So how are we all getting on with Asuka?
I still get blown up by rushers a lot. I’m relying too much on her counter…smh
I just got blown to bits last night playing as Asuka/Chun Li. I’m starting to feel like I’m terrible with her and should giver her up and learn another character instead lol. I simply couldn’t find a way to get in on my opponents with her, thus eating lots of air to air and stuff.
I would put Chun Li on point over Asuka, Chun is far better on point and gives plenty of tag opportunities for Asuka, j.mk is a really good A2A
Yeah that’s what I’m doing, but as soon as I get Asuka in it’s really hard to do anything against a good opponent, then I start playing defensively.
Yeah, i’m a beast with Asuka against D+ and C ranked players…lol
I’ve decided from now on my main team is going to be Hwoarang & Asuka, started playing couple games and got completely destroyed, haven’t played online much so that’s probably why…slowly but surely I will get better lool
There’s something about Asuka that I just find so fun. I’ve never been so dedicated to a character. I’m really trying my best to make Lars work with her, but I still have to get used to him since I haven’t played him much.
Ok what is it with Hugo and his not getting hit by the second hit of Asuka’s f.LK - f.LP when I tag in with her? Is this a glitch or workng as intended?
hugo so big he gets hit twice by the f.lk causing the f.lp to miss.
use cr.MP xx oni, cr.MP xx oni, cr.hk instead.
If you do it really really early, you can get 1 hit.
Meh I’d rather go for sure hits. It’s just not worth the risk in laggy matches imo, but thanks guys.
I just love using Asuka’s counter against Tekken strings. Especially if the opponent doesn’t learn that yes, I can do it consistently. Also, its always fun using the counter after blocking a jump in and then knock the enemy back half the screen.
With the new batch of characters now available. Who do you think goes well with Asuka?
I say Dudley and Lars.
I find Sakura to work pretty well with her, Lars could be good as well, Cody as well and Jack
pretty much anyone who can get in easy on a opponent, if they have a move that you can tag cancel and leave them standing thats a plus. asuka does good dmg for no meter off a launch so anyone with good pokes that lead to launch is good as well.
dudley for sure. would say guy too, his launcher being so low makes her tag in combos wiff sometimes though which can be a pain.
I’ve been running Bryan/Asuka. It’s been doing okay for me, I’ve been winning rounds against A and B players but I cant seem to get it for two out of the three rounds
Just discovered the EX Falling Rain beats out all of Ryu’s ground Tatsumaki
Ex falling rain is such a good move, it gives me a free crossover into meaty f+mp
If you do the jump normal whiff after falling rain into f+mp setup on Kazuya, it whiffs because his wakeup timing is different
BUT
If you use f+hk instead of f+mp, it will get one hit allowing you to get a proper combo.
After her combo into upkicks > j.hk > st.hk xx oni, if you empty jump forward after st.hk xx oni, you can make it so they have to hold opposite direction to roll and it puts you in a perfect position to do empty cr.lk
