Do you think Astaroth is a MONSTER or do you think he's WEAK? Also, who else likes headbutting opponents to death haha?

I gotta check this out when I get home from work. I'm trying to get platinum trophy on Ps4 and need four more ranked wins. I noticed Astoroth players are more strategic and dont button mash. Im trying to get out of the habbit of button mashing with other characters
Asta isn't keep away. That's Mina. He's actually a sort of vortex grappler, abusing enemy ukemi rolls with low throws or wakeup grabs. You get your pressure from knockdowns or BA.
@ShowerOnceYearly as I recall, it was about damage maximization after combos. And yes, instigating the vortex by playing close and getting good guesses. It's not about knowing a number of moves, it's about not dropping them and getting good quarter circle grabs and follow ups
5:54 The 46 and 64 Throws also dodge highs. I get Nightmares who think they can 6AA me at the start of the round all the damn time with them. 6:18 44A+G also has a justframe version, release that B button right as the opponent hits the ground and you get the increased damage version too but opponents can tech to the side if you hold it too long. You'll hear the 'ching' when it happens.
Asta is barely a grappler because of the SC mechanics, where throws are the slowest in any game. At 18 frames, I'd say they're reactable if you're in a defensive mindset; it's not like he has fast lows so you either look for the grab animation or keep blocking. The held Command Grabs aren't "guard breaks", they're RE and GI breakers

#Astaroth #SoulCalibur #SC6
Man, Astaroth was my main on ... SC2
Never play other SC since ... But your video give me entertainement, wanna try
Thx friend
You're welcome! Have fun!
You should get bonus damage if you get them right up against the wall and do that move where you spin around real fast over and over.
I just started learning astaroth today so that's super convenient. Thanks for the great video.
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
R1 then pressing triangle when you are into the mode is the most OP thing, makes rings outs so easy
I’ve been waiting for a guide on Astaroth
He's a fun character if you like smashing heads haha! 😎

Indeed. Good luck!

when you got good with him, was it more about memorizing the moves or was it more about muscle memory after doing different moves enough times?

Ah, yes, thanks for that. forgot about those in the moment when recording.
god i love asta...
He's a beast!
One of my all time favorite characters ever since SC2. Also, since you mentioned DoA, who do you think is the closest analogue to Astaroth there?
Either Bass (close range grappler) or Raidou (ranged heavyweight).
@@ForceofNature99 oh okay. Raidou surprises me. I would have maybe thought Nyo, but i know little to nothing about Raidou. Thank you so much
@@antennevearos6398 NyoTengu is similar to Astaroth also with the ranged combat and strong throws, including ground throws.
sorry i cant figure it out, what does BTB mean?
"BTB"? You mean BTB+K? BackTurned-B+K (Press B+K when your back is to the opponent).
@@ForceofNature99 that makes a lot of sense thank you very much
What about maxi guude?
I'll get to him eventually!
You been hit by you been struck by Astaroth wow
Astaroth is a beast.
@@ForceofNature99 yes. I thought of the beast for Beauty and the beast for a second. But yes he is a beast
Idk if it adds any extra damage but you can catch airborn opps with either 214/236 a+g for the perfect
Lit 🔥
👍

soulcaliber 3 or 4 was the last time I've played caliber 🤔
CH 3K does not combo into low throw, sorry
It doesn't combo into a low throw but it does force crouch allowing for a low throw attempt.
Bro this character is horrible
He's not exactly one of the best characters in SCVI, though I still think he's quite serviceable. His damage output is nuts.
They put damage on a turd to make it seem like it's not that bad and now in 2024 he's even worse
