Viola Day 2 Combo Video

[echosevern]

nice. still resisting picking a main but those sweet looking combos make a good case for picking viola

[JaykeMEllis]

Buy the guide. Best guide ever made for a fighter. Worth every cent. Nothing is overlooked

[TenTailedHokage]

hi im new to soul calibur sort of but i was wondering what are brnbs

[DaAnimekid]

@TenTailedHokage bnb = bread and butter (the combos you'll be using a lot)

[skydance3388]

i hate how people say viola's weak and that you always have to chain her attacks....power isnt everything (and i proved this many times online) and besides combos are fun and shows that you have skills in the game <3 <3 VIOLA <3 <3

[benleenim]

I'm now going to main Viola. Her combos look so sick xD lol

[WakeupSRK]

do you think you could number them and put the numbers in the video? it would make this guide a bit easier to follow.

thank you (:

[DestinStrider]

@WakeupSRK Maybe if I make a final combo video or a Viola beginner guide or something. Going through this with annotations hardly seems worth the time at the moment considering I'm thinking of making a final video.

[WakeupSRK]

@DestinStrider oh that makes a lot of sense o: haha i guess i'll be patient and wait for that one.

VIOLA IS SO HARD @_@ i'm not used to 3D fighters at all

[KidKing229]

Awesome combos, but how well do they work with smaller/lighter characters?

[DestinStrider]

@KidKing229 They all work exactly the same. The only one that's iffy is the 2B+K relaunch after 9K into Dash->AAB series. It still works on smaller characters in small stages, but it's real tricky and position dependant.

[ChainGregs]

What's the name of the song on this video :o ? It's really awsome.

[DestinStrider]

@ChainGregs About 5 seconds into the video there is big text answering this.

[PSNMyfoot]

Man, when I do N/O 1A+B 2B+K BE, sometimes the brave edge hits and the combo goes on, and sometimes the oponent is able to ukemi when they bounce on the ground... Does it need to be on CH?

[bobombthekoopa]

0:35 if only i was Kakashi...

[AfrikanHairGod]

Thank you so much for this video!

[Joetime90]

Thanks for these combos, its enough to get me started on Viola (who I'm having a lot of fun with over my main).

[desy27]

Now do it while u get hit :D

[DestinStrider]

@desy27 I actually have a few videos on my channel of matches in which I do these.

[Songotus]

is this really 30 or 60 fps or whatever. looks smoother than normal youtube vids lol

[megacomrade23]

Yeah I'm sure these won't work with air control. Even BBB (orb set) doesn't combo with air control.

[TogeticTheRuler]

@megacomrade23 Which is why he uses AAB instead of BBB since AAB is faster

[DestinStrider]

@megacomrade23 BBB doesn't, AAB does. Try it before you say they'll be air controlled.

[icefaii]

How do you utilize her critical edge? I find it extremely underwhelming. When the opponent is blocking my critical edge I could only use grabs or unblockable, but the damages of both these moves without her orb are so insignificant...

[DestinStrider]

@icefaii It's good for relieving pressure at times (Though you have to do it while safe.) It can also set up for 50/50s into ringout.

[0ldSkoolzGamer]

This is why SC5 sucks it's just Tekken with too many combos and juggling nothing like what Soul Calibur shud be

[DestinStrider]

@0ldSkoolzGamer One character has these combos. Every other character that USED to have long combos now has significantly shorter ones. You are uninformed.

[Shippoyasha]

@DestinStrider As an addendum, a lot of those combos that juggle don't do monstrous Tekken damage. If you are only a Tekken fan, at least they'd know that if they wanted to bash SCV about it.

[jwong83]

@0ldSkoolzGamer There were combos and juggling in every soul calibur you dumb noob.

[0ldSkoolzGamer]

@jwong83 not as much as this installment dam

[SwinburneSam]

@0ldSkoolzGamer the juggling is nothing in soul cal compared to tekken.

[ClaTheNinja]

@0ldSkoolzGamer You're implying that there's something wrong with Tekken's way of doing things. There's your problem right there.

[0ldSkoolzGamer]

@ClaTheNinja lol who said that not me I said its wrong in Soul Calibur

[shurikin93]

i luv u

[DestinStrider]

@shurikin93 <3

[shurikin93]

@DestinStrider also enabling inputs for all the combos would be nice if you plan to make more vidjas =D

[deddjay]

Excellent combos. Once again inspired to head to the lab and play around with her BE moves.

[macf1soon]

This is great info.

I want your music.

[ClaTheNinja]

Hey can you play around with CH 66B? Best thing I can find is..

CH 66B 66A+BB

...but it seems like something more has to be possible.

[ClaTheNinja]

"W/O 1A 66A+BB (This works with N/O as well)"

That has to be CH. Also, the last B is not guaranteed. It seems the opponent can ukemi out of the way.

[DestinStrider]

@ClaTheNinja Yeah, somehow I turned CH to attack without realizing it :/

[JoeyShadowKorn]

Poor Astaroth.

