Algol General Discussion / Q&A

CrazyYoshimitsu said:
Hey guys, I been thinking about this lately. It's about Algol bubbles, and how I think they can cause a control lock if hit by one I think you get a free hit. Anyone wanna test this for me?

SideNote: Where would you put on the tier lsit after 1.03?

Yeah it's pretty well known that if you space things right you can score stuff off of hit bubbles. It's the same way projectiles work in other games.
 
Dunno if this has been asked before here but does any1 know or have any ideas or thoughts on if algol will be in the next game SCV? I read on some forums ppl don't think he will because he is a boss character and he wudnt have much of a story or sumthing. Although ppl did also think he would stay. His moveset is original and alot of the old SC boss characters were just other ppls styles..
 
He's the Hero King resurrected. If you go to the soularchive and go to 'soul history' you'll see that technically he's been a part of the storyline since the beginning. If there will be a SCV, chances are he'll be back.
 
Hey does anyone know how to do that AT? when you pick up the opponent and you hand like explodes?

I started using Algol recently because i like the way he plays.

so... about his 66B,A... some people follow up with 623 A,B,K
but i was in training mode and i followed up with 66A+B and the dmg was pretty decent. and it always hits.

and i found out he can do the AT 8 B+K after a WS B...

any good uses for his 66B+K? i know it probably TCs during... but can you get a free 2A+B after?

thanks.
 
panda you should check out my guide

66BA > delay AB > 11B/2B is the best combo

WS B > 8B+K is characer dependent and also standing hit or crouching hit dependent. also CH

i dont think 66B+K guarantees a 2A+B
 
so for this video...

Oof said the first one works on "other big characters" ...

so what are the "Other big characters" other than Sieg and Nighty that gets pwn'd by the 130+ dmg combo?

my guesses: Raph, Asty, Zas, Vader... maybe Killik?
 
since no one wants to answer my question ^^^
i'll post new questions ... about his moves... certain ones... here goes

- FC 3B - considered as a "body attack"? what is its use(s)?
- 66B+K - use?
- 11_77K - this compared with 11_77A... possibly his most useless low?
- ShoryukenB - how long is the Parry/GI window on this? how would you rate this move on a scale of 1-5 (5 being best)

thanks...
 
I'm not sure if FC 3B is a body attack or not I have to check again.

11K is REALLY good low poke. great TC, track both sides well, good range, recovers standing (easy to backstep after hitting them), too fast to see on reflex realistically. have you seen my matches vs whodat amy? I use 11K a lot, you can even launch them if a bubble hits soon after

algol's worst low is probably 11B, only good thing about it is that it does more raw damage than any other reasonably fast low

shoryuken: auto-GI vs mids and lows activates super fast, but he cannot beat highs with the move until 10 frames in (TC window is later than auto GI window) so don't be surpised if you are thrown out of this move
