Soul Calibur 5 Auto Fuzzy Guard/Option Select Against Lows

[StickyickyX]

This is plain funny. I would assume this will get patched. Until then, I'm gonna try abusing it online and trolling people.

[CettoTheCesco]

oh i will use this maliciously online mwahahah

[MegaAnubis83]

and to the guy below this i understand your pane namco kinda sold out on this one with capcom style strategy...... and to answer ur guestion about not hitting the person he dosent have too look at it again this action takes place with or with out a mid to high attack

[SDSOverfiend]

@MegaAnubis83 I just wanted to see if it guards and then jumps lows.... I wanted to see how it can be used mid game.

[MegaAnubis83]

Ok.......I've been studying this move for some time now......if this is intentional trust me it's very helpful because there are character's the have things on this very broken game that are unbelievable......unfortunatel­y i'm not going to mention all of them....... but natsu is 10% of it as u all know.......both ground pounds r little to no frame's with a little sneaky mix up mean your life in a air combo is gone in less then 4 to 5 chops w/o super's......

[MelficeVKM]

@MegaAnubis83 You can react to the ground pounds lol, purple one can be blocked low and the unblockable one can be hopped. Try it!

SC5 is actually very balanced, you just have to find out how to deal with things. If you're stuck with something, try 8wayrundotcom, really handy site for soul cal questions&answers

[SDSOverfiend]

Funny how you dude really think namco try to make a decent fighter..This shit is a joke and a mash fest.. And please for the life of me why didn't you actually try to hit your opponent instead of whiffing the move?

[SuperQweertyuiop]

@SDSOverfiend If you mash, you lose. If you can't beat mashers, you suck.

[classicblue]

@SDSOverfiend if a game makes it to evo than its obviously more than descent so namco doesnt always screw up that bad.

[leinad131986]

god..this game sucks so bad...

[XoulsRainez]

Ew.

[ec3591]

What about throws?

[IIWeeaboo]

wtf they already patched it? lol

[FinalLifeG]

good shit Aris

[Rogond09]

So I've been off the wagon since SC2. How does Maxi feel in this game?

[SturrStruck]

@Rogond09 Maxi is top tier in this game

[ShiroKreuz]

He's just high tier, right ? i think he was A not S as far as the french tier list says.

[abdrone]

@SturrStruck Lol. The game has not even been out for a week yet. Besides that, Maxi has consistently been low tier. That isn't likely to change with SCV.

[SturrStruck]

@abdrone SHIT. I DIDN'T SAY THAT. FRIIIIIIEEEENDSSSS!

[kyo717]

@abdrone You serious about that last comment? You need to treat each new game like it has a blank state and not base tiers on past games.

[abdrone]

@kyo717

I'm not saying that he will not be top tier or that it is impossible for him to be top tier. What I'm saying is that the tier lists in general have not changed tremendously between the different SC games.

I agree with you that each game should be treated like a blank slate. It will be particularly interesting to see how the new critical gauge and addition of just guard will affect gameplay as we start to see more tournament level play.

[AvoidingthePuddle]

@ThaPoopa I got 1.01 and it still exists as far as I can tell.

[EdwardTheMagnificent]

It true this got patched already?

[insomnotek]

thats a big tv

[BelialRus]

Aris is the best player ever. Im a huge fan and as always hats off to your creativity and quick mind.

[welldone4]

lol @1:12 "and that's gay"

ahh my favorite term to use whenever i see something that's bs to me. lol

[Sablicious]

Too bad the game is a mash fest no-one uses GIs and hardly any guards in anyway.

[BrawlersUpTv]

haha...

[SugarCrusted]

So now that this is patched could you please put a huge annotation saying that it is indeed patched? I'm just worried about the games reputation too :D

[j4nicator]

i love how you show the fuzzy guard in action. But wait what is this???? you dont? well then why the fuck did you make the video and not show it?

[Megazone23]

The way to do this sounds like Fuzzy Guard in VF, except in VF you press down and this game you press Up.

I don't see why they need to patch this, can't you just throw them?

[charlienash87]

day -1 patch. way make stupid ass capcom option select bull shit namco. i thought you and snk could still make decent games. i'm gonna turn my head away from the last 2 tekkens sc3 and sc4 and hope this game will be good

[Uppercuts718]

This could make up for very cool matches!

[yaay0]

It's really an option select because the game is choosing the best option for you(block high or jump off the ground). Fuzzy guard refers to VF where if you tap down for a split second then let go you can avoid mids AND throws that happen on the same frame even though it appears as if you are crouching at the time when a mid is already out or you are standing while a throw is already out.

[puertorricanstar]

this is patched already thumbs up, heck in fact delete this video so it dosent ruin SC5 reputation

[KarnWaffle]

Does this fuzzy guard jump apply when the enemy attempts to grapple you?

[puertorricanstar]

@KarnWaffle patched

[ironboy89]

How about we wait,and see if the bug is game breaking?

I don't understand why this implies the game actually sucks.

[kukingina]

and this is why Soul Caliber stopped being a viable fighter since SC2

[puertorricanstar]

@kukingina fuzzy gaurd patched

[spiffythealien]

Project Soul should pay you. For real.

[Tferr00]

TRANSCENDING YEARS OF SEQUELS, A TALE OF DISAPPOINTMENT AND FAILURE ETERNALLY RERELEASED!

[puertorricanstar]

@Tferr00 fuzzy gaurd patched

[br000ly]

Good find!

