General/Other - Takeda (Old) Takahashi Takeda General Pre-Release Discussion Thread

[AssassiN]

Am I the only one who didn't know Takeda could throw his kunai while airborne? They never showed that on stream, and I didn't see it in his move list.

No. I don't remember that being showed. This is very interesting and has seriously peaked my interest.
I was looking forward to maining Liu, but it's shifting towards Takeda instead.

you should start to make a combo thread. :>

 

[NikkySan]

[TopTierHarley]

His J2 has so much range

 

[Method89]

I'm still undecided if i'm going to main takeda or scorpion, but takeda looks great.

I'm stuck between like 10 characters

Than I will have an easy live compared to you, good luck with choosing your destiny

 

[tjcombowins]

i will main takeda and jacqueline

 

[RoboCop]

Wow, I've been a little on the fence, but that J2 sealed it for me. I don't even care about his damage output at this point; he's going to be a neutral game nightmare.

 

[RoboCop]

LI Joe just confirmed that Takeda's whip normals do NOT trigger Ice Clone; they don't destroy it, they just pass through it. Parries weren't confirmed, but I think it's safe to say that close-up parries like Kano's and Sonya's probably won't work, though stuff like Kitana's probably will.

 

[protools27]

Anyone with a copy of the game got some juicy frame data for us

 

[LiangHuBBB]

I hope my copy comes tomorrow
<3 how his Ronin vers sounds like star wars lol
cant wait to main this beast

Sorry to quote myself, but how are Takeda players not more excited about this news? This was potentially a character-ruining matchup, and we find out he gets to ignore a huge aspect of the fight. This could be the difference between Takeda being tournament viable or having to have a pocket character to deal with Ice Clone and parries.

Does the ice clone disappear when Sub-Zero is hit? Or would he start a string and then be hit by ice clone anyway for being too close?

Clones disappear.

Has everyone realized just how stupid of a character Takeda is yet? This fucking guy scares me... and I use Liu Kang 0.o

 

[RoboCop]

The whips pass through the clone. So if clone disappears when Sub is hit, then it should happen with whips. And clone blocks projectiles, but Takeda can still reach almost full screen. So without invincible wakeups, what is Sub supposed to do when he gets cornered by takeda?

This was a potential advantage matchup for Sub, but now it should at least be even (based purely on available information, before people jump up my ass about using the word "matchup" in a forum post).

Not yet, but guys like @karaokelove keep doing everything in their power to bring it to light.

What would you say his biggest weakness is?

Savagery. ID like to see some lasher combos with the whip barrage special. That move just looks like it feels satisfying.

 

[Montanx]

The guy who posted the above combos has a couple more.
