Heck learn how each move works then do what it said here set your card deck if you wanna be a neutral demon or pick the deck so you are can be a offensive player. the only one you can have free reign is the Super where you can pick they type of card you want.

You can use your resources to lockdown enemy in the corner, but every tiesday of every second month of each season you jave to get additional chrges to activate "Destiny shift" that will decide the outcome of the match automatically with 50% of activating "Full Throttle", that gives you a buff if you didn't forget to pray to lord before bed.

    This is what I wanted when I heard "That Man" was coming to Strive, an almost mythological character that works outside of the rules any of us even know. The mechanics behind this character puts Zato to shame. Bedman literally trembles in fear when reading the moveset alone, and there's an entire spell sheet too.
    To me, Asuka R# mains are literally gonna be the rulers of the Strive player base. Witnessing anyone that can make this character work by using strategy within a game in an entire other game will be a truly humbling experience. It's like realizing your character is nothing but a wet pool noodle, and you're fighting a character God himself has sponsored.

    I don't have a degree in alchemy or magical science, that's not something I should apologize for when I try this character. This is by far one of the if not the longest guides to a character this channel has ever produced. Kind of fitting for a character that is subsequently responsible for the state of the Guilty Gear world and its tragedies.

    WOW, best character so far from GGS for sure. Eager to play. And the craziest and most complex character I've ever seen in a fighting game.

    The narrator's delivery on this guide is so wooden, you could drive it through a vampire's heart to kill them.

    I kinda prefer Nine as a wizard character. (I'm not saying I want her added) Most of her spells felt unique instead of just being... geometric shapes like his. You also didn't deal with rng for her spells, instead basic moves have different types so it feels like you are casting a spell by combining them. Granted Asuka's got her beat in that he can store 4 pages compared to Nine's 2 spells. Though I admit I am interested in seeing him at a competitive level, but I might get sick seeing of the cubes.

    Asuka is literally just a card game in a fighting game.

    What the devs expects the player to do: Play methodically and strategize on how to approach each given situation.
    What the player ACTUALLY does: RANDOM BULLS**T GOOOOOO!!!
