Hit all four buttons at once. There's also a single button assigned to all four, so you won't have to frantically smash your controller once you get the Soul Crush. By default, this button is L1 on the PS3 and LB on the XBox 360.
Thanks for making this guide! I'm just glad that what was in this video also applies to the PSP version of Soul Calibur. I had no idea how to pull off a critical finish until I watched this video. Once again, thanks.
@mstl95 Hit all four buttons at once. You can also assign a single button to input all four at the same time. By default, this button is Left Bumper on the 360 and L1 on the PS3.
No, it's not automatic. Once you get the Soul Crush, you have to hit all four buttons to start the Critical Finish. The 360's default controller setup has the Left Bumper set for all four buttons. On PS3, it's the L1 button. And to unlock more stuff for your character, you need to acquire more honors. You'll get more items for every five honors. Once you get 30, you'll have them all the items available for purchase.
Yeah, that's why I wanted to make the video. I saw plenty of videos about Critical Finishes, but many of them just say "Make the opponent block," and that doesn't always work.
i still not understand the game.... but i still love it lol, never did a finish in all these years. It's like mortal kombat but you got to climb the everest, swim through the pacific, hold B while eating a peanut butter toast..... etc
I always forget to leave likes on videos, but this helped me so much I was looking for a way to let you know haha (and yes, people do still play this game.)
Actually, the concept is pretty simple: Don't rely solely on blocking. I think Capcom vs. SNK had something similar, where blocking too much woud cause you to be stunned for a moment. This is basically the same premise, just with a much higher penalty. My video shows how to make the most of this feature, but it's still pretty rare to actually pull one of these off in a real battle. Rookies rarely block and aren't always predictable, and veterans know better than to block so much.
And so, this game it's like to the soul calibur broken destiny of psp, but better and more things, like stars wars? I guess so, but i need you answer please overall
But whats the button combination for critical finish, I can't even find it in the manual. ;-; (P.S. I use PS3 for Soul Cal so yeah, PS3 combo would be great.)
I often made opponents to be soulcrushed, but I couldn't do that critical finish. If I press the four buttons simultaneously, every character just looks down and touches their heads Oo
Omg you press L1 for PlayStation and LB for Xbox dear god there you go. But don't complain if it doesn't work the first couple of times because well the time box for successfully hitting it is very short so you have to press it immediately
Do CPU characters never ever, EVER, EEEVER do this to you? I've had the game for 2 years and I haven't seen one single solitary critical finish. Plus, only now have to learn't how to actually pull one off myself LOL!
Is much more professional? I'm a native English speaker and I've been learning Japanese for 3 years, I can speak well enough to understand MOST adult speech. But the Japanese language completely lacks conjugations, articles, plurals and cases. Writing Shakespear or Goethe as they are written in English and German would be absolutely impossible in Japanese. It's a beautiful language but it sorely lacks the expression found in European languages. (English and German especially in my opinion)
I did this to a two or three people online when I played. I also had it done to me. I think it's always embarrassing if you allow your opponent to get that off. But i stopped playing because everyone was gravitating to cheap characters that literally spam two attacks over and over at a great distance. Yawn.

Lmao 13 year later and this video is still helping people!!
I will sleep like a dead man after this tutorial
This is a really fantastic guide. You explained like, everything that anyone would need to know. You're like an encyclopedia of the Soul Crush.
You have to hit the four buttons IMMEDIATELY, while the opponent is still reeling from the Soul Crush. If you wait too long, you'll miss your chance.

thanks for this. once I accidentally used a critical finish. I kept trying to learn it but when I watched this, my opponent's soul gauge was green 😑
Glad I could help. Let me know if there's anything you're still fuzzy on.
Very Nice guide, thank you. I think i am gonna go practice this now :-)
Thanks for this! Very helpful.
This is just what I needed. I would just start mashing the L1 button when their health started blinking, I didn't understand how to time it.
@mstl95 Hit all four buttons at once.

