    Awesome guide! I haven’t even went in to training mode with her yet because I didn’t want to get mad since I already know how many tools she lost. Your positive tone walking through all of her new options really changed my outlook. Can’t wait to get her in the lab now

    Asuka now also has a low sabaki (db 1+2)
    just a note to add for beginners regarding reversals and sabakis: Asuka can only do them against normal jabs and kicks, so it will lose to elbows, knees, headbutts, etc., and it also loses to jumping attacks

    Dude i just want to say i’ve been watching you since the beta since this was going to be my first official tekken game. I remember playing her in 5 casually with friends. Thanks to your videos i’m almost in red ranks which i’m very proud of considering i had no prior fighting game knowledge about frames etc my journey started with sf6. Thank you!

  • @kebarrera31

    Really appreciate this 👍
    I mained Julia since Tekken 3 but never truly connected with her again gameplay wise since she got wrecked in T4. She'd become really strong again but the threat of her kinda busted magic 4 and 1,2,1 forced people to respect her at all times which helped me a ton (Read bad reactions and crap defence) and she couldn't play the same.
    Asuka has a more broad toolkit of options that force respect and that's what I really need. Not to mention Julia seemingly aged 10 years between T3 and T4, Asuka personality fits my character style way more I didn't realise it until I played her in the closed beta but it felt right very quickly.
    I'll keep coming back to this trying to absorb info, Her poking and spacing traps are something I've not got in my head yet and working out the range of her moves.

  • @PurpleTurtle-t4q
    @PurpleTurtle-t4q 11 місяців тому +1

    @danistar34 11 місяців тому

    Great guide! Switched to Asuka in T8 and I'm a hardstuck garyu/shinryu. This guide showed me that I'm not definitely not using her full potential. I still think that she is a little on the weaker side, especially on stages with far away walls when you don't have perfect matchup knowledge, but not as weak as I thought.

  • @walmyrcarvalhoo

    Thank you so much for this video, I've learned so much! Would it be possible to have the command history enabled for the combos video? It's OK if it's not possible, though, it's just that I'm still learning the command's terminology and some visual cues would help a lot!

    I haven't really played tekken too much since tag 2, especially Asuka, but my first experience in ranked was somewhat frustrating. Barely 60% WR and I was struggling really hard against some characters that have insane tools out of neutral. I wasn't really understanding what I was supposed to be doing, but this is really helping. My offensive pressure was mostly fake, and I knew that, but I haven't hit the lab yet. Also my defense needs a lot of work.
    Thank you for this guide, you're the Asuka goat. 🙏

  • @splork8016
    @splork8016 10 місяців тому

    I feel like Asuka is the kind if character that really makes you get good. Focus in reading enemy patterns to use your counters is the kind of knowledge that will take you far in fighting games. So satisfying to see enemies willfully skipping their turns because they are afraid of the counters :)

      @Joetime90 11 місяців тому +2

      She's a really good beginner character imo, but she's limited in what she can do. But that's not a bad thing, she forces you to learn the basics. Her combos and strings are easy to memorize and feel natural.

    Thanks for this video. I'm relatively new to Tekken, mostly played it casually from 1-3 and some 6 and 7. Asuka is one of the few I got a feel for, but I've been losing more matches than I like. With all the talk of her being lower tier and nerfed in 8, I wasn't sure if I should try to focus on another main. This video helps open up some ideas for me to try, thanks!

    Does asuka have okizemi mindgames in t8? In t7 you could 1,2,3 to catch side roll or 1,2,3 B df3 for grounded.
    I notice i use df3 on opppnent grounded too much and then it whiffs for opponent sideroll. Im guessing i should do db1,2 instead or respect their wake-up.

      @@Pikachu-qr4ybcompared to T7 she got nerfed quite a bit. She lost a lot of her good tools from T7. They either a lot more unsafe or outright removed. But I think they just design her in a way to force you to use her heat stuff and get her install buff. She’s still good but just a lot more basic now.

    Great breakdown and you avoided any doomer talk too...!
    Honestly I she hasn't changed a huge deal in T8 compared to some of the other characters I play but I don't mind that, it's helped me play 8 without having to focus too much on relearning muscle memory.
    I definitely underestimated or was a little harsh on her install, especially as a wall option... but mainly because I still feel like between with all her old tools she can feel like she is already overkill at the wall and it was never a weak area for her anyway. I'll incorporate what you've advised.
    I still have a soft spot for her. The more I play of Jun the more I come to appreciate the simple charm of Asuka.

    Asuka needs a serious buff, I mean, when was the last time an Asuka won a major tournament? I honestly can't ever recall it happening in 20 years.

    Why is forward 2 her most valuable punisher, over down-forward 2?
