I'll double check the guide, in a bit and post the frame advantage
EDIT: It is +6 on hit and it is MID

It is basically the same as it was in SC4. It's a safe mid with full TC and good frames on hit.

Hi everyone I'm quite new to SC series but I like it. I have a noob question that Algol's CE's second version, which the move list says
236236A+B+K during hit 236A+B+K
However I tried many times but I was never able to work it out. I wonder the correct timing for "during hit". Same problem exists with Alpha Pat's many moves. Can anyone tell me the right timing of "during hit"? Thanks a lot.

its during the hit, you are probably putting it in too early. I like to time if for when algol's fist hits the ground and then put in the command for the 2nd part

Ok thanks. Let me try first and report later.

It turned out just what you said. Same method makes my BEs more stable, too. Thanks a lot.

Apart from A,A_2A, does Algol have any fast and safe stepkillers? 22A is too slow and 3A,A is -14 (both hits). Is 4A,B what I am looking for?
This and poor movement seem to be the biggest issues for me at the moment.

There's 66A, but it hits HIGH, the good thing is that it has TC frames, and is safe on block and its kinda fast

The problem is it's not safe on block.

4AB and 44AB are both easy to hit confirm but I'm not a fan of them. WR A is a great stepkiller from what I've found, and it gives a pretty scary throw/mid mixup on hit.

you mean 44AA, and I don't think it is hit confirmable. it's his best stepkill if you have full meters though.
Slade

Yeah, 44AA. I guess that's a testament to my lack of use of it.

4AB is pretty decent, easily hit-confirmable, decent range, knockdown etc. 44AA can indeed NOT be hit-confirmed, but it does ridiculous dmg with double super. Overall his stepkill is pretty weak. If people dont duck the 2nd hit of 6AAB I would always go with that for stepkilling first.

6AAB is really only useful if you predict that your opponent is going to side-step your linear attacks

Question. 66B to complete CE deals more than half hp, but 4B A then a complete CE deals WAAAAAAY less damage. Why?
Slade
[14] Master
The stun on 4B causes it to scale much harder. The same applies to moves like 22B and CH 1B.

I've been messing around with 44AA online after seeing y'all talk about it, and it's worked wonders. It's landed almost every time I used it, it's like the opp doesn't see it coming. It's a good step kill and for me it shut down opponents that were running towards me.

Some guy online tried to tell me that there were tournament banned characters in this game & that Algol was one of them? Jin the other? From the Tier talk above I'd say that's completely untrue exactly like I told him?

Algol was banned in SC4 but not now,DJ not banned in Japan.
