1. INTRODUCTION:
***************************
Welcome, yet again to one of my (bored to death) FAQs. Aside from doing
this because I AM bored, I decided to write this FAQ to have
comprehensive move lists for Soul Calibur 3. Rather than leaving
everything unfinished, I'm being a little more serious now. I have in
fact, lots of unfinished FAQs, some that I never even submitted.
Anyway, this FAQ will be general and won't contain anything like
unlockable stuff, as that has been covered in many FAQs
already (the only exception are the unlockable and bonus characters).
**************************
2. LEGEND:
**************************
This is the basic outline of what is to be expected of Soul Calibur
players, whether new or not. It is absolutely important that you
know these, because many SC people are not going to go with general
notations like Up+Triangle. The following conventions are seen in
the SC3 boards (and a few that are missing):
Control Layout:
7 8 9
4 N 6
1 2 3
1 = Down/Back
2 = Down
3 = Down/Forward
4 = Back
N = Nuetral
6 = Forward
7 = Up/Back
8 = Up
9 = Up Forward
Buttons:
G = Guard Button
A = Horizontal Slash Button
B = Vertical Slash Button
K = Kick Button
Hit Level:
h = High
m = Mid
l = Low
sM = Special Mid
sL = Special Low
H = High that hits grounded opponents (limited to Yoshimitsu mostly)
M = Mid that hits grounded opponents
L = Low that hits grounded opponents
Uh = Unblockable High
Um = Unblockable Mid
Ul = Unblockable Low
UM = Unblockable Mid that hits grounded opponents
UL = Unblockable Low that hits grounded opponents
Move Properties:
GI-() = Guard Impacts H_V_K_Throw
GB/GC = Guard Break/Guard Crush
AT = Attack Throw
8WR = 8 Way Run
CH = Counterhit
NC = Natural Combo
c = Move Property is activated with a CH (ex: JGc, Juggle possible on CH)
co = Move Property affects a crouching opponent
cco = Move Property affects a crouching opponent on CH
JG = Juggle Starter/Launcher
FrC = Forced Crouch on Block
FrCh = Forced Crouch on hit
RO = Ring Out
Stun Properties:
DOS = Double Over Stun #1
FBS = Fall Back Stun
CS = Crumple Stun #2
CFS = Crumple Fall Stun
LCFS = Lift Crumple Fall Stun
LS = Lift Stun
THS = Toe Hop Stun
BN = Bounce Stun #3
QS = Quake Stun (aka Tremor) #4
KND = Knock Down #5
TS = Trip Stun #6
DSS = Double Side Stun #7
IS = Impale Stun #7
DS = Death Stun #7
TAS = Turn Around Stun #7
RS = Rise Stun #7
SDS = Sit Down Stun #7
FOS = Fall Over Stun #7
FS = Fall Stun #7
#1: Double Over Stuns can be escaped by moving the D-Pad around in
a 360 degree motion.
#2: There are two Crumple Stuns. The first Crumple Stun is when the
opponent falls down quickly in the same position; the other is when
the opponent stumbles back a little before slowly falling down,
this usually gives a launch.
#3: Opponent rebounds off the ground and into midair. The bounce
height is determined by range, usually shallow hit gives a higher
bounce while a deep hit gives a smaller bounce.
#4: Will cause the ground to shake and rumble, thus rendering an
opponent helpless. This is caused only if the initial move misses.
#5: In the move list there are three different knock downs that I will
mention. If a move has KND, then the opponent will be flattened on the
ground. If a move has KND(S), then it causes a stun of sorts in which
the opponent will lay in a FDFA position while recovering, in which
they are able to move again. If a move has KND(RO), then the opponent
will hang their legs in midair. KND(RO) moves can ring out, and be
comboed with followups.
#6: In the move list there are three different Trip Stuns that I will
mention. A regular TS is when the opponent gets knocked off their feet,
and is in a crouching position where they try to rise back into a
standing position. A TS(mini) is when the opponent gets knocked off
of their feet and hits the ground. A TS(JG) is when the opponent
gets launched into the air before hitting the ground. TS(JG) leaves
your opponent closer to you, which will allow different followups a
TS(mini) doesn't. All TS Ring Out, btw.
#7: These seven stuns are new to SC (I've made the names up, the last one
though I think was in SC2... hmm). DSS is where the opponent clutches
their side for a while before they collapse to the ground. An IS is
usually an air-related property, in which the opponent hits the ground,
but their body is raised up for a few seconds before lying on the
ground (Mitsurugi's 2A+B on airborne). DS is where the opponent
is on their knees with their back bended backwards (like when people
die if they get hit in the back), before hitting full faced to
the ground. TAS is when an opponent exposes their back,
then slowly hits the ground and lays in a FUFA position (Lizardman's
A+K). RS is when a opponent is put into a sit down animation and
takes a bit of time to recover before being able to stand up a
