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-) is a fighting game developed by Fuuki, released in 2000 for arcades. The game is a sequel to the 1998 arcade title Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty.

The gameplay of Asura Buster is similar to its predecessor, utilizing a three-button system while using most of the same mechanics, such as air blocking, short fast dashes, a roll and a jump up after being knocked down, pushblocking, and a two-button launcher attack.
Like its predecessor, Asura Buster has a super gauge system that fills up with time or when getting hit. Part of the gauge can be spent to use an EX move (which is a powered up variation of a special move). It can also be used in its entirety to iniatiate a Super Move or enter Boost Mode, an install that bestows character-specific buffs while passively draining meter and disabling EX moves.
The combo system in Asura Buster is the same as in Asura Blade, in which moves are naturally chained into heavier moves, then into specials or launchers.
There are three new mechanics introduced in Asura Buster:

A one-time use Last Stand mechanic, with which a player who runs out of HP can attempt to defeat their opponent within 10 seconds without taking damage.

A universal guard break attack that stuns opponents, taking the role of a throw.

Air teching, with which a character is able to recover from a hit while midair by spending 1 bar of meter.

+<br>
-it focuses a lot on interactions. stray hits from predictions in neutral can deal as much damage as a basic combo. getting to right position to start a combo is very hard for some characters and requires effort, cunning and planning to reach it
+<br>
+<br>
-consuming meter leads to very powerful moves, but it can only be built when time advances, so players must be strategic about using it
+<br>
+<br>
-it has an '''unconventional''' combo system and footsies game which rewards those who learn it with a fun and unique experience

-* Yashaou and Sittara are '''Shoto''' archetype characters

-* Taros and Goat have simple but effective tools as '''Big button''' characters. With Taros being noticeably faster and more agressive
+</div>
-* Rose Mary, Alice and Alice! carry the '''Zoner''' playstyle which may be harder to pick up for total beginners but is exactly what you may be looking for if that's your thing. Alice relies on a '''Puppet''' and stationary bombs while Rose and Alice! are '''projectile based zoners''', main difference between the two is that Rose is actually fun(and is somewhat of a '''normal based zoner''' too)
-* Leon is a '''Charge''' character
-* Nanami is '''Nanami'''
-* Rokurouta, Chen-Mao, Zam-B and Zinsuke are all '''Rushdowns''' but with vastly different gameplans and tools
-== How can I play as Alice! or Nanami ? ==
-Alice! and Nanami are secret characters, to unlock them either play for 1 match or '''highlight then press start on :'''
-* Alice! : Yashaou > Goat > Rose Mary > Taros > Zam-B
-* Nanami : Sittara > Leon > Alice > Chen-Mao > Zinsuke > Rokurouta
-==What Does The Tier List Look Like?==
-[[File:AB_Character_Tier_List.png|500px|Tier List as of July, 2021]]
-'''S''': Alice!, Rose Mary<br>
-'''A''': Yashaou, Sittara<br>
-'''B''': Goat, Alice, Zam-B, Taros, Nanami<br>
-'''C''': Zinsuke, Chen-mao, Rokurouta<br>
-'''D''': Leon<br>
-== Why shouldn't i play Alice when learning the game? ==
-the difficulty isn't the only issue<br>when we discussed it we agreed to stop new players from maining her since she doesn't let you learn the game mechanics<br>when you play Sittara you understand that :
-* early jump-ins are punishable on hit
-* normal chains that end with heavy are punishable on block so you need to either special cancel it or bait the opponent
-* you can block-cancel a multi-hit special move to beat out your opponent's air special
-Alice just kinda ignores all of that and plays her own way
-== Please read the system mechanics page ==
-[[Asura_Buster:_Eternal_Warriors/System|This page]] will help clear any confusion about unresponsive offence or lacking defence
