Mat-

The training with Tao is progressing steadily, I can now perform the starter 6a -> JC -> j.2d~b most of the time as well as a few iterations of the taunt loop afterwards. Now I'd like to start working on the combo ender, but I'm a little lost since the recommended ones in the OP look quite different from the taunt combo enders in the CT thread. What combo ender would you recommend, that is good in CS but still practiceable in CT (even if it blackbeats)? I was thinking about this one from the CT thread: 236cc -> 2d~6 -> j.c -> 8d~6 -> j.c -> 8d~6 -> j.236bbbb (I guess it's impossible to extend it with j.236bb -> j.c -> 8d~6 -> j.236bbb?) However the CS one seems a bit different, with the 3D~3 at the end: 236CC -> 2D~6 -> j.C -> 9D~9 -> j.C -> 9D~9 -> ... -> 3D~3 -> j.236Bx5

Yeah, from what I've understood as well reading other threads, taunt combos which are Tao's BnB in CS are also partially doable in CT - it's just that most people ignore them and rely rather on drive loops. Right? So Tao it is. I was pretty much screwed anyway since the other char I like is Arakune and he's getting a lot of changes as well apparently, so he wouldn't even make a decent sub once CS comes out and I main Tao. Since I have to learn all the BB basics, I don't think the CT/CS differences are going to matter that much at first. I'm just going to play solid, to get familiar with stuff like barrier/instablocking and Tao's normal/special moves (only 4 attack buttons but with all the moving/jumping variations that's about 30 REALLY different moves T_T). And try to throw in a taunt combo when I get the chance. I'll have a look at the combo thread to figure out which ones I can practice on CT, or at least how they start so I can understand which kind of situations/setups I must aim for. Quite a long road ahead but with Tao I'm sure it's gonna be hella fun. She already makes my friends cringe. :3

Hi people! My first post here. I bought CT a few days ago and decided to play Taokaka for no other reason than her raw awesomeness. However I've read here that moving from CT to CS with her can be quite difficult. So I'm tempted to just screw around with another char and wait until CS is released to get serious with Tao. This way I won't have any bad CT habits to get rid of or stuff like that. What's your opinion on this? About how much of CT mechanical training with Tao (drive loops, etc) would be transferrable to CS? I'm kind of a long term gamer so waiting a few months (if CS is still scheduled for July) is really not a big issue.
