I'm stuck at Kishin Raijin. Need help

[MxWu1337-bilibili]

As an asuka player
All my attacks are being stopped and all I hit are the occasional db3. Which leads to ...NOTHING.

D1+2 gets backdashed (that's how everyone plays against Asuka)
All my throws are being broken (except the useless destabilizer)
And anything else can be standing blocked and reacted to

Reversals are high risk 25dmg reward
And just like sabakis they don't work on *inhaling deeply* knees, shoulder, elbow, head, sword, dagger, karambit, katana, gun, walking cane, dog, nun chucks, jumping attacks, running attacks, charging attacks, unblockable attacks, heat enganger, heat smash, rage art, salmons and bad breath...

All my wins are from baited CH and occasional whiffs (pretty rare to be honest)
So I'm stuck at Lower Kishin, higher Raijin...

I need tips on how to evolve my game.

I'd have to see some of your matches. I'm a long time asuka player I'm sure I can point some things out.

Putting it on words is coolio but can we see the matches your struggling against via youtube please?

[MxWu1337-bilibili]

- to mainly develop ur neutral, go to youtube, type "asuka tekken 8 replays". filters: last week. watch and analyze them. much better if u can find players that have defensive and offensive gameplays (variety). compile them in a playlist if needed
- if u dont wanna play other chars and/or watching replays (it hurts to rewatch ur bad sets ik) to gain knowledge, watch their movelists and anti chars guides. lab and check their frames if needed

Go on Twitch and watch Fergus's vods.

Thanks... I have always avoided my own replays since I cringe at every bad decision. But I feel at this point there's no get-around T_T
