Seems like it's impossible to connect 5C CT or 2C CT on Tao, regardless of running, counter-hit, or corner.

If they do a 214D (cat jump) over you at close range midscreen, it can cause flashkick to whiff as it crosses over you, but if you anticipate it and react, you can hit them with a counter-hit 5A. CH 5A 6C leads to at least 3k damage. However, they can barrier block, so CH 5A isn't guaranteed if you see the start-up of cat jump.

She can crouch under your grab, and your command grab. (May need further testing on the command grab, but I'm like 80% sure.)

Flash Kick. All. Day. That's your best option. Anytime Tao is doing a drive move... FLASH KICK. Anytime Tao is doing a cross up.... FLASH KICK. Just try not to get baited and she can't keep pressure on you due to it.
