this. i was maining asuka for the first 3 days of sf x tk until a fought a very solid akuma player. after seeing him hand my asuka ass whooping after ass whooping, i had to let her go. she’s just so damn flawed which is a shame because she is sexy as hell lol.
I hate the online for this game it is ass.
Still enjoy asuka though
I can’t seem to find a good anti air that works all the time
for rainbox you need meters en f lk isnt always working
grrr getting jumped alot
she ha s a lot of situational AA’s just got to find them and know the range. This is a character that definitely takes some time to get above average with.
Asuka is going to drive me to insanity :nunchuck:
Ive but so much hours into asuka right now x_x, But ive noticed she has a great amount of trouble with Gief, but hugo shes pretty good as one mess up from him you can blow him up.
But again with asuka anyone with fireballs is a lot of trouble even with the move that dodges fireballs
Asuka is better in Hugo’s face than he is in hers, makes the matchup nice.
But then again, hugo isn’t very good, so that’s not saying much.
It’s kind of funny how being -1 in his face is a frame trap against him. A frame trap that leads to being -1 in his face again.
That and he has no capacity to AA anyone who’s up close to him. Asuka’s hyper deep jHP crossup actually gives alot of characters trouble.
It’s okay against Gief too, as he his jab will trade with yours, but you can do conditioning tricks with Oni to screw with that.
I learned recently that Gief’s lariats are different than SF4.
KKK is only immune to low
PPP is immune to Air, but doesn’t go immune to mid till frame 7. This means that his only anti-pressure tool is EX piledriver, so you can run him down better than I originally thought you could.
However, he is one of the characters that does not give a crap about Asuka’s super deep jHP crossup.
Yeah. The changes to his lariat made playing him pretty weird when I was playing with him for a while a couple of days ago. I was actually getting beat down hard by my friend’s Kazuya until I went into training mode and tried to figure out was up.
I play vs a Gief regularly and it seems that Gief’s st.mp just outright beats any normal she can do (Not suprising :p)
I feel Gief can mixup Asuka better than she can to him and Asuka can’t jump at all vs him and it’s very hard to approach a good Gief
This is definitely one of her worst matchups
Its awesome that you’re using Asuka FlyingVe, but honestly do you think she’ll last? I love using her and she’s so awesome, but like, she seems so bad in this game. I don’t know if I really want to dedicate a ton of time into her just to get destroyed by Ryus and Kens.
Do you think she’s got a lot of stuff that hasn’t been figured out yet that’ll at least put her at mid tier?
Getting bodied by Bus Orez and his godlike Chun-Li spacing. Asuka, can’t you have just a little more reach? Please? 
You should use them as a team they’re perfect. Venting though, I hate shotos and guile vs asuka, they keep her out so easily, it’s annoying, and with juri as my frontline character they both dont have much against fireball spam from a certain range.
Tried out other characters and I tried Ryu/Poison and I did so much better than I did with Asuka.
I might drop her for competitive reasons, I just don’t think she has what it takes. But I can’t drop her due to character loyalty and that I really really like her character :xeye:
Yeah, that’s the very conflict I’m faced with, it seems.
To be totally honest I think she’s mid tier, maybe upper mid tier, but I doubt it.
She got some of the best Oki in the game and a solid up close game. Her weakness of course is that she has no mid or long range game whatsoever. So I say she’s a support character, she’s there to make your team better more than the other way around, kinda like the Dr. Doom of this game.
So yes, I think she’s plenty competitively viable, but she’s far from the most powerful character on the roster. Depending on how the other characters evolve she might move up from mid-tier. Personally, I think her Oki game makes her very good for a team, she basically gives every character a very scary wakeup game that threatens to end the match after the first knockdown, however, in the current state of the game, footsies are king, and Asuka doesn’t really have any.
I’ve tried. I’ve got a lot of work to do before I have the execution for her.
sorry to ask but what is “Oki Game”?? im new to these terms and stuff LOL
It’s short for Okizeme, it basically means the situation where your opponent is knocked down and you have the option of setting up a mixup as he gets up.
Asuka is very good at this.
