[Southern California] Kings Of the Ant Hill

yeah its pretty difficult to avoid damage when asta crushes ya. Generally though unless he's being flashy he isn't going to go for his CE unless you're near a wall. He can get very similar damage just off ab crumple or 6b crumple after a break with less meter use.

Yeah, we found out the hard way too when Xeph came down to visit from Reno with his Asta. Asta is a fuckin guard crushing, 44A too much range having, half life combo performing BEAST! Pretty disgusting how you're almost guaranteed to have your guard crushed by him at least once per game. Seems like when you're playing against him, fools need to have their JG/GI skills on point, otherwise you'll be hearing that fateful guard crush sound a whole lot. "But I blocked it!" lol.

I played with Jared on that tournament and his Asta is so solid. My Pat can't go in properly. 44A is such a powerful tool. Yeah, if someone has a good general anti-asta strat. please do share. thank you.
 
I think ducking more often than standing might be a good idea... his NH mids that can't be blocked on reaction aren't that scary are they?
 
All I got on Asty is stay on the ground more so you don't get ukemi'd or play that mix up game since he lost burial. (He did lose burial right?)

Also if you guys don't know, there's another tourney at Super Arcade this Sunday. We are planning on making these weekly. Come eliminate Aris so we get more hilarious salty commentary! XD
 
If you stay on the ground he can hit you with 4b all day. He doesn't get as much damage as he used to but it's a safe mid that prevents you from rolling and makes you stand straight up in his face. So all in all I'd say staying on the ground is not a good idea vs Asta.
 
The only thing balancing out 44A (Safe, ranged, tracking mid?) was step guard and thats nerfed...at least without glitches. I don't wanna have to abuse glitches to beat astaroth...as that may prove unreliable to say the least if they patch the game.

It seems possible to roll 4B all the time, just after certain knockdowns it's a bad idea.

Btw I remember you saying you wish bullrush knocked down still. Well, the FC 3K version does so go crazy
 
Yeah it does. It's -12 though compared to the -10 of regular bull rush. I'm not complaining or anything though, I think Asta is very good in this game. His strengths are even stronger in this game but his weaknesses are still there. The only time you can roll away from 4b is if it is charged as far as I know. If the Asta player just does 4b it should track on the ground.
 
hmm ... I can go at anytime. ideally around 6-7pm or so?

I can bring my ps3 setup as well ... my stick is dual modded, so either way works for me =]
 
Yeah I would feel more comfortable if I just brought my 360 over cause I'm not really good on the ps3 pad to begin with. ^___^"
I can head out there around 6:30 or 6:00 so I can be within that time gap that you are looking to heading out there. The only thing I don't have is an Asus monitor.
