Ofc you should have horizontal combostarters, and ofc there should be risk to movement. What's the deal with all the SC2 fanboys flooding the discussion all of a sudden?

I haven't really played since the patch, so how has his reverse mixup situation post 1[K] changed?

If you like to use LF then 2_8A+K is a must, but I'm not sure that's any better than just regular sidestep-punish.

Character loyalty for life!

I think Voldo is very much about his "reverse mixup" game (since his ordinary mixup game is on the weak side). That is, attacking from disadvantage using his many evasive moves. Moves like 4A and [1]B put him in very good situations on block, from where you can work your offensive defence.

Yeah, on paper Land Fish is pretty much ass (being unsafe and generally dealing low damage) but it's a low-mid, A/B mixup that leads into more mixups on hit, and LF B BE combos can net you ~70 dmg. It's really just a 50/50 that you've got to weigh against the opponents ability to punish...

Exactly.

Voldo's Soul Arena is (together with Dampierre's) the least popular one by far =/

My punishment testing has shown that Voldo's CE actually is i18.

*May lead to. It's just the CE that tech traps any direction for full animation. Considering A+B3 (+another tech mixup) is guaranteed vs non-tech, and punishable if teched, I'd say it's a viable mixup.

I don't get it? Both are safe, and great.

Good stuff! I'd just add CR AA to the Anti-Steps, since it leads to 80-130+ damage, making it his most damaging step killer.

Some "basic" tech traps into full CE: 66K, CE - all tech (might not be cost efficent) CR AA, CE - all tech A+B, CE - all tech (timing for right can be tricky) CH 66[A+B], CR, CE - left/right tech (at least) In general, a tiny delay might be needed, and catching to the right can be really...

Well, at least Voldo can cancel his BS into CE, as well as CR (236) if you input slowly.

This might be old, but I just noticed Voldo can Quick Step Guard freely in BS.

All my testing is done Voldo vs Voldo, but I have no trouble connecting the combo on O.Pyrrha. A little more whiff prone I'd say, so yeah it's probably affected by character height. But mostly I think it's a timing issue.

Not having much luck with that theory so far... Anyway, another wall combo / tech trap: 88B W! 4K W! 4B, 66K, WR B = 76 dmg picks up any tech for -> 4K, 66K, 66B = 150 dmg, pretty decent for no meter with meter -> 4K, CE (full animation) = 170 dmg

Yeah, if you get a 88B with visible step I believe it's guaranteed. And catching right-tech with animated CE requires a tiny, tiny delay. It won't completely whiff otherwise, but that tiny delay might make a left-tech able to slip out. *Edit: left tech will never slip out, even if you delay it...

Funny wallcombo with built in tech trap: *88B W! 4K W! 4B, A+B, CE = 93 dmg, 171 dmg if the opponent techs.

Here's a good one: 666B, 66B: -A+B (62): Grounded -A+B3BB (~110): Left and back ukemi -44A+B (112): Any directions ukemi Same goes for CH 66B, but obviously with less damage. Though 3B is guaranteed.
