The final Guilty Gear Strive character of Season 2, Asuka R. Kreutz, is a very unconventional character. So, I made this video to hopefully help you with building a fundamental base line for playing the character.
0:00 - Intro and disclaimer
1:04 - Numpad Notation, What I'm calling Asuka's moves
2:38 - No Resource Combo Ideas
4:34 - Combo Ability of Core Spells (water, wind, thunder, screamer)

Already done it my lovable legend
Please I'm mad confused how do you get c.s of 2h? I only get far slash, doesn't look like you cancel 2h will card draw. Please help me LordKnight you are my only hope
Dw worked out you have to be moving forward when you start the combo lol
"Asuka does low damage"
*Sees the damage, corner carry, and knockdown*
*Cries in Axl*
I've been playing Asuka these couple of days, losing your manabar feels so punishing, losing most of your options and getting basically instakilled is rough.
Yeah it's rough. Luckily he does have ways around those things, I'm just not good enough at the game lol
Here's a tip for anyone who wants to try a different prespective: go to training and try using only one spell for a combo, i discovered i only need one "Red ball" from mid-screen to wall break, 1 thunder cube 1 wind tricube/1 water cube for wallbreak.... Idk how to apply this in other situations but i guess LK here does an astonishing job helping in other aspects of Asuka
He has been so fun, advice to ppl, I would say don't use him as a zoner, his real charm is his combo potential and pressure with alot of these spells, gives him tons to work with and he's just too slow with bookmarking and recovering mana to be a zoner, use those in-between your combos or blockstrings, or use the spell backwards button cancel to get a spell right back or down cancel to recover a bit, but not for long, hope this helps ppl
Indeed. I'm struggling with him but usually struggle the most when I try to sit at range
He does still have the capability to be a zoner, but he's not as consistent as someone like Zato and you will eventually run out of spells or just luck out on a range spell. The test case in S (the blue one) opens you up to being able to spam spells once you've gotten Mana Regen and Bookmark Reload.
And yeah, he's advanced in the way that he needs inputs at 110% to keep up optimal gameplay. Incredibly fun to play when you get it right.
I use him as a zoner but i understood him realy quick. Once ppl get used to him youll have zoners or rush down players he can totally do both. But id say hes designed to be a zoner as you can cancel spells and book marks into mana recovery its just most arent very good yet.
@maxrusty3596 I definitely get that but overall especially against fast rushdowns he doesent rly work as a zoner due to the slowness of having to recover and manage spells, it also ofc comes down to if you've been given any good spells for it too
@AdamJorgensen yeah it's a great place for him but soon becomes bad once u need to regen everything, ur a sitting duck with little options and ur manas about to run out where ur in MAJOR danger, so try see how it goes following what I've said to an extent
Can’t wait to see Evo matches with this character, I have a feeling those will be so hype!
Oh they shall my boy
only to get steamrolled in pools by people who play sol, ram, giovanna, etc and they only have to use a fraction of the brainpower and situational awareness that is required to play asuka???
hell yeah I'm hype
@xIchipoo I must agree, fast rushdowns with no brains are hard to handle with asuka
never seen me play margaret huh
@LordKnightfgc yeah but ur smart, you'd clap me instantaneously any day of the week in a match
Super happy to see some basic advice with spell-free combos, I really needed this.
Very fun to think about! I wasn't expecting much, but I'm blown away!
I appreciate the practical approach to this video.
The best resourceless bnb I've found is:
c.S > 2HS > c.S > 2HS > 5K Dash Cancel > c.S > 5S > 5HS
I dont know if the post dash cancel portion is optimal, but if you do c.S > 2HS > Spell at the end you can easily extend beyond that.
I've totally stolen this idea but I've been experimenting with a different ender:
cS > 2H > cS > 2H > 5K > dash > cS > 2S > 2H
You can actually get a safejump jS afterwards which is cool. And if you don't safejump you get really good oki.
@@lydianlights god I love you brotha thanks for the tech
i am quite new so it might just be a skill issue but i cant manage to get the cs after the 2hs i always end up with just S any help would be much appreciated :)
@ennersia4295 The spacing is a bit strict, but that's it. It's way more consistent with dash momentum, but for the most part this is a combo to do when you know you're spaced right like off a meaty c.S or just having the intuition for it. If you get a f.S instead of a c.S after the first 2H juggle, you can either go into 5H to end the combo if you have to or use a spell to extend the combo into something like "... > f.S > spell > dash (if you have the time to) > 5K > 6H" for a good hard knockdown.
It's also worth mentioning since I haven't seen anyone mention that the bookmark super passively drains mana while it's active
Wtf
"Mana" meter, not "Meter" meter*
I figured it was just subtracting tiny amounts of mana with each redraw, but you may be correct. Good thing it can end early by pressing Dust!
Love this video this vid has helped me because I thought of recovering meter as a combo intender instead of just another life bar
This blockstring is so cool: cS 2H thunder~test case swap > 2K 2D water~draw > 2K 2D test case 3 spell. Can't wait to bring that out of the lab.
eagerly awaiting more Asuka tech 🙌
I think arcsys was trying to make an xrd character lol. I played sin and dizzy a bit so I really like this type of thing. I get distracted when I'm not 100% focused, so execution heavy characters kinda help me stay focused.
