I've tried doing this but i can't really seem to get the handle of this lol. I've tried to learn this because i normaly gaurd every move that is thrown at me whitch ends up breaking my guard. I've tried guard impacts, but they are way too risky. I'm not talking about the ones where it depletes your gauge i'm talking about tiras guard impacts that you have to time right. Do you think you can show me how to guard impact online sometime? If you can send a message to me.
You should keep in mind that guard impact usually only work against a certain type of move. For example, Tira's Gloomy Mood B+K GI only works against vertical attacks, and I'm not sure but I believe it's only for vertical attacks that come from above.
You could spend some time in training to check which GI counters which type of attack. Also, the type specificness is another reason GI is risky.
I think Namco really effed up for doing this. Come one, what kind of a geek do you have to be to master this sheeet?! unfrigginbuleevable. I guarantee that only a few people will be able to learn, and utilize this. What a waste.
with this move namco wasn't pandering to the casual crowd. This is an advanced technique that will probably heavily influence the high level tournament scene. it's not always just about the 12 year olds who play xbox live..
@norik434 Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. If you mistime the forward tap in 3rd strike, you are wide open, hence risk. This seems like no risk.
Guard impact: X-box 360: back + Right Trigger. (At least, that's the case with all charcters I practiced with so far.)
Also, some characters have a guard impact move that does not use up meter. Pyhrra, for example, can press Right Buffer, however, these non-meter GI's seem to have a smaller timing window.
In my experience, Just Guards are practically useless online due to lag. If you have a 5 bar connection, great! But I'm lucky to get 2 bars.
@threewiseman1 Check your own connection and try setting your setting to 4+ bars and local region. This is game has been acclaimed for having an excellent net code and it's true.
Yeah, I've actually been having better luck over the last couple of days. The biggest part of my problem is that there rarely seems to be anyone in my country playing. It's weird because I believe that the game sold well in Australia.
But at least now I'm getting a fairly consistant connection of 2-3 bars with players in Asia and the U.S.
But I realise my connection issues aren't the games fault, it's purely our crap internet in Aus.
Can you give some advice for the timing? I get the like 50% of the time but not always when I expect to so I can't really go into an attack cause I thought it would normal guard
AWESOOOME!! I have been trying to figure it out for hours!!! I was feeling terrible seeing how the CPU in Legendary Souls did it all the time. How the hell you figure it out?? THANK YOU!! I got it but the timing is very odd
The Just guard is a good defensive tactic. However, whenever there is a slight lag it makes it obsolete. Guard Impact is good for more so mid-air attacks. Rebound gives you a Major advantage. Just guarding is a little difficult to use online play.
Obviously you find Just Guard to be a viable defensive option. I honestly don't see how you would use it at all. My best Soul Calibur buddy and I (and we're pretty experienced with Soul Calibur) sat in practice and tried over and over again to catch even the most simplistically-timed moves, and we couldn't actually succeed one time out of a hundred, the timing is so strict.
Is there something we're missing, or do we just suck that bad?
@TheFlimsyman its not as simple to get the hang of because it requires precise timing, you just got to pay more attention to the right than you do left, I tried it and got 3 in a row after a few trys, if mastered its extremely devastating in matches.
Hey Aris, if I may offer a small criticism: it seems you're in need of practice when it comes to reading the script off the paper/screen or whatever. However, I personally think that in your next professional style video you'd be better off "winging it" while keeping the basic framework (all points to be dictated) in mind, like you seem to do in your reviews and podcasts, because you seem to have a knack for public speaking+articulating key points in that ..." spontaneous" fashion.
@CraigBarduk I appreciate that and I agree. The truth is, there was no script. I was just like, wing it, and try to be professional. I'll try to do better next time.
@AvoidingthePuddle HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH dude this Game was SUCH A FAIL it turns out that the main characters in this GAME ARE THE MOST HATED FUCJING CHARACTRS so this Game sold as Shit pAT and his sister ARE GAY GIRLY FUCKIGN FAGS no one lieks them KAZUYA MISHIMA would have POPPED ptas sisters cherry and make her inocent Pussy bleed when SHE LOSES HER CHERRY! faggot SIEGFRIED IS FUCKIN GAY everyone iin this game was gay seriously
@AvoidingthePuddle SFXT will sell a million more copies I LOOK kind of like Kzuzya so IM CHEERING FOR SFXT so GO fuck yourself SC FANBOY I have your money ON MARCH 6th and Your gonna get cumed in the mouthBY us kazuya fans Yoshinori ono and Seth Killian have your sister and mom and we will Play som good fuckig games with them
@AvoidingthePuddle I'll have to fight my friend on this game, he played it for 1 week, so I wanted to see what was the new guard and how it work, it's pretty clear now so I say good job, It's pretty clear to me to how the new guard work, thanks.
Just practicing this with nightmare. it is actually not too hard if you get the timing down. example i only got nightmare's (down back, B) and i know when to pull the just guard. Now for all of his attacks and the rest of the cast. :P
