Well...this is scary...

Haha, I was playing around with Yoshimitsu the other day (actually using him) and he has some bizarre moves. I like how he perches on his swords and swings off them with a kick then does his little helicopter thing. XD

Anyway, I was just in regular versus I think and I was beating the snot out of my buddy using the same tactics I have always used. I'll try to pay better attention to the conditions and circumstances next time I trigger that...if it ever happens again, LOL!
 
Reason for the title, I am notoriously horrible at all things video game related. Honestly, I am one of those players who will press every button on the controller and hope for the best. However, with Soul Calibur, it's very different. I know exactly what I'm doing!

Much to the annoyance of opponents, I only use one character. I have mastered most of Raphael's moves and he is always my top choice fighter. His fighting style is pretty impressive and I run the clock out with him more often than not (another thing that annoys opponents). Also, there are certain evasive maneuvers that, when coupled with aggressive attacks, really get people frustrated. All in all, I like Raphael's longevity in the ring and he makes cool noises even when he takes a hit.

One move of his I have seen done but cannot figure out how to do is apparently a combo move where he rushes the opponent and strikes the "Time to perish!" move (Y on XBox360), then he follows up by leaping into the air and striking the opponent with both heels. It looks really cool and I think it's the one move I have yet to pull off.
Hold the "Y Time to perish move" and press kick move (idk if its B, i have ps3) And this comes from a non Raphael expert. ^^
 
Wasn't sure where to post this question, so I'll stick it here. Okay, playing last night, I'm not sure what triggered it, but Raphael moved as though he were about to pull a Critical Finish and all this greenish glowy things adhered to him, then he was glowing greenish yellow for a while but nothing out of the ordinary happened. I've also seen the same thing happen to Xianghua and Asteroth before. What does that mean and what causes it?

Sounds like you did an Auto-GI move. Probably with 4A+B. Check out Raphaels Frame Data for this move and how it works. You'll find it under the Simultaneous Press section. It basically GI's your opponents attack when timed properly. Once you see the green flash for the GI, press B to execute the guaranteed attack.
 
Kevin- Thanks for the tip. :) As of yet, I still haven't successfully triggered that move. -_-

Ekindu- I read through all that frame data (which is put together very nicely, by the way) and I have one question: what does GI stand for? I want to guess "guard impact"?
