Parents Deceased
Master Vercci Long Deceased
Four Brothers Killed Through Warfare
Background:
Somewhere in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, there was a small island
said to hold the treasures of a wealthy Italian merchant of death named Vercci.
His riches were stored in a chasm known to thieves who schemed to plunder it as
the Money Pit. Rumors circulated amongst them about the numerous traps that
awaited foolish intruders and of the eerie guardian who watched over Vercci's
fortune deep within the pit.
Although Vercci was renowned for saying, "There is nothing that I do not
possess," there was one thing he desired more than anything...Soul Edge.
Vercci tried everything within his powers to locate the coveted weapon- going
as far as leading a fleet of his ships on an expedition- but ultimately failed.
During his absence, Vercci lost most of his fortune to a war that broke out
in Italy.
His possessions were the only things that mattered to Vercci. He took whatever
treasures remained on his fleet of ships and hid it in a pit that he had dug
with the help of his loyal followers on a small island in the Mediterranean
Sea. Vercci rigged the chasm with countless traps in order to ward off treasure
-seeking intruders. And for over twenty years, the Money Pit ensnared thieves
who attempted to steal his treasure, just as Vercci expected.
There was a man who stood watch over the treasure- a guardian feared by all
who dared to enter the pit. He was Vercci's loyal vassal. The man served Vercci
on his expedition, helped dig the pit, and after his master's death, defended
the vault faithfully. After years of solitude in darkness, the man lost his
sight and sanity. He even forgot his name, which was Voldo. All of this must
have been trivial for him, for his only desire was to serve his master's will
by protecting the treasure.
But he had forgotten something. Something was missing.
In the silence broken only by the death throes of foolhardy intruders, Voldo
slowly began to piece together what he had forgotten- Soul Edge, the treasure
amongst treasures.
Voldo ventured abroad in an attempt to fulfill his master's last wish. He
followed numerous leads, and he returned periodically to the pit to ensure
the safety of the treasure and the working condition of the traps. The
guardian focused solely on performing his duties.
One day, after Voldo chased an intruder away, he heard his long-lost master's
voice. Obeying his master's orders, Voldo followed Soul Edge's aura emanating
from the female intruder's sword. And after a long journey, he finally
succeeded in bringing back a single-handed sword that emitted a strange aura.
Upon his return, Voldo found his master's pit flooded with seawater. Voldo sat
quietly, barely moving, on his master's throne in the small chamber behind the
statue of Vercci, which overlooked the treasure vault now covered by water.
Voldo believed he had found Soul Edge. He had obtained the one thing Vercci
desired. Yet he did not hear the voice of his deceased master.
Four years passed, but it was as if time stood still inside the Money Pit. The
guardian's duty of defending the Money Pit never changed. Voldo felt as though
he would spend eternity in the silence of the pit, waiting to hear his master's
voice once again.
But fate brought Voldo back to the present. When he defeated an
intruder one day, Voldo found several metal shards that possessed the
same aura as Soul Edge. And although each piece was merely a fragment,
they seemed to radiate the same amount of power as Soul Edge itself.
Voldo finally understood why he did not hear his deceased master's
voice. The sword he brought back was not Soul Edge. The guardian did
not know whether or not the metal pieces were truly from Soul Edge, but
he knew that the truth would be revealed if he searched for the weapon
once more.
Voldo collected the fragments, placed them on the throne carefully, and
then ventured outside. His mission was to bring Soul Edge- the weapon
his master desired to the very end of his life -back to the Money Pit.

in the Sould Calibur II game (Practice Mode). This is just for
reference while reading this guide (I'll call the Moves by their names,
not by their move combinations).
Number Explanation:
Numbers correspond to directions. Look at this diagram-
789

Where You Can Buy it in WMM:
Default weapon, already have it.
Description:
A pair of katars from Vercci's collection, that Vercci himself found
when leading his fleet in search of the Soul Edge. Scince his death,
they have been used by Voldo. They are valued not only as works of art,

