AND he has a full screen fatal blow, which really benefits characters in this game imo. Being able to rob a round from full screen is a scary thing to be able to do.
its more like being able to wiff punish your opponent, or even punish the projectile. but i think that the best fatal blow is rains, barakas, and smokes, cuz theyre all hits very far(smokes even fullscreen) and have only 1 hit so you cant break even if you have breaker.
I’d still have to say the best fatal blow is Johnny’s simply because of the nasty mixup potential it has. You can either release it right away, make it a parry that can even parry grabs and projectiles from a short distance, and you can even command dash out of that parry which basically forces a guessing game on your opponent with not much counterplay around it. Oh, and you can make it unblockable when the belt sparkles or you go through the whole dance.
I literally said all the same things to my son when I saw the trailer. My main koncern instantly was, I hope they don't fall out of the fatal blow if juggled beforehand like Erron.
I'm not usually one for rush down or high mobility characters but the big buttons and traps or delayed shuriken explosion things, whatever that was, are exactly what I'm looking for. As no one has fully clicked for me, I'm going all in on takeda day 1. Very excited now, have not played almost any mkx so I'm not familiar with him beyond this trailer and some matches I've seen. Let's doooooooooooo this.
I'm willing to bet that his b21 is replaced with a single b2 to remove the guessing game of is there one or two overheads before the low on block, which was a huge part of his meta in the Shirai Ryu variation.
Takeda looks sick! I'm excited to try him out. And I think that the change to cyrax is simply that hiting cyrax wont cancel the selfdestruct, instead he drops the bomb and that´s it.
Damn he’s so good and op I love it! Gonna constantly use him. Surprising that boon said no kombat kids are coming back yet we see him and the kombat kids fighting kitana in story mode lol 😂❤
He looks so good. Thanks for the upload. I'm thoroughly happy with everything about Takeda. I'm just waiting for how he plays into the story in this timeline. He at least knows Kenshi and has talked to him. But he called him Kenshi, and not dad. Also, does he have the same psychokinetic powers he got from Kenshi in the last timeline? Hmmm🤔
Frost new move is only going to be useful for kenshi. To get your best corner combos you need a kameo to pop up or keep them juggled and frost doesn’t do that. It might help kitana with her bomb set ups.
most of Takeda,s moves and normals are either identical or really similar to his MKX counter part which i actually really like cus that rarely happens unlike SF or Tekken and i love the fact that at least one move of every variation from MKX is back which makes him kinda complete and i have a feeling that one of the specials in the trailer has a 2 bar armoured launcher 👀 but it might function differently since these are nonexistent in MK1 or they might give some to other characters (Hopefully)
i do hope this game moves more and more towards setups and pressure. Ermac came with all sorts of buffs to the games characters and i remember thinking "man this games starting to remind me of mkx/9 with all the cancels and set ups" i think the future is bright for mk, mk11 improved after launch and i believe NRS can do it again and bring the hype back to mk!
I realized that Sektor glowed white when he did the double rocket, does that mean that the normal smart missle doesn't take up the entire Kameo meter? And will only take up the entire meter if he goes for the double?
I'm a takeda main, so no komplaints towards my guy. But I feel it's dumb he gets MKXish vibe while the rest of the characters are basically playing Injustice 3. I felt the same way about Jade and Terminator in MK11. All in all, they should apply it to at least a handful of characters, if not the whole roster.
I have a feeling the Sektor double homing missile will cost extra meter, if only because he has that white glow effect when launching the second missile that you normally see on meter burned attacks. But then again, Cyrax has the same glow when he’s hit and drops the bomb so who knows
@@Timeforceletsgo ah ok I didn’t realize that, makes sense then. Still curious about the white glow though, wonder if maybe double will still cost full meter but single will only cost half
Dude combos with him r going to be crazy lol I can already see where u can add combos lol can’t wait to see Wht players do lol we def need more classic characters. I love the guests but can’t beat the classics
somehow i dont think the low shuriken needs to be charged, i think it counts as a drop like ronin sword in mkx, ause multiple times takeda has dropped it and done a string involving 1 and 2 buttons, and if the shuriken was being charged it wouldve stopped once one of those buttons was pressed
@@dt_generalzod Ah, you do hold 1, whoops. Idk why I didn't think that, since every other delayed projectiles are also done by holding the button, not Block.
@@windebiesteultima3317 lmao you have no clue what you're talking about. Smoke sareena lol... If you use sareena for any character you're a beginner or just cba to practice, but beyond that let's explain it to ya. Gaps in every string, no mids, both main combo routes (f32 low overhead) and (B2 overhead {28 frame start up reactable lol} ) are up-blockable for full combo punish (the two moves that make his cancel pressure exist) which is also in your head because you can grab or poke after 1 cancel making his pressure 100% null against good opponents. (for example lui Kang can literally just do B2 to start a combo after I do a cancel instead of blocking and being scared) Invisibility is a gimmick that can be up-blocked or anti-air with a simple neutral 1 punch, both leading to full combo punish. His armor move is garbage, you get hit out of it 99% of the time with most moves. Costs hella meter to do damage with smoke. Tell me exactly what makes smoke strong after learning that sir? Smoke is s-tier against beginners, any opponent who isn't bad smoke is difficult to use. Ninjakilla himself said he doesn't understand how anyone COULD use smoke in high-level gameplay. Not a coincidence he was not played a single set at the most recent tournament. I annihilate people with smoke, because I do so many cancels they are scared into respecting it. But gaps, up blocks and no need to respect cancles leads to him being trash and unusable against some. People who complain about smoke are smooth-brained individuals lol.
@@windebiesteultima3317 tldr is basically against a good opponent (who doesn't know up block mechanic) you SCARE them into respecting you, via hella cancels. If they know how to upblock or duck or armor through gaps or know they can grab after a cancel you basically stand no chance. No character in the game has more built-in counters. Maybe I'll eat the words of that previous sentence if I get reminded of someone as disadvantaged as smoke
I was a sektor shoa main until switched to my girl sareena!screen! If the missile where a overhead bc it comes from sky I probably still be rocking sektor shoa! I have high hopes for this patch bc if doesn't hit I'm just maining bison from sf6! Sf6 just feels good but I'm a mk guy! Breaks my heart
6:00 Cyrax is just going to drop the bomb and it will have the same properties. Remember this is NRS making the game. Even just dropping the bomb is a hard task for them to pull off.
Haha, Lasher had the whip flurry, and Shirai Ryu and Ronin both had the fist flurry. I honestly think we could get away with him lacking that move. It was undoubtedly cool in MKX, but it was only a very small part of Takeda.
@@SyRose901 Felt like the most signature moves to me. I think you're thinking of a different move than the one I mean from Shirai Ryu. He might have had it in all variations. He did a whip pull and ended in a slow motion spinning face punch. Those two moves are the ones I saw (and used) the most.
Bringing back old MK characters over these so called non MK just enhances the game play more to become more creative. I hate the fact they are bringing in Conan and Ghostface. I just cant see any creativity coming out of these chaarcters. Prefer them to be Kameos insteaf

