takuma doesnt have k or kulas offense, nor joes style when it comes to safe moves, nor duo long or athenas mobility and no really good get off me moves. basically what he does have is some zoning tools and high damaging corner combos. and a command throws set up for those combos. the only thing takuma had since the older kofs is lethal combos and corner combos. no need to take that away from him imo.
he isnt like k, kula, lizzy or raiden, who are all overpowered imo.
