Hey guys, I don't really play Tager, and this might have been posted already, but I have found ways for you to easily combo into his astral. If you have a few character lengths between you and your opponent you can hold back and A+B+C to sort of sneaky barrier prep, then spark bolt while still holding the three other buttons. After it launches, spam tap the d button until activation. If they are hit, then stop hitting it and it will combo into the astral. If not, hold it to magnetize then towards you and try your best to time the grab. If they are too close, wait for the D spam until they cross you up or dont go for the astral. Also, if your opponent has around 5.5k(carl) or 6k(nu-13) hp remaining, only two I have tested this on, and you have 80 meter, if you land a grab, proceed with the magnetic air grab cancel, but right as you grab them, hold A+B+C, it won't RC yet, then spark bolt and spam D as usual with the immediae release upon activation. Always grab towards the closest corner so the air grab will point them back into open space, gives enough activation time for your astral off the wall bounce. I will see if I can find any more extended combos for use at higher opponent life or less meter. Pretty much anything off a spark bolt seems to work. Thanks.
