[CS2] Taokaka Combo and BnB thread.

[Stan McJeeves]

who can give a solution to jin's body it is so thin and the combos hard to do ... not like bang or hako ... if there is something make the combos 100% work it will be nice

What I usually do against characters like Jin is delay the 9D~9 in the combo. When you get to the 9D~9 -> 3D~3 -> 236B x5 part in your combo, just be sure to add a bit more delay before you do the 9D~9. That way, you'll be lower when you get to the cat2, and you should be able to finish the combo.

Also, I have updated the original post. Please notify me if I made any mistakes, as I'm pretty darn tired at the time of writing this.

[KM Riku]

Just some sugestions, I think it should be better to put all the j.8D~A combos first since they are the most important part and put all stuff that isn't so important in the end (like AH/8k combos). Also I think there's no need to put the notes about each combo in (don't remember how do you say it in english lol), I think it's better without it. For last, I think the AB2 season should be a little more organized in setups (like I did in my last post), you don't repeat so much stuff.

Of course, you don't need to do what I sugested, after all you are the one responsible for the thread organization and you should do what you think it's better.

[Stan McJeeves]

Combos have been sorted, and the AB2 combos have been organized by starters, so they should be easier to read. Thanks for the input, Riku. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to post them (same goes for anyone else).

LOL wrong thread this is what I get for staying up late.

For the corner oki ender, do you have to drop reps in the loop, or change timings to get it?

I can do the typical ender in the corner with 4 reps, but, whenever I go for high jump cat 2 they can tech.. In fact, I couldn't get it off 3 reps either.

[KM Riku]

I...don't really know. I never see any player doing it...I think purple throw resets are better and more pratical to do :V

[bbq sauce]

I know BB oki is... not great.. but, I figure low cat2 knockdown near corner could give you a lotta room to run shenanigans.

[KM Riku]

Well...I don't think that the oki version is that good...too much risk of dropping it for a oki like that.

Anyway, the 6B+C AB2 setup is annoying. I don't know if it's because I'm not used to the stick, but doing j.4D~A->AB2->5B is kinda hard since you have little time to use AB2. But after that, it's pretty easy.

[Ronove]

The only real form of oki I've seen out of the "oki combos" that Tao has in CS2 is somewhat of a left/right mixup, but it doesn't look like there's really enough time do anything else other than switching sides. Besides, if Tao manages to bring the opponent to the corner she can usually deal her best damage there (either from AB2 or from 5B>3C route corner combos), so it's no wonder that in the end even japanese players prefer to squeeze as much damage as they can when they can go into corner setups rather than trying to go for a weak oki...

Do I have to learn the j.8D~A Loop to combo proficiently with Tao? My online connection isn't the best and I know for sure I wouldn't be able to pull it off but like 40% of the time... T_T

Without the loop, your damage will be greatly reduced (~1500 off of 6A instead of ~3300). I'd suggest trying to learn it.

[RinHara5aki]

I second it, it's pretty important. Again, you can do a very easy version, of literally just holding 9 or 8, and timing d then a. Do it three times (If you dashed the first hitconfirm), end it with 2d~c after, and voila, dashless, easy as cake online loop. Or easy as pie. Wait how does that go?

yes u have to learn it + my connection isn't good enough too but i can do it 80 % .. it's easier than taunt loop combo

....about the mistakes i'll tell ya dude and thanx 4 jin body's direction :3

[Domethieus]

Gold burst -> Astral works when near corner~

[iSadClown]

Hold on, is j.3D into Cat 2 harder to hit or is it me? I feel like it comes out here and there and I can never get it to finish vs jin...

[KM Riku]

It's the same thing, you just need to delay the last j.9D after the j.C. How much you need to delay depends on what character you are doing it, usually you need to delay it more against Jin and Hazama

Ok thanks Also, would it be acceptable if I changed the ending of my BnB sacrificing 100 damage for more simplicity? Right now my BnB is

5B 6A(2) j.8D~A x (2 if don't feel like dashing, 3 if lucky, 5 if dashing) 2D~5 j.5D~6 j.C j.8D~6 j.C j.8D~6 j.3D~6 j.236B x5 with five reps it does 3411

[KM Riku]

If you can the loop already, I don't see how doing the complete finisher would be hard at all. However, if it's easier for you not to drop and the damage difference isn't bad, then I think it's fine.

Edit: fixing a AB2 combo that I wrote wrong:

... -> j.D~B -> 5C -> 236C x1 -> 6C -> 6C -> 8HJC -> 236B x5 -> 8JC -> 236B x5 -> 8JC -> 236B x5 *Rag/Carl/Bang/Lit/Tao/Haz/Noel specific

This combo is supposed to use 236C x1 two times, not only one. So the correct version would be:

... -> j.D~B -> 5C -> 236C x1 -> 236C x1 -> 6C -> 6C -> 8HJC -> 236B x5 -> 8JC -> 236B x5 -> 8JC -> 236B x5 *Rag/Carl/Bang/Lit/Tao/Haz/Noel specific

Also, other AB2 setup:

Coner:

Gold Burst->AB2->...->5C->236C->236C->6C->etc [~4000]

Stan McJeeves, for the 3C corner routes add these two to the first post:

5B -> 3C -> dash 5B -> 5C -> j.8D~A loop (x5)

5B -> 3C -> 236C(1) -> 5B -> 5C -> j.8D~A loop (x4)

Edited May 31, 2011 by Ronove

[XDest]

I noticed that 236CC->5D~A doesn't work on some characters (like Tager?), I guess those are the substitutes.

[Ronove]

Yep, they work perfectly fine on characters on whom you can't normally go for 236CC > 5D~A

[Stan McJeeves]

AB2 combo fixed and corner starters added. Thanks for the updates, Riku and Ronove. I'll add the damage amounts after I test them later (or anyone who wants to test them can post the damage amounts).

[KM Riku]

*stay busy all day

*return home

*go to PS3 to play some Blazblue

*nobody online

*go to training mode to test impractical shit

2[C] FC->6[C]->2[C] FC->5D~B->5C->j.8D~A [6x]->2D~C->Gold Burst (2x)->AB2->5C->236C->236C->6C->7JC->Cat2->8JC->Cat2->8JC->Cat2 [7811]

Good combo video material :33

[Domethieus]

lmfao. I got a Tao midscreen combo that carries to corner. I checked the list and its not there so here it is:

5B -> 3C -> 236A -> 5D~6 -> Jump C -> 5D~6 -> Jump C -> 9D~9 -> 2D~C -> Jump C -> 9D~9 -> 2D~3 -> 236Bx5 - 3436

Edit: I think I might've typed it wrong but its close lol

-----

5B -> 3C -> 236A -> 5D~C -> 5D~B -> 5C J8D~Ax2(3) -> J8D~9 -> 5D~6 -> Jump C -> J8A~6 -> 2D~6 -> 236x2(last few hits will miss) - 2982 <- you can probably tech chase with this and get a green grab reset after 236B hits and assuming if you do stop it on time to dash. Someone do more testing lol
