The Stray Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Impacts are referred to as Guard Impact which parries your opponent's attack, although its a bit different in this game since GI's cost meter 1/2 a meter now, in order to perform them, press + at the same time when your opponent attacks you, of course there are some characters that can do special GI's without the need of meter.

DJ SMILEY Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) okay so does the impact achievement have to be done as block? ive noticed that a character has a guard impact as an attack by holding the right bumper and it says guard impact when you hit them does this count because it is an attack?

Beast Legacy Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The achievement doesn't specify the kind of repelling impact (although mine unlocked while doing a regular GI) so it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas001122 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think it shows up in stats as successful impact. It doesn't count unless you do it as a block. I stood there and did it a lot just to see if it counted and the stat only went up by 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas001122 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 From astral home(the screen where you select offline play and all of that stuff) hit x and it will take you to there. It's called soul link. It has a bunch of stats. I think it's listed under the general tab. It has both of those IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Legacy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Thanks. I though the license was the only stats screen there was, didn't really care about soul link enough to scroll through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xxstriker945xX Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 an easy way to do this (without using your soul gauge) is use someone like siegfried and hit H+K (Y and B button.) you well go into a prone state blocking yourself with your sword and also activate a guard impact. play a A.I. on easy and just let them hit you and repeat. Also a good method to use siegfried hit H+K to prone and then B+[RT] to use Brave Edge. Just Do Guard Impacts and when the meters half way use a Brave Edge and knock off two achievements in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for this. I had no idea what they were either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koompbala Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) The best way to do this is with a friend of course and do Y hold Y with Xiba so in other words BB in game terms. The first hit is so you friend knows an impact is coming then have said friend do a horizontal since that is what it impacts. Whats good about Xiba's is his auto GI doesnt have an automatic attack come out like Patroklos. So you can set the rounds to 5 and do this til the time runs out.

RA1NKING Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Best is to use Xiba and just keep pushing Y + B together whenever your opponent attacks. I got all 100 in about 5 minutes.. too easy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats what I said too I prefer Y hold Y so your boosting partner knows when to do a horizontal attack. I guess you could do Y+B in single player but eh to much work for me.
