Soulcalibur VI/Siegfried

Overview Move list Combos Matchups Strategy Resources

Introduction

Siegfried's iconic zweihander grants him incredible damage and range, and his skills with his blade mean he doesn't sacrifice speed and agility for its benefits. Similar to Nightmare, the sheer size of his attacks make him comfortable at midrange but his speed and stance mixups allow him to dish out devastating pressure up close. Whenever he's low on life, his opponent must be wary of his Dark Legacy powerup - which grants Siegfried a range of benefits including access to new lethal hits and some grisly techniques from his memories as Nightmare.

Siegfried #SCVI_SIG
Siegfried Schtauffen was the son of the knight Frederick Schtauffen, but joined a bandit group known as Schwarzwind, becoming particularly close friends with Salia Olschmidt. During a raid on some knights who had deserted from the army, Siegfried decapitated their leader only to discover that he had killed his own father. Horrified, Siegfried convinced himself that someone else had done it and became obsessed with revenge, searching for the legendary weapon Soul Edge.

This move is a long-range vertical that is perfect for whiff punishes and punishing your opponent trying to advance. It can stance switch to Base Hold for follow up pressure. If you whiff the Base Hold version of this move, shifting to Chief Hold or Side Hold can avoid some punishes.
