Cr.B is always my answer to tick grabs, but it doesn't get me out of the corner. I don't want to make it sound like I can't beat the character - I can. I just feel like this character gets so much for so little. One j.CD or one command grab and I'm dead. There's lots of characters that can threaten big damage off a j.CD/command grab but they have to spend upward of 3+ meters and both drives to do what Takuma can do with 1 or 2. It reeks of cheese and I'm looking to give some of that cheese back.
I think I'll give Duo Lon a try since he can EX teleport out of the corner situation (which is my biggest issue), and maybe Athena, too. Thanks again for all the advice Diavle, I appreciate it.
