Yo Salami. Your videos are a blast as always! Thank you for your hard work! Would like to see some Kazuya overview as well. Or can you link decent sources on to how to think as Kazuya? Again huge thanks!
This channel inspired me to try playing Tekken one year ago and I'm so glad that I did. Thanks to these helpful videos many of my friends have also started playing. I want to thank whole TBS crew! Keep up this excellent work!!
2 minutes in and I already learned new combo alternatives that seem better when you start closer to the wall. I tend to not play a very defensive Asuka but it is nice to learn more about her crushing moves. The d/b+3 nerf hurts more than f/f+3 losing the ability to avoid highs in my opinion, but she is still my favorite character to play
I was in the army in rec center playing with her I think it was tekken 5 I accidentally pulled an insane combo and won in a major upset. I just acted like "yeah, fuck around and find out." I got out of there to avoid any potential embarrassment.
Man, I adore the editing style of these videos. Very concise, focused, and easy to digest with visual cues to compliment the commentary. I’d love to see a video detailing the thought process that goes with making these, please keep up the good work!
Looking at Asuka and Marduk make think of the conversation you guys were havng about the shared tools in Tekken during the podcast. It's like after Tekken 4 onwards they started experimenting with the formula a lot. Like Asuka not having a 1 jab but having a lot of above average defensive tools, and Marduk having a special tackle. In T7 I think Noctis and Gigas are pretty bold attempts at re approaching character design as well. Like Noctis not having generic "get off me" tools, but has strong keep out.
Hey man, i started tekken like 3 days ago and was having trouble against my asuka friend. This video and the many others on the channel been helping me out tons to try to figure out other characters if not to try out countering them. Thanks for this, man!
Bruh when my friends ask me how to play Tekken, I just say Blasted Salami. Your vids are just so good when it comes to analyzing characters. Hope your passion for making these vids. Continue till more seasons to come
Only started playing Tekken last year and I get a substantial amount of Tekken knowledge on this channel. Always so succinct yet extensive when it needs to be. This one sheds some light as to why I had such a hard time against Asuka players in the early going. Much thanks for your efforts sir, you're a credit to the Tekken FGC in my book. 👍
I am blown away yet again with the sheer quality of your production. I do hope your career flourishes and we'll be graced with Tekken 7 season 4/ Tekken 8/Guilty Gear Strive/KOF 2020 Breakdowns.
Honestly, sline is potentially the best asuka player in the world; the only real contender for that title is Dimeback since not many people play asuka. Wish that they could attend tournaments.
@@FartingSpider12 sLine and Dimeback played each other recently for like an hour and a half. sLine won out 21 - 14 ruclips.net/video/NkeMiTEKAms/видео.html
Since I've been playing Tekken more consistently as of this year via A.King late S2 and now Geese via S3, it's always nice to see a new TBS overview release for general Tekken knowledge to add on for the entire community. Kudos, team.
You are amazing man! I know this is just random happenstance, but your King breakdown really helped my gameplay and just last week I was looking for an Asuka breakdown to help my girlfriend since Asuka is her main. Low and behold, the god of professional quality Tekken content has heard my plea and now my girl is in practice mode training to kick my ass. Good stuff man, I really appreciate all the hard work you and your staff put into these videos, it definitely shows
Definitely will Patron if you do this early in on tekken 8, even if the info is only reflective of the knowledge at the time. This is so useful for learning about characters I don’t have time to play
She is a highly evasive character with great mids, most of which are safe. I don't use her as much as I did in T5, but she is still fun to use. Tip: When fighting her, if the player likes spamming her reversal (hold version), delayed hop kick her face! In my opinion, Josie is her counter pick. And I main Josie!!!
Recently took Asuka from sub to main, and all this stuff is really helpful! Her d/b+3 poke worked pretty good for me but I'm trying to look into new ways to play her. Thanks!
Another thing i would have mentioned in her strenghts are her homing moves, which are probably some of the best of the game, one being plus on block (but high) and the latter being a safe CH launcher mid. Other than that, excellent video!
So how do I leave a second like to this video? Quality here is over 9000 for sure. btw Tekken7 is my first Tekken game and I really enjoy it. I started it with Asuka (now switched to Lei though, due to some mysterious reasons)
This video is extremely helpful! I was allwya wondering why is it that she's so low in tier-list despite her strong tools. Now I know she lacks the most important fundamental tool that sets up any pressure. 1 jab. Knowing that Oscar player will most likely go for jab strings instead of neutral jab is hella helpful.
