Overview Move list Combos Matchups Strategy Resources

Introduction

Voldo is an extremely unusual character famous for his strange poses and eccentric garb. His moveset exemplifies the uniqueness of his character, featuring almost inhuman stances where Voldo contorts his body in ridiculous ways, with strange and vexing motions to confuse his enemies.

Unique Mechanics

Voldo is the only character in the game with a entire 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.

Voldo #SCVI_VDO
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. Having lived in the pit since the death of his master, he had lost his eyesight, but still continued to deal out cruel punishments to anyone who dared to attempt to steal his master's valuables.
