Guard Impact & Reversal Edge Timing

Master Guard Impact and Reversal Edge timing in Soulcalibur VI: parry attacks, strategically use RE, and predict clash inputs.

·Multi-source verified (61/61)

Guard Impact (6G or 4G) is a powerful defensive tool that parries incoming attacks, creating an opening. Learn the timing for different attack speeds. Reversal Edge (B+G) is a high-risk, high-reward mechanic. Don't overuse it; save it for when you anticipate a strong attack or need to escape pressure. In the Reversal Edge clash, try to predict your opponent's input (A, B, or K) and counter with the appropriate attack (A beats B, B beats K, K beats A, G beats all attacks but is beaten by Guard Break).
