Question about a character glowing white for a second?

[Dushbadge]

When I play, sometimes either I string another second move causing my character to glow white for a split second. I'm not sure what it is at all but it's cool. There's also times with Cervantes, Sophitia or Voldo. If I do the motion in a certain way they do that same exact move except they glow white. I'm unaware of the benefits for Sophitia doing that but I know with cervantes his 214B makes him execute that drill move faster. I forgot Voldo's move... 66B or A? It causes a crumple state or something.

Thats a Just Frame. When certain moves are performed with precise timing on input, your character flashes white for a brief second.

A Just Frame?

Edit: Nevermind, I noticed the notation thread in Soul Calibur Tactics and read about Just Frames. Thanks for telling me what it is!

In short - a JF is something that is input at a specific frame or frame range. Some of em occur on slide input moves, like Mitsu's kB. If you perform :kB instead , he flashes white for a brief sec. Some of them occur after the initial input.

Benefits of JF include having frame advantage, and doing more damage.

Some JF moves arent listed in the command list in-game, so it is helpful to check out the Frame Data for your characters in 8WR.
