What is it called when two attacks cancel each other out?

Question

If both characters attack at the same time it will often flash orange and cancel out neutrally. Does anyone know if there is a name/term for this?

Answer

This is commonly known as "clashing," or "weapon clash." It is not mentioned in the manual (for Soulcalibur V), but is a feature going back to Soulcalibur II (at least - not sure if it was in Soulcalibur or Soul Edge/Soul Blade).
