if you're starting from cr.B midscreen, I think it's usually best to end with fbf+P with the main reason being that it causes a hard knockdown. This allows you to position yourself for the crossup or other means of pressure for free. If you connect the fbf+P close enough, it's also drive cancelable so you can cancel into the command grab -> cl.C xx fwd+B xx db~f+D, etc. which usually will get you to the corner. I know you said meterless, but that's just another reason fbf+P is a more versatile option. Every now and then I think ending with db~f+B or qcf+B is OK for soft knockdowns and a little forward progress, but yeah fbf+P is your best bet. From cl.C midscreen, pretty much you're looking at cl.C xx fwd+B xx db~f+D -> j.C/D/CD. That's the most damage you'll get and it also positions yourself to continue the pressure upon landing. Practicing the buffer for db~f+D is a must for Takuma play. If the db~f+D gets you close enough to the corner, you can usually juggle with one db~f+B and follow up with fbf+P, or two db~f+Bs and that can end with a cl.C.

Would you recommend ending with fbf+P in the corner or two db~f+Bs to cl.C?

Anyone know what Takuma's go-to meterless BnB's are? He has so many different enders for combos coming off c.B or s.C(both in the corner and midscreen) and I don't know which is best to work on.

Also is Takuma viable as a battery? Or does he work best in the middle?

Good to know that there is at least something at A&C wherever that may be :p

I might try posting on KOF Toronto/KOF Canada or whatever group I can find on Facebook as well...

It's in downtown Toronto, which makes it unavailable for me to go to, since I'm from Markham, and the bus ride/subway there would be way too long. Here's the address:

706 Spadina Ave, Toronto

I would like to know this as well. Since LoveGety Station shut down last month, I'm not sure where a local scene now exists for KOF outside of A & C, which I'm pretty much unavailable to reach on a regular basis due to the amount of time it takes to get there by public transportation(Around 2+ hours coming from Markham). Is there another scene around the Markham/GTA area that I can go to or is A&C the only one? I've been really meaning to start playing KOFXIII for real and make it my main fighting game, but with the terrible online and no local scene I can frequent, I'm stuck just playing story mode, doing the trials, or sticking in training mode, which of course doesn't give much in the way of motivation to really improve my play.
