Swift of foot, Asuna is the definitive speed-demon character of DFCI. Wielding a rapier, her normals are of comparable range to Yuuki’s and her ground normals are faster. Her 5A is the best in the game and both of her A normals are active on frame 5. Combine her impressive moveset and versatile specials with the fastest normal run speed in the game, Asuna possesses incredible conversion prowess on her own. Add a trusty assist to aid her and it becomes quite apparent why Asuna commands such respect from foes.
