Hey, so I've pretty much been playing as Taki since I fell in love with Soul Calibur 2. I've never really had problems fighting people since I didn't play online and only played against my brother, who only really plays as Ivy. Then I decided to start buying xbox live a week ago and realized how flawed my playing is against really anyone but my brother. So I've been practicing a lot. But 4 characters still really push my buttons and are hard to think through for me. One is Mitsu but there's already a thread about that and it's helped me some. There are three others though:
The first is Cassandra. It seems like whenever I fight a good Cassandra, I can't even get a move off let alone a combo. Whenever she finishes hitting me with one thing, she somehow gets me right into another combo before I can blink. There seems to be no time for me to punish her.
The second is Voldo. The good voldos i play against are constantly moving and I'm not sure what range to stay at since he has good short and long range moves, or what kind of openings to look for for attacks, since he can do well with his back turned and even sometimes when he's on the ground.
The last is Lizardman. Normally, I'm fine against him, but whenever he goes into that crawling state, i kind of freeze up. My low attacks don't seem to be fast enough to hit him before he gets a move off, and he keeps using that rolling thing. So sometimes I would use stalker to get behind him, but he uses the backwards rolling move too, which is reaaallly damn annoying.
Please help! I really want to improve, and I know you guys can help :)
