Ronove Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Riku, can you link me the posts is the japanese BBS, I can have a look at them and tell you if there's more info stuff we're missing on Tao's j.8D
KM Riku Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Not sure what are all the posts, but they are all pretty much on the last page (part 16). Some that I'm kinda sure: http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi/game/45148/1288378865/923 http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi/game/45148/1288378865/935 http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi/game/45148/1288378865/928 http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi/game/45148/1288378865/930 Also there's this one that's new and it's pretty big...but I have no idea what it says: http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi/game/45148/1288378865/951
Mystic d Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I thought that drive cancelling cost a jump? Does this mean we can B or C cancel more than 3 times in the air as well?
KM Riku Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I thought that drive cancelling cost a jump? Does this mean we can B or C cancel more than 3 times in the air as well? It's more like jump->j.8D~A->land->jump->j.8D~A->land->etc
Mystic d Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Also there's this one that's new and it's pretty big...but I have no idea what it says: http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi/game/45148/1288378865/951 This is talking about Platinum and her different weapons (drives?)
Stan McJeeves Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Now I REALLY want to see a video of Tao. This stuff combo'd with AB2 enders could be incredibly deadly. I can definitely see Tao as one of the stronger characters in the game if these gimmicks can be used in many situations.
XDest Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 So, Taokaka ends up with around the same average damage, yet only loses j.D range and 6C by itself, but gains 5B and 5C levels and 5C air unblockable? Awesome.

Besides the infos posted in the previous page there's an other interesting one saying that you can get 5 reps with j.8D~A with the 5B > 6A(2) route when done at the corner (it's 3 reps when done midscreen). Honestly I'm kind of surprised ArcSys overlooked this. As Taokakaism pointed out this stuff existed in CS1 as well but never got used simply because the taunt loop was a better option. Likely they never bothered to research into it seeing that none of the players at tournaments would use j.8D~A combos. They will most likely remove it, considering that now even the coin-op can be easily patched via online system, and considering ArcSys' stand when it comes to same move loops.

XDest Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 Here, you can use this to test the up drive loop in CS1. 6C->66->Taunt Loopx2->214D->j.2D~B->5C->JC->j.8D~A->land->JC->j.8D~A->land->JC->j.8D~5->6D~6->j.C->..->9D~9->..->3D~3->j.236B->3D~3->j.236B->3D~3->j.236Bx5 LOOPS EVERYWHERE
Ronove Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Haha yeah, the best thing about it is that people can practice this on CS1 as well and will hardly have to adapt at all in CS2.
XDest Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 (CS1 8D Loop testing) 5B->3C->5D~B->5C->(JC->j8D~A->land)x2->JC->j.8D~6->j.D~C->j.C->..->9D~9->3D~3->j.236Bx5 [3554]
Lord Knight Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 So much for this character having no damage huh
XDest Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 Well, we had no idea that j.8D wouldn't have same move proration, or that 3C would be special cancelable.
KM Riku Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Or that j.C->5B->3C->etc in CS2 does more damage than in CS1 even with taunt loop :3 There's a new Tao video, but the player is pretty bad. However, 5B air unblockable is delicious. Also did they increase 5C range a little?

GenoWhirl Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 What is the fucking point to giving dancing edge same-move proration, then not giving it to a move so they spam it like it's the Taunt Loop? Fuck damn it arcsys
Stan McJeeves Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 What is the fucking point to giving dancing edge same-move proration, then not giving it to a move so they spam it like it's the Taunt Loop? Fuck damn it arcsys I was about to ask the same thing. Either way, at least Tao has some super damaging midscreen combos now.
GKHiryu Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Well they did the same thing with Testament in GG. He lost Grave Digger loop only to be given Bad Lands loop. But in all honesty, I don't mind having a loop with 3-6 reps. 10 reps is stupid. About new Tao: Do we have any info on useful, new AB2 combos?
KM Riku Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) About AB2 combos, we still can do the classic anything->3C->AB2->6C->6c route. However, it seems that the AB2 finisher is much easier know and that you don't need to JC between the Cat2s About the loop...yeah, this one at least is kinda short in most of starters. EDIT: The new videos have a Tao doing the j.8D~A loop...even though that Tao is horrible EDIT 2: Taokaka's 6C is air unblockable lol Edited December 19, 2010 by KM Riku
Itzwiitard Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Tao sounds awesome now, combos are lookin good, damage not to bad pressure seems better with the new jb, gameplay should be the same except drive spam which was never good, well hopefully patch will be realised soon
Itzwiitard Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Sorry for doubt post people, i have been in training mode best part of the day n came up with this, not sure if it would work in cs2 jus an idea for midscreen / corner, 5b - 3c - 5d'6 - jc - j8d'a. Land, j8d'a. Land, 2d'6 - j8d6 - j5d'c - jc - j8d'6 - j3d'3 - cs2, that does 3700, jus put cs1 after 3c could work, reason for 2d is get the extra attack in there air, still works n should not be affected by same drive proration
Stan McJeeves Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 We finally got an awesome Tao video. Not only does it have the new loop, but it also features an AB2 ender. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04GU-EPGaDY

No furry :3 After all, looks like they buffed Tao midscreen damage in general even without the loop since j.C and j.B are one of the easier normals to hit midscreen.

Not only does it have the new loop, but it also features an AB2 ender. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04GU-EPGaDY That's just delightful. Tao haters coming out already, too. I like how you don't have to 214d after a back throw to hit 5b, the back throw pose is so trolltastic. You stole my comment on that video, Riku. I wanted to give the bad news, but YouTube ate my comment. I'm still curious to see if we can get something stupid off a mid-combo FC. 3c -> RC -> 2[c] is supposed to work (corner only?), but I wonder if you can get it off anything else. Maybe 6c -> RC in the corner, or air/back throw RC (but proration would suck), or maybe off gold burst (timing would probably be tricky for that, though).