Didn’t even watch the video yet but at this point I know I’m getting SSS ranking quality in these videos keep up the great work guys love the content👍🏾
My main in Tekken 5, once you've figured out how to counter everything she's honestly pretty OP. If you can get Tekken Lord with everyone you learn their strengths and weaknesses but I haven't found her weakness yet, I'm sure that might have changed in later games but I haven't played them yet
Been waiting for this video for a while haha. Something people tend to forget about Thanks to the ballerina spin it is impossible to step or interrupt ws1+2 after ff3 on hit (will trade with jabs) and I would honestly take a potential 90+ damage ch launcher over a knockdown anytime. especially in clutch moments Its also worth noting that 21d1+2 is a new higher damage ender after a ground hit rage drive Keep it up with the good videos!
Asuka is like my main for like 4 years for the time I actually tried to take Tekken seriously when T5 came out. Aside from Leo, I am glad Asuka is also well loved and you made your guide for her season 3 changes also really good. Though, when Season 4 drops, could you try making a Leo guide or overview?
You should make all dlc characters overview like you did 2 years ago because that was one of the best videos you made and it would be helpful with dlc characters
Isn't 2,1,d1+2 a decent wall ender? Some used ff1 before to get a 50/50 afterwards in df3 / d1+2 as opponent goes into FDFA, now 2,1,1+2 does the same with more damage and an option to even go FC, giving access to fc df2. What I think is worth noting are her whiff recoveries on certain moves, especially ss4 and uf3. UF3 recovers insanely fast and is only slightly minus on block allowing for movement afterwards. Its recovery on whiff is less that of an electric wind god fist by a few frames(20 vs 23 iirc).
No, thank you for puting her weaknesses on display. I have been struggling with her playing style since the tekken 2 came out of my old skating ring. Yeah, I Know, its a very long time. Hope to see more of these. These are great. 👍
she has a bunch of safe moves. There are several ways to play oscar depending on the character. She actually has a vortex. 1+2 is a fast low that leads to her strings and you can spam and just jab string to keep them guessing. once they start ducking and pressing its easy. if they block you have short range 5050 and a guard break and throws
You missed out a fact regarding how bad Asuka's jab is. Her jab is the only one(unless you include Jack f+2) with almost 30 frames of recovery. you can sidestep her jab and do a 20 frame launcher, this is not possible with most jabs. As for weaknesses, her entire moveset can be sidewalked to the right.
just got to yellow ranks with Asuka after a month of trying. I only ran into 2 other Asuka's and they were just dan ranks trying her out with complete beginner play. people hate her for her counter game but there aren't many Asuka players out there either.
I remember Fergus saying Asuka has some of the strongest wall game in Tekken, due to large variety of lows, high damage, 50/50's on oki, 50/50 at the wall in general( SS2 / FF3 are good wallsplat mids, especially considering how evasive SS2 is; d1+2 giving a free followup for big damage and resetting the situation), good counterhits, df1,4 beats mashing and wallsplats after an opponent gets hit by a DB3. Must be forgetting something, but Asuka's pretty strong at the wall!
Dude, videos like that make me want to main everyone on the roster, lmao.
Same 🤣
Sometimes I don't want to watch these videos because of that very reason.
Same. Especially when he lists all the pluses of the characters.

Why did your salami go green? You a zombie now? Also, love your content, as always
Damn 4k video took me by surprise!

4:15 fun fact, Asuka's uf3 is the fastest whiffing mid in the game, its whiff recovery is only 20f which is even faster than EWGF (23f)
Doesn't that go to lee now b4
Where did u get the info on whiff recovery frames?
Honestly all I can hear is that guy shouting 'OSCAR OSCAR' now.
U re using subtitle lols
same
One of my favorite characters and my friends’ main character 🤣 She’s really good this time around.
"Dream Chest" - I see what you did there :-)

06:16 "interplanetary spark" from yakuza 0 is one of my favorite OST's,and I've been waiting for this vid for a while,double nicu!
just goes to show how well yakuza and tekken mesh together :')
With Asuka i've made so many comebacks from deficits than I can remember. If you stay calm and play well she's a monster.
That's every character right xd

Sline deserves a mention. Best asuka when it comes to ki charge/ creative oki setups. Streams on twitch
Honestly, sline is potentially the best asuka player in the world; the only real contender for that title is Dimeback since not many people play asuka. Wish that they could attend tournaments.
FartingSpider12 Same. Its mainly fergus and dimeback that travels. Hope we see OKAY return someday. He was traveling a lot in season 1
