• cr.A/B/C are cancellable

Jumping

Throws

Wide Slicer - (b/f + C)

• grants hard knockdown

Single Heave-ho -( b/f + D)

• grants hard knockdown

Command Moves

Demon's Vehicle - (f + A)

• EX Takuma swings out his fist straight in front of himself, hitting it raw will grant a hard knockdown.
• Can combo into it from close and crouching normals during which on hit it becomes cancellable.
• With link timing you can do cl.A, cl.A>>f+B and still retain the hard knockdown property of the move.
• If you hit an aired opponent with the move it will slam them into a hard knockdown as well.

Vehicle Drop - (b + A)

• EX Takuma sends out a chop in front of himself, hits mid.
• Can combo into it, but only connects from lights.
• Pushes him a little bit from the opponent which can make it a good spacing tool for certain pressure strings.

Bottle Breaker - (f + B)

• Same as normal Takuma's, he throws out an elbow.
• Raw it hits overhead and you can combo straight into fireball super.

Horse Strike - (df + B)

• EX Takuma punches straight toward the feet of his opponent, hits low and causes hard knockdown.
• Great for mixing in with a string to a standing opponent, but is atrociously unsafe on block.

Overall his command normals give him a lot of different angles to attack and pressure from.

Special Moves

Tiger Flame Punch - (qcf + A/C)

• ExTakuma's fireball move, a classic 2D spacing technique.
• C version travels faster.
• Both versions can be comboed into as combo finishers/pressure tools.

Tiger Boulder Blast - (qcb + A/C)

• EXTakuma thows out a parry then follows up with a heavy punch.
• The first part of the attack will absorb a single hit then he will continue the attack.
• Against predictable opponents could be used to counter meatys, but is very unsafe on block if overused.
• Causes soft knockdown.
• With correct timing you can use the parry animation to destroy fireballs.
• Hits mid.
• Super cancellable, but the follow up super won't connect depending on the spacing.

Zan Retsu Ken - (f, b, f + A/C)

• ExTakuma punches furiously, creating a wall of fist, when it connects it will suck the opponent in and launch them after 13 hits causing a soft knockdown.
• Can be comboed from a cl.C.
• On block the move will push EXTakuma back and the opponent will recover before the move even finishes making it very unsafe as a raw pressure tool.
• Htis mid.

Shouran Kyaku - (hcb + B/D)

• EXTakuma runs, grabbing the opponent and kicking them several times.
• Counts as an unblockable command throw.
• Causes hard knockdown.
• Cannot be comboed into.
• B version has slightly faster startup and goes only half screen. Grabs mid.
• D version will connect full screen from the run animation into the throw.

Lightning Legs Knockout Kick - (charge db~f + B/D)

• EXTakuma flies forward connecting with a kick.
• B version hits once and is about -1 on block.
• D version hits twice and launches the opponent into the air where you can land a juggle hit including his fireball supers.
• D version is about +1 on block.
• Both versions cause soft knockdown.
• Hits mid.

Desperation Moves

Haoh Shi Koh Ken - (f, hcf + A/C:)

• great fireball super.
• A version is slower, both versions cause soft knockdown.
• Good punisher/combo ender.

Ryuko Ranbu - (qcf, hcb + A/C)

• EXTakuma dashes forward hitting the opponent with multiple attacks ending in a fireball.
• Unlike normal Takuma's it causes soft knockdown.
• Can be comboed into.
• Much like his run grab, A version goes a smaller distance in the screen to connect than the C version.

Neo Demon-God Attack - (close, qcf x 2 + A/C)

• although it has the animation of his parry move this is actually an unblockable throw super without parry properties.
• It will connect at about the same range as his s.C normal.
• Causes soft knockdown.

Super Desperation Moves

Ryuko Ranbu - (qcf, hcb + AC)

• harder hitting version of EXTakuma's ranbu super does an addition hit and three fire balls at the end.
• Causes soft knockdown.
• Will go through fireballs for only the very first part of the animation.

HSDM

Lion Killer - (f, hcf + AC)

• EXTakuma's gi bursts open flexing all his muscles as he summons the destructive power of the tiger: a massively damaging full screen fireball the causes a soft knockdown.
