After playing an online match, check the Battlelog tab of your replays section. This keeps track of your last 8 online matches. Select the one you wish to share and select "Permanently Save", this will download the replay to your HDD. Afterwards, go to your local replays tab and press start instead of X. Let the game play the entire replay from start to finish.
Once the replay has concluded, exit the game and go to the Videos tab of the PS3 XMB interface. You will notice that you now have an .mp4 of your replay located in a new SoulCalibur folder. Using the new Video Upload tool provided in the latest 4.x PS3 firmware update, you can select your new SC5 video, enter your YouTube account info and the video will directly upload to your YouTube account.
Note that you cannot convert replay files that you did not create yourself. If you downloaded a replay from another SC5 player the game will not let you convert it to .mp4, the option simply isn't there.

PUBLIC OPEN SOURCE RAPHAEL VIDEO YOUTUBE CHANNEL:

Well i've created a youtube video account specifically for raphael matches, glitches, combo, traps or even artsy stuff that I intend to share access with pretty much this entire raphael community:

Wow, nice, aggressive Raph.
Maybe he's a bit too linear, but I sure like his style! Thanks for the vid.

On a small note... I can't help but wonder, why a tournament organized by Namco is using a.. um.. very old TV?
Just wondering.
 
Thanks for the intructions in the OP. I guess I have some videos worth posting.

I hope we see a lot of matches vs Pyrrah and Ivy. I have a hard time against them.
 
I have recently posted a bunch of videos of some online matches. They are not ranked. I could find only a few ranked matches, until now, and they haven't been as exciting as these I did post. I played as Raphael or a Raphael CaS in all of them:

Some SE dodging against Nightmare:

Funny fight vs Voldo... a lot of variety in it:

Some Prep4 ownage against Cervantes:

Very tight fight vs a skilled Natsu:

Punishing Leixia's string, with steps:

Plz note that these are online matches and in some cases the latency was a little bigger than usual. What I mean is that the fights would probably have a "higher level"displayed by both players, if it were offline.

I hope you enjoy it and I'd like suggestions :)
 
A few more:

Zoning and Wall Combo from Guard Burst, vs Xiba:

Getting owned by Siegfried's 88BB -_- Still a good fight, though:

I'm the real Raph in this very tight mirror match:

Stylish finish against Pyrrha Omega:

Nailing Pyrrha with Prep Bb(BE) from Prep4:

And if you guys got something against Ivy, plz post!

Hey, Fenro. Saw all your videos. Amazing. Very complete game.

I don't think I saw you use 8A+B. Do you actually dislike it, or did you just didn't happen to use it in these fights?

Also, for the Guard Bursts, I've noticed you use 6Bb(BE). Online the 88B is indeed quite hard to pull off. But I'd still prefer the 4B. Even if you have to hold the button, it's still quite viable for online. It does a little bit more of damage (3) and the extra hit will also fill your gauge a bit more. I gotta stop trying 88B online, btw.

In your fight against Devil Jin, one of the 88B didn't stun him. It's quite weird, similar to what happenned to a 66B of mine, once. And my opponent was also getting up.

I saw you prefer B over B+K, after 66A+B. I'll consider that to my game. Whiffing B+K can cost a fight... it's quite annoying.

I Find little use for this move because its awfully slow i18 and higher startup moves on neutral setting have to TC/TJ for me to utilize them or be just a plain wiff punish like 236B. I also dont use 4A+B and B+K i just dont like to read that much on my foe and take that kind of risk

It depends on what move i used to get the GB, for example if i get the break from 3B ive usually already held it to get to prep so i just finnish up with prep Bb(BE). I mostly use 4BPrepBb(BE) offline just to be on the safe side

I think you can shake off the 88B stun. not 100% sure on that, if i remember correctly in the championship match i had here in my country (first video on the thread) the Mitsurugi player shaked few 88B stuns i did.

I prefer B over B+K because it gives me more time to space and set up my OKI game


I like to think myself as a rather aggressive Raphael player. my play style is high risk/reward
I tend to always go for 22_88B / 11_77K for my OKI and every know and then altering with 66A+G/B+G.
I also do a side step animation on my throws to conceal my animation so they cant expect a throw (aka just running towards and throwing) so basically my throw input looks something like this on OKI (22_88->66A+G/B+G) its great way to make them think your doing a 22_88B and they are gladly trying to get it on block because it gives them a punish. 11_77K is neutral on block and isnt that big of a damage thats why people mostly try to get that 22_88B on block... and theres your chance to get that throw in.
 
Really good stuff Fenro. Definitely going to be implementing a few things I saw here. much appreciated

If you Guard Burst into Prep, there is time to go for SE B :)

Shocked. Gonna check it out. Btw, is there sure shakeable stun on this game? I haven't notice any. And I like this apparent absence. I'm not a fan of shaking.

I like your rationale for sidestepping prior to throws. I kinda do this, too, sometimes, but didn't think deeply about it as you did. Also, 11K neutral on block? What do you mean?

There's no shaking involved anymore. If a stun is "shakeable" you just have to hold guard to recover after the brief stun window.
 
Yeah, no shakable stuns at all.

When 88B hits someone teching that's apparently what happens, it doesn't stun them.
 
Two new videos i promised

Sotirislive [Astaroth] Vs. Fenro [Raphael]
DanLe123 [Pyrrha] Vs. Fenro [Raphael]
 
i'm not online, but is that the average lvl of an A5 pyrrha?
