Go tell that to the soulcalibur.com forums, or Soul Calibur FAQ writers, or anyone that wants to discuss Soul Calibur moves
Last I checked at least, these were not soul calibur forums, but the evercrest forums 
Not everyone here speaks their speak. HEre, you may have to explain your terms...
Oh, and Snoota? the 27465:bqqqkahhhba is a great combo for Hulk. [ 09-02-2003: Message edited by: Falaanla Marr ]

This one time, at Sentow, Maybe camp:
Okay, let's go ahead and get all this said.THE BUTTONS AND JOYSTICK
A = horizontal attack
B = vertical attack
K = kick
G = guard7 8 9
4 N 6
1 2 3
The numbers correspond to the directions on the joystick. So 66 denotes double-forward, 214 is a quarter-circle back, and so on. 5 is sometimes abbreviated as N (neutral), which is what I personally prefer.COMMON ABBREVIATIONS
GI = guard impact
GB = guard break
FC = fully crouched
WS = while standing
ST = stance change
QCF(B) = quarter circle forward or back, respectively (usually abbreviated with the numerical system, though)
HCF(B) = half circle forward or back (ditto)
G-cancel = sometimes put in a "special properties" section of command lists; this means you can cancel the move by pressing G. Most unblockables have this property, along with a handful of regular moves.PUTTING IT TOGETHER
+ means to make the input together (A+G for throwing, for example)
, means to push the buttons in succession. Duh
~ OR lowercase then uppercase means to quickly push the buttons in succession (like Mitsi's K~B or kB; Namco seems to prefer the small/large system)
[] means the input is optional
() means it's an alternate way of inputting the move
: means the input has to made during a specific frame or frames of animation (usually the frames where the move would hit and do damage; incidentally, this is sometimes called a "just frame" move)
* OR input in bold means that you have to hold the button
Pretty good for the most part. Except that [] denotes a hold. Bolding also works but sometimes it isn't a valid way to do it, for example in a pure text enviroment. Also you forgot _ which denote two optional presses. Kinda like 8WR 2_8B. The move could either be down 8WR 2B or 8WR 8B.
...
Okay, so the game is decent, omg. ;(
I'd say Taki or Talim are my favorites at the moment, I also like Kilik too. For once I can actually beat my brother at a game, but we're still in the "wtf does this button do" mode.

I like Sophitia, although Taki and Ivy are ok too. I can't bloody use Voldo for shit though... i r the suck.
Hell, I button mashed my way through hard with Voldo

With the amount of trips and ways to hold volda back with Seung mina it's pretty fair when I play using her, but when I go up against him with Talim, it's not pretty. Usually the only chance I get is to either GB, B+G, and 8K for a good ring out. GI, 8B, 2KA is the only chance at a non ring-out victory i get, as I can usuallly link up some pretty rough damage from there.
(As an afterthought, sorry to all of the non soul calibur freaks who have no idea what I just said.) [ 09-03-2003: Message edited by: DS ]
