Asura Buster: Eternal Warriors/Rokurouta

From SuperCombo Wiki

Rokurouta comes from a distant oriental country and is ordered by his emperor to investigate the mystery of the lost continent with the help of his young sister Nanami and Zinsuke. He is a self-proclaimed "ninja of justice" who uses shurikens, scrolls, crystals, and acrobatic skills and techniques.

In the world of Asura Buster, where there are many agile characters, the speed of his movements still outshines others. Rokurouta relies on his speed and versatile tools to get in and rake in a lot of damage thanks to his great combo game.

Command normals

6b
AB Rokurouta 2B.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
- 17 - - H special -3 -4

Rokurouta does a short hop and does a 2B
we are still unsure what the purpose of this move is, for now it's an unconventional mixup

  • will completely miss and crossup both Alices when attacking from the right side but works normally on the left (don't question it)


6c
AB Rokurouta j.c.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
- 17 - - H special -3 -4

Rokurouta does a big leap and does a j.C
hits overhead
quite slow and has bad range
launches on hit, allowing for combos

Universal mechanics

Launcher
any 2 buttons
AB Rokurouta AB.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Block
- 7 - - M O Launches inconsistent

on hit, Causes a big wall bounce and puts the opponent on indefinite hitstun until they hit the ground or use meter to tech it
can be combo'd universally with A>B>C or A>B>Launcher combos.
most characters can add an air special or delay the launcher and do a ground special
if you hit an opponent with 3 launchers in the same combo they become completely invincible until waking up from the knockdown state
a lot of EX moves (Rose's 214EX), few meterless specials (Taros j.236x) and very rarely normals (Rokurouta's 6C) have last hits with the properties of a launcher. these hits count towards the 3 launcher cap.

Air launcher
any 2 buttons

No difference from the ground version, but some characters have air launchers with slightly less recovery frames


Guard break
22C

- 6 - - don't O Stun O

This replaces grab, a quick attack that stuns blocking opponents.
common followups are combos, launchers, knockdowns and some supers
countered by not blocking, jumping or attacking back

Rokurouta throws a shuriken.
actually a decent projectile, is pretty great at zoning players who aren't comfortable with their jump-ins

EX version makes him throw a barrage of shuriken. they are not multiple projectile, just a massive multi-hit projectile

Waves a banner
effectively a reversal, it doesn't have iframes but who needs those when half the screen is a hitbox?
very good as a combo ender and can even be used to stall in "Last stand"
EX version uses triple banners for triple the pain, now it has way more hits, dealing way more damage
