It has the same startup as F1 and F2. It would lead to slightly more damage in some situations and give a bigger reward for whiff punishing, but I can't think of much else it would effect. TPC frames aren't currently calcuable with F3, so I can't really speak on that. It would significantly help Ronin's situational meterless damage, though.
The whip hitboxes getting as big as the animation looks like would be sooooooooooooooooooo good
I'm calling bs on this. If characters like Kung Lao and Ermac are allowed to have 30%+ meterless combos from anywhere on the screen as long as they make contact, Takeda should have devastating bullshit as well.
What's bs about it? The second hit of air spear didn't scale. It was a bug. They fixed it.
Yeah he doesn't but i was thinking here, isn't kinda odd the way we have to do his meterless combos in Ronin and Lasher?
Read the salt man, read the salt! Takeda's design seems to be one giant bug. Why can't we at least keep the good bugs?
How long have you been playing takeda and who do you spar against?
Is this why you dropped him for cassie? Cause he's so good?
I'd be down for this personaly but I can see people thinking about lasher also as to why to opt for kunais.
In Lasher, anything into db2 is safe and is a true blockstring. Only kunglao and reptile can punish db2. Lasher as of right now is the only variation with Takeda that has all true blockstrings. Lasher doesn't really need to use the kunai as a low since he has a better one, which is db2, which the ex version you can confirm into a full combo after.
I think that move gets better armor if you do it in the air.
IDK tbh, i don't like this move on the ground cuz sometimes you have to guess when they will throw a projectile, some of them have a faster recover and you take a serious risk to get a full combo punishment. IMO this armor is kinda useless when it's done in the ground.
I think that move, whether you do it in the air or on the ground, is still a big risk. I think you have the armor for it all the way up until you hit if you do it the air but then again Takeda's armor feels random at times. I've used it a few times in lasher and ronin, but it still sucks.
Me too, his entire armored moves are bad but DF1 of Ronin is more decent, the way Tornado Kick flows is so odd, i think this move is unnecessary to be very honest.
Yeah but idk man, id rather if they fix his most useful moves than Tornado Strike, it is really bad and risky.
Takeda is one of the most inconsistent characters of the game, i have a lot of experience with him and sometimes i don't know how something whiffs or connect, he looks kinda poorly made...
Thankfully, he doesn't need a good NJP to cover jump outs during his pressure. He's always plus!
