Unique Mechanics

Voldo is the only character in the game with a entire second movelist when he is Back Turned; also sometimes called Blind stance. The general rule of thumb is voldo can play differently depending on which way he is facing. When he is front facing he has decent movement, good zoning tools, good gap closers and good whiff punishers and is generally defensive. When he is back turned he has overall faster buttons, a i12 mid horizontal Critical edge, and a good offense but the actual worst movement in the game.

As a Voldo player you have to make sure you are facing correctly per each situation lest you put yourself in very dire situations with little to do about it.
