Asuka's core gameplan is controlling space before committing. Anchor neutral around Inner Strength, 2,1, b+4, Demon Slayer Vigil, then choose when to take space or start offense.
Asuka's defensive layer should include Sashiro, Inner Strength, Dragon Wheel Kick, b+4. Know when these options check pressure, escape a situation, or force the opponent to slow down.
Asuka's key tools include df+1, Falling Tower, Jab Uppercut, Kyara Boku. Use them as the first layer for neutral, confirms, and pressure before adding riskier options.
Keep b+4, Dragon Wheel Kick ready for punish situations. Start with stable guaranteed damage, then optimize harder routes after the basic punish is consistent.
