Soul Calibur IV – Six Character Advanced Combo Video

Dammit, I saw the picture of Amy and immediately thought she was confirmed for SCV, haha xD

im waitin for yun seong and zasalamel

combos that don’t last 5 minutes. great stuff

Hardstyle is fucking gay. Real talk. Nonetheless pretty entertaining. I’ve only played SC @ a casual level, I had no idea combos to this extent could be done.

Also, Tira’s combo notations, lmao

Wubcore? Seriously? Though this does make me wish wall-carrying wasn’t mostly for ring-outs in this game.

I remember a time when I used to do easy mode, half health, lizardman combos all the time and felt like a boss… Until I met a player who actually knew how to shake stun. Was a sad day.

Excapable combos are not hype.

This game fucking sucks.

I was going to say why is everyone hating on soul calibur combos, they are the best, but then I watched this video. One thing I do know is SOul Calibur 1 & 2, And this video here is being played as if it’s MvC, soul calibur combos are not about using several moves repeatedly. SC has a moveset which is like a story that unfolds, and that’s why people think the game is for button bashers. The moves are easy to pull out becuase of th evast number of moves and variations, the execution i sthe easy part, it’s th esequence timing and route that you take that’s the hard part. And like people said you can move out of those combos shown in the video, and thats the point, SC is about mix ups, you can’t repeat a move becuase it’s so easy to roll away or even move whilst you are being juggled in the air, so it’s important that your comnos are constantly evolving. 
The beauty of SC is that you don’t even hav eto use the same move mor ethan once if you want to perform a hit in the same place, you can perform so many different lows, from variations of sweeps, to slashes to pokes etc. It’s like MvC but in the standard format, whereas MvC has variation in tags SC manage sto keep the variation within the attacks whilst only having 2 attack buttons, thats the elegance of the game. MvC adds featues but struggles to keep them to one character, a low attack is a punch or a sweep, maybe with a direction input for variation. MvC has alot of button bashing capability, but in the right hands the game is an intense strategy based game. 
SC seems like an easy game, but it’s the most in depth game out there, just look at the command list. And those aren’t combos they are target combos, just Like in SF there are moves that are only available in a sequence, so once you have ben amazed by the quantity of what looks like a heap of combos, imagine them added with the actual combos, there are infinite possabilities. Maybe not inifnite, maybe 5 less than infinite, but it’s crazy when you hear people talk about capcom rebalancing Sf and now ryu can axe kick into a dragon punch, that would get los in SC, it has real combos, and ones that last long but don’t leave you feeling cheated, becuase you hav ebeen juggled in the corner, and then had an animation which the other player is technicaly not even doing the move just activating it, to end the round.

LEt’s face it, SC is the realest game. Real fighting, no fireballs, the fireworks are there just to mak ethe moves look pretty, the fireworks aren’tthe move. The main thing is the jumps are realistic, you don’t jump over someones head. SF has not eveolved, it’s just been dressed up. SOul calibur i sthe only real £d fighting game out there. Think about it, SF can’t keep this 2d approach up for much longer, we should be able to at least side step, and the focus is moving more away from fighting and more into space invaders. SC is about fighting and it has all the mechanics based on reality. Tekken moves akwardly and seem ssluggish, SC is smooth and looks great, an dthe moves and gameplay are amazoing, and most importantly it succeeds at being 3d, it is the king of fighters. I will always love SF and it will always be my favourite, but SC is the natural successor.

The guy who made this video doesn’t understand how to escape combos… Most of this isn’t going to work against someone with a functioning brain and knowledge of system mechanics
