By Martin Clark
If you are going to take any pf this guide please e-mail me at [email protected] first. Thank You. I have once againg tried to differ each character and section as much as I could.
STORY OF SOUL CALIBUR II
A plague of suffering and violence has swept Europe into an age of heroes and villains. Driven by the legacy of two cursed blades, people from every land are gathering to retrieve the evil sword, Soul Edge, but their goals are just as diverse as their backgrounds. Some seek the legendary blade for salvation or freedom, others for power, and there are dark creatures that would wield the sword for their own evil intentions. In the center of this maelstrom are some of the finest warriors who have ever lived. Who will be able to stop the nightmare of destruction that burns throughout the land?

*PART 5. STRATEGIES*
********************
Only suggestable combos / attacks.
B,K,G, rising (WS/WR) A,B, then juggle of your choice.
B,K if your opponent is side stepping.
Notes : The first combo is broken up, so it can be guarded in between. However, during the guard, the 2nd rising hit will guard break/crush. Run in and grab the opponent, chances are, many who guarded to begin with will still want to guard. The second combo is for those that sidestep the first hit and you don't want to leave yourself open.
B+K, 3B, 1B
Notes : If the 1st hit lands, the opponent will be in the air, allowing you your own juggle. This is only one air hit and one wakeup, but nevertheless, decent damage. Less reliable, but more damaging is B+K, 3B, 44B+K. If the enemy is not quick to move, a stronger wrath will be upon dem.
3B,6B,6B,6BA
Notes : This is a pretty linear air juggle and will only work against the practicing dummy and human opponents who are not aware of air control exists. If you just want the two air hits, then 3B 6BA.

BESERKER
--------
THROWS
--------
Notes: All of Berserker's grabs do 3 pts of damage when he touches them. This is before he starts the actual throw, so instead of doing 60 pts of damage on his Berserker Slam, he does 63.
Berserker can also grab twice before doing anything. This means he can grab and change his mind on the throw to mess with the escape. For example, if the opponent has been escaping his berserker slam, Berserker can grab with A+G but change the throw to Berserker Crush.
To change a throw, press A or B after A+G or B+G.
If you press A+G, B, Berserker will perform his B+G throw instead.
If you press A+G, A, Berserker will perform his A+G throw.
If you press B+G, B, Berserker will perform his B+G throw.
If you press B+G, A, Berserker will perform his A+G throw instead.
You can also use this to mix up his crouching throw. If someone has been learning to crouch under your grabs and double grabs, you can surprise them.
If you press A+G, 2A_2B, Berserker will perform a standing grab then a crouching grab.
If you press B+G, 2A_2B, Berserker will perform a standing grab then a crouching grab.
This does not work with his prone throws Get Up! and Berserker Dynamite.
A+G: Berserker Slam
--------------------
Escape: A when the throw connects
-Berserker lifts the opponent up with one hand, and then slams them HARD. This throw can ring out.
B+G: Berserker Crush
--------------------
Escape: B when the throw connects
-Berserker headbutts the opponent, forcing them to lie on the ground. He then readies himself and jumps on the opponent, landing in a sitting position.
214B+G: Berserker Vortex
-------------------
Escape: B when the throw connects
-Berserker grabs the opponent with one hand, and tosses them straight up. The throw can not be Air Controlled out of. This is a multipart throw, and can be followed by the next move.

STORY OF SOUL CALIBUR II
A plague of suffering and violence has swept Europe into an age of heroes and villains. Driven by the legacy of two cursed blades, people from every land are gathering to retrieve the evil sword, Soul Edge, but their goals are just as diverse as their backgrounds. Some seek the legendary blade for salvation or freedom, others for power, and there are dark creatures that would wield the sword for their own evil intentions. In the center of this maelstrom are some of the finest warriors who have ever lived. Who will be able to stop the nightmare of destruction that burns throughout the land?

*PART 5. STRATEGIES*
********************
Only suggestable combos / attacks.
B,K,G, rising (WS/WR) A,B, then juggle of your choice.
B,K if your opponent is side stepping.
Notes : The first combo is broken up, so it can be guarded in between. However, during the guard, the 2nd rising hit will guard break/crush. Run in and grab the opponent, chances are, many who guarded to begin with will still want to guard. The second combo is for those that sidestep the first hit and you don't want to leave yourself open.
B+K, 3B, 1B
Notes : If the 1st hit lands, the opponent will be in the air, allowing you your own juggle. This is only one air hit and one wakeup, but nevertheless, decent damage. Less reliable, but more damaging is B+K, 3B, 44B+K. If the enemy is not quick to move, a stronger wrath will be upon dem.
3B,6B,6B,6BA
Notes : This is a pretty linear air juggle and will only work against the practicing dummy and human opponents who are not aware of air control exists. If you just want the two air hits, then 3B 6BA.

THROWS
--------
Notes: All of Berserker's grabs do 3 pts of damage when he touches them. This is before he starts the actual throw, so instead of doing 60 pts of damage on his Berserker Slam, he does 63.
Berserker can also grab twice before doing anything. This means he can grab and change his mind on the throw to mess with the escape. For example, if the opponent has been escaping his berserker slam, Berserker can grab with A+G but change the throw to Berserker Crush.
To change a throw, press A or B after A+G or B+G.
If you press A+G, B, Berserker will perform his B+G throw instead.
If you press A+G, A, Berserker will perform his A+G throw.
If you press B+G, B, Berserker will perform his B+G throw.
If you press B+G, A, Berserker will perform his A+G throw instead.
You can also use this to mix up his crouching throw. If someone has been learning to crouch under your grabs and double grabs, you can surprise them.
If you press A+G, 2A_2B, Berserker will perform a standing grab then a crouching grab.
If you press B+G, 2A_2B, Berserker will perform a standing grab then a crouching grab.
This does not work with his prone throws Get Up! and Berserker Dynamite.