Not to mention ivy cant control her sword anymore but she's like sc2 which is weird. Everybody now has like 5 move on there move sheet (Exaggeration), and unlike sc2 sometime's side stepping (which they glorified) don't help. i watch 1 vid on Team soul and found that to diffrenent teams made 1&2 vs 3&4(the weaklings) but on this one they combined (yea like the first team really needed help..........
lol......all though i think ur argument is valid to some extent...... i really think there going to have to patch it a little slower FOR NAMCO TO GAIN THERE RESPECT BACK......personally i cant wait till online opens up in there region so i can play the people how made it and make them feel bad and like they made a mistake infact i think the people that made the game are the guy's that use to get all there quarters taken at the arcade now were paying for it..
thanks , i new to sc series, and was wondering what guard impact means when it reduces meter . does each character have its own gi move? what exactly happens during the parry? is there a universal button and direction input
jg is so cool i cant wait till everyone learns how to do it its amazing they added jg in to counter the crit gadge becuase ppl didnt like it in sc4 so they added it to help gi will always be in the game some unblockebales come from gi, the only thing i hate is that it takes up meter with it shouldnt but gg nice video and everyone practce and enjoy the game =]
Well done Project Soul, you're systematically ruining one of the few remaining good fighting games out there. If you block successfully you're punished and now performing guard impacts has now become pointless. I like change as much as the next guy but not when it ruins things. Defence is just as skillful as offence but you're cheapening the skill it takes by ruining great SC features such as guard impacts. I'll have to accept the fact that you lost it after SC3.
So, in Soul Calibur 4 they went out of their way to punish people who are good at the skill of blocking, now they're punishing the people who are good at the skill of parrying (guard impact)? Are they determined to drive away all of their fans or something? I'll never guard impact on SCV because it's just not worth it, they might as well have removed it all together. Why must they ruin good aspects instead improving them? ARGH!
Nice one bud....its the way forward....people get pissed with change but it's the only way to move forward...fuckin hell I sound like a shitty business exec :S
However that other video with they gay JB is a impressive find.......... which make's my prediction on SCV facebook (when they deleted my post) is gonna make a lot of grab battles and that can make a fight really wak..... it's sad but a win is a win they made it this way to please scrubs.....
lol.....pro's wil be pro's always studying you forgot to mention low attack can be JG.....this is wear it get's difficult are u willing to take any damage that could cost u the match by doing this new guard.. so far from what i now about it in which i studied is ur timing has to be outstanding if it can be buffered prove it online when the tide is this Even cheaper in this game namco is calling quality....this one is not for the faintest of hearts.....
I just discovered that you can P-link your G-input. If you P-link A+B+G out of a regular G you'll get double the inputs without your character performing a move. This effectively doubles your timing window. Never thought I'd say this but:
Dont know what type of controller you're using (I use a TE stick) but it might be that you're not performing the P-link correctly. Check your inputs in other games to see if you're correctly P-linking. Dont know what else could be causing it.
@BoiGamer89 AND ALL YOU SC FANS WILL BE PUT IN A PRISON CAMP WATCHING YOUR MOMS babies be taken away form us fucking raping them making thm give Borth and we and Kazuya will Penetrate the Little new born babys pussy
@origindirewolf Basicly you press (at least) 2 buttons in rapid succession. You hit the 2 buttons at almost the same time. The cpu will register the first button press twice instead of once if you do it right.
i have a quick question how do you set the time to be unlimited? because when I'm versing against my friends I always take off the timer.please i would greatly appreciate it =)
Thanks I was getting frustrated the other night when I started to lose to people attacking out of every mix up this is truly the best solution from moving from SCIV to SCV I really appreciate this tutorial.
is there a similar option to the clash system like in SC II where you could denie enemy attacks? for example when u attack at the same time with an vertical as ur opponent does with an horizontal? and i also want to know about the timing of JD is it the same like lowparry in tekken6br or even a smaller timewindow, cuz it seems u can spam it right away from timing? anyway thumps up for this vid!
Now that I know the basics, its just practicing on different characters against different commonly used moves of different characters lol. I actually just just guarded an unblockable 1B from yoshimitsu! Hope this helps somebody!!!!
Ok I finally figured this out. The input does need to be super fast. Basically your blocking shield or weapon needs to be in place to block via a very fast button press and release right as the weapon is about to hit you. For example in order to block yoshimitsu's standing BB attack with patroklos you actually need to tap block before yoshimitsu ever swings his sword... which is... hard to do. but predictable fighters and spammers will now have there asses lit up by an experienced player!
I went into practice mode and tried this so many thousand times and it isn't working. What is fuzzy guard, and there's a patch? Will it become possible once it's fixed?

