Tips
- 0
Asuka's f+2 Demon Slayer is a powerful long-range mid, but it is -18 on block, allowing you to punish it heavily with f,F+2 or a launch.
- 0
Be careful with high strings; Asuka's d+3+4 has jump status from frame 5 and will launch you if you are too predictable.
- 0
Use PAB.d+1 or d+1 to chip at Asuka, as these lows can bypass her high/mid punch parries (f+2+3).
- 0
Asuka's db+1,2 is a Heat Engager that is -9 on block, making it safe, but the db+1,4 extension is -15 and can be launched.
- 0
If Asuka uses her b+1+3 reversal frequently, use knees like b+4 or elbows like PAB.df+2 which cannot be reversed.
- 0
Asuka's f,f,F+3 is +3 to +7 on block; do not try to interrupt her follow-up unless you use a high-crushing move.
- 0
Punish Asuka's d+1+2 Sashiro (-18 on block) with a launcher to discourage her from using it to high-crush your jabs.
