Takuma Sakazaki (Console)

[Ufgt]

Xian from Cross Counter Asia has a really good takuma.

@ Ufgt: Do you have a list where certain top players (like Xian) are associated with certain KOF characters? This would make searching for certain matches much easier.

Also if you're dealing with a terry player who loves to spam that crackshoot block string. after crackshoot ex command grab and reap benefits all day.

If he does D crackshoot and you block low, that's not going to work. He's at positive frames if you block D crackshoot low. You have to block that standing.

Agreed. I've been backtracking thru the video thread trying to find matches with certain characters and it's a real pain.

This may be a dumb question, but how do you unlock the tengu mask costume for Takuma?

Press Back/Select AFTER you pick Takuma and are choosing his colors.

Do it before you pick Takuma and you get Mr. Karate (if you bought him).

Hi.
Referring for example to the youtube-video "Takuma DDTC", combo 14, I have great problems to super cancel into    . (part of the combo chain  , , , ). I am aware of Kanes KOF shortcuts but none of them seem to work here.
Neither  , , nor  nor    . Only randomly there is a Supercancel.

I have no problems whatsoever with Andys Supercancel  which is essentially the same sequence, or any other combos of Takuma which finish into his super move  or  .
Any help would be appreciated.

He didn't super cancel into the super, he just did it. He couldn't supercancel even if he wanted to since he already spent all his drive.

Don't think you can supercancel qcf+D, qcf+B is the cancelable one iirc..

i hope updating the wiki about his (EX) = f,b,f+AC...
it's hits the airborne opp (juggle into it anywhere)
E.G do it on an airborne opp  after hitting him by any standing or jumping normal...
just saw it in a match video...(I'm note sure but it might be from The King of Fridays  first or second video  )

You mean as a counter hit juggle right?

[Diavle]

No it has the anywhere juggle property, ppl use it all the time in his stun combos.

Fighters Destiny music?  I like it already.

Definitely hopping back onto training mode after watching the stun combo in the end.

Does anyone have any tips for doing the qcf+D-crouching A link? I can do it, but I would like to do it more consistently and I can´t find any way to improve my efficiency. If done in the corner, and started from jumpC, C, f+B, it seems you have to hit the jC quite high, cancel the C into f+B as fast as posible, and then cancel the f+B into qcf+D as fast as posible too, while trying to keep really close to the dummy all the time, but I can´t pull the combo even with 33% efficiency. Doing it at mid-screen or in the corner starting with C (no jump C) seems to need slightly diferent timing. Is there something I´m missing? Any tips? Thanx in advance.

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks everybody for the constructive criticism. I've been workin a lot on my weaknesses.
