The video in the link provided shows the following combinations. The directional notation system is used to describe each move.
Combo 1: 236K, Jump K, K, K
Combo 2: Crane A~Crane K~Crane A B
Combo 3: Crane A~Crane K~Crane 8K
Combo 4: 33 hold B, 8K
Strategy
Please read through 'The Basics' and 'Fighting Terms' for an explanation of the 'directional notation' and the fighting terms used to explain strategy.
Yun-seong is very much a close-range fighter, so at long-range make heavy use of 8-Way Run and punish missed attacks with Eclipse Blade (hold 2_8, B) or Tempest Blade (66B). At mid-range, Avenging Claws (6B, B) is a damaging pair of vertical strikes that ends on a Guard Break; this move is actually useful against staunch defenders, as it can rapidly deplete their Soul Gauge and lead to a Critical Finish from your end. Use Opening Void Thrust (hold 1_7, B) or Tempest Blade (66B) to punish whiffs and Burning Ember (44A) or Diving Viper (66A) to prevent sidestepping.
Rising Claws (236K, K) leads to a damaging combo with Phoenix Ascension (jump K, K, K). Yun-seong's Ragged Fangs (K, K, B) is his quickest attack, so make heavy use of this string while at close-range to interrupt attacks and score counter-hits. Rising Hook Heel (while rising K) stuns on a normal or counter-hit. Viper Lunge (while rising B) is a high poke that comes out quickly, and is also useful for interrupting attacks. Sweeping Wave (A K) is a good mid to low string that ducks under high attacks. Use Sweeping Wave (A K) and Torso Cutter (1A) to prevent sidestepping.
The evasive Crane Stance (B K) offers several different options. While in the stance, Yun-seong will automatically side step linear attacks and deliver a mid kick in retaliation. Horizontal attacks and kicks will still hit, however. The most effective close-range moves during this stance are Leg Sweep (A K), a low sweeping kick that ducks under high attacks and links back to Crane Stance, and Crane Shredder (2K, K), a quick low poke followed by a high kick. At mid or long range, Stone Cleaver (during Crane A B) and Coiling Viper Thrust (during Crane B K) are effective, but both are linear and easy to avoid.
About the Directional Notation:
It's worth mentioning that Soulcalibur players have their own way of discussing directional movement. If you ever browse a Soulcalibur forum or visit a fan site, you'll likely notice other players expressing directional inputs as numbers. These numbers refer to the possible directions that a character can move in. For example, you may see 4B to refer to an attack in which the player must press back on the d-pad and tap the vertical attack button. Take a look at the number pad on the right end of your keyboard. Each of the numbers—one through nine—is used to denote one of the possible eight directions that a character can move in. Compare the numpad on your keyboard to the D-pad on your controller: 1 is Back Down, 2 is Down, 3 is Forward Down, and so on. The number 5 indicates no directional input—the character's neutral stance—also referred to as N. So:
789
4N6
123
7 = Back Up
8 = Up
9 = Forward Up
4 = Back
5 = Neutral
6 = Forward
1 = Down Back
2 = Down
3 = Forward Down
The above convention is mostly used between players. This guide also uses numbers when discussing moves, so make sure you're familiar with this method. Directional commands are sometimes signified by letters (ex., db = down back). Again, note that all directional input is from the character's point of view. So, if your character is on the right side of the screen, facing the opponent on the left side of the screen, 4 (Back) would then be 6 (Forward) if you were to move towards the opponent.
_ = Or (ex., 2_8).
N = Neutral. (No directional input.)
aB = Slide input (second input must be entered very quickly).
Hold = Keep button pressed down; usually denoted with square brackets, but “hold” in this guide.
Hope this helps :)
