The Asuka Kazama Thread

Just saying, I think you guys should check out my interview with Fergus. I think you all will enjoy it. :slight_smile:

After trying the meaty overhead crossover. I’ve found that you can also do a forward dash into cancan for another crossover. You can Also do a walk forward into f.HK but the timing feels really weird and I don’t think it’s safe. Not sure if this was posted anywhere else but I hope this helps.

Asuka’s normal AAs are pretty effective vs Gief’s j.mk and splash. , if you do f+lk (1 hit) near the corner, you can do cr.mp xx oni > cr.mp xx oni > cr.hk

You can also do the likes of st.hk/cr.mp cadc > cr.mp xx oni > cr.hk or st.mk xx falling rain > cr.hk.

And vs Ryu, cr.mk is GDLK vs his j.hk for tripguarding, I’m learning anti stuff vs these two characters because there’s a Ryu/Gief I really need to beat >_>

Omg life in the forum!

I totally forgot to post in this forum >_>, I guess we can start discussing stuff or something.

Am I the only one using Julia/Asuka?

Nope, I use that team too :smiley:

I just started playing again, haven’t touched the game since the 3rd week it came out. But after seeing they’re do a patch I figured I would start playing again since I don’t hate the game I just dislike certain aspects of it. I think that team works pretty well together for the most part. It sucks they hit Juila’s health and back walk but her having a wall bounce might be good if Asuka gets the right buffs. Hopefully they’ll give Asuka as many buffs they did King.

I’m liking the changes thus far for all characters. It’s almost like they were reading my posts when they came up with the proposed changes. Cutting out all the ā€œcheapā€ abused tactics in this game will make this a much more honest fighter. Sakura will be much more viable along with Asuka because I’m sure she’s going to finally get the love she deserves.

Sakura isn’t going to be better in 2013 to me, I feel she’s going to be weaker.

But hopefully Asuka gets the tools she needs, I’ll still play her regardless of what happens.

I decided to mess around in SFxT after not playing since EVO, and I honestly feel like Asuka got some changes in this Patch 1.07.

Her cr.LK, cr.MP, and f+LK seem noticeably faster. Even the start-up on st.HK seems faster. There might be more changes, but I haven’t played in awhile to confirm anything else.

Unless she got these changes before this patch, these aren’t the full patch notes. If she did, well, carry on. And if I’m completely wrong and Asuka feels/is the same, then I’m going crazy and you guys can lol at my post.

So Asuka is the best character ever, yes?

Obviously god-tier in terms of ability and general awesomeness.

She is. :rock:
Can’t wait for v.2013.

Lili is better than her! I KNOW Lili is better than her. WHY ARE YOU IN MY HEAD? STAY AWAY!

Lili = frilly, twirling pompous airhead.
Asuka= badass that rides bicycles off skyscrapers because she can.

Case closed.

Since this is the ASUKA thread I’ll give you a free pass this time. Just don’t let it happen again please. :smiley:

Frilly, twirling pompous airhead!

So how did Asuka come off in the 2013 patch? I am really excited after seeing what they did with the likes of King, Paul, and Bob, so I am hoping someone like Asuka was treated similarly. Thing is, I do not know enough about her gameplay to learn this from the changes. Outside of a cancelable Heron Dance, all I see are frame, damage, and invin buffs. I like when they change things besides numbers, but having already played Darkphyre’s Asuka I can imagine that all these various buffs are going to end up doing a whole lot for her.

I did see her Jab is invincible against air attacks now, so now the King of Fighters player in me really likes this.

Essentially she’s more terrifying up close and has a better AA… but still has issues getting in. >.>

Ok, so make her go second and beat the ever loving crap out of people even more than before? I like that relative braindeadness of gameplay, maybe she’ll be my anchor if Paul’s changes do not work out.

Also she’s prettier than Paul.
