I havn't got V yet. Gonna try if QS works when I get it. Just to be clear Iam talking about 4b+k, mabye I tried to step it in the wrong direction or something.

If it's any consolation, the move is even more useless now, since you can only perform it out of a Dread Charge, and it has a really long startup in addition, and it doesn't track at all.

4B+K used to annoy me back when I didn't know how to sidestep or GI properly, but now the move is so completely useless, I'm amazed Namco left it in at all.

Does anyone else think that his pistol is remarkably effective this time around? In SCIV it was a joke, but now it's startup is short enough that you could be able to punish long-range whiffs. Not to mention his CE, which is practically instantaneous, with infinite range. If your opponent is in front of you and doing anything other than stepping or crouching, they eat 50 damage to the face. Though from what I've seen that's actually rather weak. :/
 
guys let's not talk about each other unless you're talking how awesome I am ;P

NEwayz back on topic, to answer your question Slade yes B+K is now auto-GI instead of auto-Evade or auto-Teleport whatever. This has always been in the Soul Calibur series (well except SC4).
 
  • A+B Auto GI on max range gives an Unblockable like Animation which combos into double CE for 110 DMG!
Not sure if this was in the Auto GI Video...
 
Noob question. What is the input for iGDR? Is it more than just 214B? I feel like I get it randomly, is it simply speed as the main factor to pull it off?
 
Ok I was kidding about the babalook crap, I knew him and his gay friends before, "really were gay btw!" but it was a joke simply to him. ANYWHO...
I would like to know something. Why the hell is it that sometimes I'll see a flash from the moves off the weapons and sometimes no? It's like complete random flashes off the swords... I thought maybe it was for the Power but it's not. Also Is there really only 3 Just frames? iGDR, iGDR2~Launch Combo, and DC K B:B?

Oh nub question. I can't figure out the just guard. I've tryed Tapping G right on impact... not working...

It's a just frame for 214. The timing isn't really all that difficult. It's very very quick, but once you have it, shouldn't be too difficult to replicate. It's using 2 in a row that I'm struggling with, I get iGDR > followup > followup, which still seems to do 100 to 115ish anyway.

I think it could mean that it is a random counter hit or it could be that your meter has reached a full bar or a third of it. That's just a guess.

I'm interested in learning Cervantes; where do I start with him? (obviously referring to SCV)

The best you can do to learn is by reading the other sticky threads and the non-sticky one from docvizzo. We are still currently under the works since SC5 has been recently released.

I don't think ppl have the recording equipment but I have a few local friends who do; I'll see what I can do.

It's a 3-frame input if performed correctly I believe, enable the input display when you're practicing it. You should have 2, 1, then 4+B on the same frame. Sometimes if your input looks perfect but you get dread charge it's because you tried to iGDR too early and were still in recovery frames from a previous move, and sometimes.. idk. I've had the input display look perfect when I wasn't doing anything, and I still get dread charge instead of iGDR.

I've been trying to practice this but I just can't get it consistently... and I've never been competitive at fighting games so my execution isn't great. It's making me think of switching to someone else, but Cervantes is .. so awesome.
 
@ Franman. I don't think the random flashes come from a counter or from your power. I check it and it has nothing to do with either... Anyone else wanna give it a try?

The Question was : Why is it that there are flashes on weapons sometimes when you do them?

Btw still wanna know are there more then just the 3 Just frames?
 
hi, i hope this wasnt asked before, i had no time to read the thread and i didnt play sc3 and sc4.
can someone tell me what iGDR is and how its done?

iGDR is instant Geo de ray. You do 214B as fast as possible and he will light up white and fly across in a very fast speed. It's extremely unsafe, back throw punishable. Make sure when you do 214B, the 4 and the B must be pressed at the same time. This will require lots of practice but if you can hit this 90% of the time, you will win a lot of matches
 
hm ok so if its that unsafe and kinda hard to do, is it fast so u can use it to whiff/block punish stuff? or why is it that good?
 
It's an amazing whiff punisher, high-damage combo starter, and a key component in almost everything he does.
 
Anybody else notice iGDR gets stuffed by almost everything? I see somebody whiff BB or something of the sort, I do iGDR and get stuffed sometimes by the other B, which never used to happen in SC3/4. Weird
