Astero is an American Falco main from Washington state. He was formerly ranked 9th on the Eastern Washington Power Rankings. He is known for his flashy playstyle similar to that of Mango. To date, Astero is known as one of the best reaction-tech-based players in the region, along with Jcklonk.
Astero is currently being considered for a Eastern Washington-Based melee team, known as Team Divine, along with Chrono.
Playstyle
Astero is known for his exceptional performance against Fox, as well as his poor performance against Falco. In his own words, Famously, he stated that "The Falco ditto is 60/40." Which has now grown to become a standard mindset in the EWA Melee community.
His greatest strength is also his greatest weakness, stemming from an aggressive playstyle, Impatience is a common problem. This has led to great performances vs. slower characters, namely OHAI's Donkey Kong, but poor performances vs Scarecrow's Peach.
Commitment
Above all else, Astero is known for his unbridled commitment to the game, which shows in his 18 straight tournament appearances during the fall 2021 ranking season. And is still active after 2 years of play.
