Lack of match-up knowledge (not punishing - reacting correctly) is suddendly out the equation when it comes to general level of a country ? You just explained perfectly why the general level is still low in Europe and US. Not that it's a final fact that cant evolve mind you, there's still time...

Good reminder Joel. Yeah, thinking Pantocrator is a whiny bitch is something, not agreeing on his PoV concerning balancing and Siegfried, that's perfectly fair. But disregarding him as a bad player or even a scrub... Well I'd love to see some of you trash talkers go against him in tournament or...

I understand, but I can assure you he was dead serious haha. I cant say anything for sure about SC5 tho. This chat was about SC4 and mainly how weak the bottom tiers are in this game.

I asked why Rock and Mina are so weak. I had those two in mind because it is beyond ridiculous how weak they are. The answer was (translated by his friend, Utoh) : " Can you imagine Rock being stronger or even as strong as Astaroth ? Or Mina being on the same level as Kilik ? " He meant on a...

All of this... If you guys knew how Daishi really consider tier and characters strengths, you wouldnt dare asking for a patch or "re-balance" haha Had a little chat about SC4 balance in 2010 with him, back in Japan. Why Rock or Mina suck so much, and shit. The answers were unbelievable =)

I dont see how Raphael can discourage an opponent from attacking, advantage or not. He lacks good and fast, damaging counter tools to stop abuse of TC / TS / TJ attacks from destroying him. Concerning Asta vs Leixia, I stand by my words. Astaroth can fish counter against Leixia if she wants to...

That actually does make a lot of sense. My objection is that you took counter fishing out of the equation, and outside of throws mixup, this is the other source of damage for Astaroth. And given the agressive playstyle that Leixia has and the fact that she has to take risks when trying to break...

Nightmare will win the zoning war against Astaroth because he can punish any whiff way faster than the golem, and his movements are way better. But still Astaroth shut down a lot of his pressure / setups, that's true. I consider this match-up a 6::4 for Astaroth but the recent glitch on 33B...

Well I'm surprised everybody doesnt know this already, proof again that we need to share more. It works wonder after 6[B+K], 66[K] and 66K be revenge launch too !

Good Lord, that escalated quickly. I'm back in my civilized country where at least I can have a discussion without having some angry mob coming at me, poor Astaroth player, for no reason. Heatens ! Au revoir !

Well I hesitated to reply Darkslayer as it seems very obvious you either here to troll or to vent some rage. Thx for the real infos on the Ivy vs Astaroth MU tho. I'll study this more with Malek asap. Just in case you're being serious, I'd like to answer this. First you can add Natsu to this...

Well your main mixup of 3B / throws is very strong against Astaroth since 3B 6B8 is a natural on him. That's still a big thing to take in count IMO. As for the TC issue, 1K isnt a bad example =) Plus, you can use some iFC1B. Btw, that's quite a throw punishment you have here ! I cant see an...

A lot of frenchies cant play against Astaroth atm. After my retirement, almost nobody was playing the golem anymore in France. I was incredibly surprised at how bad they handled the match-up against excellent Astaroths like JAG, Itazan, SatanaXXX and Asodimazze. That might explain the poor...

Focusing on my beefs with the game instead of getting everyone in my country better was a big mistake. Not playing the game for 9 months and retiring so early was another one. No more. We'll be back.

To add more inputs, Itazan said that in his opinion the worst match-ups of Astaroth are 1) Natsu, then Alpha and Mitsurugi. He said then Omega in 4th position. We may have lost some details in translation tho. He added that, for him, Astaroth is strong and he can beat every characters even if...

Pyrrha is the only Alexandra you can remotely zone with Asta without taking too many risks. That cant be said for Omega & both version of Patroklos. Omega DNS game wrecks Astaroth zoning, and once at close range she dominates him anyway. If it's not a 3:7 it's a very heavy 4-6. Algol owns...

Here's my match-up list for Astaroth : Aeon : 4-6 Algol : 3-7 Alpha : 3-7 Cervantes : 4-6 Dampierre : 6-4 (??) Ezio : 6-4 Hilde : 4-6 Ivy : 5-5 Leixia : 6-4 Maxi : 4-6 Mitsurugi : 3-7 Natsu : 3-7 Nightmare : 6-4 Patroklos : 3-7 Pyrrha : 5-5 Omega : 3-7 Raphael : 7-3 Siegfried : 5-5 Tira : 4-6...
