CRITICAL EDGE GUIDE
It is not a combos guide, they are links to Critical Edge.
The buttons used are the same as in the game.
A = horizontal attack X (Xbox 360) Square (PS3)
B = vertical attack Y (Xbox 360) Triangle (PS3)
K = kick B (Xbox360) Circle (PS3)
G = Guard A (Xbox360) X (PS3)
FC = Critical Edge
All FCs are executed by making a half circle below-right twice + A + B + K (RT or R2)
General Aspects Critical Edge
Most Critical Blades can link after a counterattack or a wall hit, uncovering devastating combos is a matter of testing and playing within the confines of the stage, performing combos that end with a hit against the wall followed by a link to Critical Edge for example.
Many of the links described here will not perform the full Critical Edge animation, but that extra punch can be decisive in many rounds.
Critical Edge Skins for Characters
Below are FC aspects of various characters.
ZWEI
The FC of this character can be continued with B + K + another FC as long as we have 2 Bars and we do not use a Brave Edge in the sequence, it is a good character to make combos.
Natsu
Su FC can continue with the aerial tft item cheat sheet.
Cervantes
His FC can be followed with another FC as long as the bar allows it and we do not use Filo Valiente in the sequence, depending on whether the FC hits the second very fast, the opponent must be with legs raised slightly to impact.
Algol
The complete FC of this character requires 2 complete bars, there are links that use Brave Edge so they are not very effective since the value of their FC is in the second hit that spends one bar more than the others. That if the reward is large, it has several that leave the opponent in yellow directly.
Viola
His FC is one of the most complex and his possibilities of combos are extremely high, it is very important to control the position of the ball when executing them.
Hilde, Pyrrha Omega, Aeon and Voldo.
Few links to FC run the full animation, but the extra hit does considerable damage to account for 1/3 of life. Not too shabby to consider using a link to FC. In the case of Voldo after his FC, following him with a career in the Mantis Crawl pose will do a little extra damage.
Nightmare is
not included in the guide since his FC is too slow to link, it makes it profitable with the FC Guard Impact.
Ivy and Astaroth
Being grips their FC are not linkable.
Mitsorugi, Patroklos, Pyrrha and Leixia Execute
the FC animation on all their links (some exceptions for Pyrrha) which makes them very nice to wear.
