Totally distinct though then could be mixed just like any other styles used for the markets.
OK, but, I'm also trying to understand the nuances of VSA that would lead the candlestick boys to trash your methodology.

Not that the nuances of candlesticks aren't subtle enough as it is, given that something may have been "lost in translation" by Nison, et al, from the original Japanese implementation.

Candlestick analysis with reference to the corresponding volume bar is what VSA is all about; traditional candlestick trading eschews any reading of volume, correct?
