Takuma's Wiki entry.

Console changes:
- Jump CD comes out faster
- Stun value on attacks has been lowered
* EX Kyokugen Koou comes out faster and has quicker recovery. Still can’t be comboed from a normal or direction attack.
- Fierce Ryuuko Ranbu comes out faster. It’s still slower than the weak version, but it has invincibility until after the hit detection comes out.
- Weak Hienshippukyaku’s damage reduced from 70 to 50.

Producer Yamamoto says:
He has less stun values than the arcade, but he’s still easier to dizzy the opponent than other characters. Also, it’s not written above but damages on his other specials have also been raised, and he’s a character that can do high damage. He’s been buffed in a lot of places like his air CD and invincible Fierce Ryuuko Ranbu, so please try using him.

Woah, this is much more informational on first post than before. I like the move descriptions. Lol now time to do the same for the rest of the cast. No regrets!

When you have the time could you put descriptions for the special moves?

I know most of his moves but I can't place what his qcf-C/D is.

I'm sorry but can you tell me what is meant by "Can be broken"?

[krazykone123]

You can copy the rest of the wiki now, I finished the rest of the basic stuff

we need a list of combos for this dude

I'm sorry but can you tell me what is meant by "Can be broken"?

Can be broken literally means you can break out of it, like if you tried to do a basic " / + " throw with Takuma the opponent can press the same buttons to break out of it to prevent from being thrown

wow huge improvement, im really digging this info. this is basically what i suggested when you just started this site not too long ago. glad to see things looking so well, superb info. the kof mook did its job i see.

1 quick nitpick i gotta add though just to make it perfect sor to speak. theres additional info thats very important when it comes to kof, the command normals. it would be very nice to include theese moves other info needed for comboing (a must for kof imo as command normals basically dictate how to combo). for instance takumas f+B, can be combod into from lights or only from strong attacks.

something a liitle less important but maybe still very relevant depending on the character your playing (lets take shen as i know he can link for sure). something useful to add to his st close C or crouch C; can be linked into from lights, or crouching B.

if you guys add this its pretty much perfect. props for what youve guys been doing, its looking awesome (to whomever it may concern, niil or kk123).

What has changed so much about Takuma aside from his EX bug to explain why he hardly gets any use now?

[Mr. Soulstar]

I know im late, but what exactly was the EX bug?

[SAB-CA]

I know im late, but what exactly was the EX bug?

The bug allowed Takuma to do his EX Hien Shippukyaku without meter. If he had less than 1 meter, it would take anything he built up towards a bar.

EX Hien S. combos after light attacks, and sets up for nice combo opportunities.

You can update the first post, wiki is pretty much done, we can iron everything else out later.

[krazykone123]

Except for his Close C, besides that they're all the same.
