He's certainly powercrept right now, we're looking at some real kusoge shit in this patch. Virtually everyone else got buffed, and the top tiers got buffed even MORE, yet they pretty much shot oscar here in the legs by comparison. I think its asukover. (relatively speaking) I think he could use some qol.

As a TC2 Asuka player, I love the buff TC2 got, I don't love the super nerf and demands, though. As someone who can only ever learn so slowly and not good in the guessing game, the super cube is my go-to for sticky situations with no spell. Full order changing TC is a good thing as it opens up some really nice game plans, but the resource consumption outweighs its pros. Overall I don't think it affected me THAT much, aside from the supers which I think got unnecessary nerf along with his other nerfs

Honestly he still feels the same to play, however they did make it more difficult to manage mana like you said. The good Asuka's are still going to be going for the same setups and strategies. I think the main thing though is that when one of the hardest characters in the game gets nerfed to make him even HARDER, while other easier characters get more insane stuff (Ky's infinite, Ramlethal's sword toss, the entirety of Goldlewis) then it leaves a sour taste in people's mouths and makes people want to drop the character. He's still the same character to me, he has extreme highs and extreme lows, it's just that they made him more difficult lol. Also been keeping up with the content still and i've been loving it, good job Aco!

Any advice? I’m picking him up as my second character but I have a hard time maintaining my mana consistently

@reillocb Ай бұрын

@@volktol4432 get comfy with the execution for cancels, cause ideally you wanna mix up what you cancel based on game state. Also turns out the timings vary somewhat, but generally it follows recovery. You gotta go for 6h hard knockdown combo ender for guaranteed breathing room, but you also get more mana the closer you are, so mid combo cancels should be mana and after hard knockdown you can draw if you need. Get used to tracking the green color of the mana cards, you can always super jump and restore in the air that way. Ppl may whiff on the way you pause mid air casting spells, so you may get your turn back. Worst case you can always faultless defense on the way down Lastly for now, NEVER burst before mana break. If you burst as soon as you break you get the mana Regen for free

I think nerfing Exodia was a good idea, as they're trying to normalize the decks to all be good, but deck 3 was hit with one nerf too much. The change to the 5 cube was good enough, either revert the super cube change or tone down the nerf to the mana regen card. I think anyway. EDIT: You forgot to mention that using Deck 1's reduce-mana-cost card also reduces the drain from the bookmark super!

I've been looking to pick up Asuka for the past little bit due to how many people say he's uniquely complex even among fighting game characters and I learn a game best when im brute forcing literally everything all at once instead of taking it easy on a starter character, and from what I can see of this it honestly makes me want to do it even more. These changes read less like outright nerfs to viability and moreso seem to be aimed at speeding up fighting as and against him which is always welcome in a fighting game.

@ludwigvanmichael1183 26 күн бұрын

This character will never be properly balanced. First of all, you need an actual degree just to be able to play as him, and once you do, you still might lose just cuz of bad RNG completely out of your control, wich is unfair. If you do succeed, you end up destroying your opponent in the most uninteractable match the entire game, wich is also unfair. Nerfing a character that takes so long just to learn feels like a kick in the nuts, but leaving it the way it is is also not ideal, idk how archsy will go about it.

@reaper-seeker-9971 Ай бұрын

So, I did not main him in the past season but do have enough knowledge I feel to give a take since I’m picking him up again. That mana nerf does hurt a lot so having to manage that even more especially on the defensive makes things more stressful. I used more of TC3 with a mix of TC2 and TC4. The super nerf also hurts considering there is now less time to recover and think so you’re going into split second decisions and if you have no mana/spells then 50 meter is gone and you’re stuck in a hard spot. The bookmark super I like using to refill my hand and spam through whatever feels fun or works for the situation, as long as you’re quick I don’t think it’s too bad. I’m forgetting the other point I was going to make but Asuka is still fun to play still very technical just a bit harder to hold your own and keep track of a few things.

