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. Iā€™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 donā€™t think itā€™s safe. Not sure if this was posted anywhere else but I hope this helps.

Asukaā€™s normal AAs are pretty effective vs Giefā€™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, Iā€™m learning anti stuff vs these two characters because thereā€™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, havenā€™t touched the game since the 3rd week it came out. But after seeing theyā€™re do a patch I figured I would start playing again since I donā€™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 Juilaā€™s health and back walk but her having a wall bounce might be good if Asuka gets the right buffs. Hopefully theyā€™ll give Asuka as many buffs they did King.

Iā€™m liking the changes thus far for all characters. Itā€™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 Iā€™m sure sheā€™s going to finally get the love she deserves.

Sakura isnā€™t going to be better in 2013 to me, I feel sheā€™s going to be weaker.

But hopefully Asuka gets the tools she needs, Iā€™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 havenā€™t played in awhile to confirm anything else.

Unless she got these changes before this patch, these arenā€™t the full patch notes. If she did, well, carry on. And if Iā€™m completely wrong and Asuka feels/is the same, then Iā€™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:
Canā€™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 Iā€™ll give you a free pass this time. Just donā€™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 Darkphyreā€™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 sheā€™s more terrifying up close and has a better AAā€¦ 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 sheā€™ll be my anchor if Paulā€™s changes do not work out.

Also sheā€™s prettier than Paul.
