SC5 Voldo Wishlist and Discussion

Pretty mad.

"Hishara Tayo also mentioned how the fighter Voldo was often cited as being to hard to play as, with many players opting out of using him. Voldo has, like Hilde, been tweaked to be easier to use. I asked Tayo-san whether this meant the game itself was now easier, but I was assured that characters still have deep and complex game mechanics for true professionals to master."

What in the heck does THIS crap mean?
I am also not happy about this at all. I love Voldo because people dont really ever pick him up seriously. But to simplify a character so that other people could play him is backwards. I love his learning difficulty, it forces you to try all the moves in his arsenal. That's a crybaby reason to simplify a character who I believe should be highly technical and complex.

It sucked hard relearning all of Voldo's moves when SC4 came out. His moves didn't seem as though they were supposed to run smoothly with each other, but after a shit ton of hard work and dedication I learned how to make things flow. It felt like an accomplishment to play him effectively after the hard training BECAUSE of the hard training it took to play him effectively. To take that away because people think he's too hard to play is whack. If you like Voldo and really want to play with him, then you should put forth the time it takes to be as good as you can.

It's just like Setsuka from SC4. Everyone knows she has some of the most demanding moves in the game, but that didn't stop those who really wanted to play her from doing so. I'm sure after they learned her they felt they were a part of a select few who could execute such a difficult move list effectively.
 
Oh, so she doesn't go very in depth at all, but here are some tidbits from Kayane's experience with the demo

Voldo changes

"He has a new low : 1A : It’s fast, I think just as Xianghua’s 1A and around the same damages (around 20?) and that makes him automatically in BT. (Back Turn)

1B doesn’t make the opponent stand up anymore.
6B, B doesn’t exist anymore: 6B only. "
