Nope, they only patched the game once. She was fine pre-patch.

I'm not sure why, but I'm gonna assume that's what the players asked for. Wish they buffed ZWEI too :(
I love ZWEI, the end of story mode had me in fits because of his fate and to top it off he really needs a boost gameplay wise, too.

He's literally the worst character in the game besides Dampierre it makes me so sad. There are like 2 really good tournament level ZWEI players, though.


Viola is really really good, but she's very beatable, no where near SCIV Hilde.

I agree. Hilde could get a ring out literally anywhere on the stage if you slip up once. Viola has hella good pressure, she can build meter pretty fast and stay in your face. One thing that kills her is her range w/o her orb. She's a dumb character now, but so was Amy and Ivy in SCIV (imo).

I'm a Nightmare main till I die, but when I recently started playing SC5 again, I really had an interest in Viola. She's fun as well, tbh.

She has a very unique style, so I hope that whenever SC6 is made, she comes back or her style at least comes back.

Since the netcode hates me and I've never seen Viola played by someone else, how bad (In a strong way, like... broken or something) is she?
EDIT: What am I asking is, how much can she get away with?

At 1:33 I one touch him with 2 full bars of meter. Viola can do 133 damage with 1/2 a bar (so doing that twice will kill them) off of a 50/50 low/mid mixup. With 2 full bars of meters it's a touch of death. If you let her mix you up, you're going to die eventually because you can't always guess right, and when you don't, it's not pretty. I'm pretty sure I do it more throughout the video so you can keep watching if you want.

Also, Viola was fine pre-patch but people thought she was bad so they buffed an already good character and this is what we're left with.

Edit:
5:55
6:50
11:55
12:30 shenanigans lol
12:50
13:20
Also, I forgot to mention. She gets +8 advantage if you guess wrong and she goes for the low, so she can just put you back in the same situation.

Holy shit, that was great. I never knew Viola was that good.

Anyone here still play online? I got 5 on sale last week and don't really have anyone to play with.

i've just bought it 2 weeks ago, first time into the franchise. I can find a match every night on PSN.

I'm still a spamming siegfried noob, but we can fight together if our ping isn't too bad or if our timeshift isn't too different. i'm from France where are you from ?

I really like the game so far. very refreshing from DOA.

I wanna know why SCIIHD wasn't on sale earlier like the other fighting games were, but SCV was.

Why is that? I would have bought it if it did.
