Introduction

Asura Buster - Eternal Warriors (アシュラバスター -エターナルウォーリアーズ-), a 2000 fighting game by Fuuki that has way too much potential. The game is a sequel to the 1998 arcade game Asura Blade : Sword of Dynasty.

The gameplay system of Asura Buster is similar to its predecessor, in which it utilizes a three-button system while using a few of the same battle tactics such as air blocking, retreating and advancing, a roll and a jump up after being knocked down, a push back from within blocking, and a two-button wallbounce attack

some other unique features include :

- a one-time use "second chance" mechanic that allows the round loser to go back and win if they manage to defeat the opponent in 10 or less seconds without taking damage

- replacing grabs with a quick guard break attack

- a Boost mode with effects depending on the character, which makes them stronger by giving them unique properties.
