[08] Mercenary
Not that I know where this should be, but I feel I should share my persona tactics for everyone that needs help.
I always set my buttons as shown (For Xbox 360):
A-A+B+K
B-K
X-A
Y-B
RB-A+B
LB-B+K
LT-G
RT-A+K
I find the guard to use easier like this as it's moe easier to recover and counter. In any case, ABK is muc more useful than just doing CE and BEs. It can be used for combos as well and is quite useful for doing long winded combos when you can just keep hitting ABK. While other combos are of course not able to b performed by this mode (Jin's 10-hit combo), it's still quite useful in any case. Another thing is as well to remember your throws. Throwing breaks through guards but also can be deflected. You can deflect any by holding G and continously pressing A or B. However, it depends on what throw they do which depends on your success. Also, low attacks are evident to break through your high defence and vice versa. Just know that you have to balance between offence and defence. Staying on defence will give countless oppurtunities for yur opponent to bat you. As of staying on offence, for if you keep being blocked then their counters will sting. If you see a good opputurnity then don't hesitate; take it! Obviously, depending on your style depends on how you should play, but if you play wrong then don't be surprised that an experienced opponent will best you. Eg. Getting Astaroth to kepp hitting your enemy is going to be a grave mistake, since he's slow.
Another thing to consider is to learn all your soul's moves. Mix your style up with different moves an you owon't be studied easily. Use different moves for every situation and you should be on your way to expertise. After all, spamming with onemove will get you defeated by the more experienced players. Never give your opponent a chance to study you, mix him up and the battle will be yours if you focus and go the right way of defeating them. Study, attack, repeat. Guard impacts are also useful, which can be done by Away+ABK. This uses one meter but parries the opponent readying them for a good attack. Some characters have auto GIs in their moves but are't always as effective as a normal one. Also, if an opponent does kepp blocking and deflecting attacks, then use powerful or break attacks (the lightning ones) to catch them off guard and stun them. Unblockable attacks are also there for a reason. That's all for no, tell me what you think and I may do more. Samsara!