[puertorricanstar]

@br000ly patched

[br000ly]

@puertorricanstar well,that was fast xD

[Zuukix]

It seems like the perfect moment to use your Critical Edge. Especially if it's a grabbing one. Bl

[KONPALegendz]

lol the video url FUAAAAAAAAAA

[sweatyourblood]

*cancels preorder*

[puertorricanstar]

@sweatyourblood fuzzy gaurd patched, keep your pre order

[EdwardTheMagnificent]

This seems really bad. I hope Namco patches this fast

[drSpacestation]

It seems like a slower low, soul crushing mids, delayed attacks, cancelling neutral attacks into guard, and grabs would overcome this, yeah?

[gc3k]

peachy

[DimentioXIII]

Why would you upload this...

[hwoarang43895]

@DimentioXIII why wouldnt you?

[mgbenz]

What's the chance that when people will adapt to this bug they will complain to hell when PS removes it?

It'll be wavedashing all over again.

[VirusChris]

@mgbenz

Better enjoy it while it lasts. From what I heard Legendary Souls mode is unbelievable cheap with the AI bosses as they always seem to register your input response and act accordingly against it. Fuzzy Guard might be useful if you hate losing over and over again to the cheap bosses.

[ShiroKreuz]

This shit has to go...Way too easy to counter everything but grabs.

[blackboxchopper]

How's the game though Aris? Might pick it up.

[Quadrupledragon]

lol @ people saying it's not a fuzzy guard.

[1GraveStar]

it's not new

it was possible in SCbd on psp

[hagane1989]

@MrPantshirt Didn't know you needed permission to use grabs but sure, here's an upvote

[Yosogoto]

I suppose the only way to punish this would be a low-high/mid string or something.

[LInsomnie]

lol

[zphilosphyAlex073088]

this needs to be fixed

[killerdoll89]

Well this is really game breaking! LOL

[Gonbebe]

@MrPantshirt I was thinking the same thing. Especially considering throws do chip damage now. Even still, this could allow you to evade a potential mixup within an attack string or stance.

[ThePowerBeard]

@MrPantshirt

if someone keeps getting hit by grabs, you have permission to spam grabs

[novriltataki]

@MrPantshirt WTF is a "permission" to spam grabs? lol@scrubs all over the place...

[MrPantshirt]

@novriltataki Says the obvious candyass

[ninjachipzanuff]

@MrPantshirt u mad?

[Dragonslayer9]

@novriltataki Tons of scrubs on youtube get thumbs up it seems. Very noticeable in marvel and ST videos.

[KKeo4leaR]

is that bdc i'm seeing or what is that movement being done at 1:06?

[ironboy89]

@trag13

Why in the world people flagging this as spam. This dude is right, this is correctly usage of fuzzy guard.

[trag13]

@ironboy89 Cause most of the new generation of players started fighting games in '09. lol.

[Zetaseventeen]

(option select not fuzzy guard)

[AvoidingthePuddle]

@Zetaseventeen This bug existed in Soul Calibur 2 arcade verA. Back then, it was named Fuzzy Guard and the Fuzzy Guard you know of did not exist yet. It was considered game breaking at that time and was patched out in arcade VerD. I'm sure Namco will patch this out of SC5 as well. Everyone needs to work together to make sure nothing slips through the cracks this time around.

[yamakiBR]

Thanks for sharing this info Aris... once every1 gets their hands on the game we can start thinking how to bait/counter it

[mugwhump666]

...I might be okay with this, depending on how it plays out. Like, if you can use a low attack to force the jump, then recover quickly enough to punish it.

Also, jumping over lows looks cool as hell.

[botheredbiskit]

Yeah thats an option select because you are combining block and jump in to one move and the cpu is choosing the best option.

[KowtowRobinson]

I need this fucking gameeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =(

[XcaliburMyght]

Fyi, that isn't fuzzy guard, thats Option Selecting..

[MrMiddleKick]

Hey Aris, any chance you'll be doing somekind of tutorials for this game ? I actually have no idea how mix ups work in SC and i feel the way you usually explain and break down gameplay mechanics in your videos could really help.

[AvoidingthePuddle]

@MrMiddleKick Yes, I do plan on doing tutorials in this game.

[manoftheleaf]

Also check if you can cancel some low attacks into high attacks or cancel it into Critical Edge/Break Edge attacks. I honestly think they should leave it in for now, see what the community comes up with and then go from there. Some people just think shit is broken because they are mindless, uncreative drones that can't think for themselves.

[RJay12291]

Well you should be able to just bait the jump and punish.

[AeolusMN]

@RJay12291 How will you "bait" this because the only time you will jump is when the actual low comes out. But this, unlike SSFIV, is something that just cannot stay in. You cannot take advantage of someone doing this OS, unlike SSFIV, there isn't any downside to this really.

[RJay12291]

@AeolusMN Well I'm pretty sure there's gonna be some 2 hit attacks that start low and then go into something else. So the first hit is just to force them to jump and the jump lag then gets punished by the 2nd hit. Or moves that can be canceled into another move even if there's no hit.

[omisril]

well at least you can be guard broken in this game

[I7G]

Wow, is this shit out already?... I just assumed it was later this year

[XxRAINISM]

@I7G Next Tuesday lol.

[manoftheleaf]

Does this work against attacks like Maxi's df A+K? because it hits low and high.

[XxRAINISM]

Damn you should delete this video lol.

[dapheenom]

@XxRAINISM No, everyone should forward this to @Daishi_CALIBUR, @Harada_TEKKEN, and @Filthierich on Twitter so they can patch this shit.

[jclarke90]

i hope a patch will be available for this hiccup ...

[nightterror53]

Damn man.... good lookout aris so does this mean mixups basically are irrelevant in this game now? lol

[AvoidingthePuddle]

@nightterror53 Some mix ups, yes.

[puertorricanstar]

@nightterror53 patched
