*Additional Notes
Astaroth's movement is terrible so you need to be patient with him and control space with your ranged strikes
Abusing command throws can become a crutch once opponents start crouching
Astaroth's CE is an i24 unbreakable Command Throw. If you have i24 advantage and are in range, you can "guarantee" the move (it is avoided by crouching naturally)
The 46A+G/64A+G throws can dodge high attacks,
the 44A+G throw also has a "Just Frame" by releasing the "B" right before the opponent hits the ground (though they can tech it if you hold it too long)
