She has one of the most versatile CE's in the game. On hit it still deals great damage, It can be used to ringout from stupid angles, it gives you a guaranteed way to end the round, it gives you a mixup that leads into bnb (or throw) and it can even cause people to miss with attacks because of the gravity property it has.

So no, her CE is far from useless. Frankly the character deals good damage too but people don't want to add up combo totals and prefer to look at it from a hit by hit basis.

also lol at SU calling Astaroth low-mid tier. Oh the joys of games in their infant stages.

Cedric, can you just guard the unblockable during CE? Or will the orb hit if you try to JG the UB?

EDIT: So I can just guard the first hit of the CE but I'm having problems getting just guards on the other hits. I'm going to assume it's possible to just guard every hit of the CE and Viola's unblockable, but it would take some Daigo level shit to actually pull it off in a match. Also it doesn't look like you have enough time to just guard any of the subsequent hits of the CE if you normal guard any of the prior ones. Yeah, 99.9% guaranteed round ender.
 
Im on the fence about GB. The bad part of GB is that it might be too easy to do. But the good part about it is that it makes shitty characters like astaroth more viable. Overall, I think GB might need to be nerfed just a little bit. The thing is GB adds a whole new dynamic to the game, and at this point a big nerf on it would be too much of a knee jerk reaction. Especially when taking into account that GB wasn't that significant in the last two major tournaments, so I think the best thing to do is to take a wait and see approach. With that said, we haven't even figured out everything and at this point only the most glaring things/bugs should be patched.
 
Oh and SU ... your dealing with GB just fine. Now if they nerf that non sense damage off of Maxis 6a+b BE than you might have some problems lol

You probably could, but really whats the point. If they see just guarding every hit that means they can run up and still go for a throw attempt unless you can aa them in between it or something. Hell I don't even know if a just guard will successfully make you turn around as you are doing it, that means she can circe around you and get a free back throw if not.

Here's a link to some of the ways I use Viola's CE (text not vid)
