This move is interesting, if you want to do Tunguska Bomber, you can't press HP or do MAX, as it will prioritize the 5HP it's chainable before the super. The 5HP is far, so you can cancel it from there.

Kamchatka Collapse: Antonov does a high kick in front of him. Good AA

Moby Dick Burst: Climax. Souped up Whale Stream, big startup, flies halfscreen. 460 DMG.


Antonov is a big guy, his normals are big, and since he's half legs, a lot of his normals may whiff on smaller characters like Choi. Be cautious, but his 5LKs hit low. Put him 2nd or 3rd on your team to take advantage of the extra meter, MAX Cancelling is your friend with Antonov. Also take note of what cancels into EX Gigantic Back, the wallsplat in the corner means HUGE damage. Tunguska Bomber is great damage for combo enders.

His hops are still pretty big and slow, but take advantage of jHP and jHK. Big normals and specials means you're going to get pushed back after everything, so take use of MAX Cancelling to make things more safe, as well as closing the gaps.
