So according to this thread-----> http://www.8wayrun.com/showthread.php?t=4148
The community is looking for a proper matchup chart for every characters chances against other certain characters. 10 being an easy win and 1 being un winnable. I consider myself a pretty good Ast player, but Im no pro. Here's my opinion based on my personal opinions against playing these characters (mostly online BTW)
Algol -5 bubble spam has never bothered me much with as. He is probably slower than as, all I ever worry about are the lows and the BT attacks that catch me off guard
Amy -4 Auto GIs are a pain. Speed is a pain, Ukemi game is a pain esp with Ast. I find getting up off the ground as ast biggest weakness due to the slownes of his moves.
Astaroth -5 duh
Cassandra - 3 BB gotcha! BB gotcha, so on and so on. She is high tier in most books for a reason
Cervantes -5 Once you get past the triple stun combo he is just waiting to be throw. Deceptive reach makes him an issue sometimes
Darth Vader -5 Bassically Ast without the throws. Stiff and simple. Even match
Hilde -4 Her one weakness seems to be getting side stepped from a distance which plays well for ast. I havent met any that have ever dominated me.
Ivy -5 Alot of her best moves put ast in a good position to throw/counter from a distance. Sword state seems laughable against ast.
Kilik -3 Such a friggen pain to fight even the scrubs with Ast. Power, spd, range and wake up attacks all basically trump Asts best attributes
Lizardman- 4 Same realm as the sisters just got to be patient.
Maxi -7 Gaps in moves set him up for all kinds of punishment.
Mitsurugi- 5 Only difficult online. Love to tittan bomb him out of that jumping sword flip. Very punishable and easy to keep out of range if you are patient, of course once in range be able to GI
Nightmare -5 Always puts himself in throw range, Ukemi game can be a hassle. Only punishes well high which can be bull rushed.
Raphael - 5 If you dont know how to deal with prep, look out. If you do, just keep off the ground and moving.
Rock- 7 Ast's kid brother. Same tactics but Ast has bigger guns
Seong Mi-Na -6 Ive just never found her difficult to fight in any way.
Setsuka -5 Speed is an issue but puts herself in crouch grabs and relies too much on counter attacks
Siegfried -4 Stance trance kills me. I personally have problems with him but It might just be my plaing style
Sophitia - 3 UGGGGHHHH!!!!
Taki -5 Again constant movement can put her in position for throws. Has to gamble a lot.
Talim -6 Thought she was unbeatable for months til i started seeing how she leaves herself soooo open in the majority of her offense.
The Apprentice -5 Annoying but essentially underpowered.
Tira -7 I just dont know what she is good for?
Voldo -4 Constant movement minus the easy throwing angles. Wicked lows and unpredictability make him a difficult fight.
Xianghua - 3 The only 3 on here that I dont feel bad about. Just have played some X's that used her deceptive range and speed adv to make life real hard
Yoda - 9 ...
Yoshimitsu - 6 I dont get confused easy, once you get going he cant really stop you. Block low!
Yun-seong - 5 A weaker version of X, Posing from a distance is a good way to get Ax smacked, surprising minimal speed advantage
Zasalamel - 6 As long as I block the low mixups (which is hard online) he is a cakewalk
Let the argument begin
