Dragunov has just better opportunites to get damage considering his rushdown is actually legit, Asuka is pretty gimmicky IMO.
Her sweep and safe launchers are good stuff though.
Well , no wonders dragunovs rushdown is better just like asuka is better at keepaway , dragunov is very momentum based and he's gotta to take risks to keep going , asuka pokes pretty good then plays a defensive game to capitalize on mistakes , she isnt about heavy mixups anyways , both solid characters
On the Heihachi subject: so for ya it's better a character that has no decent lowcrush , average WS punishment that hasn't got a low that isn't launch punishable?
I prefer a character that has a safe lowcrush ( uf+4 ) , a high&low crushing move that gives a combo on normal hit ( u+3 ) even if it's launch punishable , a mid launcher with easy input ( d+3+4 ) , a low that deals huge damage and it's +5 on hit ( CD+4 ) , a low that isn't launch punishable ( db+2 ) , a good amount of mids ( b+4 , df+1,2 , ff+2 ) , a WS launcher that deals more than 56 damage , a high crush on a simple input that wallsplats and another one that isn't launch punishable ( db+2 ).
In fact DJ can play whole rounds making you micro guessing between safeish mid and lows without risking much , Heihachi even tho he's great upclose with df+1 and EWGF HAS TO risk his balls getting launched if he chooses to go low.
Kazuya hasn't got quick pokes besides df+4,4 , great lows , lacking lowcrushes , so and so highcrush , huge risk / reward mids , the best WS moves and a 13 frames EWGF , oh and he can tag his TP.
Heihachi is clearly powerful , im not saying he isn't and df+1,2 is a move that stand-alone makes a character great , he also got the parry jolly wich is pretty useful.
But he takes big guesses when he goes low.
If i have to make a summary , Kazuya is the more pressure oriented character with the right execution , DJ is the most complete and Hei is a combination between the two.
