Hey everyone

While there *IS* some controversy regarding Viola, it's better that you just ignore it. The rule of thumb is that if you get sent hatemail from someone you beat and it's not because you've genuinely done something wrong for a truly unfair advantage(I believe lagswitching is pretty much the only thing that applies to SCV as such a thing: it's very well-balanced), they're just salty about losing and will assault you with an endless barrage of fallcious logic explaining how they're actually better in spite of losing and refusing to adapt. These same people also won't listen to reason 99.9999% of the time, so they're better off being ignored and left to their own devices instead of wasting effort trying to persuade them to, y'know, THINK.

Don't be like those guys. Enjoy the game for what it is, use your losses as inspiration to become better(by looking at what you did in response to your foe & the like) and have fewer losses in the future :)
 
Thanks for all the advice regarding CEs, guys. Just went into practice mode for a few minutes and I've already got 'em down. Before I was trying to do the exact input on the D-pad, and I just couldn't get it down and it was really hindering my play.

I'm up to spar with anybody who would like to. Definitely gonna read through the bible, and no longer feel guilty for wanting pick up Viola =)

Thanks for being so welcoming, everyone!
 
Welcome. And if you want to win easily with little effort then play Viola, but that means everyone is going to complain. Hilde on the other hand is quite under-used. I say go for Hilde. PLay me on XBL if you ever want some practice. GT: Mayuri Taichou

I think it's the other way around. Yes, Viola is overpowered. No character should have touch of death combos, under any circumstances, period. Most of the workarounds are a joke. "CE her when she does this. See? It's punishable!" Great, so all we have to do is have enough meter to CE everything she throws out? It's just that simple! However, where we disagree is that it takes a lot of time and effort to get good with Viola. Some people will tell you this is a fair exchange, those people are delirious. However as deserved as any hate is it actually takes some effort to earn that hate.

Im not going to rebuttle because I have never tried to learn her, but most of the people I know who are really good with her ,but dont main her, tell me how easy she is to pick up.
