2A, Use it, Love it.

[PyroZamfir]

So I acknowledge that as soon as I post this i'm going to get flamed.

2A is a SOLID move, at 17 frames it's a decent poke at long range, but here's the wonder, when your opponent blocks agA and learns to not retaliate after (due to the wonderful block trap that it is and 6K/K defeating highs and 3B either high crushing or beating out 15 frame mids) Your opponent may eventually become wise to the fact this move is awesome. You could ofcourse continually agA until siegfried achieves an orbit all his own. OR you could piss off your opponent with 2A as agA puts him at a perfect distance to abuse the hell out of 2A. Use it, love it, piss off your opponents and use their tactless rage to their own demise.

P.S at max range it's a little tough to punish, even on block unless you're fighting sisters. Then again the rules don't apply to them

2A has nice range and is good for a round ender but i think there are way better options post AgA. On CH it still leaves you in minus and doesnt do much damage anyway so you arent getting much. Personally id rather go for the JF A+k low if my opponent is freezing up. It has more range, isnt that much slower and gives you mad frame adv on hit. Not to mention it has a follow up. Yeah its slower and you might get intterupted, but if your opponent knows their stuff they are going to interrupt a 17 frame move after AgA anywayl.

Hmm i find 2A is pretty bad :/ considering alternatives like 22K2A jf low. aGA blocked differs depending on where u use it...so 2A is not always viable. Also being terribly negative on block even against the non sisters. And also terribly negative on hit, doesn't TC last time i checked, and doesn't even stop steps well, doesn't do much damage, doesn't give anything really but put you in an awkward position. I'm not too convinced yet....post matches of me seeing you use it well, and make me a believer ;)

It has better range than it did in SC3 and has a reliable TC (unlike SC3). He basically stole Nightmare's SC3 2A in this game, though it's still a bit worse.

Ill curtainly give it a try.

U ppl always mention sisters and forget the outlaw Cervantes :P He could be their father. No wait... Ivy is the 3rd sister :P (The power of three will set them free)

Nikkelz: Speak of the devil i was at the TO tournament yesterday and once the matches get posted from there i'll link them ;).

Like I said it requires pretty specific circumstances to use properly (about max range). agA has good pushback to put you in the proper range, and like i said, it's a post agA option for when they learn not to attack afterward and you're not out of reach for a frame advantage throw attempt. These are all possibilities, i just don't think that people should rule out a useful tool for tripping their opponents up.

Pyro has killed me many a time with the 2A ankle biter. Still, as I've said before, Pyro, I'd never dare use that sucker outside of tip-range. Ever. Better off with 1K for a low at that point.

But can it be awesome with agA/jagA as a starter, and as a match ender? Definitely.

agA to 2A pokes... sound like a good idea to me.

Edit1: agA to 2A works like a charm, thanks for the idea!
