thanks for the input, great points made - plus nobodys dropping takeda. ..They are two totally different characters and play with 2 VERY different playstyles.
It's almost asking why you'd play Guile when you can just play Zangief.
Takeda controls space and controls the neutral game in ways that no other character can. He has high damage output, as well as some of the highest unbreakable damage. Did I mention that he can control space simply from the threat of attacks?
Is takeda better than scorpion? No, but that's not a reason to play scorpion. If we had this mind state everyone would just play tempest kung or bojutsu jin.
Takeda is not a rushdown character. Sure, he has options to rushdown but he shines more when he is at mid range.
Scorpion is a rushdown character.. At least in ninjutsu or hellfire. He has to get all his damage from ranges in which most other characters get their damage.
See what I'm saying? Anyway if u wanna drop takeda for scorpion go ahead. I don't think anyone would stop you lol
i know they have their different styles but out of all Takedas variations, i like SR the best for the moves it has- BUT -along side scorpions move set - a lot of the SHIRAI RYU moves i feel scorpion makes out a bit better with by comparison ( not all but a few)
and also, they are a bit more alike than Guile an Zangief... lol i mean at least use guile and charlie..lol or lets use the Shotos
Ken Ryu Akuma Goulen, Sean, Dan, etc - They all have the same fighting ansatsuken( Shotokan )
but play differently - just as much as SR takeda and Scorpion- YET- the balance for what each character brings to the table is debatable..
i mean look at the Ryu vs E. Ryu vs Akuma/Gouki vs Oni debates.... each player base has their own POV as to why which variation is better etc.. its all suggestive though. same as this thread.. But in street fighter, there is a different Footsies/ damage/meta system that rewards some versions in compensation for what they lack. MKX doesnt really cater to some of the benefits that SR takeda has over the SR moves that scorpion does. IMO
i agree 100% that takeda is not rush down- pressure yes, but rush down no, and with that being said MKX as of how the game is being playing now does not give a lot of time for patience in most match ups.
