How do I perform a guard impact?

Question

In the previous Soulcalibur games, guard impacting was performed by pressing ▷G (forward and guard; 6G, in fighting game direction terminology).

In Soulcalibur V, this was removed. Guard impact still exists, but it uses the soul gauge, and apparently requires a different combination (likely involving A+B+K, since it uses the soul gauge). What is that combination?

Answer

Guard impacts are performed with the combination ◁A+B+K (4A+B+K) and takes half of a soul gauge meter, regardless of whether or not they hit.

Additionally, certain characters have combinations that perform a guard impact. For example, Siegfried's B+K stance transition includes a guard impact. You'll be able to recognize these by their green glow as the animation occurs.
