SOULCALIBUR VI – What is Soul Charge?
Soul Charge allows you to spend one bar of meter to enter a powered up state. Your character’s move list will is larger and existing moves will gain unique features that are usually enchanced in some way. Soul charge also gives chip damage to your opponent if they hold block, allowing you to damage them lightly if they are playing too defensive. Soul Charge can be used defensively as well, since they push the opponent away from you when you activate them. However, keep in mind that time is of the essence because Soul Charges have a timer.
Soul Charges are very good for making big comebacks compared to Critical Edge because of the amount of damage you can dish out from good play It also stops the round clock, so hope is not lost if you don’t have the life lead on a nail biter! To enter Soul Charge press 4A+B+K (back and ALL attack buttons) when you have one bar of meter.