[tekkenizam]

omg, its amakusa's (samurai shodown) sister :D

[ookami8672]

Viola is HOT... Wha? Yea I said it u_u

[Adamx509]

Thanx so much!! I mean it

[gangstaunit11]

Amazing stuff! Liked and Subscribed! I'm new to the SC community, but this was very entertaining. I main Tira, but Viola looks like she'll give her the boot! Great Stuff! Can't wait to see more.

[ChikikyoKONAMI]

Nicely done!!!

[ClaTheNinja]

Excellent excellent finds! And so early! You sir, have jump-started the Viola community more then you can imagine.

You gonna play around with using her Critical Edge in combos? At least using it as the first hit, there definitely seems to be some interesting potential.

[DestinStrider]

@ClaTheNinja Her CE seems to lack damage no matter what I do. If I combo into it, I get about 120 damage with a high execution combo. Around 100 damage with anything easy. Mostly I'm just using the CE to relieve pressure and to set up for ringouts.

[Doctorzoidberg747]

Very nice job. Good info since I am maining viola.

[dianehater]

imagine day 1,378,900,456 O____O

[blaa15]

I have trouble reading the combo description,, the numbers confuse me :( HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

[xouleikha]

@blaa15 The numbers represent the direction of the joystick. It's based on the number pad. 2 is down, 6 is right, 4 is left, 8 is up, 5 is neutral and so on.

[blaa15]

@xouleikha Thank you :) I think lol

[sprinter223]

such a cool character. can't wait to get this ga,me next month and learn her

[Iostars]

favorited. Excellent combos! Thanks for sharing

[TehLazieBoi]

I'm determined to learn Viola! Awesome vid

[baku270]

Right when I thought the Viola combo I just made was sick, I see this. Here, take my combo's ambulance to the E.R. Amazing vid!

[dmosley229]

Just wondering but at 1:35 does anyone else hear the Big Arm Boss battle music from Sonic. Listen to Big Arm Boss battle music then listen at 1:35

[ClaTheNinja]

@dmosley229 Yep the melody is definitely nearly the same.

[DestinStrider]

@dmosley229 This song actually pre dates the 3DS. So yeah, probably not stolen.

[dmosley229]

@DestinStrider No the Big Arm boss battle theme is from Sonic & Knuckles I think which means it came out in the 90's. So I think they just borrowed part of the theme

[ClaTheNinja]

@DestinStrider "Pre dates the 3DS"? What does that have to do with anything? The "Big Arm Boss Battle" song that dmosley229 is talking about is from Sonic The Hedgehog 3, which is a Sega Genesis game from 1994. I can promise you that Zircon's Necromancy song was created AFTER 1994.

[fearyourweapon]

Do you have the computer rolling in a certain direction??

[DestinStrider]

@fearyourweapon Nope, but wouldn't matter. All the OTG stuff is off unshakeable ground stun. 

[mixup101]

um i think some of these combos can be avoided if the person alters their falling direction in the air 

[DestinStrider]

@mixup101 Nope. None of them are air controlable

[MarineBio42]

Amazing combos. I use these all the time now. I look forward to seeing more Viola videos from you.

[Jebadialot]

Aha I see, how much does that add

[DestinStrider]

@Jebadialot Depends from combo to combo, but usually 10 to 20

[Jebadialot]

Then post it man

[DestinStrider]

@Jebadialot I will. But basically - Take out the 9K 2A+B ender in everything and change it to 66B 66A+BB

[Jebadialot]

Yep same combos I use, I love them so

[DestinStrider]

@Jebadialot Already found better @_@

[iiDRiiZ]

Wow, amazing! Good quality too did you use the video recording feature or some other software? Also, and chance you will make an aPat combo video?

[DestinStrider]

@iiDRiiZ I'm using my own PVR, and I don't think I'm going to be doing aPat. I might, but I want to mess with zwei first.

[ncsomeone]

Badass. I was owning people yesterday with your day one combos. I'm really going to get the salt flowing tonight! :P

[findlay27]

Sweet video! Getting the game tomorrow (EU release) but for Xbox. My only recommendation is that you try to make more snippets of recordings using the Input Display (about half of them do) though regardless, some really neat combos you have =) I hope to re-learn Astaroth.

[DestinStrider]

@findlay27 Input display's a little distracting. I did transcribe the video in the info already, don't really need that input display

[findlay27]

@DestinStrider Bleh true, and understandable. I was thinking of more for timing inputs, not that Soul Calibur is the type of game that is strict that way.

Quick favour though, do you know if 1[A] > 5B > Throw on bounce is still in for Astaroth? That is how I used to brush through Arcade Mode for the score achievement/trophy in SCIV >_>

[DestinStrider]

@findlay27 1(A)B is still there, dunno if it bounces. I've never been hit by it. The AI is way better this time around.  Dunno if that'll work.

[DestinStrider]

[jordanhell45]

Amazing job :)
