I will transfer relevant information from this thread into the locked thread for reference.
Thanks
 
Ok guys, if you familiar with viola and another char, can you contribute
I will put some alpha and ivy stuff when I get back
 
This is a combonation of match up findings and a request for further help on the subject.

To play against Astaroth effectively I have found that the most reliable (albeit still risky) stratagy is to rush him down/stay in his face with 6B+K mix-ups, focusing on 1K and 3A as decent TC moves. The reason I find this stratagy effective is, more so than the rest of the cast, Astaroth destroys Viola at mid range, and to a certain extend her far range, because getting from outside into 1A+B range and further is almost never successful.

However I have found that the main issue with this approach is that I am so totally free to his CE.

Does anyone have any advice for this match up?
 
For me Nightmare and Seigfried are tricky. Seigfried usually does his mixups (if thats what their called) and nightmare is just idk maybe too strong and fast for his size. What i do usually are B+K mixups
 
NM is a hard MU for viola due to his speed and range, you will have to learn NM string moves and exploit the the fact his often use high moves so viola's WS K works well, and WR B is great if you can catch the CH as it will give you a nice combo opportunity.

Sieg shouldnt be too much trouble the main thing is not play in a linear fashion, and keep him out of stance mix ups

Thanks I also seem to be nervous around Yoshi and Voldo. Yoshi's Flying UB move is really hard to sidestep if im not doing it correctly. And Voldo is just wack with lows
 
I have my Pyrrha matchup that I posted in the last thread. I'll post it again on here. (Plus, it looks much better with just a singular thread.)

Sorry for any typos. Hope this helps. :P Tell me if there are any please.
 
Nice Punish guide for Pyrrha Ninja. I know this is asking too much, but I wish someone would make a punishment video for characters using Viola. I know someone did that for Pyrrha on YT.

Its all good, Im not trying to be selfish, but I feel like I learn better when I actually see it. But I can understand it in coding too of course. But anyway! It was a little thought of course. =)
 
Forgot to put it here, but, if Algol does the flip into bubbles, unless he BEs it, you get a free bomb punish. Just JG the first bomb, do 6B+K, JG again for the second (even if he doesn't do it), then bomb. Probably a lot of stuff I've forgotten to put here.
