What is a philosophical viewpoint that, on the scale from absolute Asceticism to absolute Hedonism, leans 75% towards Asceticism?

Stoicism, probably.

I think you need to define "absolute Ascetism" and "absolute Hedonism" first, OP. Here is my take on it:
'absolute Asceticism' is to not fill any desire whatsoever under any circumstances
'absolute Hedonism' is to fill any desire whatsoever under any circumstances.
We can clearly see that 'absolute Asceticism' implies starvation and death if the ascetic derives any sort of utility from eating. We can also see that 'absolute Hedonism' implies becoming the person that only has an Id in a Freudian sense.
This means that you should fill your desires in 25% of the cases where you have to do so, and not in 75% of the cases.

Can someone explain why the Continental - Analytic distinction exits?

Well, the problem of a viewpoint that leans 75% towards asceticism, away from hedonism is that it naturally inherits the metaphysical problems connected to both of them.

What you want is a rule of life, not philosophy.
