Matchup threads for Tao, yayz. Will do my best to contribute as much as i can even though im not that skilled a player so if you find anything wrong or missleading dont be afraid to say so.

Use your drive to gets past her D moves. Use Tao's drive wisely and try not to use the same pattern while approaching her since Lambda will almost always have to predict to be able to catch you with her Drive.

A whiffed drive from Lambda often results in a a punish or pressure. When i do get in i try to keep the pressure on as much as i can since Lambchops lack deffensive options. If lambda gets to backdash friendly punish with 6C. Bait antiair like in any other matchup and punish.

In my experince a well spaced 5C beats alot of lambdas normals and allow you to keep on pressuring. Tao out manouver Lambda hard and can keep herself outside of the range of lambdas drive and normals.

When i do get hit it often results in knockdown and pressure with lambdas 236D. I have found out a slightly delayed tech can get you outside of the range of 236D, but dont delay it to long since that will lead to alot of damage D: Jump over 214D and drive to safety.

if the opponent have a habbit of fully charging 214D often, punish with a unexpected drive or use Tao's leaping command throw if you have heat.

I usually win this matchup if im able to stay on top of the lambda and mix up my approach and offense. Dont be afraid to counter assult since you dont rly need the meter for damage and it is rly important that you have the offensive advantage and not Lambda.

Spike Chaser -> Going for the Tuna always works. Note you have to do it during startup frames of Spike Chaser.

Whiffed swords means that you can get in any way you like. Lambda has to predict you to use her swords well. If she can do that, your in lockdown for a bit.

Lambda's D will beat your Drive so careful on when to use the Drive.
