*Additional Notes
- Input is K2 not K6. Had "A6" on the mind. Excuse my error.
- For A:6's timing, press the 6 the exact moment the A would connect with an opponent; it should feel like a smooth rhythm
- If you connect A:6/A6 (Shadow Shrine) on an opponent's side, you'll score a lethal hit
- 66B is a good move to fish for lethal hits
- 2A+B is a good move to cause guard gauge damage, ground Taki making her hard to punish, and can create space on block
- 4B is i12 (matching or beating out majority of the AA's in SCVI) and can cause chip damage on block making it a really good vertical strike
- A+B~A is one of the best ways to access this ridiculously fast i6 high strike
- WS~AAA can transition into possession stance and has a soul charge version
- Any attack that utilizes Taki's second ninja sword will have a purple tracing around the swing trajectory along with causing chip damage on block
- 2bA is a nice cancel into the "POS~A" i6 high strike
- If you roll to Taki's right (Distorted Breeze), you'll deal chip damage on block, rolling to Taki's left doesn't get the chip damage strike
- Ninja Cannon "Bomb attacks" (I.e. A+B) can be blocked standing or crouching
- Taki gets an extra attack on a Running~K inputted as WR (While Running)~K:K,B
- Taki's CE has strong invincibility frames allowing it to "go through" attacks making it a useful powerful whiff punisher.
For Directional Notation
