Gameplay Overview
Vice is a character that heavily relies on close range combat and grappling. She can quickly pull the opponent towards her with Deicide and follow-up with her command grab Gore Fest or just a standard combo in general. She can punish opponents that are in the middle of a evasive roll or just crouching with her Splash move. From a physical attacking stand point she can use her Mayhem attack to quickly knock opponents to the ground and still follow-up with Splash, but from a grappling POV she can use her air DM Overkill or her ground DM Negative Gain. Her Neo Max Awakening Blood is great for catching opponents off guard because of its speed, and her HD combos revolve around her using Mayhem and Deicide. Due to her demanding play-style she'll feel welcome with any player that is looking for a bit of a challenge.
Gameplay Notes
Pros
- A good variety of throws
- Damaging BnBs
- Good corner pressure/mix up
- Anywhere juggle EX Decide allows her to combo off of nearly any anti-air or air-to-air hit
Cons
- She has trouble getting close
- Very meter dependent
- Weak against projectiles
Normals
Standing
st. A: 25 damage, chain/cancellable, hits mid. A quick punch attack. Stops jump-ins.
st. B: 30 damage, cancellable, hits mid. Kick with good horizontal range.
st. C: 80 damage, hits mid. Standing high punch with excellent range making it useful for punishing laggy whiffed moves. Nice poking tool.
st. D: 70 damage, hits mid. High kick, nice range, goes pretty high making it a decent AA but only if timed, can be beaten easily if anticipated. Can be chained into from cl. D.
cl. C: 70 damage, cancellable, hits mid. An elbow to the stomach, rather mediocre range but can still be used to initiate combos.
cl. D: 70 damage, cancellable, hits mid. Knee attack with decent range. Her fastest close heavy normal.
Crouching
cr. A: 25 damage, cancellable, hits mid. It's the same as her st. A except she's crouching now.
cr. B: 30 damage, chain/cancellable, hits low. A quick crouching kick which is a pretty good poke that's great for chaining lights into combos.
cr. C: 70 damage, cancellable, hits mid. Looks the same as her close C except executed while crouching. Decent AA angle, but shouldn't be favored over st.a or st.d
cr. D: 80 damage, whiff cancellable, hits low. Crouching sweep kick which knocks standing opponents down when hit. Can connect EX Decide after hit, but tough to confirm.
Jumping
j. A: 45 (40) damage, hits overhead. A quick punch attack and a relatively basic air poke. Great for poking in air to ground.
j. B: 45 (40) damage, hits overhead. Air kick attack with good horizontal range. Good for air to air situations.
j. C: 72 (70) damage, hits overhead. A heavy air punch attack, a good air to ground attack.
j. D: 70 (68) damage, hits overhead. Air kick attack with good horizontal range just like her jump B. Whiffs on crouching opponents though.
Blowback Attack
CD: 75 damage, whiff/cancellable, hits mid. Vice moves her leg forward then she does a hard punch attack with excellent reach. Relatively slow but a good move to move forward or cancel into decide or splash.
j. CD: 90 (80) damage, hits mid. Heavy punch attack reaches far out horizontally. Does a good chunk of hitstun. A common way to start her anywhere juggle combos. Great for air-to-air, but can easily be crouched and punished.
GCCD: 10 damage, hits mid. Guard Cancel Blowback Attack
Throw
Death Blow = b/f + C/D close - 100 damage, can be recovery rolled. Vice grabs the opponent then slashes them across the face. Against Chin and Athena you can link an EX Decide before they hit the ground.
Command Moves
Dokken = f+A - Vice makes a fist then hits the opponent on the head.
- Good for stringing normals into special attacks
- Is an overhead on its own so it will hit crouching opponent
- Can be considered a good candidate for okizeme's and if timed right it can be used to initiate HD mode
- Works best after a reverse knockdown as it leaves lesser room for error.
- Super cancelable
- Damage: 70
Special Moves
Deicide = hcf+K - Vice swipes her arm towards the ground really fast, when it connects with the opponent she retracts her arm to normal length pulling the opponent into close range for a possible follow-up combo.
- Both versions go half a screen's length although the D version she takes a step forward
- B version can be comboed into but the only follow up are her command throws
- D version cannot be combo into due to the slower start up but can free canceled into A Mayhem, Gorefest or Negative Gain DM. D Decide also has abetter vertical hitbox and can catch opponents out of hop height, but doesn't have much priority.
(EX) = hcf+BD - Faster and has more invincible start-up.
- It can also pull opponents forward that are still in hit-stun or a juggled state otherwise known as an "anywhere juggle" move.
