I struggle against takeda once he gets his groove going. I really don't know how to punish him. But I guess the key to that match up is to keep it as close contact as possible and be aware of the njp. When you say drops his blade do you mean the low projectile? We can armor through that? That would help a lot but i thought after the buffs they closed all his gaps? I'm probably wrong thats just what i heard
first keep all your matches grounded against all characters, if you have problem with takeda practice against the b21 (the overhead low) if he drops the blade he can recall it and breaks all armor even the x-rays, you block and then you use your armored special (bf2 or fbf4) , remember, we are way faster than takeda, we have a 6 frames (f12 fbf4 high) ,a 8 frames high but it is a combo (s113b34f44fbf3), a 9 frames low (f44)and a 10 frames attack (f213)
Breaking the x ray armor haha that is so awesome. If they made xray to have a certain amount of hits of armor then they surely knew that there would be characters or ways to break it so I think this is cool
Wow incredibly helpful. Thanks a lot bro. Can't wait to try it
Those special moves after the sf don't connect and can be blocked apart from the fk or sf into another world in corner (I think) , there's no point doing the other specials , your better just ending the combo in regular windmill punch and get guaranteed next block string /throw
Ending combo in wp guarantees overhead or low after
not when blocked
If it's blocked it's not a combo lol I'm talking about ending in wp. no point in doing sf at the end into special when can guarantee more pressure after combo
Are we talking about the same thing? For example f44 wp on hit , you would do shaolin flame after your wp then what? You can escape most what ur describing, I'd rather get a guaranteed mix up/ little pressure and do more damage and possibly lead into another restand position
How do you get wp sf wp to link, I seem to cancel into the wp right after sf but it does not link?
You have to do it in the corner for it to link and 112 ex sf is neutral I think, f44 I believe is slightly negative but could be wrong, b12 and f12 ex sf are negative.
There's no secret really. Like with every other cancelable move, you need to finish input of your special during startup frames of the move you are intending to cancel (SF in this case).

I suppose your best bet would be inputting fb slightly in advance (not too hard when you do WP~SF~WP) then be on point with your f+4 when Liu starts his dd1 motion. I recommend to stagger f+4 from the rest specifically because MKX has a story of losing inputs from buffer when working with 3-motion inputs like dbf, maybe this one isn't an exception too.
If that's correct, you may say that pressing last f and 4 simultaneously is a "secret" you're looking for. To me this was a secret to cancelling strings into grabs
Timing is still rather strict though.
