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 launcher attack.
Like its predecessor, Asura Buster has a super gauge system that a player is able to fill up through either attacking, being attacked, or using special moves. Once that is done, they can then initiate either a Super Move, an EX Attack (which is a powered up variation of a special move) or a Boost Mode (which bestows special traits or characteristics upon the character for the remainder of the round, but forces them to not use Super Moves, EX Attacks, and two-button melee attacks).
The combo system in Asura Buster is the same as in Asura Blade, in which moves are chained into more powerful moves, and then into specials.
There are three new mechanics introduced in Asura Buster :
- 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 that stuns opponents
- an air tech, in which a character is able to recover from a hit while midair through the use of 1 bar of meter
