영상에 보이듯이 소울칼리버는 시리즈 대대로 전통을 지킨 소울 차지 시스템을 가지고 있다.


소울칼리버6의 경우 소울 차지 시스템이 가장 잘 다듬어졌다. 6편의 소울 차지를 간단하게 설명하자면,  게이지 한 칸을 소비해서 캐릭터를 초사이언처럼 강화 시키고 제한 시간 동안 기술 추가 및 변화 시키는 시스템이다.


하지만 고전 소울칼리버는 6편처럼 게이지 시스템이 없으며 한 순간 기를 모아서 몇몇 기술을 잠깐 강화 시키는 개념이 강하다.


이 글은 내가 최근 즐기고 있는 소울칼리버2를 기준으로 작성했다.



A+B+K를 동시 입력하면, 캐릭터가 기를 모으는 듯한 움직임과 함께 이펙트가 나타난다.


소울 차지는 총 3단계가 있으며 기를 오래 모을수록 무기를 감싸는 오라 색깔이 달라지고 강화되는 기술이 늘어난다.


3단계까지는 대충 1.5초 정도 모으는 듯. 가드(G)를 눌러서 원하는 단계에 캔슬할 수 있다. 차지 중에 느리게 이동은 가능.


소울 차지는 공격을 하거나 시간이 몇 초 지나면 바로 사라진다. 소울 차지 영향을 받는 기술을 파악해야 하고 나름 순발력이 필요한 시스템.



소울 차지 1단계(노란색) - 소울 차지를 시작하자마자 바로 가드(G) 입력


공격에 카운터 속성 부여 + 일부 기술 가드 브레이크 기능 추가.



소울 차지 2단계(녹색) - 소울 차지를 끝까지 모으지 않고 어느 정도 모아서 가드(G) 입력


모든 공격에 15% 데미지 추가 + 카운터 속성 부여 + 가드 브레이크 가능 기술이 더 늘어남.



소울 차지 3단계(파란색) - 캔슬하지 않고 끝까지 소울 차지


모든 기술 데미지 40% 추가 + 카운터 속성 부여 + 가드 브레이크 가능 기술 더 늘어남 + 일부 기술이 가드 불가능으로 변함.



소울 차지를 하지 않은 노말 상태.

(상대 가드가 무너지지 않음. 프레임 변화 없음.)


소울차지 1단계 모으고 가드 브레이크 기능이 생긴 기술 사용.

(분홍색 이펙트와 함께 상대 가드가 무너지고 경직이 생겨서 빠른 기술로 반격 가능.)


소울 차지 2단계는 가드 브레이크 기술이 늘어남.


소울 차지 3단계로 일부 기술을 가드 불가능하게 바꿔서 공격한 모습. 가드가 전혀 불가능함.


사용팁 - 3단계까지 모으지 말고 1단계까지만 사용해도 충분함. 욕심을 조금 더 부려서 2단계 사용해봐도 되지만, 3단계는 격투 게임 특성상 거기까지 모으기엔 비효율적이라...

참고로 세르반테스는 소울차지 3단계까지 가면 3b어퍼컷 후 b를 또 누르면 추가타가 나감.

*Glossary*

-Buffer= The act of entering the command for a move during the execution of

another move.

-Wake-up= The art of pressuring a downed opponent

-Mix-up= A simple series of attacks, which is designed to keep your opponent

guessing.

-Whiff= A failed or missed strike.

-Tracking= A move's ability to stay locked on target.

-Frames= Soul Calibur 2 runs at 60-frames a second. Frames express the speed of

all of animations.

-Counter Hit= Interrupting an enemy's attack with your own attack. CH's inflict

more damage and produce added effects like knock-back ability or stuns.

-Natural Combo= A canned (or guaranteed) string that combos on normal or counter

hit. (Thanks to zigmover21 for definition)-Clean hit= When an attack hits at

very close range.

-Shallow hit= When an attack hits from mid to far range.

-Post Guard Impact= An unsuccessful, missed GI.

