Recently a glitch was discovered with Voldo that allows him to activate Soul Charge, or his Critical Edge, even if he has less than 1 bar of super. I wont go into more details on how to do the glitch, but it's pretty evident, easy to spot, and not something a Voldo player would ever do "by accident". This is a potentially game breaking bug, and we have to wait for Namco Bandai to fix it via game patches.
Speaking with other players and moderators, the general consensus seems to be to soft-ban the glitch. Voldo would not be banned, but the use of the glitch would be. If a player does the glitch in a tournament match, they will automatically lose that MATCH. This is because using a Critical Edge through this glitch may often result in the end of the current round. If such a case were to happen, it would be hard to return to the status quo. To make things easier for tournament organizers, and uniformity of enforcement, we have decided to penalize an entire match.
This however, is a "soft-ban". And as such, soft-bans are dependent on players acting to enforce the rules. If a player uses this glitch on you in tournament, you must immediately pause the game, and call a tournament organizer to launch a protest. If you choose to instead continue the match, instead of halting at the time of the offense, then you are tacitly choosing to forfeit your right to protest the results of the match. You can not let the infraction go, and then only complain after you've lost the remainder of the set.
