Mix ups

[W E S T N I N E 9]

I've been trying to main Takeda since launch but I get destroyed by characters that have overheads and lows built into their kombo strings. Takeda doesn't have a single kombos string like this. I'm convinced that it's these certain characters that are beating me and not the player. I want to see how easy it is to open players up with simple button strings.
So who has the most kombos that have overheads and low attacks in the same string?

first of all, accept that you're getting beat by the player

then go into the lab, find out where these mix-ups are, and learn to block

try working in your dagger special for your lows.

@OP go in the lab and make the Bot do strings that make you problems , learn to block them and find strings that can punish and ofc open combos after that.
If you have problems finding them go in the Takeda forums and ask the people there.
Also as Notez4 said , you can do some strings followed by dagger (low).

hay its a new game so a lot of players are going to get hit with strings they are not used to blocking. plus most strings that have that overhead and low attacks are punishable my advice is learn what are your safe stings how your opponent reacts to your attacks and adjust accordantly Takeda has was to open people up just practice and watch videos . p.s. cassie cage has a bullshit block string high,overhead,low i believe smh

I don't have too many issues blocking correctly when playing locally, it's just online that I struggle. With the current state of this games online on PC, reacting to anything your opponent is doing is next to impossible. Too much lag. It's all about preemptive attacks and rush down. Any PC player knows this to be true. Honestly the game is shit on PC at the moment. We've been waiting for patches since launch..
That's why I'm convinced (at least right now) that characters win matches and not players.
I can't seem to beat them so I might as well join them.