-Step= Performed by tapping 1_2_3_4_6_7_8_9 once. Sometimes it'll evade incoming

attacks if timed correctly. Afterwards, you should strike with a quick attack.

-Instant Full Crouch (iFC)= A special technique that'll allow you to access the

FC mode by pressing 2G mainly during a G-cancel or right after you're attack has

been GI'd.


*Notes*

-You can only AC after any time you've been hit while in the air.

-DOS: The stun that'll cause your enemy hunch over and then slowly fall to the

ground. It has many good follow-ups, but there's one disadvantage. DOS's can be

escaped by holding G and then inputting five directional inputs.

-After you GI your opponent, you have the advantage in attacking them first, but

they can still reverse GI your attack. When you are the one being GI'ed, you

cannot immediately block the incoming attack, but can still reverse GI.

-8-Way-Run= There are two different ways to perform an 8WR. You can hold the

direction you want to run or double-tap the direction. Both have the same

animations, but holding it is better suited for the actual movement of running

in the direction, while double-tapping will allow you to both run around faster

and execute 8WR attacks much faster (which adds to the amount of combos you can

do).

*Soul Charge Notes*

-To do a normal Soul Charge, press A+B+K.

-There are 3 different levels of Soul Charges.  Each level has a different color

and each level has special abilities.


Soul Charge level 1 (light green): The quickest of the 3 charges.

Press G immediately after pressing A+B+K. Any attack you do does normal damage,

but several attacks in this charge level have a Guard Break ability.  The charge

lasts 3 seconds.


Soul Charge level 2 (darker green): Press G or interrupt the charge with an

attack when your character's weapon is a darker green. Anything you could do

with a level 1 charge you can do in a level 2 charge.  However, there are

several attacks ONLY in a level 2 charge that gain a Guard Break.  The charge

lasts about 3.5 seconds.  Also, all attacks are 15% stronger.


Soul Charge level 3 (blue): The slowest of the 3 charges. You have to wait until

the charge is over in order to use a level 3 charge.  Anything possible in lower

charges can be done in a level 3 charge.  However, there are a few attacks that

become unblockable (SCUB).  Also, all attacks are 40% stronger and are

considered Counter Hits.  The charge lasts 4 seconds.


-When using a Soul Charge, any attacks done to your character count as

Counter Hits, so try blocking attacks instead of fighting back with your own

when you're about to get hit.

-Soul Charges can be used as bait for attacks from your opponents (and also the

other way around, which makes the Soul Charge rather risky).

-Quick level 1 charges are good for an unpredictable offense.

-There's a big gap that allows you to do a level 2 charge while charging.

-The charge effect goes away if you block an attack, hit the enemy with your own

attack, your enemy blocks one of your attacks, or if you get hit by an enemy

attack.

-You can move in any direction while charging.

-If your character jumps up and gets hit in the air while in the Soul Charge

state, the Soul Charge will still be in effect, but there's a high chance that

the charge will be gone by then.

-If you GI an attack while in the Soul Charge state, the charge will still be in

effect.-SCUBs cannot be blocked, but they can be repelled with a Guard Impact.

-Certain (probably unlisted) attacks can be done only during a Soul Charge.

-Soul Charges can either help you win the battle or lose, so use this ability

wisely!

*Other Stuff*


-Soul Charge Glitch:  To do the Soul Charge glitch first, do any FC or WS

attack, then Soul Charge, and then press 2A+G_2B+G.  It will look like your

character is doing a Soul Charge, but it doesn't stop charging.  The bad thing

about this is that it doesn't act like an actual Soul Charge because you don't

get any advantage out of it (GBs, SCUBs, SC enabled attacks, and added attack

power aren't active), but you still take all hits as counter hit damage.


Commands: Any FC or WS attack, A+B+K, 2A+G_2B+G


-Soul Charge Cancels: Soul Charge Cancels vary from character to character. As

the name implies, a SCC cancels the lag of an attack or cancels the attack

completely. Some SCCs require accurate timing of input commands. Here's a list

of some Soul Charge Cancels (mainly only telling you what attack to use- inputs

for Soul Charge vary[some are JFs]):