Most familliar and well-balanced weapons for him.
Cat Claws
+++++++

http://www.felixmcli.org/sc2/voldo-w-3.JPG
Where You Can Buy it in WMM:
Chapter 1: Regulus
Description:
Weapons long favored by assassins. They consist of several sharp claws
fixed in parallel on a pair of gauntlets. Striking the enemy with these
weapons cause wounds as if clawed by an animal. They excel in
delivering damage but are somewhat fragile and ill-suited for defense.
Effect Description:
Good offense, but easy to lose balance.
Tofana Scissors
++++++++++
Picture:
http://www.felixmcli.org/sc2/voldo-w-4.JPG
Where You Can Buy it in WMM:
Chapter 2: Thuban
Decription:
Unusual weapons shaped like pairs of scissors. As appropiate for
weapons named after the famous Tofana poison water, the blades are
imbued with poison. But, perhaps as some sort of malicious joke on the
part of the designer, the poison soaks through the hilt and reaches the
wielder as well.
Effect Description:
Good offense, but required energy to wield.
Shame and Blame
++++++++++

Where You Can Buy it in WMM:
Chapter 2, Thuban, Chapter 3: Banetnasch

Voldo used them to defeat intruders, but even when stained with blood
they remain stunning works of art. Their heavy blades are sturdy and
well-suited to defense.
Effect Description:
Good defense but lack offense.
Iron Ram
++++++

Where You Can Buy it in WMM:

constructed so that the killing power increases with applied force.

Pollux
Description:
A pair of katars obtained by Vercci on his journey across the seas.
They are valuable works of art, but from the fact Voldo chose to fight
with them, it is safe to say that they are also quite effective as
waepons. The blades are heavy, and the overall design is robust and
sturdy.
Effect Description:
Good defense, but have weak single strikes.