Just frames a tough enough when you're attacking. Having to time them with an opponent's attack is just too much. Even in the examples in this video are done in reaction to slow, drawn out attacks. It'll be interesting to see if even the pros are good enough to use them on a regular basis. Had SC5 not gone and fucked up guard impacts it could have been one of the best games in the series.
Can I suggest a tutorial teaching Tekken/SF players how to play SC? If you show them the similarities between SC and other games, and what stuff they can 'bring' to SC...maybe that will help.
This just made the game much more interesting to me. Thanks for sharing. I had no idea this was even a part of the game system as there is no tutorial (that I noticed half-asleep after purchase) for the game. I was lamenting the loss of OG Guard Impacts for nothing it seems.
Thanks I am trying to get into the soul calibur series and i'm trying to learn everything from basics and advanced play would appreciate it if you upload more on SC
Now that I've gotten a chance to practice this myself, it's a lot different feel than how I'd figure it'd be. It feels like you need to hit guard way early for it to work. It's has roughly the same window as a GI, but rather than having those five frames sit somewhere in the middle of when the attack hits you, they're almost all at the beginning. You need to hit and release G fast and about 4 or so frames away from contact.
just subscribed! i need help i need to know if you or anyone can teach me im just doing the slide for just guard and it works barely. if i block (tap) it doesnt register or im too slow. can you or anyone please tell me how you are doing it? im doing something wrong my thumb hurts lol
great vid. I disagree that it will replace guard impact. Its VERY hard to time. like ridiculous. what am I missing? I get 1 out of every 50 attempts maybe.
@rustyrayz1 im getting that too its really hard to time and i was a pro at guard impact. it does require stricter timing. the gi uses meter but its safer in my opinion. the window is bigger. hopefully after much practice it will become 2nd nature. as of now, man its hard to do.
Thanks a lot. I had no idea GI ate the meter. Does it eat the meter even when the GI succeeds? Do you know if the attacks that include a special GI do eat the meter, too?
FUCK EZIO FUCK SIEEGY THEY LOOK LIKE SAND NIGGGERS SIEEGY IS UGGLY annd ssooo OLD DONT CALL SOUL CALIBUR FAGGOT FUCKER MAKE FUN F THE WORD FAGGOT il ROOOCK YOUR WOLD and bonk your sister at a PARTTY
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PATROKLOS ROOOOOOOOOOOCKS and hitler LLOVES PATORKLOS SO DOES JAPAN yeahhhhhhhhh WE HAVE ALL YOUR MONEY COCKSUCKERS SO STOP CAOMPLAINING ABOUT SOUL CALIBUR 5 OR MY PATROKLOS ALEXANDER SEXY BOY -_- HES MY HERO
@Hyrca youll think twice when using this(just guard) online thats all i can say. it takes ALOT of practice and the timing is like virtua fighter timing. HARD. its free to do, but if you miss, you are gonna be wasted. the meter sucking guard impact is alot safer. its a trade off. i think only pros will use this online.
Yeah GI just takes the guess work out of mixup options. Though if you make a correct read with a Just Guard then you can punish instead of just stopping rushdown.
@blackdain But GI punishes too! It's guaranteed damage with a critical edge as well as when your opponent doesn't have meter to burn. And even when you think they will GI back you can use mind games to bait a missed GI and punish.
I was wondering, can you just guard a just guard punish/counter?
And can you just guard Ultimates (the 236236A+B+K)?

