Pyrrha performing a Quick Step
The Quick Step is an element of game mechanics first introduced in Soul Calibur V. It is a fast side-stepping move that is performed by inputting 88_22 (up, up or down, down) and enables the player to dodge the opponent's vertical attacks and attack from a more advantageous position. White speedlines and blur effects indicate its successful execution. As of TGS2011, characters did not vary across the speed of their Quick Steps.