Awesome tutorial!!!

@TheCdk89 Forward + Guard for high and mid attacks, down-forward + Guard for mid and low attacks.
i still not understand the game.... but i still love it lol, never did a finish in all these years. It's like mortal kombat but you got to climb the everest, swim through the pacific, hold B while eating a peanut butter toast..... etc

Which button i need to press to do a critical finisher?
thank you!
And so, this game it's like to the soul calibur broken destiny of psp, but better and more things, like stars wars? I guess so, but i need you answer please overall
Thank you :)
great video :-)
thanks for all but what button do i need to click on the 360
No problem, that's why I made it.
Balistic106 what buttons do I press please tell I need to know how to do critical hits If you can can you make a video about how to do them
@madscape don't only do impact, incorporate it into your fighting, don't do it unless you need to
what buttons do u click to do it
Thanks :D
Thanks.
Is the critical finish automatic before soul crush???
And knowing is half the battle!
JI-AI JOOOOOU!!
but what do i press to do a crit finish?
I dunno. I'll consider it, but I doubt I'll change the name.
Now I know...and KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!
by all four buttons (on xbox) do you mean a,b,x,and y?
how do you do it though?
wow cool
thx!!!!!!!!
But whats the button combination for critical finish, I can't even find it in the manual. ;-; (P.S. I use PS3 for Soul Cal so yeah, PS3 combo would be great.)
Afro ninja!
u have to do it after a soul crush, or it just wont work
@Ballistic106 Every time i press all four buttons my character just face palms himself
Alguien que hable español y que tenga este juego digame como hacer las habilidades y hacer el final
My character is taking some lame stance if i push L1 when i meet all the requirements.... What am i doing wrong?
what console are you on?
Make sure the L1 is A+B+K+G, maybe??
THE BUTTONS?!?!
you just stop punching on soul crush and hr will automaticly start a critical finish or what?
Noa_ Diesel No. if you play on PlayStation you press L1 after getting a soul crush
And Xbox?😒
GOOOD HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is it bad that I've never done a critical finish because I don't know how to? I press the button when they are red but all it does is taunt 😂
if you're on PlayStation you press L1
2020?
I often made opponents to be soulcrushed, but I couldn't do that critical finish. If I press the four buttons simultaneously, every character just looks down and touches their heads Oo
u could just push left bumper instead of all 4 butons, its a lot easyer
Omg you press L1 for PlayStation and LB for Xbox dear god there you go. But don't complain if it doesn't work the first couple of times because well the time box for successfully hitting it is very short so you have to press it immediately
yes :)
Poor Yoda.
So Short.
this doesn't tell anything cause you didn't tell what button starts critical finish
Emily Carter on PlayStation it's L1
a little tip to folks who does not play this on PS L1= SWT, i think. so correct me if I'm wrong.
Loach Canhem yeah you're right it is L1 (I wonder why the make L1 SWT
You mean beside the fact that he's cheap, hard to hit, unthrowable, and makes you abandon all strategy?
Yeah, sounds about right.
Do CPU characters never ever, EVER, EEEVER do this to you? I've had the game for 2 years and I haven't seen one single solitary critical finish. Plus, only now have to learn't how to actually pull one off myself LOL!
What button do you press!!!!!!!?????
King Linux on PlayStation you press L1
Dashieboi15 Gaming and in xbox 360?
Catlucas o menino gato lb
Like why the fuck make a video and not tell how lmao
On PS3 to use Critical Finish, press L1 Xbox 360 press Left Trigger (LT) BUT follow the steps of this video FIRST!!

4:08 Hmmmmmmm.
BODY MASSAGE. >:O
Not so much.
You most HATE Yoda
yet another reason to hate yoda
Not very much help man, you should've included some more info, just knowing the soul gauge needs to be down to use it doesn't show us HOW to do them
@SwampertMSTR13 So useless.
That's not work
bruh stop being complicated and just tell me the finisher
so cheap
