Actually, yes it is. One of the better Viola players I've faced.

Oh, and I got your message on PSN about getting some matches in, but I think I was afk at the time.

I have major hints for you then... He stopped playing me because I learned his patterns.
after 2B at close range 90% of the times he does WS B. Step and punish. If you hang out at long-mid range walking to any side he will do one of two things with the orb. 2A+B and if you rush in he'll do 8 A+B..or 1A+B. If he doesn't have the orb he'll 6A+B B+K then 1A+B. In other words wait for the 1A+B, block and punish with WSB.

Also... I have never seen him do a 4AA BE combo... which is odd... but don't be afraid of those. One last thing... if in gloomy, 3B and 3A have TC properties and can go below orb hit of AAB... might work with BBB... not sure.
Hope that helps! :P
P.S. I also play Viola... if you are trying to learn the Matchup, I am more than happy to help :)

Awesome! I appreciate it. I could use some help with the match-up. Aside from what you mentioned, it seems also that a good general strat against her is to be as aggressive as possible so she can't start her bs. I'm still having trouble blocking her 2A+B on reaction. Something else I need to work on.

another thing that works wonders is Jollys B+K.... eats most of Viola's pokes. And if they AAB or BBB the final B will trigger Grim Reaper for a nice chunk of dmg. And against 44A BE, GS 44A can escape it after blocking first orb (and does not burn meter)
