Smashly Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Goodness gracious, Tao mirror matches fill my heart with joy. Maybe one day I'll have a replay that I feel is worthy of posting online, haha.
lurch_E_bean Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I have a bunch of slightly older videos to post later (even one with PlasticChicken), but I had a match tonight that just had to go up ASAP. It's a pretty decent Ragna, and it came down to a pretty epic ending in Round 3. He didn't realize I had a trick up my sleeve... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyGBczPKlmk vs. Ragna

TaoFTW Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Thread updated for minor justice. There's still some matches that haven't been inputted.
Ronove Posted November 20, 2009 Author Posted November 20, 2009 Tomorrow I should be updating the first post with all the vids you guys posted (sorry for the long delay!), and hopefully with all the new CS footage that has started to come in!

Yeah, there was only like one new cs vid with tao that I saw... Getting her ass handed by Tsubaki .. If you found more that would be aweshome :3 btw, remember to take a look at PhaethonH's YouTube, taoftw beasted top tier players there, including a much needed ass-kicking of Goryus! :3

XDest Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Taken from the video posting thread: http://gamenyarth.blog67.fc2.com/blog-entry-4926.html?id=sm8931813 Keita vs. R-1 THE DIFFERENCE IS QUITE CLEAR. ... I can get used to seeing that many taunts in a match.
Ronove Posted November 29, 2009 Author Posted November 29, 2009 I suppose it's due the changes to her j.2D~B? If I am not wrong they did make it faster (even on recovery). Anyway, since it's basically a repetition of the same string, if one already has the timing for the 214D > j.2D~B down then no matter how many repetitions there are the combo should be easy to perform. Could we rename it as ... taunt loop?
OMG its a duck Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 (Taunt > 214D > j.2D~B) = Taunt Loop? So a combo would look like 5B > 6A(1) > JC > j.2D~B > Taunt Loop x 5 > Taunt > 236CC > 2D~6 > j.C > 8D~6 > j.C > JC > j.236BBBBB? As opposed to (214D > j.2D~B > Taunt) or (j.2D~B > Taunt > 214D). /semantics
Pirateyoshi Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Yeah, that would be a fairly obvious way to handle things. I think I saw Keita finally pull off a 2D AA combo, let me look for the video, and I will post the stuffs.
lurch_E_bean Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Here's a big ol' video dump. Some old stuff I didn't post before, a few recent matches, and a bunch of Tao mirrors with a few fellow Dustloopers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qfdH8ag_pI vs. Litchi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvm_M66EnGo vs. Nu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C-UHcncg8M vs. Ragna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvFMYUsqni0 vs. Arakune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-bZxv2hOb0 vs. Bang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS-4oHZc0NQ vs. Jin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g9UzSemJB0 vs. Arakune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTGILMznstA vs. Haku-men http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vvExEClaqk vs. Jin Litchi and Ragna videos have some amusing Sticky Kitty shenanigans, and the last three have some quality combos in them (finally beat Score Attack before those, so I had a good warm-up). Here's the Tao mirrors featuring myself against LaReece, Plastic Chicken, and k2wax. Everyone loves a good Tao mirror. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAnH4sQKozY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPU3h2qiUWM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv4lUBHMCFA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxtqWCAX6p4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmoju5jfvbQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn-H61fPVzQ
PlasticChicken Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Ah how embarrassing, you can tell it was lagging a lot because we were dropping combos more than half the time. 10/27 wow that was pretty old o.o
Ronove Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 lurch_E_bean, I haven't watched all of the vids (just the Jin ones and the mirror, I promise to watch the rest when I have some spare time today), but one thing you need to fix is to: - throw less hitconfirmed 6C, or if your 6C gets blocked follow up with a 236a or a 2D and don't go for a 236CC. It's too risky, especially against Jin since he's amazingly good at punishing whiffs and holes in your pressure. You may use it once in a while from max distance but I'd just rather avoid that unless you've already played some mind games on your opponent and you know he's going to barrier low. (or if you notice that the opponent is using barrier the whole time) - don't use 3C in blockstrings. This is a bad habit that lot of Taos have (I am trying to remove this as well from my pressure game). I know it's not easy to hitconfirm online due to the lag and the fact that Tao's normals don't have a lasting blockstun, but try to make an effort and only use 5b/2b/2a and 6b/throw/2d as part of your mixup, and occasionally use 5b/2b > 5C > 236aa as well. Don't use 3C unless you're sure to hitconfirm it for two simple reasons: it can be easily insta-blocked, and canceling it with a drive won't always save you if your opponent has a good and quick reversal tool. If you want to train your hitconfirming, besides practicing with people offline (possibly) go to training mode and set the dummy to block/barrier randomly. Start with 5b/2a and if he's blocking keep following with blockstrings, if he's not once you hitconfirm you follow with a 3c/6a/5c combo (or if you set counterhit status with a 6c so that you can improve at hitconfirming 6c's as well). It's a good method to train your reflexes to react and switch from blockstring to combos by maximizing your hitconfirm rate and decreasing the chances of you throwing some risky normal. As for the rest, I really liked those j.C > 236BB > j.2D~B > Taunt combos. I personally never follow up with a taunt after that string (5C is easier to hitconfirm) but good job for being risky and being rewarded for it.

Pirateyoshi Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 What in baby jesus is that loop? link 5B (counter) -> 3C -> [5D~6 -> jC]x2 -> 5D -> jC (max range) -> 5D~C -> 5D~A -> 8D~6 -> jC -> 8D~6 -> j236BB -> j236BBBB for 4013 damage? Hot damn.

Hot damn. That was a cool combo, but it should be posted in the Combo and BnB section.
