Soul Calibur IV

- online play is a completely different game than single player or the Tower

- pick one or two main characters and learn their moves in training

- concentrate on finding lows as they are much harder to block, especially in online

- if you're playing single player, read the game thread and find the Astaroth setup

- the AI is extremely vulnerable to throws and at high levels will flawlessly block just about anything

- if you're playing online, never play anyone with a connection lower than 4

- you can beat somebody who's played hundreds of matches if their win % is around 50

- mix highs and lows, find and use your character's quickest moves, don't worry too much about complex combos at first
