I think, the hitbox of his NJP should be adjusted as its range is far further than it could possibly be meant to be.
Apart from that Takeda is fine, I think!
sorry but Takeda njp needs to be adjusted. its pretty much a given.
what use is range when half of the whip doesnt seem to have a hitbox/active frames..
id gladly take less range for a better visible read on the njp - like seriously.. NRS could take away his whip njp and just give him a normal punch njp and it would actually be better.
same time , face to face with -soo much range how many have said- takedas njp loses to ANYBODY with a double handed njp ( raiden, quch , etc) it also loses to ermac, scorpion, sonya, kung jin, predator, jason, kitana, erron black, shinnok.. and prob a few others i forgot.. now the point is not the fact that he loses this njp match up-
its how he loses - it should not whiff as much as it does. everyone says oh takeda has soooo much range yet why does he lose these njp match ups if indeed he has the better range? truth is he doesnt..
VISUALLY YES.. but TRUTHFULLY he doesnt... the time is takes for the njp whips to engage and become active along side the deap spots in the whips hurts what advantages you have because of range
so here you have someone who is pretty much very dependent on his njp game..i say more so than at least half of the other cast .. yet we have instances when we make the right call to njp and an opponent can just float though as if nothing has happened and then get an easy 30%
you talk about reads, but reads go both ways .. if i read that someone is going to jump and then what happens in Steathlys video happens to me, it becomes aggravating.. cause, had i mad the same read with Quan chi , they'd be in vortex and i still be on my offensive.
But its whatever really..fix or no fix. NRS at this point can even nerf him and id still be a takeda main ... if they fix his gaps and give attention to some of his whip moves ill be greatful but how much can you fight the mob right?
food for thought- Kitana can njp a crouching opponent more consistently than that of takedas.
the hitbox on Quan Chi's and Raidens njp so far more devastating and consistent vs Takedas both jumping and descending.
yet takeda has more "range" cause of whips??
also this above was only about his njp but then there are times like this

now although this can be user adjusted to make the timing work..
visually there should be zero reason why this didnt connect . but its not.. its just something we have to deal with/ adapt to.. the thing about this is if you dont play as takeda seriously, all these things get over looked as "shit happens".. yeah shit happens... but not when something this minuscule could the difference between 1st & 2nd place.
people think takeda mains are just bitching for buffs but you be surprised how much a takeda that plays fairly decently is actually consistently adapting
?
