Gaara at wich stage of transformation? Unless its the last one, i see Asuma having all the shots.
Better than Naruto did, anyway. Unless you want to tell us that pre skip Naruto, without using the nine tails chakra, is better than Asuma too. Wouldnt surprise me the least.
Even Kazagage Gaara wouldnt be a sure win, since Asuma can trow his knifes at a distance, and i dont think his sand shield is enough to totally hold off against the Hien.
Hes got a much better shot against the Jounin level for sure.
You just need to prove that the sand defence of a genin is sturdy enough to stop a jutsu that easily pierces thro wood and rock, when the user in question isent even trying.
Asuma is also faster than any genin we saw, close range or not.
Genin Gaara loses. Only shot hes got, is if he transforms at 100%, since it took Naruto the nine tails chakra and the Frog summon to take him on. Anything less than that, and Gaara wont do crap. Heck, in mid transformation, Naruto still injured him.
Kaekage Gaara will have a better shot, definatly. But still not an automatic win.
His sand defence is sturdier than both wood AND rock?
I think you need to prove me where does Gaara defence`s can take something that easily cuts wood and rock in the same move, even with the user in question is holding back his strength. And this done by someone in blitz mode, like Asuma has done.
Now, we know standart Genin Gaara wouldnt matter here, since an elite Jounin is faster than that. So the discussion is more towards Kazekaze Gaara.
Links?

You are comparing an explosion type jutsu, to a piercing jutsu?
It didnt do well against that ligthing technique...what was it called? Chidori? And what does the Manga claim? Wind > Ligthing in piercing ability? Ah yes.
I guess with you, i need to be more precise. Since the Hien is a piercing kind of jutsu, what has Gaara defended against, that was BETTER than the Hien in that regard, and couldnt even cut his defense?
