Hello dear readers, and welcome to my dojo!
This page is dedicated to the awesomeness that is Asuka Kazama and in here I plan to discuss various her, my current main character in DR. There will be combos, strategy, hopefully the frame data, maybe some images and whatever else I can find and put up here. Updates will be sporadic but I will try my best to keep the content fresh should there be any changes in the actual data that I gather. The site will focus primarily on DR until Tekken 6 is released but I will include the name of the game in question in the title of each topic for easier reading.
So anyway, the name is HexElf and while I've been playing just about every fighting game I could get my hands on since Street Fighter 2 hit the Snes (which adds up to well over two hundred titles at the moment) I haven't been playing Tekken competitively for more than the past year or so and it's only over the past six months that I have had some serious competition as well. While DR is my main game now, with it being an absolutely superior game to to 5.0 in every way imaginable, I actually came to enjoy playing Tekken 4 really, really late. In that one I play around with just about the entire cast, especially Lee, but when it comes to DR it's all about Asuka baby! Lately I've grown considerably more confident in my skill so I decided to open this dojo blogg as a sort of resource where I can share my view and hopefully get in touch with other Asuka players and have their input as well. Because in the end, who needs that other Kazama coverboy anyway?
Before we get this thing started however there are some people and some shout outs I'd like to list regarding this whole blogg and all the motivation they have provided towards creating it. After many years of shunning the series as a broken piece of garbage, these people finally made me realize that a life for me without a competitive Asuka would be a hollow one -_^
I guess readers who don't know me personally, yet, can just skip this loooong entry and go ahead to the other sections.Hiei
The best damn writer on the net, period. I've always considered you almost like a big bro of sorts and while I know we've never officially met in a Tekken matchup I'll make damn sure not to disappoint when it finally happens! Keep that Devil Jin and zero-compromise attitude sharp for me in the meantime will ya?
JackD
My main man on the net, knower of all things in the genre and all round awesome guy. Thanks for keeping track of all those names I keep forgetting, thanks for providing every piece of interesting news (no matter how small) and thanks for always lending a hand with my writing. Maybe we'll be play Tekken too some day?
Natta
The little boo and the coolest sister one could possibly have. She'll knock your socks off, take your money and, unless you're truly hardcore, knock you out right after as well since she's most likely twice the gamer you are.
KiwE
Possibly he most serious minded fighting gamer that I have met so far. Thanks for helping me get on the competitive fighting game wagon, always bringing such a tremendous fighting spirit and tactical guidance to all our sessions. It's improving all those little things that counts the most in the long run after all.
Takeo
Thanks for providing endless variations of noob crushing tactics for my Asuka to learn from, for being a strong opponent with a passion for Tekken and being an all round great guy! Oh and thanks for taking Soul Calibur seriously as well -_^
Embergem
The only mixed fighting gamer I have in my area, and that counts for gold in my mind! Thanks for your natural ability to find the easiest solutions to any given problem, your serious attitude towards the genre and for always striving to become better no matter how difficult the opponent is.
Chaotica/Trailblazer
Yes I know you probably hate me right now but for the longest time you really were an inspiration and looking back I realized that without you I wouldn't even have begun to understand how much great competition there is out there, not just in Tekken but in all games. And regardless how things ended up I'll always be eternally grateful for you sorting out "that" issue with me. Believe it.
Lord Prashant
It's too bad we can't play anymore, it's thanks to you beating my Asuka like a ragdoll for so many sessions that I was able to motivate myself to learn the game proper, and there are few people I know with so much insight in Tekken 4 still. I hope the lack of penguins in T6 don't put you off too much.
DragonFangs
If there's someone with more natural talent for games in general I'd sure like to meet 'shim. Thanks for being so open minded towards the genre and taking it so seriously that you actually arranged, practiced for, participated in and bloody near won a mixed fighting game tournament! Unreal.
Kandycore
Always an inspiration to rise above your station as an average Joe worker ant. Thanks for continually pushing me and others in more interesting directions and not allowing us to settle down with what's merely average.
Marvel/Therius
Probably the most hardcore gamer in this country today, Tekken players all over the world should consider themselves *lucky* that you've only played it casually so far. Thanks for providing such a relentless attitude towards improvement.
ToraK
Thanks for being my quite possibly biggest inspiration for training to win against other Tekken players rather than simply accepting numerous defeats through one excuse after another. Keep it up man!
Markus
Now you've "gone home to be a family man" so I'm not sure if you even play Tekken anymore but thanks anyway for the early days when we used to play Street Fighter til our knuckles bled and the countless Tekken matches that followed. There's some serious payback coming your way Asuka-style whenever you feel like it, this time Feng will go dooown!
Felicia
I don't where you are right now, but I hope you are happy and doing well. Thanks for all your endless support in the past, I miss you.
Kecchin
Thanks for your endless banter on how fighting games are an inferior breed, it only makes me want to play them even more if only to annoy you haha! And thanks for being an overall great guy in general. A great guy with a car.
Wow that took up more space than expected, but don't worry, it won't be too long before Asuka took over the majority of the blogg. Peace!
Asuka Kasama
