(From Di's Interview with Trace_AFJ)

Di: What would you recommend people trying to learn how to play against Viola? Maybe they should learn how to use her in order to understand her mechanics and weaknesses?

Trace_ AFJ: Well, basically learn to distinguish when she´s W/O (with orb) or N/O (orb set),
  1. N/O is the most dangerous mode,
  2. W/O is very unsafe and useless because she can´t use BEs,
  3. W/O 8A+B is launcher punishable - always remember that.
Basically, learn to punish and how to stop her BEs, keep the distance, don´t let her go close to you.
  • Learn to JG or step N/O 8A+B,
  • learn how to interrupt AAB and BBB properly,
  • learn to punish 44AB – it is interrupteable if you delay it too much and punishable without BE,
  • learn to avoid 44ABE without using meter, using an aGI or stepping the second orb hit, using an auto-step move...
  • learn how to avoid 22B BE traps,
  • and the most important, try always to stop 6B+K mix-ups.
If you see that Viola is using 6B+K close to you, use 2A or 2K super fast to stop what comes after. It is very hard to react to, I know... also learn how to avoid 6B+K mix-ups on block, like 6B+K 1K or 6B+K 6B, you can punish the first with some chars (Pyrrha, a.Pat, Xiba) and you can GI or auto-step the second one. Predict and see 1A+B and punish it because is veeeeeeery unsafe and also punish N/O 3B, which is -14, you can even CE on it, that´s very important.

LOL. Well Im ALMOST an anti-CaS kinda guy. But I gotta say, homedudes african CaS is really cool lookin. There are some people that put a lot of time and effort into CaS, and come out looking like shit. But thats pretty amazing! Good work!!
 
I fallen in love with the Armory, last week's helped me find out about a local tournament I plan to attend this weekend - my first offline shindig ^^
Amazing content roundup, keep it coming!
 
Why is it so difficult to click through to the home Youtube channel on this site? It would be nice if you would provide links directly to the home channel. Good post.

Aww, no SoulCast shoutout. :( Granted, the sound does go to shit at a point in that episode, so I don't know if I can call it "high quality," lol.