How many hits of armour do fatal blows have in this game?

Guys Reiko has the best fatal blow in the game, and it’s not full screen at all.
That benefits any character in any game unless the devs of that exception were smart enough to make sure everyone can punish them no matter what
I demand a match between Ketchup and Mustard running Takeda with Sektor and Cyrax kameo, asap!
With what we've Takeda so far I am half expecting his second fatality to be Maximum Spider.
Dude I swear I thought I was alone on that 😂
He looks absolutely amazing if you ask me. I'm hoping I have as much fun with him as I still do Ermac.
Mavado: I'm Spider-man.
Takeda: NO I'M SPIDER-MAN! With Batman's explosive Batarangs.
He’s more Omega Red than Spider-Man
Having them both be Spider-Mans together will be fun
@@iisanulquiorrahara8good god yes 😂❤
I’m surprised we don’t see laser weapons like in mk x
I wish Takeda still had his plasma swords, but he still looks amazing.
Bro the izuna drop into kick get up animation is just chefs kiss perfect 🙌🏾
Gotta love a good ole K&M breakdown 😎
This fatal blow has Erron in mk11 vibes to it, im super curious about the chip and the pushback, for sure all hits are high except the last one.
I literally said all the same things to my son when I saw the trailer. My main koncern instantly was, I hope they don't fall out of the fatal blow if juggled beforehand like Erron.
Then a few months later after the release, the MK1 fanbase will ask violently for him to be nerfed.. 😂
Wait for iiiiit😂
I feel like this character is kinda of a homage to MKX. So much love went into this character and I'm pumped for him to return to Mortal Kombat
Gonna be a lot to unpack next week with all these new kameo updates, patches, takeda AND ferra!
Takeda just looking sick.
I feel that Frost ice wall is just the same from the Sub zero fatality
Actually, I think it's from her grab.
@@saibot23724 actually looking better. Yeah
based on the clips, you can tell his gear is gonna be his whips.
Great breakdown
Seems like the shurikens are a held input, kinda like holding Cyrax bomb.
If they hit low you've got nasty set-up eith the overhead
That is how it worked in X, look up raptor hard to blockables if needed.

"Yesterday, we saw the saceda" trailer. "
People saying Spiderman but those in the know say Hazama
Geras is my main and frost is my main kameo. That ice wall os going to help so much
If I know anything about the FGC, that projectile move is going to be called "Low Kunai" forever.
I was waiting for your breakdown
Takeda with pre-patch Cyrax would be disgusting.
Takeda wasn't in MK11 because he was too busy going at the tanning salon.
Frost new move is only going to be useful for kenshi. To get your best corner combos you need a kameo to pop up or keep them juggled and frost doesn’t do that. It might help kitana with her bomb set ups.
Cyrax buff looks like it'd have amazing wiff punish capabilities, but I feel like that depends on if the bomb still damages you or not

Kenshi and frost just got stronger with the new ambush
Frost is goona wall and Johnny cage is goona be like captain cold charging his star power
They literally gave Takeda MvC Spider-Man's Webzip?!
i do hope this game moves more and more towards setups and pressure.

And Janet too. It seems that we'll be able to combo from the throw.

Make Cyrax playable.
Sektors uppercut seems to be jump cancelled or at least faster recovery. I could be wrong.
I really hope so. Been wanting to pair him with sub zero but the timing for the back 2 after an uppercut is super strict and doesn’t really work.
Impatient

It already cost his full kameo gauge originally, so it’s likely the same but now with the added buff of two missiles.
@@Timeforceletsgo ah ok I didn’t realize that, makes sense then. Still curious about the white glow though, wonder if maybe double will still cost full meter but single will only cost half
