I don't know how to deal effectively with her. If someone could help me with this matchup I'd appreciate it =D.

Tao can move very fast, the best way i deal with her is the same way i try to deal with valk, keep them out of the air.

Staff throw is useful as it forces them to either move or stay on the ground and you can get in easier if they come to you. Of course since she is rather fast, chances are she will hit you with something, might even get a CH if you aren't careful.

Air-grabs and j.a/j.b is good to use. Since she can cancel her drives, even on hit, it can be risky, but the reword is grand. Once you get her knocked down, you have her since she doesn't have a DP to use. She can wake up super, but she will need meter for that, along with CA.

She moves around at a very rapid pace. try not to catch her as it will annoy you to the point of mindless mashing because you just want to get her. Just try to just move around as much as she does so it's a game of cat and mouse, and make sure you are the cat in this >~>

her pressure is scary, especially with drive cancel, you'll have to be mindful and watch her carefully if you want to find an opening.

I think this is one of my problems. I maybe try to much to catch her then get infuriated at how agile she is and how she can just dodge everything with her 3 air dashes.

Also sometimes when I try to close in on her with IAD > j.a/j.b, she just crouches and then hits me with 2As when I land. So annoying.

I suppose I should learn to be patient and read her movements while trying to keep her out of the air.

So far Tao is the one opponent I really have to watch carefully cause of her resets and I can't just DP mindlessly out of her pressure.

Thanks for the tips, tomorrow I'll try to play that Tao that has been kicking my ass and keep these in mind.
