Tips

  • 0

    Asuka's f+2 Demon Slayer is -18 on block; punish her heavily with f,F+2 or a quick i15 launcher like df+2.

  • 0

    Your f+3+4 Shape-Up Kick is a low that is noted as unparryable, making it a great tool against Asuka's db+1+2 low parry sabaki.

  • 0

    Be careful with your 1,1,1 string; if Asuka blocks it, she can punish the -16 recovery with her f+2 launcher.

  • 0

    Asuka's d+3+4 Double Lift Kicks is -8 on block normally, but if you block only the first hit, it is -25, allowing for a huge punish.

  • 0

    Use HBS.3+4 Bear Tackle as a Heat Engager; it has power crush properties from frames 7-19 to blast through Asuka's poke pressure.

  • 0

    Asuka's uf+4 Night Sky is -13 on block; punish it with your 1+2 Demon Bear Breath Heat Engager.

  • 0

    If Asuka uses f,F+1 Burning Lantern, she is +5 on block; do not press buttons as she has the advantage in the resulting exchange.
