Only one Asuka player qualified for the Tekken World Tour bracket in 2017, and that’s Fergus2k8. This sponsored Tekken 7 pro was the lone representative of Ireland, and he scored a dominating win over America’s P. Ling during pools. If you’re an Asuka player looking to up your game, you could do worse then listening to Fergus’s advice!

Luckily, you don’t have to settle for worse. Fergus recently put out his thoughts on how Asuka’s offense works in Tekken 7. This isn’t just a movelist breakdown, but a discussion about how to think when playing Asuka, which should prove valuable for anyone looking to take her as far as Fergus did.

Evo Japan was a huge success, and Core-A Gaming (being based out of Korea) was able to make the trip, and Gerald Lee recorded his own impression of the event.

Speaking to people such as James Chen, Alex Myers, and Kayane, he describes the crowds, the hype of unknown players showing themselves to be killers, and the excitement to play new and anticipated titles. He also spoke of the significance of the event, with Knee and Infiltration both talking of the importance of winning the event, with Infiltration saying he would rather earn the prestige of winning Evo over the money attached to winning Capcom Cup.

When Aegislash was released onto the world of Pokkén Tournament DX, one of the first Pokkén players out of the gate with sick, sword slinging combos was Mewtater.

It’s probably not a surprise that he’s also bringing us some early, disgusting tech for the Sword-mon, either. It seemed pretty clear from the onset that Aegislash was going to be an okizeme-heavy, setplay-style monster — and stuff like the shield break setup above only further confirms that.

While the setup is character size-dependent, it is worth noting that it still puts characters too small to get guard-broken very close to such a state, with a move that leaves Aegislash at frame advantage. Very nice!
