Thanks to Ring, here is the frame data for Voldo in Soulcalibur II:

This section shows the differences between recovery frames after landing an attack on normal hit, counter hit, crouched hit, grounded hit or the recovery frames after your attack is blocked or blocked while rising:Ring said:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Data
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some moves which show fluctuation in their attack speed - depending on what kind of move they encounter, i.e. faster against linear / downward / horizontal etc.. Some have evasive frames, sway motion depending on position in space / distance to opponent. I haven't had the time to specify against what types of moves what speed applies for the relative attack. But it might already help to understand certain occurrences when trying to reproduce frame data.

Finally, this section talks about Voldo's Stance Transitions:Ring said:----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hit & Block Data
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
H = regular hit
C = counter hit
D = crouched hit
G = grounded hit
B = blocked
R = blocked while rising
Frame advantage is a fluctuating number. The amount varies with the moment of impact. Your recovery time starts as soon as you've input a move. Your opponents hit / block stun starts from the impact frame. Therefore, the later you hit your opponent during the animation of a move, the more advantage / less disadvantage you end up with. Try to touch your opponent with the tip of the sword / foot for maximal advantage / minimal disadvantage.
Example:
4B
H +5~6
B -7~-6
---
close range / early impact:
H +5
B -7
far range / late impact:
H +6
B -6
Moves with a block recovery of B -11 or worse are considered unsafe and may give your opponent free attacks.
Example:
6B,B
B -20
---
Guard possible from frame 20+ after opponent's recovery
= Voldo cannot block attacks of speed i19 or faster.
Attack possible 20 frames after opponent's recovery
= all attacks add +20 to their base speed, i13 K will trade hits with opp's attack of speed i33 etc.
Note that blocking low or crouching take an additional frame of recovery. In the same example, Voldo cannot crouch or block low any attacks of speed i20 or faster. Moreover, it is impossible to suffer a crouched hit by medium hitting attacks of speed i20.
Analogeously, if an attack gives +16 frames of advantage this means your opponent won't be able to block attacks of speed i15 etc.
Advantage given by Guard Break moves is different; if a GB move gives +20 frames of advantage, it will prevent your opponent from blocking attacks of speed i20 or faster and all of their attacks add +20 to their base speed.
There are exceptions, where a character will be able to attack earlier than being able to block and vice versa. This will be specified as a sidenote next to the relative attack.
If you ever have trouble in reproducing a particular maximum disadvantage, try using advance guard (g6). This will alter the moment of impact and tends to lead to an early hit more often.
I also decided to list which moves force your opponent into crouch. This can be important since many characters don't have access to their fastest moves, making it harder to interrupt your mix-up or more importantly, impossible to punish certain moves on block.
This is mainly indicated by the abbrevation OC, which stands for opponent crouched. This can be extended to further describe under which conditions crouch results. OCB = opponent crouched on block. OCD = opponent remains crouched when hit already ducking. In the case of low hitting moves, this mainly happens when counterhitting a TC / WS move.
Moves ending in BS or MC refer to a different attack chart which will be found at the end of this document in the section called stance transition.
