It's Hammer Time! [Astaroth General Discussion]

in case anyone's wondering i moved a bunch of threads and merged them into others. nothing's been deleted, you just may have to look around for it. sorry for the inconvenience...but there was no reason to have 25 threads about 7 different things...

So, is there a good follow up to catching someone with a 3b, 4ab at the start of a match? I usually just go for a 22_88 b, but it usually gets blocked. : /

3B? is that his launcher? if thats the same move that comes out of 6AB, then you should be able to follow up with 2A+K. no matter what direction they try to roll in, it catches. I dont think they can get up in time to get out of it, its should be guaranteed.

Not sure if you meant 4ab or 6ab in your post though
 
do you guys use 66b anymore? i find it very very situational now, being used only as a punisher for unsafe moves with good pushout lol >.<

theres currently only one situation where i always use it and thats after a blocked mitsu 66bb.

i wish they at least made this knockdown on NH and all ranges.
 
I like to use 66b out of range so I whiff and then immediately shoulder(66k) it seems to work a lot. Not against Lobo but all the other ABQ heads and thanks for coming by the house(PAT's) the other night lobo to smash us.
 
Me either, I was thinking it was the Air Grab where he kinda bear hugs them then breaks the enemies back on his knee.
 
if you're whiffing the titan bomb, you are waiting too long before entering the 28B+G.. just do it faster :P

exactly the problem i had in the beginning. thought i could only do it when i had knock down equipped. xD turns out i just had to input the thing faster.

still though, why does it whiff on amy? w/e. i can live with it. for now.
 
You can hit amy with titan bomb you just have to time it a little bit differently. Since she is a small sized character you have to wait for her to drop a little bit before entering the command because she floats like a blimp O.o? Works for me all the time.
 
why is the throw damage from 2b+k scaled even on block? in fact it shouldn't be scaled even on hit, throws aren't scaled off other 2 hit combos like 44[a] / CH 6b into throws... it makes no sense :|
 
6B+K...

So do any of you fellow Astys utilize 6B+K? It tech crouches, tech jumps, GI's mids, and can ring out on counterhit. However, of course, there are disadvantages. It hits high, is terrible on block, severely sidesteppable, and you can ring yourself out with it.

I don't overuse it, but when I can anticipate an attack, I might go for it. I also like that the GI frames on it seem to last a bit longer than appears. It has GI'ed from the side and back before too.

Does anyone else use this? And if any of you Astaroth users have XBL, feel free to send me a friend request. I don't have any other Asty users to fight against... :(
 
6B+K...

not in my movelist at all... i want to use it but i just cant find a good use for it. it would be better if it was mid and/or a little safer.

i would also love to know if someone has found a good use for this, good setups and even strings you can interupt with this?

i only ever pull out this move to be flashy :/
 
6B+K...

Well, I use it against Siegfried a lot. Since he uses 3B for a lot of setups, 6B+K stops it. Also, Sieg's "time to fly" (don't know the move notation) can be stopped with 6[B+K]. For this to work, you have to know it's coming and time the charge right.

Sometimes, I 6B+K after a blocked 66[K], but of course their are much safer and better options. It stops the rushy-type attackers though...
