Same PM me that tech as well, or just show it to me during a fight after I message you online, and maybe I can show you some unexplored Ronin Tech as well

PLEASA, I have been wanting to play you since before EVO, I have secret Takeda tech to share.

Hey @ExoticAbuse, sent you a PM regarding the tech. A similar variation of it has been discovered before. Although your version is always welcome :)

Pm me that secret takeda tech please, I'm really curious what you found. And how useful it is
Can you explain what it does exactly?

Check PM's

It's all so very confusing.
So if I were to pick Lasher up, having never touched the variation before, what are the 'core' things I need to know to start trying to learn him? Ie, the 'must know' BnB(s) and anything that's really integral to the variation doing work? Going to work on him some tonight alongside SR. Getting hyped for Takeda again.

Well learning how combos is easy, lasher is an entirely Match up based character, but he are some universal things, low slash is your friend, an 11frame half screen mid that can be special cancelled. There are some specifics about it you don't need to know right away but fit now, just know to use it a lot, close gaps in your strings with whip trip so that you can then start using the safer strings that do have gaps, introduce that element of doubt, it is very very good, keep at a range where you can hit them but they can't hit you, none of your whips have hurt boxes which makes him a VERY strong space control character. Bnbs involve starter ex whip flurry NJP 44 whip strike, starter b2 close kunai f21 whip flurry, in the corner f12 2+4 whip strike 112 whip strike, starter ex whip flurry 44 whip strike f3

Thoroughly appreciated. I put a little time in on him last night but not much. Hoping to get some more matches in today.

I'm just picking this all up, but if anyone is on PC and ever wants sets, hit me up on steam. Steam name is the same as my forum name. I'll play any skill level - I need to learn.

A quick question, just so I know.. who are Lasher and SR's bad MUs? Not necessarily like 5.5's but the MUs that are just plain painful

With lasher he generally can handle any match up due to the nature of his playstyle but the character that gives him the most terrible IMO is kotal Kahn since he can punish you every time for using whip flurry which is generally what you cancel most things into. Against kotal nothing is guaranteed, that can work into our favor at times but it is still difficult to adjust to
 
I generally struggle with zoners with the lasher variation. I wonder why all Takeda's variations don't have the teleport like some other characters do... anyways, yeah I can't fight Kitana's that zone so that's my experience with zoners as I've only played Lasher for a few hours here and there. Wouldn't mind some tips etc. Been reading around here so have a few bits to practice for now. Add me if you're Eu and PS4. I was supposed to quote someone about the lasher bad matchups with this post, but I messed that up!

"You play weird" It's called being unorthodox ;)

To stop subzero from playing his game, you go to GameStop, pick up a copy of Injustice 2, and play that instead of MKX.
