Argentina

Argentina (Spanish: Argentina) is the 7th character in Head Soccer. He is a moderate character to unlock yet and has a very efficient Power Shot. He is a 3.5 star opponent in Arcade mode. If you have any questions about the character Argentina, please ask them here.

Appearance
Argentina has a red mohawk haircut, a red goatee, red earring and red eyebrow piercing in his dotted eyebrow. Furthermore, he has a small nose, brown skin and has an indifferent facial expression.

Power Shot: Dragon Shot
Argentina's Power Shot is the Dragon Shot. He launches a long, fiery dragon into the opponent's goal, during which the ball cannot be seen easily. This attack is impossible to counter if the player jumps as soon as the power is used, and can only be blocked if the opponent jumps about a second after the phrase "Dragoon Shot" is said, thus making it very useful against CPUs since the opponent always falls for the trick and jumps first. Even if they block it, however, they may get stunned for a longer period than Nigeria's Tornado Shot, giving Argentina a second chance of scoring through a direct dashing shot. In any game mode (with the exception of Multiplayer) the opponent will usually fall for it and jump right when the shot is activated, leaving Argentina an easy goal. The ball is at the dragon's tail, but you can see it more easily if you pause the game when the dragon comes and unpause when it leaves. Warning: it still has a delay.

Costume
Argentina doesn't wear a standard Costume.

Unlock Requirements
In order to unlock Argentina, the player must beat 12 different characters without using a Power Shot in Arcade Mode, or pay 600,000 points to unlock him instantly. It is recommended to use a character with a strong counter attack to unlock him, such as Austria.

Tips and Tricks
As said, Argentina's shot comes with a delay. To block it successfully (the best way to deflect it), you have to come close to Argentina and when he says "Dragoon Shot", wait one second before you jump. Most of the time, the ball will bounce behind Argentina, and with some luck right into his own goal.

Glitch
If you pause the game while Argentina's Dragon is on its way to the opponent's goal, it will just continue, even while the pause screen is shown. If you resume the game, Argentina still has the ball and he will shoot it after a short amount of time, without the dragon. This is cool to watch, but it seems that the power shot is stronger if you don't use this glitch but just let Argentina do his power shot, as your opponent won't get fooled by the delay. This glitch can be compared with the South Africa glitch and the damaged Cyborg glitch, but the Argentina glitch seems to be the least effective of the three.
