like really.. apparently it needs corrective tracking too...

im really hanging on by a whip guys...

also as a side note- i actually played a really good SR takeda today on XB1
our connection was crap but somehow he was managing to hit njps no prob.. the lag and freezing were really messing up with my momentum and excustion. anybody else other than a SR player, & i would have quit but it was quite good even with the connection probs.

Randomly got an idea for possible set ups

http://gfycat.com/CleanPointlessAmericanrobin - pretty sure storm did the ex kunai and njp in the eu tournament

http://gfycat.com/FearfulHandmadeBittern - I'm sure someone could time this better than I could. I wouldn't expect people do this though since air spear is super punishable. The alternative to this is B21 once you put down the ex kunai's.

http://gfycat.com/IdioticHardtofindGermanshepherd - throw after the set up. Even if they break the throw, they'll eat 12-16%.

Also, If you're gonna do this set up or some other variation of it, I'd try to push the body into the middle just in case of a wake up. If they wake up with armor, the kunai's will knock the person out of armor most likely.

My bad if this is idea has been shared already

I'm starting to think that NRS just let some intern design Takeda. Compare Takeda to literally any other character. Whoever made him clearly had no idea what every other character had access to.

Takeda is the MKX equivalent of SSF4 Guy. He's an incomplete character. As everyone around him gets exponentially stronger/weaker he's just smoke and mirrors. His changes literally have zero impact on his overall standing.

You guys are serious down players. If u want buffs that bad spam paulos twitter or something. Takeda isn't that bad of a character... Look at Jacqui and Goro for Christ's sake. Jacqui has the frame data of an elder god, but can't use half her strings due to hitbox issues.

Takeda does perfectly fine against most characters and has a few bad match ups. If you don't want bad match ups, play lao.

I only play low tier characters, but I love Takeda. The only way I'll allow myself to play this character is if everybody universaly agrees that he sucks. So I'll keep downplaying. I'll downplay until evey man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth says, "Takeda? I hear he's not great." I'll downplay harder than anyone has EVER downplayed. I'm looking at you, Nightwing community. I'LL DO ANYTHING FOR MY LITTLE KNUCKLEHEAD! I WILL NOT YIELD!

Nice combo Stealthy.. Are you able to pull this off consistently? How about online? Tried for a bit in training and its definitely doable, but not sure how viable it will be during online matches as it seems the timing is super strict...

That's why I didn't post it in the BnB thread lol. I'd say 8/10 times in training mode. I haven't used it online, though.
Edit: The video's purpose is to demonstrate that max damage can be achieved without sacrificing the corner. I know for a fact that the first two combos are old news.

When I manage to hit a JiP I use exactly the same combo, except for the njp~run after db3 - makes it more safe for 3% less (43% net)

EDIT: it's much more consistent and works online(green) :D

I get a LOT of mileage from d3xxdb1b. Definitely add it to your arsenal, if you haven't already.

I use it a lot, almost everything after d3 is awesome due to the +1 on block.

Btw I'm mixing a lot on blocked JiP~44~ to close Kunai, when I try to start this combo - and no, the JiP start is not working on everyone.
I usually manage to use it only on punish or when I download my opponent. ;D

F122+4 works against Jax if he is using the Carl Weathers skin, apparently. Can anyone actually test this? I don't have the skin.
Click to expand...
wow tested this and it's true. does this mean Carl Weathers Jax has a different hurtbox than his other costumes? and is it going to get fixed? @colt

edit: it's not that big of a deal so i guess it doesn't have to be fixed. i just think costume specific hurtboxes are weird

I just started using Takeda. Is f12-2+4 ex kunai viable pressure? You can loop it 5 times(last time without the EX) and I was unable to poke out of it with Kung Lao.

EX kunai is +32.

I should probably read around first, as this is probably common knowledge or isn't as effective as it looks. I was just hoping a Takeda regular would clarify for me.

Edit: So far I can only get out with Reptile and Sub Zero's EX slides.

yea it's viable but they can armor out before the ex kunai. if they dont have meter u can chip them out at the end of a match. u can mix it up by delaying it and doing a pseudo unblockable with b2. Also u can fuzzy guard 11 frame or slower armor moves so it's technically a true blockstring on half the cast.
