Taka tips against speed/aggression?

" is great because you can go into Tachiai, but you have to be careful because experienced players will low punch you out of it before you can get anything to come out. Against those players, the best thing to do is backdash or sidestep WITHOUT going into Tachiai and do a low throw. (See 5th round of my match against this Sarah player)" - Reno

I guess something to armor the

"interrupt stuff depending on your frames."
What is the best Taka move to interrupt aggression?
"If your frame advantage is lost online due to lag... then don't play online?"
Sadly, online play is the only thing available to me. Anyways, the reason I say Taka is slow is that he seems to lose more of his frame advantage in online play compared to other characters (Taka's half circle back should be +15 but it doesn't look like it online.) So because of the realities of online play, I feel Taka loses most of his advantage and the usability of some of his moves. Just try using 8 as part of a mixup, its not gonna work online, esp. against aggressors. This might be a reason why there's not a lot of Taka players online. I've seen vids of Taka being played offline with move sets/mixups that are very effective but when I try those sets online they where useless due to the seeming frame disadvantage of Taka online. PPP is the only Taka move that seems to not lose out due to frames online. I know 2p kills it but aggressive players dont 2p, they attack standing up. The only player I know that is aggressive and uses 2p as part of that aggression is Hoyati a Sarah player on PSN.

Unfortunately the problems you're having have only one solution. Practice. Online isn't the best environment for consistency, but with enough practice you'll learn the timing to buffer attacks.

Taka's is probably the best confirmable launcher going, especially online, as it's so easy to hitcheck. between that and Taka's Elbow you shouldn't really have problems stopping abare. try to use MIDs from advantage. PPP isn't the best use of your advantage if you never give the opponent a reason to block standing.

66p is great too, if your outside of 6p range.

i use this a lot, especially online because it's easy to space and input. the free ringouts it gives are a nice welcome too.
