- 0
Use f+4 Right Hook Kick to enter RFS with a +7 to +13 block advantage, making it difficult for Asuka to use her i10 jab to interrupt.
- 0
If Asuka uses her b+1+3 reversal frequently, use your CD.3 Phalanx or CD.4 Sky Rocket, as these are harder to time and CD.4 is a launcher.

Punish Asuka's f+2 Demon Slayer on block; it is -18, allowing for a guaranteed b+3 or Sky Rocket launch.
- 0
Use RFF 3~4 Backlash to trade or beat Asuka's slower pokes, as it has power crush properties from frame 8 to 26.
- 0
Check Asuka's db+4,4,4 Leg Cutter strings with low parries or i12 punishers, as the subsequent hits are -7 on block and can be interrupted.
- 0
Maintain pressure with f,f,F+3 Flying Nerichagi, which is +6 on block and forces Asuka to respect your follow-up Flamingo mixups.
