Its ok to be wrong about a character's viability. Lord knows I've been wrong too. I will apologize for that talking point. But like I said, the making of this thread had a sense of passive-aggressiveness to it that I didn't like. Maybe I was wrong about that too, but I felt the need to say something.
there we go this is literally all i was asking for, a discussion for options, i know i don't know everything, which is why i posted the video on tym and all takeda players can learn from the responses. i didn't see your video before posting this so my bad on that. i just don't understand why people have to blow me up still when i have good intentions.Man I was going to post that video... damn you @Wemfs !!!
@Zyphox i love you but Takeda does have options to blow up armor (see video above). You have to counter their armor with your own but if it gets blocked then ggs. It basically turns it into a 50/50 situation for both players. Some characters armor are so slow that you can do a tele cancel and block in time to punish.
If they are looking to armor out, you can just do f12 and go from there. They can OS armor after f12 (either blocking the next hit of the string or armoring right after f12) but then you can just do f12 then block and punish.
For Quan you don't have to worry about his armor because it gets stuffed by kunai.
Some characters can't even armor through because their armor comes out so slow. This includes: Ferra/Torr, Kotal Kahn and Goro
They can backdash but you are pretty much safe midscreen. In the corner, they can blow you up but if you do a tele cancel you can do the same.
Like others have said, you can also throw in f12+4 to mix them up, and some characters can't armor through it at point blank range.
I don't think this really hurts Takeda, it just evolves the meta. If you watch my matches vs. King I attempted to blow up his armor with EX Fist Flurry but I guessed wrong and he ended up blocking it. I tried it again the 2nd time he armored through my string but it didn't come out.
I was not wrong about Scorp. I was wrong about Aquaman and glaringly wrong about MMH though.To be fair, Slips is also a wanted Scorpion Downplayer with a rap sheet a mile long
had it been anyone else making this thread with the exact same words i guarantee you would not have taken it that way, all i ask is for the benefit of the doubt, before getting blown up about something i'm not doing. i'm really trying to have a change of heart, exploring my options. maybe i should have it made known so that everyone can hit there reset button when it comes to how they think about my post? i'm really just trying to level up and intake as much knowledge as i can get and spread information to help people instead of trying to say takeda sucks and shit.
I have tech with Lasher and use it alot. But until I'm recognized as someone actually playing takeda I'm not sharing shit
Don't shoot the messenger. All I'm saying is two guys came up to michaelangelo and started telling him you said that. Didn't know the guys. But that's what I heard. You seemed like an alright gentleman during our encounter but have been known to be salty. So I believed it
no offense but the fact that it's all unsafe as you showed just proves that the character can mix up the fact that he is unsafe and can change his pattern in any which way. Sometimes the best mix up is putting the unsafe things out there as a bait to even get a player off a bar of meter. you could also make a read on the back dash lets say if you know the player knows these options. I don't fault raptor for exploiting the lack of experience certain players had against takeda but when you start to understand and know the options the takeda player has it can also work against you and reset the yomi in the match.
thanks for responding, just to clarify again these people came up to him before or after top 16? i just want to know a time frame because it could have been around the same time trepound was saying that to me really loudly as bugman can attest to and it could be they thought i had said it idk. not sure who these people were i just hope they aren't trying to spread lies about me to get me blown up on purpose.
It's weird. If I were trying to give myself some credit after losing, I wouldn't accuse my opponent of playing a day 1 version of their character. That would make me look even worse lol
This applies to all his variations because F122+4 is a universal string. Ronin has just as much holes in his pressure as Shirai Ryu but he gets shit reward lol. There's a reason why every Takeda player uses Shirai Ryu but maybe I'm wrong and Ronin's better than I thought.
Teach me the ways of the Shirai Ryu
I wasn't talking about the string gaps I meant the part on cancelling to make them safe. Cancelling into blade drop to be plus is a safer option than cancelling the teleport and being -9
