I hope you guys enjoy this goofy ass fight. Asch is extremely awkward to deal with as Tear, which can lead to a pretty strange fight. This one went fairly smooth, until he decided to completely troll me at the end. I hope other people find the ending as comical as I do though.
Asch has the speed of a player, with some of the bonuses that bosses get like Iron Stance. Making him a pretty tough fight no matter the character, but Tear has an especially annoying time dealing with him. The only way that I found that's perfectly consistent to open him is by landing a Banishing Sorrow in a specific time as he's running into range. Other times, attacking him feels very finicky between whether he'll guard before you open a combo or not. I've even seen him cancel his normal attack animation directly into a guard, and then attack me before I can even spell cancel out.

Great work Fury!
You made Tear melee look super easy LOL
I loved the two missed pow hammers into one finally landing too.
Also the HP check to make sure the extension of the MA wouldnt kill was great, good job calculating that :D
