Asura

Asura is the 24th character in the game. He appears in Update 1.4 along with Canada, Chile and Poland. He is the fourth Non-Country character in the game and he is a 5 star opponent in Arcade. If you have any questions about the character Asura, please ask them here.

Playing style
As a CPU, Asura plays quite defensively, but is the first character to try to counterattack every shot.

Appearance
Asura has brown skin, glowing red eyes and small ears that are fully surrounded by his blond hair and sideburns. He has a smug grin and has a determined and somewhat mean look.

Power Button Effect
If you activate the Power Shot Button, four red fists will appear, two on both sides of Asura and he will say "Come on" in a fast voice. The fists seem to be attached to the back of his head. However, these fists don't hurt the opponent in any way, even if he is really close to Asura.

Power Shot: Red Fist Shot
Asura's Power Shot is the Red Fist Shot. Once he touches the ball to start his power up, he will fly towards his goal, staying at whatever altitude he was already at, and he says "Erie... Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta" in a very loud voice. Before the ball is shot, many (seemingly more than four) of his fists - which he gained after activating his Power Button Effect - will shoot out from him towards the defender's end of the goal. These fists will knock the defender back slightly, destroy any costumes he has on, and deal critical damage to the defender. The actual ball will be shot forward at the defender after all other fists are fired, and it will be shot high. If the defender does manage to block the ball, then he will be pounded to the ground by a huge red fist that comes from the top of the screen. This fist crushes the defender so that he is flattened to the ground. While crushed, the defender cannot move or deflect the ball; Asura can walk over him and the ball will roll straight over him as well. He (obviously) can't use his power shot or any other ability then.

Costume
Asura doesn't wear a standard costume in Arcade and Tournament.
