Algol Soul Crush List

[Sacharja]

Moves are listed by how many consecutive blocks it takes for them to lead to a Soul Crush.
Tested against Apprentice, with neutral Soul Gauge and 1st and 2nd action guard all (SG doesnt recover while blocking). Didnt list anything that requires more than 15 blocks to crush.
This thread can also be used to discuss setups and viability of Algols Soul Crush game.

so is a soul crush even viable? The most effective moves don't seem too safe.

 

[Tiamat]

I haven't personally landed any soul crush since the patch, even before the patch I'd only landed one. IMO Algol not a good CF character. However, use 2B+K enough and you might prove me wrong.

Is this list for 1.02 or 1.03?

 

[WARUI_NE]

i got one by abusing 4 AA with the 2 b+k against a kilik noob. dont know if that counts

 

[crow_winters]

If someone wants to sit there and not duck v. a high high over and over again, by all means CF them. :)

 

[Tiamat]

4AA is character specific too, on some characters the second hit is extremely prone to missing

 

[WARUI_NE]

i meant 3AA my bad

 

[crow_winters]

3AA is MEGA punishable. If they don't punish it, whore it, but just keep in mind that versus anyone that has the smallest inkling of how to fight Algol, you will get hurt for using it.

 

[WARUI_NE]

its good for starting bubble combos

 

[vi3t_hugh]

not guaranteed

 

[WARUI_NE]

im starting a 1.03 list should i make a new thread or put it in this one?

these numbers are pre patch

Those are some nice moves, never thought of Algol like that.
