Buff Asuka, I fully believe she is contender for the one of the worst characters in this game

HARADA PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Badman*Kazuya]

No kill her off she sucks.

[Tobbe]

i think they just need to make her faster.

[Arestris]

Dunno, in the lower levels, where I am, she really isn't this weak and she's imho fun to play.

[KenzBuilds]

[Iridius]

Asuka is incredibly oppressive at low levels but falls off quickly at higher levels

The same could be said for pretty much every character...

Yeah, no. The difference is that Asuka might genuinely have the easiest execution of any character in the series. I say this as someone who has mained Asuka since Tag 2 (I've now dropped her for Reina and Jun).

Asuka basically doesn't have to work for her damage at all. She can bypass knowledge checks through her evasive panic moves. She has a reversal to get rid of pressure from jabbing. Asuka is not a character that makes you learn the game until a far higher rank where the gimmicks no longer work.

Noctis was even easier than asuka.

Asuka works in low level because people press too much and she pretty much destroys mashers.
Someone running into every b3 or getting caught by every single cancans says alot more about her opponent than about asuka as a character.
This hasn't changed in this game as her panic moves are still there and still good.
But against good opponents in this game, she's incredibly ♥♥♥♥.
And with Jun being a top tier rn, why bother? I dumped asuka completely even tho I can easily climb to hight ranks with her still.
Not interested in wasting my time on a crappy character anymore.

Pretty much every Asuka I come across just mashes nonstop. They have no idea how to employ her better defensive tools or cancels. People rightfully hate playing against Asuka because most of her players really are braindead button mashing apes. That's why people don't like playing against her.
But yeah I agree with you. My first main was Jun in tekken 2 and I preferred her in tag 2. Now that she is back there is not much reason to play Asuka anymore.

I don't think Asuka needs a buff... If they buff her the most I want them to buff is her Heat smash since now its practically useless...rather I want them to nerf the other obvious OP one instead I feel...

it's not obvious

[Cooper 🇵🇷]

the point is asuka being trash is for all the asuka mains to start playing jun

I agree Asuka needs to be buffed up, someone said a lot of her attacks were nerfed to hell in Tekken 8 vs 7
