I was playing with a friend tonight that I've been trying to teach the game. After beating him 37-0, he asked me a question that has been, in one form another, asked of me from many people who play Soul Calibur. "How broken is Voldo?"
My only answer, generally speaking, is "Not as much as Hilde and Algol" but that is the best answer I can come up with.
Voldo is super-safe, has the best CF game in SC4, and half his moves tech crouch and the other half tech jump.
He's weak to step and, with the exception of a couple throws and the patented Voldozer, he can only ringout from one position at one distance. However, other than that, the dude is *TIGHT*. You might even say he's mother fuckin' tiz-zight.
In my *personal* opinion, Voldo is not broken but is as good as a character possibly can be *without* being broken. And, given the option, I'd tone him down some (I'd WAY tone down his soul gauge game and maybe add some recovery frames to his regular moves). However, whereas I think Hilde and *maybe* Algol are broken and deserving of the ban hammer ( keep your opinions away from that, this is not a thread on the merits of banning), Voldo is just....*really* good.
What are your thoughts?
