Two main scenarios being if an opponent hits you m and recovers with enough time to duck and if you use it to get in and they let you stomp up to them.
He has a large hurtbox and very narrow hitboxes, and he's slow. Don't get it twisted though, his damage output is pretty good and he is capable of being a bully but he's absolutely a character which only works when his opponent is scared or conditioned. All of his best tools rely heavily on your...
Right now, if you don't wanna work and if you don't wanna be on some Galaxy-Brain-Shit then don't play Astaroth.
There is currently no easy path for him.