gain (this can Ring Out). SDS is an extended RS animation, except
the opponent struggles to rise from the ground, but to no avail and
instead falls to the ground in a FUFT position. This stun however
can be escaped with four inputs. FOS is when the opponent grabs their
face and stumbles backwards, before falling down in a FUFT
position. FS is an extended version of the animation when a low hits
(sounds confusing? to make it slightly easier to get the point across,
when a low hits an opponent, they slightly look at their legs as if
about to trip). The opponent then falls to the ground, in a way
somewhat similar to a THS. Sorry, I'm not really creative with these
names, so... any suggestions?
Move List Commands:
+ = Simultaneously
, = Followed by
xY = Tap X, then quickly tap Y (aka Slide Input)
[ ] = Hold
_ = Or
> = Delay
{} = Charge Second Delay for property (ex: Mitsurugi's 236[B]{1})
: = Just Frame Input
... = Repeat Input
= = Move offers several options after it (minus strings)
~ = Command Enters Stance
FC = Full Crouched
WS = While Standing
WL = While Landing
BT = Back Turned
Ground Positions:
FUFT = Face Up and Feet Towards
FUFA = Face Up and Feet Away
FDFT = Face Down and Feet Towards
FDFA = Face Down and Feet Away
***********************************************
3. DEFAULT CHARACTER MOVE LISTS
***********************************************
Move List Notes:
* The following Move Lists are for all standard characters (and unlockable
ones to the roster, bonus characters not included).
* Sorry, I'm not mentioning move names, since they all are already listed in
the game, plus I find commands easier to memorize. You will, eventually.
* Let me know if I'm missing any properties/moves/information on certain
moves.
* I'm not including any Soul Charge related properties atm.
* For 8WR attacks, I'm only included ones that are similar if they have
different properties or have different damage inputs. Otherwise, most of
the 8WR attacks listed are only unique to 8WR. 8WR attacks are done by
double tapping the specified direction (ex: 22B), or holding that specific
button and then tapping button (which is easier, although double tapping will
instantly buffer the move, which is important, especially when it comes to
combos).
* Delay moves (>) are optional, so I'm only listing them if they affect
properties that it normally has undelayed (ex: NCc is possible with
Nightmare's A,A,B, but when delayed, the last hit is blockable.
* Certain strings ARE natural combos by themselves in certain parts
(i.e. A,A,B, the first two hits ARE guaranteed), but to save space, I'm only
listing the entire string as a NCc. The only exception is if the move is not
a NCc but some parts ARE a NC.
* Certain moves that have JG are not always possible. They simply
indicate that the move renders an opponent airborne.
* If there are no information for a particular move, it is either
cancelled (using G) or only has properties.
* I'll add some Just Frame advice; don't always expect that it will help,
as it's not always true for all JFs (a good example is Cervantes' BT JF
with 4K,K:B+K).
* If a move has "End in [Stance]" but is not indicated with the ~ symbol,
the move remains in that particular stance. A move with "shift to
[Stance]" will have the ~ symbol. * / divides properties (usually
regarding jump attacks) if they are a result of different
situations. With jumping attacks though, when you see / in between
damage and properties, it means the first version (a jump attack
using 7 for instance) has this property, while the other two versions
(8_9) share a similar property. Other moves shown with this symbol
usually involves the first hit of the move that juggles and the followup,
which can follow and do 80% of its damage, or do 100% of its damage. The
properties interchange with the second hit if it's part of a juggle or not.
* Despite being a universal move, I'm adding Run K (slide) because every
character's Slide does different damage.
* For RO moves, some actually ground the opponent. I won't list exactly
where the move ROs though.
* Variable Cancel: Hold G, then double tap 2_8 to cancel the move. It would
look like this: [G]22_88. Certain moves have the option of being variable
cancelled.
* If you see a JG move that has two damages listed, but does not have
two ranges listed (ex: 33B, 15,15, M, JG) then this JG move is what I
like to call a "Spiral Launch". Your opponent is launched into the
air really high, but spins repeatedly, hence the Spiral Launch. Upon
hitting the ground, they take a bit of extra damage, and cannot tech.
I'm only listing regular launches that are not techable (ex: Cervantes'
1A,B).
* Look for footnotes (denoted with a #insert number here), as they
explain in a bit of detail some property changes or certain things
that could affect the move/fight.
And now for the move lists...

