Tao pressure is only scary because it LOOKS so fast, in truth, she has a lot of gaps in her blockstrings that you can D through or poke out of with relative ease.
For example, if you ever REACT to a Tao throwing out her 6B overhead, it's a free 4D Fatal for us, her 2A loses to 2D for free, her 6A can be 3C'd under, her 5B can be 4D'd and 2D'd, pretty much everything Tao can do to pressure you is unsafe, if you find yourself blocking a Tao drive, it's usually pretty safe to disrespect by throwing out a 5A, ESPECIALLY after an IB, but don't mash it, just hit it once, that way if Tao uses a cancel that makes your 5A whiff, you'll have time to recover and block.
The Tao matchup is actually REALLY Free if the Tao thinks they can just pressure all day.