How to get it- Complete Arcade Mode with Voldo
============================
6. Voldo Tips and Strategies
============================
1. The one thing I tink is most important (not only for Voldo, but all
characters) is to lern to use Guard Impact (Forward + G) effectively.
This maybe even more important iwth Voldo, sense due to his weapons and
attacks he has to get up close for most of his moves. This will also be
good againts new players who only button mash. Now, you probably won't
be able to GI an experienced player all the time, but anything that can
give you an edge is good to learn.
2. Learn to use all 3 Stances seemlessly. You should be bale to know
what attacks lead to a change in stance, and what attack you should be
using in that stance. Something I have seen with new users who use
Voldo is that they don't know what to do during Blind Stance or Mantis
Crawl and they try to get out of it as soon as they can. But, learning
to effectivlely use the different stances is very important.
3. Remember that the C-Stick is a short to some combinations. C-Up is
A+B+K, C-Down is A+K, C-Left is A+B, and C-Right B+K. This makes going
into Mantis Stance more simpler (3 C-Down), as well as other commands.
4. Voldo is effective because he is hard to guess what he'll use.
Therefore, using the same attacks over and over again won't be a good
idea. A good Voldo is one that uses many different attacks to catch the
opponet off-guard. This is also why it is hard to use Voldo when you
are beginner: Voldo doesn't have allot of moves that can used
constantly to win (though he does have some).
5. Two good effective attacks toRing Out the opponet is the Demon Elbow
and the Swinging Umbrella.
6. If none of these help, try your own way of playing. Just because I
I tihk this is an effective way of using Voldo doesn't mean you will.
7.Like I said before, it'll take some time to get good with Voldo.
Don't get discouraged when CPU keeps on beating you in the beginning.
If stick with him and practice allot, you'll be good with him in no
time.
8. farfetchd says: "And I can't stress enough the usefulness of Blind
Dive Max and Super Freak independently when not in stances. Death Rose
can even be used during Blind Stance, so that should mix things up. And
Calisto Rush~Mad Shredder: simplistic yet satisfying."
LordLockeRA gives a few strategies
9. "I play Voldo somewhat of a mix between a speed character and a reach
character- while his Katar have pretty short reach, his arms to NOT-
it's not apparent just how much reach Voldo has until you start
reliably zoning people out with moves like his 6B and 8WR 2_8A, or use
the 1K to launch Nightmare after ducking the tip of his sword on the
basic A.
With that in mind, Voldo tends to lend himself to a poking/whittle
strategy, since he both has the reach and speed to excel at it, and he
also has a number of good, if short, combos, many of hwich can be
started at that range. Voldo also has a number of great lunge-in
moves- the A+K and it's chargable variants, the 66A+B or 66A+B~K, 6BB,
66K, A+B, 2A+B and 4B. Since Voldo has both a naturally-long reach AND
he steps in to do many of his attacks, this gives him a much-greater
range of threat then he first appears. When stuff like the 66A+B, 66K,
and A+K are hitting from three full steps away from the opponent or
more, that's simply huge."
10. "Entering Voldo's stances is a tricky art- his Blind Stance is a
horrible stance to just mash into, because if your opponent gets an
opening, you get back-thrown. Not good. My all-around favorite
entry-move for it is probably 4A- a fast high attack that leaves
Voldo at a minimal disadvantage if blocked. The 1K gets a special
place in my heart, with it's high-ducking, launching, can go into
Blind or not goodness. Another favorite is using the Life Drinker
(A+G in the Rush), since it leaves Voldo in Blind Afterwards, where
Voldo has a better mid-low wakeup game.
Once I'm in Blind Stance, I like to keep my opponent guessing- 2A+B,
6B, 4BB. 1K, and 66A all have useful applications from there, as does
A+B and A+B~2 wheel attacks, and the ever-present A+K. Blind Stance
isn't a place to remain- your opponent shouldn't even realize you've
gone into it half the time until it's too late to recognize that 2A+B
swinging at their ankles. Be quick about getting in then out in a
similar fashon.
The Rush is a move I use mostly to extend combos, but it's got other
applications. CR A+B is one of the best surprise moves in the game,
and CR B can hop lows, something that's surprisingly lacking in Voldo's
arsenal (It's the CR A+B and the 66A+K is just about it, I believe).
Also, the leaping Grabs gives Voldo a forward-moving unblockable that
can add a bit more threat into his impressive-but-blockable ranged
game. Also CR [B]+[K] is a better way to quickly get into the Mantis
Crawl then 2A+K.
Although, outside the CR B+K, the best way into Mantis (Perhaps even
better thnen the CR [B]+[K]) is the 4[K]- it flows smoothly from the
kick into the Mantis Crawl feet-first, instantly able to do something.
Head-first, the options are a 4[B] or bust- you must enter the MC as
part of a mixup, cause like the Blind Stance, it's VERY punishable if
caught quickly. Also, when it comes to seeing the MC in action, this
is frequently Voldo's most-mangled stance. IMO, it's main purpose
should be to bait opponents into doing something that leaves them
open to either a mid-low mixup via the 2_8~AAA or BBB or mix Wurm
Strings, blitzing them with the low-hitting 66, or punisihing someone
who begins rushing in with the MC K, which is lightning-fast for it's
reach. While trying to get the opponent to do something rash, using
the MC's 2 or 8- it'll dodge a LOT of things, consindering that it
brings Voldo really low to the ground and moves more then fast enough
to avoid most B's. As for other MC attacks, the A is for people
by your head, the B for people by your feet, and the B+K launch into
combo for people who whiff an inital punishment attempt, although the
range of it is very pitiful if some part of the enemy's body isn't
extended."
===============
7. Voldo Combos
===============
salshen789 gives two Combos:
"right at the start of the match, I CHARGE at the enemy and use Gate
Prier (66BA + K) and while they're on the ground, I go into mantis
crawl head first (3C-Down) and when they get up I just hit A to do the
little flip punch out of mantis crawl. Another combo I use is to go
into Mantis Crawl headfirst (3C-down again) and use Superwyrm (the B
version) (2 (8) BBB) and then RIGHT afterwards, I go into Blind Dive
(which I THINK is 3BA)."
Legato49 gives a Combo:
"I'm not accurate on names, so bear with me. I like doing 3 A+B, which
is like a leap, immideatly followed by s Freak Roll and the explosion
that he does. If you can corner your opponent in the corner with that,
it's sweet."
zigmover21 said I could list the Voldo combos from his FAQ here:
"BS Blind Stance

CyrusShadowBlade gives a combo:
"Very wacky combo- 1K, hold down and then do [B+K](hold into mantis
crawl) then run over them (66)"
farfetchd: gives some combos:
"I tend to use Katar Gore~Blind Stance, Reverse Evil Bow, Mantis Crawl,
Mantis Fire Dance, and Asylum Breakout as one of my combos.
It works pretty well. If you don't already have it and you like it,
then put that in there.
I also use Katar Gore~Blind Stance, Reverse Evil Bow, and Broken Wheel,
too. Or instead of Broken Wheel, Lunatic Wheel.
4[B], K, 6B.
66A, 1[B], G+K. Don't forget to get off the 1[B] while your opponent is
on the ground.
1B, WR [B], 2A/2K/8A/8K. Any one of those four will do. Don't roll over
completely with 2 or 8 though.
1B, WR [B], A+B, 3[A+B]. The A+B is for retreat which gives you time
to charge 3[A+B] as much as possible."
Wyzt gives a Combo:
"66K, BS down ab+, 2A+B (MCHF), then do the run over thing
It works all of the time."