#1: To pull JF off, tap B,B,B in a one two three rhythm. There are two
knockdowns that occur, one is a normal knockdown which afterwards, the
opponent can tech. The second is when you tap B on the earliest frames after
the second B hits. You'll get a flash JF (indicated by the Soul Charge
sound and the white "flash") and the knockdown will be a KND(RO) which you
can followup on (you can't Ring Out because the move pulls in, unless you
launched your opponent over a low wall).
#2: To make this easier, map a B to another button, then tap b,B at the exact
same time in order to pull move out.
#3: Launch height is low with WL B (8).

does the move.
#2: Opponent can tech upon hitting the ground.
#3: On CH, second hit will miss.
#4: Move retreats, and whiffs if not at pointblank range.
#5: Knockdown(RO) is available only as an air hit. If blocked, Abyss ends in
Back Turned position.
#6: No matter what the position is, as long as the tremor connects or the move
hits, the Toe Hop Stun will still be in effect.
#7: Second hit causes Fall Over Stun on CH.
#8: Second hit launches higher on CH.
#9: On deep hit, move hits for 85 damage and rings out, but cannot wallsplat.
On mid range (partially shallow), the third hit will miss and the opponent
will be in Crumple Stun, and then get hit by the flame attack which can Ring
Out and wallsplat at any time during the knockback until opponent descends
and is about to hit the ground. Can do up to 90 damage near wall (hard with
the 85 damage unblockable though).
#10: The A+B part will knock down and then the opponent can tech, unless
delayed and used as a juggle.
#11: If opponent escaped the Double Over Stun, the [B] part can be
blocked.

#1: Opponent cannot tech after launch.
#2: Opponent will be launched and land right behind Cervantes.
#3: For this JF, tap B after 3A hits. Has the option of being cancelled with G,
thus allowing you to juggle/followup.
#4: First hit of the move must miss for this to be available.
#5: If opponent breaks DOS, then the [B] is blockable.

#1: AT activates on an airborne opponent, and does 30 damage (in addition to
Ringing Out behind Cervantes).
#2: Launches higher on CH.
#3: Is available only on CH. Opponent can tech after second hit connects.
#4: Can Ring Out with either an AT or shallow hit. Shallow hit does 30 damage
and (from what I've tested) has farther knock back distance, while AT plants an
opponent on the ground, does 50 damage, and requires Cervantes near the edge to
Ring Out.
#5: If using 7, launch height will be considerably low.

#1: On hit or whiff, Cervantes will end up in BT position. If blocked,
Cervantes will not end up in BT position.
#2: To do instant version of move, complete the DC command and tap B_B+K at
the _RIGHT_ time, all in one motion. You know this is achieved if Cervantes
skips the DC animation (when he raises the sword right above his head. DON'T be
fooled though when doing iTS, as it may look like he's doing iTS, but he's not
if Cervantes does not skip the startup frames of DC). To make it slightly
easier to practice, buffer the command while guarding.

#1: Can someone help verify this? I don't know the GI window time nor
what moves does this GI work against.
#2: Causes Crumple Stun on CH.
#3: Throw can be breaked with B. The opponent will either be given or drained
of life. 6[A+B] will give 30 health to the opponent, while 6[A+B]4 will drain
30 health from the opponent. When broken, the opposite throw will be executed.
Yoshimitsu will gain three Tekken moves afterwards for the round; use 6A+K for
them.
#4: Yoshimitsu auto-sidesteps during move. After the last sidestep, Yoshimitsu
enters CS. Throughout the move, he takes damage.
#5: For a brief moment after landing, your directional commands & directional
+ button commands will be reversed (ex: If you input 3B after landing, you will
do 1B instead).
#6: Yoshimitsu will bounce off of opponent and retreat about a 1/4 distance
away.
#7: After suicide, Yoshimitsu can spin rapidly for four spins, then he will
stop and do one spin at a time afterwards. He takes 20,15,10,5 dmg during the
first four spins, then the next spin will deal 30 to him, and then each
subsequent spin will do 28 damage to him. Each successful spin that connects
will do 20 damage each.
#8: I have yet to find the JF timing on this move. However, if successful,
Yoshimitsu will restore 120 points of life. Additionally, Yoshimitsu will GI
everything except unblockables.
