Speaking of Xhianghua, a good tip for people that are trying to pick her up is that online, a lot,
a lot of players online don't react to 66BB with the break attack.
If you have the meter it's a free CE every time they try to block, have yet to experiment a bit further with what other opportunities this might give you.
Of course, if they do you're fucked since I've seen it leads to LH sometimes.
It's funny I've been playing Soul Calibur since the arcade days. But having never really been much more than a button masher who's learned a few moves.
Thus most of my time reading the advice for matches in this thread has me just going.
Honestly mashing is just step one, then you practice how to make that one cool move you pulled off on command and then it's about when's the best time to use it.
I think SC is the most accesible fighting game to try this out, even recent games like DBZF with the auto combos doesn't feel as welcoming as SC.
