Soulcalibur VI/Voldo/Introduction

Introduction

The Money Pit was an expansive, deep hole in the middle of an island in the Mediterranean. It was created as a place to horde the magnificent treasures collected by Vercci, a weapons dealer. Naturally such fortune attracted the attention of more than a handful of thieves, but the Money Pit was not without its protection. In addition to numerous traps, it was guarded by a character wielding strange weapons: Vercci's former right-hand man, Voldo.

Unique Mechanics

Voldo is the only character in the game with a second movelist when he is Back Turned; also sometimes called Blind stance. The general rule of thumb is voldo can play differently depending on which way he is facing. When he is front facing he has decent movement, good zoning tools, good gap closers and good whiff punishers and is generally defensive. When he is back turned he has overall faster buttons, a i12 mid horizontal Critical edge, and a good offense but the actual worst movement in the game.

As a Voldo player you have to make sure you are facing correctly per each situation lest you put yourself in very dire situations with little to do about it.
