Antonov is a heavy-hitting Close-Range Fighter. What he lacks in range, he makes up for in destructive capability. His Whale Stream can keep opponents away while you devise a strategy against them; namely, his anti-air game - both the Vertical Macho and Kamchatka Collapse can take jump-happy players out of the sky, and the Bering Wave can slap them out if Antonov is in the air as well. Gigantic Press & Gigantic Back Press is a great tool for making opponents guess what you're going to do next, as the latter is a Command Grab variant of the former.