@nigelblacknall888 Nerf the characters when they are broke sure Chaos has been nerfed damn near every patch since release if you think players are just now able to play the character then honestly you're the problem mainly for relying on balance changes rather than learning and improving. My issue is they nerf him every chance they get while making everyone else better and better each patch with no signs of stopping at some point we pass the deficit and he just becomes objectively worse and not worth the effort. He's already an investment to play A. Why do that when you are constantly going to get punished for your time investment with non stop adjustments that make you worse and worse over time and B. Why even bother making that investment when it is objectively not worth it in the long run. It punishes people who play Chaos by making the character clunky, uncanny, or simply unfun to play. And it stops people who want to play him from playing him because Why would you put your balls in a vice if you aren't into that. He was fine over two balance changes ago now they are just being heavy handed because of community perception effectively saying screw all the people who put time into this you're the minority. Chaos hasn't and isn't going to be S tier again for a long time. Don't make a character worse and worse and worse when it's unnecessary and you're making everyone else better in the process that's how you get characters like GT goku and Bardock in FighterZ when they later when on to release Android 21 and MUI, Bayonetta when they then went on to release Steve so on and so forth.

Very very fair nerfs. There will be many less cases of TC3 exodia spam

@unghuf1955 2 ай бұрын

Honestly, I don't see why you would ever switch TC in super. Everything you are looking for is in TC3. Best mana is still in TC3. The mana card in TC2 is just sooo bad it restores like 15%(20% but it cost 4-5%) and even if it did 100% the strength of the green cards is that it's over time so even after green card got deleted it's still much better than the other mana card. The best way to regain your spells is still in TC3 and all the big spells that really shine once you have your combo going are also in TC3 and let's be real the most important part is the Gravity Rod which is also in TC3. And also to all the TC2 defenders. I dislike TC2 for one big reason. I am not gone sit here and tell you how bad it is (if you enjoy it that's fine) but how quickly it's not going to be fun anymore. Asuka is already a really spammy character, but TC3 has some cool interactions and interesting decisions since you can set up your offense and then try and get your opponent to mess up blocking (think of teleport for example). But in TC2 no spell is on-screen for longer than two seconds and interesting mix up tools like teleport are gone, so you have only one single gameplan that you spamm to try get past block. (edited to be a bit less harsh but same content)

@MisterAcolyte 2 ай бұрын

First off: "spam" is a pretty obtuse way of describing Asuka's kit. If you were to just "spam" spells without thinking or managing resources, you're not going to beat anyone who's even remotely decent at the game. Second, I heavily disagree with your overall take. If anything, you're a bit confused. The whole purpose of Test Case 3 is to prevent the opponent from interacting with you. That's literally what the gravity staff does, hold the opponent in place and prevent them from moving at all. Test Case 2 on the other hand is heavily reliant on short range spells, which forces you to get in close and engage with opponent. Lastly, outright claiming that test case 2 is "bad" despite the buffs seems extremely short sighted and narrow minded.

@unghuf1955 2 ай бұрын

@@MisterAcolyte To elaborate, when talking about TC3 "interactions" I was purely referring to the decisions the Asuka player has to make trying to outsmart the opponents blocking, I know very well how hard it locks down the opponent. But the thing that is missing to me in TC2 is anything that would change your gameplay for even a second that is the point I was trying to make with spamming it's not that Asuka uses his buttons too much that's normal but that it's always the same in TC2. TC3 for example has a flow to it and I would describe it as different stages that differ significantly but since TC2 has nothing really to set up into that is different from his normal flow in TC2 he feels flat to me. And lastly on the point of TC2 interacting more with the opponent. The main point is that almost all the spells in TC2 work on their own, they can just be used and then forgotten about. That also makes it much more unlikely to draw a hand that is not useful, compared to TC3 where much of its offense comes from combining spells. That is all to say that TC2 interactions with the opponent similarly to TC3 by trying to put the opponent in block stun and trying to bypass his block, but TC2 has fewer tools to bypass block and does it for potentially longer since there is less of a chance to have a bad draw. This is what I mean by fewer mix ups and meaningful interaction I was of course exaggerating when I said, never mixing up or interacting with the opponent.
