters. The most useful combos to me were Xianghua's, i managed to develop most of the combos seen with the other characters on my own but with Xianghua i was COMPLETLY lost and frustrated! thanks again and keep posting!! we need more people like you around:)

[crusnik101]

just tell me what BT means.

[moua64]

it means backturned. the numbers are correspondant with the directional keypad on the ps3 controller and the Bs As and Ks are correspondant with the verticals, horizontals, and kicks.

7 8 9

4 5 6 <----------Directional keypad

1 2 3

Double inputs mean its an 8way run move.

[crusnik101]

Can some one plz explain to me what the numbers infron of the combos represent? i dont know the know combo l33t language

[crusnik101]

It would be nice to know what half this crap ment. 66 B+K? wtf is that? Plz try to show it in a way that ppl, who DONT know all these codes u guys have made up, will understand.

[moua64]

I will try to reply in a positive way. This so called "code" is the only effective way to communicate the movelist. You'll get used to it if you frequent game forums.

[Akabuena]

hey nice video u got here, u hmong by the way?

[moua64]

hah, yeah. did the name give it away? lol. thnx btw.

[Akabuena]

i guess so lol. you wanna play against me at SCIV?

[moua64]

sure. my ps3s not with me though, but my psn is kham06.

[Akabuena]

who got your PS3 now?

[moua64]

its with my brother currently at college. I can't really do anything about it though. so just gotta wait till he comes back to visit

[Akabuena]

ah shit that sucks lol. he took the ps3 to his dormitory college?

[Hotashi]

SICK Combos.

[GavinChingy]

for the 4 k, 3 k , 66 k, 2 b+k, 2+b+g

I cant seem to land the 2 b+k after the 66k for some reason, do i have to move forward a bit to my enemy first, because i cant seem to hit it

[moua64]

yeah, u gotta move forward a bit quickly.

[trippalhealicks]

These Xianghua combos are SICK.

It took me about an hour of practice, but I got 'em down. One thing I noticed, if you're trying to predict each "next move" in the combo, don't repeatedly mash the buttons. Just learn the sequence and slow it down. The timing is crucial. It can't be one after another, you have to know when to input the next move.

[trippalhealicks]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't seem to finish most of the Xianghua combos, online. Most ppl just start blocking right after the "jump behind" throw.

[moua64]

the kick after the crouch throw has to be "just frame" in order to be guaranteed. If you look at the video, X shines after she does the crouch throw and that is the just frame property.

[currelley20]

cassandra's combos are awesome

[blueglenn]

jonnyboy u have to press for BT B+K to work, well thats how it was in SC3 not sure about this sc4 tho, but if u pressed B+K w/o w/o 2 the kick wouldnt reach.

[J0hnnyB0yyy]

I couldn't exactly decipher your poor grammar, but if you're trying to imply that my correction of "2 B+K" to simply "B+K" is false, then you'd be wrong. 2 B+K is a guard break stomping move, and it is not shown in the video above. B+K was the move being used.

And btw, this video is SC4, not SC3.

[Onedesign45]

Nice combos

[J0hnnyB0yyy]

The third Xianghua combo (1 BB, 2 B+K, 2 B+G or A+G) is incorrect. It should read:

1 BB, B+K, 2 B+G or A+G

The fourth Xianghua combo is also incorrect. It should be:

1 BB, 33 A, while crouching 3B, 3 B+K

The same problem is in the next combo, where it says "99 A", it should actually be "33 A".

And then in the last combo you have BT B+K, 2 B+K, 2 B+G, BT B+K, and again, the "2 B+K" should actually just be "B+K". (2 B+K is the Guard Break move where Xianghua stomps on the ground.)

[moua64]

Thanks for letting me know. I'll correct it some other time. But 33A is interchangeable with 99A. It's an 8wayrun move.

[J0hnnyB0yyy]

Okay no prob. The video was a great help btw!!!

And yeah, you're right about 33 A and 99 A. Sorry!

[Onedesign45]

Beast nice combos

[touxtone]

thanks for tira's combos! ;)

[crackface2]

combos sucked. U could never beat me with any of them.

Gamertag: Melanin

xbox360. I will destroy any of you.

[moua64]

Mmhmm, You say that because it's the internet. Your opinion isn't needed here and some of these were made to get style points. So you could could stop it with all the e-hate.

[Onedesign45]

Shut up

I hate ppl who think they r all that

get a life

and stop

putting down other ppl

who you dont know

[FTwilight3]

nice vid, do you have a psn message me i would like you to help me with X combos F_Twilight is my psn if u got 1

[TheRipper999]

very nice

[zerowingcats]

wow i just want to say i keep coming back to this vid... i really hope/can't wait for another one

[zerowingcats]

also i wanted to say i think you did a good job (only video i've seen thus far) using annotations to describe your combos. I hope to see another video soon with soul calibur 4!

