'''Vice''' is a grappler/poking hybrid, with a special trick under her sleeve. Her moveset consists of a mix of very strong pokes and grappling tools. Combined with some very good hitconfirms, this allows Vice to play a solid fundamental game while also having the mixup options a grappler has. This incredibly strong neutral is marred by Vice having weaker pressure, with none of her grounded buttons offering any sort of frame advantage, alongside an incredibly floaty jump. Vice has to make the most of her pressure sequences, making sure she lands a strike or throw to keep the opponent trapped.
Vice's special trick under her sleeve is particularly unusual for a grappler character, especially in a game with relatively average damage like '98 UMFE. This is her '''infinite''' - a corner-only juggle combo that is '''incredibly difficult''' to pull off, requiring special execution tricks and MAX Mode to even begin. This allows her to steal rounds with some incredible damage, especially with her amazing corner carry. This gives Vice a resemblance gameplay wise to '''Raoh''' of ''Hokuto no Ken'', having relatively mediocre tools in exchange for the ability to completely steal rounds off of the correct opening. Due to the difficulty of this infinite, it can be argued that Vice has the most difficult traditional execution of any character in the game, at the exchange of having an infinite combo.
== Gameplay Overview ==
{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses
| intro = '''Vice''' is a hybrid between a poking character and a grappler, focusing on bringing her opponents to the corner to unleash her potent strike/throw mixups, or her devastating high execution infinite combo.
| pros=
* '''Amazing Pokes''': Vice's normals are very fit for long range poking, allowing her to play a very strong neutral game and scare the opponent into not approaching her.
* '''Solid Mixups''': With a 1f command grab that combos from most of her close normals, a command overhead and a delayed command grab, Vice has the ability to deliver strong mixups that can keep her opponent guessing.
* '''Strong Hitconfirms''': Vice's cl.D hits twice, allowing it to be hitconfirmed as a single button. Alongside this, she also has a 2B that is cancelable and allows her to hitconfirm specials, giving her a strong confirm game that reduces the risk of some of her tools.
* '''Corner Carry''': Vice's 1f command grab Gore Fest (632146P) travels half way across the entire stage, which allows Vice to drag you into the corner, where she becomes one of the scariest characters in the game.
* '''The Infinite''': Vice has the hardest combo in the game - a corner, MAX Mode infinite using Ravenous (j.214K) and Outrage (214K). The execution barrier for this combo is steep, but it gives Vice the ability to '''completely kill the opponent from a single opening'''.
| cons=
* '''Poor Pressure''': Without Extra meter to spend on a Quick MAX, Vice has zero way of obtaining plus frames from the ground, significantly weakening her pressure game.
* '''Meter Dependent''': Due to the requirement of Quick MAX to use her infinite without a counter hit, Vice has to hold on to her meter, disallowing her to use it for plus frames or safety. This also limits her system choice, as Extra meter is required to use Quick MAX.
* '''Poor Vertical Anti-Air''': While Vice is strong at defeating hops, her normals and specials are not very good at stopping full jumps or crossups, forcing her to use air-to-airs and strong positioning to keep a jump-happy opponent at bay.
* '''Weak to Zoning''': Vice's mediocre mobility and lack of long range tools outside of the slow Deicide (41236K) gives her a particular weakness to zoning characters such as Eiji and Rugal.
* '''Corner Reliant''': While Vice's corner options are among the best in the game, her midscreen options are considerably worse, forcing her to play around screen position and force the enemy to the corner.
}}
'''Difficulty'''
* At a basic level, Vice is very easy to pick up and play. Her strong pokes and easier confirms allow her to make use of most of her strengths at all levels.
* As is normal for a character with a lot of mixups, player creativity is required to make the most out of mixups and to make sure your opponent doesn't guess right.
* While using Vice at a normal level is easy, and not too executionally demanding, optimising Vice for the highest level is incredibly difficult. Vice's best combo requires a strong sense of positioning and very good execution, giving Vice a difficulty slope from beginner to expert.
* This difficulty slope means that Vice is a very solid pick for a new player, as you can develop your skills and execution as you go, with Vice's difficulty adapting depending on how far you want to take her.
=== System Mechanics ===
'''Run VS Step'''
* This is completely personal preference - Vice does not do any better with step or run.
* Run allows her to move more freely during pressure, whereas Step allows you to move in neutral faster.
'''Roll VS Dodge'''
* This is also personal preference - Dodge has its natural advantages, but roll can work just as well.
* There is some dodge cancel combos you can do, but these are very meter-hungry.
'''Advanced VS Extra'''
* Use Extra. Extra allows Vice to confirm into her infinite without a counter-hit, which is such a massive advantage that it completely removes any reason to use Advanced.

Gameplay Overview
Vice is a hybrid between a poking character and a grappler, focusing on bringing her opponents to the corner to unleash her potent strike/throw mixups, or her devastating high execution infinite combo.
Pros
Cons
Amazing Pokes: Vice's normals are very fit for long range poking, allowing her to play a very strong neutral game and scare the opponent into not approaching her.
Solid Mixups: With a 1f command grab that combos from most of her close normals, a command overhead and a delayed command grab, Vice has the ability to deliver strong mixups that can keep her opponent guessing.
Strong Hitconfirms: Vice's cl.D hits twice, allowing it to be hitconfirmed as a single button. Alongside this, she also has a 2B that is cancelable and allows her to hitconfirm specials, giving her a strong confirm game that reduces the risk of some of her tools.
Corner Carry: Vice's 1f command grab Gore Fest (632146P) travels half way across the entire stage, which allows Vice to drag you into the corner, where she becomes one of the scariest characters in the game.
The Infinite: Vice has the hardest combo in the game - a corner, MAX Mode infinite using Ravenous (j.214K) and Outrage (214K). The execution barrier for this combo is steep, but it gives Vice the ability to completely kill the opponent from a single opening.

At a basic level, Vice is very easy to pick up and play. Her strong pokes and easier confirms allow her to make use of most of her strengths at all levels.
As is normal for a character with a lot of mixups, player creativity is required to make the most out of mixups and to make sure your opponent doesn't guess right.

This difficulty slope means that Vice is a very solid pick for a new player, as you can develop your skills and execution as you go, with Vice's difficulty adapting depending on how far you want to take her.
System Mechanics
Run VS Step
This is completely personal preference - Vice does not do any better with step or run.
Run allows her to move more freely during pressure, whereas Step allows you to move in neutral faster.
Roll VS Dodge
This is also personal preference - Dodge has its natural advantages, but roll can work just as well.
There is some dodge cancel combos you can do, but these are very meter-hungry.
Advanced VS Extra
Use Extra. Extra allows Vice to confirm into her infinite without a counter-hit, which is such a massive advantage that it completely removes any reason to use Advanced.