@blackman6270 what's a P-link? Please tell me.
origindirewolf 2 weeks ago
@origindirewolf Basicly you press (at least) 2 buttons in rapid succession. You hit the 2 buttons at almost the same time. The cpu will register the first button press twice instead of once if you do it right.

@xThornMK3 when it goes green that means that you have broken their guard, and it leaves them vulnerable for you to attack.

arnettj121 3 weeks ago
is there a similar option to the clash system like in SC II where you could denie enemy attacks? for example when u attack at the same time with an vertical as ur opponent does with an horizontal? and i also want to know about the timing of JD is it the same like lowparry in tekken6br or even a smaller timewindow, cuz it seems u can spam it right away from timing? anyway thumps up for this vid!

GI parries high and low and always give you frame advantage, so it won't be obsolete.
DragonfallCIA 3 weeks ago
Now that I know the basics, its just practicing on different characters against different commonly used moves of different characters lol. I actually just just guarded an unblockable 1B from yoshimitsu! Hope this helps somebody!!!!
rustyrayz1 3 weeks ago
Ok I finally figured this out. The input does need to be super fast. Basically your blocking shield or weapon needs to be in place to block via a very fast button press and release right as the weapon is about to hit you. For example in order to block yoshimitsu's standing BB attack with patroklos you actually need to tap block before yoshimitsu ever swings his sword... which is... hard to do. but predictable fighters and spammers will now have there asses lit up by an experienced player!

I went into practice mode and tried this so many thousand times and it isn't working. What is fuzzy guard, and there's a patch? Will it become possible once it's fixed?

Just frames a tough enough when you're attacking. Having to time them with an opponent's attack is just too much. Even in the examples in this video are done in reaction to slow, drawn out attacks. It'll be interesting to see if even the pros are good enough to use them on a regular basis. Had SC5 not gone and fucked up guard impacts it could have been one of the best games in the series.
kotogoto00 3 weeks ago
@kotogoto00 Well, parries in 3s are pretty hard too, but the pros can do them almost on reaction.

Can I suggest a tutorial teaching Tekken/SF players how to play SC? If you show them the similarities between SC and other games, and what stuff they can 'bring' to SC...maybe that will help.

This just made the game much more interesting to me. Thanks for sharing. I had no idea this was even a part of the game system as there is no tutorial (that I noticed half-asleep after purchase) for the game. I was lamenting the loss of OG Guard Impacts for nothing it seems.

Now that I've gotten a chance to practice this myself, it's a lot different feel than how I'd figure it'd be. It feels like you need to hit guard way early for it to work. It's has roughly the same window as a GI, but rather than having those five frames sit somewhere in the middle of when the attack hits you, they're almost all at the beginning. You need to hit and release G fast and about 4 or so frames away from contact.

just subscribed! i need help i need to know if you or anyone can teach me im just doing the slide for just guard and it works barely. if i block (tap) it doesnt register or im too slow. can you or anyone please tell me how you are doing it? im doing something wrong my thumb hurts lol

great vid. I disagree that it will replace guard impact. Its VERY hard to time. like ridiculous. what am I missing? I get 1 out of every 50 attempts maybe.
rustyrayz1 3 weeks ago
@rustyrayz1 im getting that too its really hard to time and i was a pro at guard impact. it does require stricter timing. the gi uses meter but its safer in my opinion. the window is bigger. hopefully after much practice it will become 2nd nature. as of now, man its hard to do.

Soo.. just guarding is like parrying But without almost any risks and much easier to do? dont you think this is kinda game breaking?
Hyrca 3 weeks ago
@Hyrca youll think twice when using this(just guard) online thats all i can say. it takes ALOT of practice and the timing is like virtua fighter timing. HARD. its free to do, but if you miss, you are gonna be wasted. the meter sucking guard impact is alot safer. its a trade off. i think only pros will use this online.

Yeah GI just takes the guess work out of mixup options. Though if you make a correct read with a Just Guard then you can punish instead of just stopping rushdown.
blackdain 3 weeks ago
@blackdain But GI punishes too! It's guaranteed damage with a critical edge as well as when your opponent doesn't have meter to burn. And even when you think they will GI back you can use mind games to bait a missed GI and punish.