Also what song is this? I know it's from a soul calibur game...

[moua64]

It's called Ephemereal Dream from SC3. It's actually Setsuka's BGM. Thx btw.

[zerowingcats]

i don't really use xiangua that much but man the talim and tira ones were especially good. reminded me of zasalemel AI combos, I definitely will try them out sometime.

[Marc4360]

how do you do that one talim combo where she knocks them in the air then keeps doing that wind sault on them?

[Marc4360]

nevermind I figured it out

[izoubb123]

i love cassandra!!!

[Shikamaru78]

I'm really getting in to this game reminds me of tekken 5. Someone please explain the numbers in the combo video. I have no idea what they mean please Thank you in advance

[OMGitsaBLAST]

its like a number keypad, like on your cell phone

789

456

123

6 is forward, 4 is back, 3 is diagonal down... etc

[Manta2015]

I will say this - most of the pro Calibur players keep their combos under wraps, or don't post their videos. Essentially, guaranteed stuff or not, it's most appreciated that you've uploaded this =)

[thecharm3000]

Just wanted to ask how many of them r guaranteed combos?

Top Vid and big thanx for the help!

[moua64]

Most of the stun combos shown are escapable. I believe Tira's aerial combos are all guaranteed and a few from Talim as well.

[wasterry]

top ace!!

[Dignit2]

nice combo! Love the Xianghua combos!!

[TehMedusaMan]

how the hell do u do a counter hit at 2:04 for that kick?

[moua64]

Just change the settings in practice mode.

[50coins]

ahh

so im guessing counter attacks r random in real gameplay unless u got the auto counter a?

[shishi51894]

counter attacks can be done from hitting an opponent while they are in an attack animation (being quicker than they are and hitting first or dodging the attack and "countering") or while they are retreating (side-stepping or dashing backwards). adding CH-skills can also make attacks counterhits without the requirement of the opponent attacking such as strong impact skill, makes next attack after guard-impacting a counterhit.

[bfmilf]

Thanks for posting the combo vids. I've been searching for Tira combos.

[kazkazee]

hey man love your vid...

@@; YOU ARE THE ONLY vid on youtube that i've seen that is actually good...

meaning the usage of stuns, and just frames lol

[moua64]

Thanks, that means alot.

[shishi51894]

thanks for the cassy combos. can you do some wall-slam combos for us too? i'd really appreciate it.

[moua64]

I'll do that when things aren't so busy. Getting ready for school and all that right now.

[Usopp15]

nice vid... can we unlock more combos or what !!

and how?? if we can ^_^

[Nemesis4567]

Awesome combo vid. I love all of them one thing though the move you are doing on tira's first combo string after 66B, the next attack is 11K not 11B+K

[moua64]

Thanks, I'll correct that.

[TokisPL]

About Tira's part: WS K CH gives stun ONLY in Gloomy Stance, you should give notice before showing inputs. Nevertheless, nice combo vid!

[KrakkaJax]

A lot of these aren't very useful, but definitely stylish!

[moua64]

Hey, I got style points.

[MikeandCass]

I love Cassandra.

And you really showed nice combos.

[Sora1Takenouchi]

Looked nice. Very nice. What was the name of that song by the way?

[moua64]

Ephemeral Dream. It's from SC3 (Setsuka's BGM).

[Sora1Takenouchi]

@Sora1Takenouchi

Okay I love bye bye.

[R3d4nt]

Love your Xianghua combos. Very useful. The rest are great as well.

[RoyalFlush]

Thanks for the Xianghua and Talim combos. I never she could combo croch grabs. Clever use of the command text!

[Nyawu]

Nice stun combos! (maybe put a note where it's shakeable in the annotations though?) I love the butt stuns for cassandara, lol.

Try out 99B for her, there's so much combo potential with that, like 99B, A+B, 236:[B], 4BB:A etc.

[SodomizeMeCapn]

Wow man, nice Cassandra! This video actually helped alot, we should play some time. PSN: Mind_Explosion

[Gaideninfinity]

with cassandra!!!! (forget)^^

[Gaideninfinity]

66b+k,a is better than 4b,b,a after 66b+g

[moua64]

I know, I just wanted to mix up the combos. Just frames make them look flashy. :)

[dangerbay06]

thanks. im a xianghua and tira user. these definitely help.

[moua64]

glad they did.