- Can be followed up with a close C or D
- Hit Detection: High/EX: Mid/Low
- Damage: 0
Gore Fest = hcb f+P - Vice grabs her opponent then rushes forward dragging them across the ground then throws them into the air.
- Instant start-up, great for punishing.
- Sets up good okizeme with ambiguous rolls and safe jumps.
(EX) = hcb f+AC - The range when she grabs is extended to about a character length.
- Hit Detection: Close/Grab
- Damage: 20x6+40/25x6+70
Splash = dp+P - Vice leaps forward and grabs any grounded opponent and slams them to the ground.
- Air to ground throw
- A version goes 2 character's length, good tool to catch opponents off-guard.
- C version goes 3/4 screen, good for punishing predictable fireballs.
(EX) = dp+AC - Faster start-up and faster in general, lower jump arc than A version. Vice crouches very low to the ground on start-up, so it can be used to low-profile under certain moves, but has no invincibility.
- Hit Detection: Close/High - Damage: 100/150 - Can be drive canceled into air DM
Mayhem = qcb+P - Vice does a charging shoulder tackle that knocks the opponent down on contact.
- A version goes a short distance, combos from light normals. Unsafe on block.
- C version goes farther and does more damage. Can only be comboed from heavy normals or cl.c/d > f.a
- Can be drive/super canceled as soon as the shoulder connects
(EX) qcb+AC = - Faster and has more invincible start-up. Also launches the opponent into the air for a possible follow-up
- Drive/Super Cancellable
- Hit Detection: Close/High
- Damage: 60/90/160
Splash = qcf+P - The same Splash move except done after Mayhem, it also has its own specific input and can be super canceled into air DM right before she slams the opponent to the ground.
- Super Cancellable
- Hit Detection: Close/High
- Damage: 100/150
Desperation Moves
Negative Gain = hcbx2+K - Vice somersaults backwards and grabs her opponent by the neck with her legs then proceed to do three back-flips slamming the opponent each time she lands on the ground.
(EX) hcbx2+BD - Much wider hitbox at start-up, does five slams instead of three, a huge red skull comes out on the last slam which is the Max Cancel point
- Max Cancellable
- Hit Detection: Close/grab
- Damage: 70x2+80/60x4+100
Overkill = db, tk, u, d+P in air - Vice laughs maniacally slamming the opponent to the ground, then falls on them making a huge red skull come out of the ground from under the opponent, it can be buffered with a tk input (qcf, uf) while you're still on the ground
- Hit Detection: Grab in air
- Damage: 220
Neomax
Awakening Blood = qcb hcf+AC - Vice undresses her top revealing an Orochi birthmark on her right shoulder, she then suddenly disappears while laughing causing a giant snake-like eye to appear then a bloody snake coil flies across the screen quickly running the opponent over, it always appears from behind Vice making it extremely useful to use while cornered, it can also be used to punish jump-in
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 450
Combos
Combo tip: Vice can convert many anti airs, air to airs, and even her sweep into a combo with her anywhere juggle EX Decide.

Strategies
Far Range
-From afar she has little to threaten. Your only tools to threaten at a distance is Decide or Splash. Use these to keep them honest and close the distance.
Mid Range
- In mid range, you have a lot more tools to threaten. Remember that any hit that knocks them out of the air can turn into a full combo with EX Decide, including a lot of trades. - Hop CD is an air-to-air wall. Be carefully about using forward hop with it, as you can be trip-guarded easily. Mix in j.c and j.d to cover several angles. - St.a is your go-to reactionary AA, while EX Mayhem is great against regular jumps or floaty hops. - Far D is great to pre-emptively stop hops and jumps, and if you hit it meaty you can link EX Decide. For style, if you have the meter you can also AA with far D, then HD cancel, then EX Decide - Cr.b has great range, abuse it.
Close Range
- Cr.b, f.a, and command grab. If you catch them standing still you have all three to mix them up with. - EX Gore fest and her ground DM both have great and deceptive range.
Cornered Opponent - Keep at close/mid range so you can still threaten with hop CD.
Cornered - GC Blowback and get out of there! - EX Mayhem is great to get through fireballs and unsafe blockstrings, but it's use as a reversal is limited as it is slow and easily safe-jumped. - EX splash can beat some jumps and normals if timed right.
With No Meter/No Drive
- Gorefest builds a lot of meter, so use that to end combos at first.
With 1+ Meter/No Drive
- Always be ready for EX Decide - EX Mayhem has a lot of combo possibility, especially with 2 meters.
With No Meter/50%-100% Drive
- Vice only gets a lot of damage from drive cancels if you also have Super meter, so don't do one without the other.
With 1+ Meter/50%-100% Drive
Best Team Position?
-2nd or 3rd. She needs meter badly.
