You Guard Impact by pressing guard and forward or back at the moment an opponents strike will hit you. Doing it correctly will leave your opponent fumbling over his weapons for a couple seconds, allowing you to get in a powerful hit or throw.

Yes, Raphael is a good character but I wouldn't exactly call him "ridiculous". Sure he's got some powerful and quick moves, but his command list is so limited until you start pulling out his fancy moves. He falls into patterns and all you need to do is block his attacks and punish him.
