Completely agree. There are still whiffing issues NOT mentioned here, like 22B, 6B, and 22AA. I'm really hoping the damage buff from 22B and the A-grabs are substantial, otherwise Astaroth is still garbage.

Thoughts?

Ran some matches with Lolo. I made some pretty silly mistakes here and there, but overall, this showcases how I use Asta in 6. Notes... I kept missing the just frame on 44A+G due to network inconsistencies. 9A+G can safely close distance due to very few recovery frames. I like occasionally...

Shoutouts to BrahmaDDT for joining my room last night and grinding out quite a few matches with me and my really good Siegfried friend. A note for everyone here to remember: Change up which combo you perform after a CH 6K depending on your positioning. Opponent's back is near ring edge - CH...

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I confuse them nearly every other match...

Meanwhile, 2_8 A+B just feels so much worse in this game. Reduced range, and many characters can backstep and punish a whiff if read correctly. Ugh... hurts my soul.

I should be maxing my damage, but I'm using the old CH 6K, 44B combo. It never whiffs and sets you up for a mid-range FC 2A or FC3K if they try to press buttons or step. Have you guys toyed with 66A+B? When I first saw it, I thought it was a really silly move, but it actually has ridiculous...

It can, but it's not guaranteed. I meant I use it defensively, like if a Siegfried is using WR A,A on block, jump that second hit with 8A+G.

I exclusively use 8_9B as the jumping attack. I completely agree that it's amazing. 8A+G can't be grab-broken by opponents, so I use that strings ending in a low, tech-crouching move.

After still sticking with Astaroth, I'm finding that we're all probably just not used to this iteration of him. You have to play pretty differently this time around, as RE completely changes the game. I'm not saying we won't struggle a bit, but it's not the end of the world. Here are some...

Am I the only one that gets 22B when I try to 11B? It happens frequently and I've never had that issue before...

This is wonderful info. Thanks!

I find soul charge pretty useful, as it actually allows you to open up the opponent. Here are my soul charge tips: Never sit on 2 bars. You're wasting potential meter build-up if you hold on to two meters and never spend any of it. Throw out a soul charge to get rushdown characters off of you...

Buff the damage on those pitiful armored/running low grabs. Or make them unbreakable. As it stands, they're just gimmicks and wastes of moves.

Only Voldo and Astaroth can. The movelist even specifies this.
