Asuka tutorial-Theory
Doctor’s max rank of Asuka in TEKKEN7
-18 dan(Savior)
Character aspects(min:1, max:5)
Intercept attack: 4
Offensiveness:3
Whiff Punish:5
Panic Moves:5
Block Punishment:3
Attack Strings:3
Intercept attack: 4
Dragon Wheel kick(b+3)
is very good for Interceptor.
Asuka get back a little,
which makes them hard
to get good Whiff Punish.
And Iwato(u/f+3) is also good.
Can go combo when CH,
and it is also hard to
get Whiff Punish,
because it is very quick.
I use Right Upper Cut(d/f+2)
sometimes.
Offensiveness:3
Not so bad, not so good.
Sacred Blade(3~4) is a
combo launcher.
But it has risk,
for sometimes it’s seeable.
Sashiro(d+1+2) is useful
only when you face the wall.
It is unseeable.
I use it only facing the wall.
Asuka is good at mid attacks.
Inner Strength(1+2) doesn’t
have Block Punish,
and it is a combo launcher
for normal hit.
And Burning Lantern(f,f+1)
is Flame Advantage on Block.
Whiff Punish:5
Demon Slayer(f+2)
is a perfect move
for Whiff Punishment.
Easy command,
mid attack, range is good.
Whenever you see
the enemy’s Whiff,
don’t miss them.
I will talk about it
more down below.
Panic Moves:5
Asuka has many good ones.
-Dragon Wheel kick(b+3)
-Mist Palm Thurst(During SS+2)
-Double Lift Kicks(d+3+4)
-Parry(b+1+3/b+2+4)
And also CH moves are good.
-Iwato(u/f+3)
-High kick(4)
-Faling Tower(d/f+1,2)
-Heart Stopper(b+4)
So, whenever you
want to change the flow,
do Panic moves.
And whenever you
see them coming or moving,
you do CH moves.
Block Punishment:3
Not good, not bad.
I would say that,
Mizu Basho(2,3)
has long reach
and useful for some
Block Punishment.
Attack Strings:3
Whiplash Combo(1 or f+1)
could be useful.
But not so useful.
Asuka is a character
who waits for their
Panic moves or Whiff attack.
And whenever they come,
you can do your Panic moves.
Tactics
1.Demon Slayer anytime
As written above,
Demon Slayer is
very useful for Whiff Punish.
Whenever they miss something,
you need to get good damage
with Demon Slayer.
Since it’s command is easy,
you can just wait for
Whiff Punish.
Whiff Punish for their Interceptors.
It is a good idea to
make yourself coming
to the enemy.
It can be done
even during Side Walk.
It is also useful to
know that when you
match with Asuka,
they are waiting
for your miss shot.
Be careful.
2.Interceptor
Asuka has very good Interceptors.
If you do these moves,
at the moment they get closer,
they feel hard to
get closer to you.
And these moves
have no Block Punishment.
So you can do Panic moves
when they Block them.
3.Best move for Delay Strike
Personally thinking,
Inner Strength(1+2)
is the best move
for Delay Strike.
Combo launcher when NH
Mid attack
No Block Punishment
See above. They will move or
crouch, when there is a strange moment.
Conclusions
For using Asuka,
you don’t need to
remember so many things.
It is a good idea
to use Asuka as sub.
Why don’t you start Asuka?
