Reversal Edge is a new system in Soul Calibur 6 that makes the fighting sequence go into slow motion. To activate Reversal Edge press guard and attack at the same time. During the animation, you'll absorb attacks from opponents, which is excellent to use when they are trying to pull off a powerful combo. After using Reversal Edge, the slow-motion sequence will begin. This is much like a rock, paper, scissors situation. Both players will need to select either movement, guard, or attack buttons. Beating the opponent in this mini-game will deal a significant amount of damage.