Lol same, I often go to auto pilot with simple characters, so I would prefer character with the more options or just hella confusing (not saying simple = bad, it's just a me thing)
"Basic combos and concepts"
20 minutes long. Asuka is going to be wild.
Tysm for this it’s really gonna help my learn this character starting out I’m on the asuka bandwagon
Thanks!!
This is super helpful
I did not even see that draw until i read the notation lol I thought it was thunder dash cs 2s 2h at normal speed! That is crazy man!
Thank you.
Shoutout to you LK I’ve been watching kazunoko just play him but this video I’m bout to review like heck because i have been getting COOKED😂😭
You can actually confirm into 5S or cS from 2p>water cube or 2K>water cube, on top of that lightning cube will give you a full extension out of 2S which is nice
Thanks
If his projectiles are so plus that he can draw/change deck/charge mana while continuing pressure, then having Bookmark Full Import in your hand should let you loop projectile > mana recovery before drawing 4 with BFI for an extended blockstring.
I imagine having Bookmark Auto Import in hand should let you do something similar, just jail them forever until the effect runs out. If you have bar then you can probably brute force this by switching into Test Case 3 during a blockstring, using super to dig for BAI, cast it alongside a random projectile, switch to test case 2 and then just try open them with high/low spells.
we jacko now
Making a comeback with him is rough. Hc atleast still have throw curse and clone to wiggle around when he's out of bar while aska is locked out of his special entirely, not to mention aska only have one refill super but Hc have both refill for his bullet and concentration
that fire emblem song in the beginning is really nostalgic
what is the song?
@@tinybison. it's called "conquest"
I might be a guilty gear noob, but that first combo doing 40%-45% of sols health and being “bad damage” scares me
could you do progression videos talking about more stuff people find with him?
Playing Asuka is like what I imagined playing the boss version of nagoriyuki is like.
Thunder comes out at 12 frames and Water at 11. many 5 framers cant beat the water in block strings. so could be a mix like if he is doing thunder or water
thank you lk
his cancels are crazy, after doing a special once you can cycle trough all buttons, pull all cards, switch testcase into recover basically in one cancel string i dont think mana recovery cancels tho but everything else seems to
Mana rwxovery does cancel. U just gotta be super fast, its crazy. Just gotta get the muscle memory down i guess.
@@juliustaylor9920 oh sick, guess u can play a whole match from standstill by doing 1 quarter circle and then canceling everything lol
@@MommysGoodPuppy naw, ur opponent will get aggravated and eventually try to run up lol. Not only that but while you build mana the can also rush you.
Any advice on getting the 2k after a bookmark? I seem to cancel into mana charge more often than not
Any tips or pointers for draw into mana restore/test case swap? I keep getting one or the other
shout outs conquest
When I try to pressure in the corner with asuka I usually get spaced so far where my 2K whiffs any tips to fix that?
Season 3 better be hype. And we better get a fucking update that let's everyone do sj combos off their 2h
Is it just me or does the sj meterless combo not work with certain characters like Giovanna? I can do it on Ky and Sol but not Gio.
I feel like he might be good just because he's so insanely tanky with mana, in a game like Strive, that means a lot.
Yeah if you get the mana regen spell he can legit take some fucking punishment.
I can never get his close slash to activate after his down heavy
The cs after the cs 2h is so hard to get I don’t understand I get far slash almost every time
Asuka is making my thumb hurt lmao. It's nice that he's got quite a few shortcuts though on things like bookmark or mana recovery.
I love you
What is the song??
I don't think anyone that doesn't know num pad notations will dare to try Asuka lol
asuka combos and when to use them
5:55 you accidentally put c.s where 5k should be in the text on screen
It's funny how hard That Man has to work to deal actual damage in this game, when in lore up to this point he was bitchslaping everyone with his eyelashes and even in Strive he goes like "fuck you: de-Sol's your Frederick" in one move.
Yo @Lordknightfgc you can hit D to cancel the bookmark super idk if it changes the framedata but it will save some irl frames
👀 where the characters guide
Shadow Wizard Money Gang, Nine bros, what's good y'all
Anyone else getting the projectile super randomly when trying to draw cards?
You got to clean up your inputs buddy, I'm sorry
@@HellecticMojo I realized it's because the super is with punch or kick. I thought it was only punch. I was just confused lol. I got it now
6:00 that looks like a 5k instead of cS
You are correct on that, easy typo to get wrong, but yea you can't the 6hs follow up if you cS. At least from my testing.
It may be easier to become an actual sorcerer than master playing this one lmao
serious question
how is he supposed to fight against May?
Having fought a may I can confidently say that I have no idea
Use faultless defense to push may away and 6p dolphin if its horizontal and dash forward if its vertical.
2s is also useful on Horizontal dolphin after faultless defense depending on space between you and may.
Lets call the yellow cube "shock cube" its faster and one syllable. Oh and of course the overhead will be called the meatball and the low will be called gravy splash
Shock cube is nice. No meatball or gravy splash though.
I get he's difficult but 26 spells is like....really stretching it for complexity imo.
He's basically made for either fighting game masochistz or absolute sweats. Daisukes vision does it again
here to remind you that kid goku is indeed, a rat
I love u LordKnight pls marry me
This again???
