Hints for some characters

Here are some tips to keep you on the edge over the arcade or your friends.

Link: When you are forced to the edge and you have low life, you can press A & B (Soul Calibur controls) to throw your friends off the edge. OR, you can just lure them to the end and just use the move as cheapshot start.

Nightmare: This one is especially for beginners. keep on pressing B for vertical attacks and it'll striker the opponent off and on the groud. It really keeps you on the advantage. but, to surprise them, use horizontal attacks often, too.

Challenging Inferno: When I challenge Inferno, I always keep defending until theres an opening, then i grapple. He can't reflect the move. So, I refer that you wait for him to come to you then grapple him with any character. Ivy or Talim do heavy grapple damage.

Link: Another cheapshot start is when you wield a bomb and just throw it at the ooponent when the fight just starts. Attack him when he least expects it. NEVER EVER run to him during the start, they might to a guard break and it'll leave you vulnerable for a combo.

Fact: Girls may do more grapple damage than the guys. So, if you want to take your enemy into the edge or see cool moves use girls for hard back breaking damage with grapples.

My opinions.
