Gobou’s asuka will always terrify me

0:34 That teleport was disgusting.

9:33 goofy ahh asuka sound effects

[@waitingforzato-1i-noinguil301]

ASW put so much time into making this character, that Asuka has different voice lines when taking damage - depending on whether you have Mana, or it's at 0.

@@waitingforzato-1i-noinguil301if that’s true that’s really cool

[@waitingforzato-1i-noinguil301]

I watched this set yesterday on my PC (I follow Gobou in the game, and this came up under recommended replays), and despite the fact that this is a hard matchup for Asuka; the score was like 10:3 - Gobou I believe. For the last 3 games they played, it seemed like Gobou became frustrated with the Nago MU, and after being down 2:0, Gobou unleased tournament Asuka, and MTFM didn't get to play the game on both rounds. Moreover, Gobou eventuality switched to Goldlewis, followed by Zato - and let me tell you, Gobou made the Zato/Nago MU look horrible for Nago - hopefully, those get uploaded as well. Last, Gobou said that Asuka may have only been minorly weakened; and it looks like Gobou is keeping true to their words, as they are still solitaire-ing the opponents like in the previous patch (this may cause Asuka to get nerfed again next patch). Thanks for showing us that Asuka is fine, Gobou.

if people dont hit cubes thats their fault

[@waitingforzato-1i-noinguil301]

​@@finallyanime​コメコメ, a Case 2 Asuka user (who sadly, may have quit after the Asuka nerfs) said: "As for the cube speed, those who could erase it originally could erase it, and those who weren't willing to didn't erase it in the first place." - meaning, they disagreed with the nerfs that made hitting cubes easier and slowing the cubes down overall. I do believe the nerfs were necessary, because it still weakens Case 3 to an extent; but as a result, it looks like Case 1 and 2 suffered more from the nerfs as a whole. With that being said, if you bought the season 2 pass, and complain about how "broken" Asuka is, that's your fault for not labbing counterplay; Asuka is probably the biggest knowledge-check character in the game, along with Faust - but also the fact that the character has a win condition, but no specific flowchart also adds to the difficulty of fighting it. If you don't know when to press your character's 3f/4f/5f normal, 6p through gaps, or when to yrc, then you need to go into training mode and figure it out - will it be easy? No, but you'll do much better the next time you fight this character. I see far too much complaining about characters in this game - even from top NA/EU players - top players using top 1-5 characters, and complaining about other top 1-5 characters. Regarding Asuka: to me, it feels like just because they don't like fighting Asuka/hate the character (which is understandable), they want their character to have a 7:3 or 8:2 advantage or something, just because they're too lackadaisical to go into training mode and implement counterplay. However, I'm not really surprised, because I've seen some NA/EU players complain about Asuka players who used Case 1 or 2 in matches; if you're losing to those 2 and have the season pass, then you only have yourself to blame... Gobou said Case 1 & 2 are too weak; so when you think about it, this is equivalent to fighting Asuka as if he were a lower-mid tier character....

0:33-0:37 how crazy of using teleport by gobou

[@cyaanidde4394]

That first round was ROUGH

[@69thApostleOfShindoL]

As an average player and a nago main, I'll say MTFM has a reckless/aggressive play style. Gives fire pressure with combos and mix ups but guesses wrong at crucial moments. They should also handle that blood meter with care, Christ. Gobou was amazing. Used every opportunity they got nicely. Best matchup I've seen in a while.

[@memedealer7001]

if you want to see a more defensive nago I'd suggest iwan. One of the most patient players. Could be a pot player with that patience

[@69thApostleOfShindoL]

@@memedealer7001 Yep. Watched his play after this and they were patient.

[@CraftVader1]

Gobou does say on stream that he thinks zato is still better for nagoriyuki, but his asuka looks good too.

[@itsdevillion]

Asuka is easily my favorite fighting game character to watch

That wallbreak combo taking out 90% of nagos health without casting a single spell is insane.

how did he do his entire healthbar in the first fight?

bit late but nago has a mechanic where he enters blood rage if he blood meter is full while in this state, his health will drain constantly so if you get comboed whilst in blood rage, ggs

Assuming you are new to the game: It´s what happends when the blood gauge, the bar he has above the tension bar, gets full. His bar works like this: everytime he uses a special move, the gauge will fill a 1/4 of the bar, but if he uses a normal that uses the sword, it will drain a little. If the bar gets full, Nago will enter in Berserk State when he will put out his mask and his sword will gain a red aura. In this state, Nago normals gets inmaculate reach and gains a new super (One of the best in the game) but the backdraw is that he loses the ability to use his special moves and loses health constantly, meaning that, if he get´s combo´d he will get A LOT of damage. Nago's gameplan consist in find a balance between using his special moves and his sword normals to keep the blood leves in check, because, if he reaches the berserk state, It will mostly mean game over. Another facts that should be known is that the Berserk state will only last a couple of seconds, stoping the health drop the moment he comes back to his normal state, so, if he manages to keep the opponent away during Berserk state, he can still survive and win the match.

[@zmkatsu4885]

@@M-Trigger ah i see, but in that time sheesh so much health lost when asuka gobou literally escape wall break and commit full combo. The drawback was really hurt. I can say this is literally average nago player maybe?

[@M-Trigger]

@@zmkatsu4885 This Nago in specific did good, specially against Gobou´s Asuka, who is a beast, but yeah, losing the match because of Berserk state is probably the most normal thing a Nago main can do, the blood gauge is incredibly difficult to manage, to the point that even his best players fail and get demolished for it. But is not like Nago is a character that you will see lose very often, he´s ranked by most top players as one of, if not the best character in the game, he´s insanely good at almost everything he wanst to do and has incredible tools, so the blood gauge mechanic is there to balance things out.
