VF5FS Natural Combos vs Taka

In VF5FS, Taka has a unique property when in comes to getting hit. Attacks that normally knock down the other characters don't always knock Taka down in the same way, if at all! Additionally, certain attack strings will behave as a Natural Combo when performed against Taka where they ordinarily wouldn't against the others.

Before we begin, a quick definition:

Natural Combo (noun): a sequence of attacks which are all guaranteed to hit provided the first attack hits. That is, after the first attack hits, the remaining attacks cannot be guarded.

This page lists all Natural Combos versus Taka that are not Natural Combos against the remaining cast. Special conditions required for the combo such as a Recovery Counter Hit (RCH) will be listed with the input, otherwise the input works on Normal Hit.

This is bare bones at the moment, but if you have any additions / corrections please reply and let me know!

 

The latter is just an extension of the former, right? That is, (side) 6P+K guarantees another 6P+K versus everyone, so that's not unique to Taka.

Already listed as PPP4K, but I'll add both notations.

 

I agree that non-natural Taka only combos can be listed in the Combo sections. If you have some to share, post them up in the appropriate character specific combo thread and if one doesn't exist, just create one.

 

I'm pretty sure Akira's is a NC on Recovery Hit (RH). Is someone able to quickly test? Otherwise I'll confirm tonight.

 

Great idea! Once the wiki page matures (enough) I'll get around to updating the Command Lists with a note using the following syntax:

"Natural Combo vs Taka [on Recovery|Counter Hit]"
