Exciting! SoulCalibur Dojo (Sophitia's chapter)Maybe I'll go out for a bit now that I've put my children to sleepYaaawnWife sneaks out alone in the middle of the nightGood eveningOh! Sophie-chan! I'm glad you cameSecret meeting with a mysterious manOkay, let's go!TL NOTE: This line is actually a mashup of two lines in SoulCalibur III: one being Cassandra's and one being Sophitia's.
Sophitia's line (JP): ใใใ่กใใใ
Sophitia's line (EN): Okay, let's begin
Cassandra's line (JP): ใใใๅงใใใใ
Cassandra's line (EN): Okay, let's go
The official translations seem mixed up and that may have been on purpose in my opinion. I decided to translate the text in this manga the same way Cassandra's line is translated to hopefully preserve the original intent the best way I could.SureWhat exactly are they going to do?!Ahm!

Maybe I'll go out for a bit now that I've put my children to sleep
Yaaawn
Wife sneaks out alone in the middle of the night
Good evening
Oh! Sophie-chan! I'm glad you came
Secret meeting with a mysterious man
Okay, let's go!

Sure
What exactly are they going to do?!
Ahm! I can't anymore!
Hohohoh! What makes you say that? I barely did anything yet!
Come on, you know you're being mean to me
...Please teach me SoulCalibur techniques tonight like you always do, Instructor Olcadan
Hoh hoh, leave it to me
...Oh, so they're playing video games
Stun combos
The moment in my life when I almost fainted...
...was when my future husband proposed to me
heehee
I'll teach you about stun combos first
Oh, that's a new mechanic introduced in III, right?
That's right
For you to understand stun combos, I need to explain the stun state first
When certain attacks hit, yellow electric currents will run through your opponent
Eeek
During this state, every additional attack that hits them becomes a counter
This is what we call the stun state
And counters deal a lot of damage, right?
Aha, aha
But if more attacks hit them while they're in that state...! See what happens. There are also certain moves that can extend it even further.
Yep
Ah
Stun State
More attacks
Stun length is extended
Bam
Counter Hit
Normal attacks or throws
Using combinations of more stun moves, normal moves and throws on a stunned opponent. That's what stun combos are all about!
But what if I get hooked to it forever?
stun stun
Don't worry about that
Similar stun moves one after another don't extend the stun state. It's also possible to shake it off by spinning the left analog stick like a rattle
I see
Restore!
