Asuka's core gameplan is getting close, keeping turns, and forcing defensive mistakes. Anchor neutral around Spinning Heel Drop, Demon Slayer, Mizu Basho, 2,1, 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.
