Errol Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Tao's mix-up isn't really scary. She has nice left right stuff, but I mean when you lose to Tao you're just dying in Neutral more so than getting mixed-up. Honestly when I play Hazama I feel most comfortable when Tao is pressuring me because if I can call something out I get damage instead of getting hit all day in neutral. What do you call out with. Flash kick? jab into houtenjin? houtenjin?
toanenadiz Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 GGs XDest and Chrono. I feel like I am so close to understanding the Tao vs Lambda match-up.
Errol Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 GGs XDest and Chrono. I feel like I am so close to understanding the Tao vs Lambda match-up. do you mean the lambda vs tao matchup?
Errol Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Is there a difference? One is lambda vs tao One is tao vs lambda Playing as lambda vs playing as tao.
Sezuki Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 > blocking > tao i think i found your problem yeah i dont know how to handle tao, as well as not knowing how to approach tager with his yomi-colider... GGs XDest and Chrono. I feel like I am so close to understanding the Tao vs Lambda match-up. i noticed while playing your tager that your blocking was so perfected that my only option was to stop pressure and empty jump 2b Tao's mix-up isn't really scary. She has nice left right stuff, but I mean when you lose to Tao you're just dying in Neutral more so than getting mixed-up. Honestly when I play Hazama I feel most comfortable when Tao is pressuring me because if I can call something out I get damage instead of getting hit all day in neutral. @Lich yeah, i don't get many tao matchups so her mix up was mind blowing to me, especially since it limited my jump outs..
Lich Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Normally anti-airs or 2A, but I only like that position when I'm blocking with meter. lol In which case I'm normally IBing everything so I get it pretty fast. So if you think about it this way all with meter, 2C goes into 6k midscreen, 5A can go into 5K midscreen, 2A can go into 4K, Gashou can go into 5K midscreen, and I've even called out her overhead before with 5C which is like death. I never try to mash out with Houtenjin really because it's super, super risky. You need that meter for the damage so if they call it out you're kinda fucked. Tao only has 9.5k health and often if she's pressuring you, you're in the corner and damage only goes up with Hazama's back to the corner. Either way the match-up is really hard for Hazama.
Errol Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 I didn't figure you would use houtenjin for those reasons. I wondered because I find trying to mash anti-airs against tao very fruitless. Which leaves 5a/2a (for me). Taokaka is annoying.
Mucky Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 just give me a minute to see if i can get his bnbs down for once in my life edit: nope. FUCK IT

Mucky Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 this is what happens when you play a character who lacks a dp
Errol Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 this is what happens when you play a character who lacks a dp i've never seen most of these rachel colors before
Mucky Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 this is what happens when you play with colors you've never seen before
Errol Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 that color was really bad I just wanted the match to end
Errol Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 i was distracted by the game and didn't get to see the color, shit
