VG To-do:

Looks excellent! I'd just like to see some more wikification, but the graphical organisation is well-thought-out, and the layout looks superb. jglc | t | c 18:01, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Good article. However, ground-pounding Voldos, with their provocative libations, pose a threat to us all.

[edit] Um... Deaf?

It's great that you guys want to expand on articles related to deafness and deaf culture and all that, but... Voldo ain't deaf. He's blind, last I checked. Albino Bebop 00:53, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Correct. Trust us people, if he were blind AND deaf then he would have no reasonable way of fighting in this game.ThegreatWakkorati (talk) 10:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey, Cyberboz.

I hate to do this to you, redirect your page and all, but I thought it would be best if the page title was more specific such that if another meaning to Voldo comes along at any point in time, this page can serve as a disambiguation to the term or something like that. That being said, I think the page is looking great, and my ideas were strangely very similar to yours, especially with the big box on the right side with the general biographical information. I hope you don't mind too much about the future redirections, but I thought it'd be good to tell you this now before you've finished too many to turn back. Great pages, though. --Shackleton (19 July 2005)

Hi Shackleton !

Just thanks for the change I still a newbie in Wikipedia and the redirection is ok ! I've done the same with Heishiro Mitsurugi (Soul Calibur). I really like to work with you ! --Cyberboz (19 July 2005)

[edit] Move

This page was moved to Voldo from Voldo (Soul Calibur) after a request was posted at WP:RM as the former is presently unambiguous. The move request was originally made at Talk:Voldo (Soul Calibur) which I have now redirected to here. Dragons flight 19:45, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Character Analysis

Umm, great article about a great character and all, but there should be a character analysis. --Brobbo 19:08, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Huh?

It was said in the Trivia section that Voldo "possesed a homosexual tendacies". Any proof for this claim?

They were probably basing that assumption off his blind devotion to his master and the fact that most of his costumes look like they'd be right at home in a BDSM shop. Drago 07:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
"BDSM"?ThegreatWakkorati (talk) 17:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Voldo's costumes

Shouldn't a note be made on Voldo's costumes past 'He is the only character besides Ivy with a thong.'? His costumes are all slightly disturbing - In fact one of his SCII alternate costumes appears to be based off of the xenomorph from the Alien series. That could probably at the least make an interesting Trivia addition. Drago 07:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry about that.
Just because he is a male and not a female and doesn't have ample and equally exposed bosoms to back up his bare buttocks is no reason to go all nuts over the fact that he's wearing a "thong-like" harness. Not that I'm saying that was what you were doing, I'm just saying...GROW UP AMERICA! None of you seemed to put up much of an arguement for Ivy's costumes. That is, until they tried to cover her in a bodysuit...
NOT that I'm implying that is what you were thinking and/or saying.ThegreatWakkorati (talk) 23:08, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wow.

"The Blind stance can even be sometimes more useful than the normal stance and because of this, successfully blocking any move while in Blind stance will instantly turn Voldo back around to normal stance meaning that a player must take the opponent's attack in order to maintain the stance given that Voldo does not fall down but simply pressing B+K could return Voldo back into Blind stance although this may only take a split-second, it may leave Voldo open to backthrows if there's not much distance between the players."

If some start to make coments about Voldo's wearing, there are start to go more and more, and some of them are irrelevant and bashing. It is obvious that Voldo dress weird, but the reasons for doing so are unknown.

[edit] MTV

I briefly saw this MTV awards thing where some dude dressed up as Voldo, came in doing a Mantis crawl, and handed an announcer some card with his foot? I even commented on it at the time. Anybody else see this? Dessydes 18:33, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Top Voldo Players?

Some mention should be made of the top Voldo players over the years, namely Aris, Enkindu and Esom.


[edit] Cheat

My friend once told me about a cheat he got for Voldo in Sould Calibur 3. He said that he hacked into his game and was able to see Voldo without his suit on. And also he said he saw Voldos true from, a demon. He says Voldo is a demon in a human body and he used to be lord of the universe. He saws the demon form is really creepy. I looked on the internet and found no info and it didnt seem like he was lying, because he was able to tell what Voldo looked like really describtley. Anyone has info or a picture on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heroman2 (talk • contribs) 22:51, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Seems like your friend is lying. Even with hacks, it would not have been developed into the game. The stories ingame are about as true as you can get, as well. Your friend is a good lyer. 59.188.121.2 (talk) 14:11, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gay mummy

A gay mummy? Voldo is not a mummy and where is there any proof of Voldo's sexual oriantation? Should I remove this? I think it's vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.30.29 (talk) 03:31, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

It was vandalism; it's been removed. EnviroboyTalkCs 03:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Er...where did you get the "gay mummy" thing from?ThegreatWakkorati (talk) 10:32, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name theory

I have this hunch that the character's name was supposed to be Bordeaux, and the Japanese phonetics ended up translating it wrong. "Bor" => ボ ル, "deaux" => ド. However, this is pure speculation so... Mylakovich (talk) 17:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
