Basic Q&A Thread

I'm well-versed in Street Fighter frame data, but I don't quite get the FD here. A lot of moves seem safer on block than on hit, and that doesn't make any sense at all. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
 
I'm looking to get into Soul Calibur competitively but I am unfortunately starting from absolute ground zero. The first thing I wanted to do was learn all the system mechanics of the SC5 game engine, but I found that to be pretty hard to do! I found the "Newcomer Directory" in the tactics forum but it didn't answer most of the questions I had.

Is there some kind of system tutorial, either in a thread or video format, to help me out? I've found a lot of the basic answers, but I always have more questions.

Examples of questions I found by digging around -
What is a clean hit?
How do I tech roll?
Why do characters fall differently during a juggle? (air control)

Examples of questions I need answered -
What are the differences of the stun states and what how do I get out of them?
When can I hit my an opponent on knockdown, and when can they block?
Are there universal CH properties and what are they?
What's the difference between a special mid and special low?

I have loads more of these questions and I will only have more as I start to explore the game. Is there a single place for someone like me to learn the system mechanics of SC5? I feel I can't even begin to really play this game without knowing why things are happening. Even if the guide is for SC4, it would be better than nothing. Thanks in advance.
