2C Punish options against reversals.

Not optimal. Keep trying and get back to me when you break 6.9K

2C(Charged)(Nonfatal)>6C(Charged)>Crush Trigger>236CC>j.2D~B>5[C]>6C>4D~A>6C>5D~6>j.4D~C>j.236236C

Gives you about 6.5K IIRC, same as the fatal version. I didn't squeeze all I could out of the fatal.

lol I was trying to show 6666 damage! The power of Ragna surges through me! I'm actually really sad right now because I can't remember the combo I did for 3333.

Trying to pick up Tao and it's hard to read some combos here. What does X > ... > X mean? I can't guess what the dots mean

It's the notation I'm using for delays in the middle of a combo. Without the delay the combo will definitely drop, and I'm trying to be explicit about those.

Thought I put it in the opening post. It's there now.

[MikeySupreme]

i guess you can do ...6C > 214d > j.db > 5c > j.2Dc >...> j.da >6C... also.

maybe it's easier on some characters?

[MashThat5A]

About Rachel stuf, for C starters we can use 236D>j.D~B combos, but for B starters I have 5B>2C>5[C]>6C>236D>jD~C>j.2D~A>236AAA>5D~A>6C>236CB for a little over 3K. Anyone find anything better>

So is there some sort of list somewhere to help new players into her combos? The one on the front page of the thread is...well, lacking. Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me here.

EDIT: So the first post is actually pretty helpful for this exact purpose, upon further review. Anything more comprehensive would be sweet, though I realize the game is still pretty new.

The first post is lacking since I'm letting people discuss exactly what the optimal routes are first.

I'm updating it bit by bit. It'll eventually be pretty comprehensive.

ok when j.2d~c doesnt whiff, it feels easier than doing j.5d~c.

someone else try and see if it's more consistent for you or it could just be me being bad. The only character i immediately found that j.2d~c whiffed on was azrael.

While the main post gets updated you can have a loot at the japanese wiki, it's a good starting point to learn her basic BnBs for all different starters and screen position (midscreen, corner, antiair): http://www27.atwiki.jp/taokakawiki/pages/162.html

Okay, so this is what I have on combo theory. Tao's combos primarily end in one of two ways: 5D~A and Encore.

The best 5D~A enders are SMP enders that make them slide on the ground. The only way to hit this universally is 5D~6 > j.4D~A > taunt > 236C > 5D~A. Fatter characters can be hit by 236C > 5D lower to the ground.

The most damaging way to go into encore is to do 236CC > 5D~A > 236CB.

Examples:

j.B>j.C>2C>5[C]>6C>214D>j.D~B>5C>j.2D~C>j.D~A>6C>4D6~B>6C>5D~6>j.4D~A>taunt>236C~5D~A [3.2K]

j.B>j.C>2C>5[C]>6C>214D>j.D~B>5C>j.2D~C>j.D~A>6C>4D6~B>236CC>5D~A>236CB [3.4k]

POR QUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MashThat5A]

How are you doing it then? 236CC>5D(SMP) techs in the air and the non smp ender techs so late

[Pegs001]

This feels weird. I'm actually going to put a button for taunt on my settings.

Ending in corner:

CH 6C 214D j.D~B 5C j.D~B 5C j.236B j.D~A j.4D 6C 4D6~B 6C 236CC 5D~A

4209

CH 6C 214D j.D~B 5C j.236B j.D j.4D~B 5C j.236B j.D~A j.4D~A 6C 4D6~B 6C 236CC~D

4301 + 100% corner carry (yes, you can have your back to the wall and finish the combo on the opposite wall)

Corner

CH 2C 6C 236CC jc.7 j.2D~B 5C 236B j.D~A j.4D~A 6C 4D6~B 6C 236AAA 5D~A

4359

Corner

FC 6B 2C 5[C] j.236B j.D j.4D 6C 4D6~B 6C 236CC 5D~A

2871

CH 6C 236CC j.D~B 5C 236B j.D~A j.4D~A 6C 236AAA 5D~A

4328

Few examples of j.236B j.D~A j.4D~A route. Midscreen you can always get j.4D~A 66 5C, not sure if character specific.

Guys any suggestions for a combo after the cross up sticky kitty ?

I usually go for sticky kitty >j.5a>5b>3c(2hits)>2~6d~b>5b>2c>5c but when I try to 6c to get the cat encore oki it drops . Gotta add a dash or it doesn't work ?

I feel this combo is stupid .. anyone ?

Slightly optimized, ~150 more:

2[C] 6[C] 6C CT 2[C] 5[C] j.236B j.D~A j.4D~A 6C 4D6~B 6C 236CC 2D~C j.236236D

6833

Starting to think that the more j.236B j.D~A j.4D~A you get in a combo the more damage it will do :>.

The 236CC j.D~C j.2D~A route seems to be best from mid starters such as j.b, 5B, maybe 2B?

5B and 2B are short starters. j.B is a normal starter. I think I like 214D -> j.D~B -> 5C -> JC -> j.D~C -> .. -> j.2D~A -> 6C more than 236CC into that route, since it can be done a bit further from the corner. 236C pretty much requires you to be in the corner.

It really looks like this j.236B j.D~A j.4D~A route is the most optimal in a lot of situations. Is it character specific?

Thanks for that information. As far as I know it's not character specific but with that said I haven't tried it on the whole cast yet. It's definately easier on big floaty characters at least. It's possible that you have to change jump directions and do [...] j.4D~A 66 5C on some and [...] j.4D~B 5C on some

It's also interesting to note that you can do CH 6C 66 236CC (hits OTG) midscreen but I haven't found any application for this yet. It might be big chars only.

It also does more damage than 236CC into that route, at least, depending on the ender

Also:

So which are the characters where 4D6~B works, but you need to B cancel a lot later? This affects combos that have been going on for a while since it might not have the untechable time for it.

I think Hazama and Tsubaki fall into this category.

Jin seems to be weird with timing 214D j.D~B.

[XDest]

It looks like you don't have enough time off j.C or j.B air-to-ground to do the j.236B -> .. -> j.D~A -> j.4D~A route. Looks like a j.D~C -> j.2D~A route is the optimal one for those still.

CH 6A(2) -> JC -> j.D~B -> 5C -> JC -> j.236B -> .. -> j.D~A -> j.4D~A -> 66 -> 5C -> JC -> j.236B -> .. -> j.D~A -> j.4D~A -> 6C -> 4D6~B -> 6C -> 236CC -> 5D~A [3140]

What else can you loop this route with?
