I need help on this matchup. Voldo is probably my hardest matchup alongside devil jin, even decent players using Voldo can do good against me. Yesterday I got to fight DeathInMyEyes and Enkindu, and while my DIME matches were pretty close, Enkindu gave me my hardest whooping so far in almost a year of sc5

I've seen that Enkindu guy fight. He is pure mind-games, it's beautiful... :D
I don't think you can get tips vs mind-games, just don't get scared or pressured. Do what your mind says needs to be done, not what your hands say.

I don't want tips against mind games. I'm just not familiar with Voldo's stances and mixups and what are my options against them
Voldo...effin voldo. That flexible, gross, 50 year old freak is a pain in the neck to face. He is a very very very very tricky and annoying character. My knowledge of the Voldo MU is poor but I do know that Raph's most effective option is 44K. With this move, you can beat his low, crouching, and grounded options if you read him well. 8K can work too. Ground hitting moves such as 2K, 2B, 66B+K, 11K, etc can also hit Voldo out of his stances. 8B is not as good against Voldo anymore since it doesn't hit grounded anymore.
I don't know specific commands since Voldo's movelist is soo complicated. The most important thing to remember is that Voldo lacks tracking and antistep. Try to zone him constantly and quickstepping in a circle to avoid his threatening options. Keep that 22B, 33B, 11K, and other sidestepping moves going to discourage him from pouncing on you, grabbing you (he has a lot of TC throws), and clawing at you. However Voldo could start using horizontals if you step too much so keep 4B at hand. You can duck under most of his horizontals and except a few which are mid or low.
