Soulcalibur has unique movement among 3D fighting games: Players can move with freedom and speed around the area by simply holding down a direction. If you’re confused on how to execute a move, refer to the bottom of the screen in our videos.

Also notice that our videos use the training mode feature that displays what buttons are being pressed. This way, you’ll know which buttons we’re talking about no matter what kind of controller you’re holding. To make things easier for players on different formats, we are going to use Soulcalibur 6’s in-game button terminology rather than that used by the consoles. All of these combinations can also be set to keys on your controller if you like. We will talk about pressing two or three buttons at the same time. Set them as you like on your preferred controller. The action buttons in Soulcalibur 6 are G (guard), A (horizontal attack), B (vertical attack) and K (kick). Soulcalibur 6 supports analog sticks, but you’ll only ever move in these directions. You can move in diagonals by pressing two at the same time: Up-left, up-right, down-left, and down-right. The directions are up, down, left and right. If you have a PS4 or Xbox controller, look at the D-pad. As with most fighting games, movement in Soulcalibur 6 is digital.
