What days are you planning on going as I have some extra money and I'm going to be bored this upcoming weekend. Also LLOL your a "scrub".

Weird when I tried that I still could not get the air dash to come out. Oh well I'll give it another shot then at least I know I was on the right track. Thanks again Km for the help.

There is actually a way to make the first hit a mid as well,the timing on making It an overhead is Dumb. The entire idea of making one hit a mid and one an overhead is silly if you ask me. Thanks for the insight,now would you be so kind on telling me how to do that 5D,RC,IAD,J.a that satsuno has been doing.I can never get the air dash to come out.

Well on a standing opponent it would work, though your right about the crouching thing. Still I wonder if they fixed that weird glitch in which when you do 214D-fast j.b it's a mid but when you delay the j.b it suddenly becomes an overhead.

Is it possible to use Tao's j.B as an IOH due to it's new hit box? Also has it been confirmed if you still have to delay J.b to make it an Overhead or did they just changed it to a mid? Tao 6K with AB2 off a forward throw is just amazing. Makes you feel like your playing AE Yun just without a dive kick/broken normals.

Here are some videos he was in recently, video 2=Anti air 2C,214D,j.C hit confirm nuff said. A MUST watch. Tao's j.B IOH? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cKcs0CB6No *NEW EDIT* Acho video with solid Tao gameplay Kinji (yellow Tao)-Improved greatly since CS2 Pink Tao (izayoi matoi?)-The play style looks very close to his,but it feel somewhat refreshed. Very interesting usage of AB2 and uses a different air grab combo on Arakune to force an air tech lower to the ground. Mc Donald color Tao- Based on habits and play style i'm confident in saying that it's whistler using a different alternative color...again. Solid gameplay as always

XDest in that nico video you posted it looks like the hakumen player crouched at the last second;it makes sense to try and block after a whiff grab. Still that was a very easy hit confirm so 2B into 3.5K looks really practical, overall tao is looking great outside of the defensive nerfs. any new info on JBBS?

Tsujikawa + satsuno is all I need to keep playing tao, also 5B,2B,6A was the combo route I was thinking of for solid mid-screen damage only problem is that you need to be at a certain distance to get 2B,6A to work.The 6A will whiff if your too far away.....hopefully it still combo's.

Not sure if this has been posted but counter hit J.D after the wallbounce your opponent can tech before they hit the ground. The other drives seem unchanged when they CH as I saw CH 2D,J.4D still worked,overall tao looked much stronger this week so stay optimistic fellow tao's as she is looking pretty strong right about now. XDest after we see a little more concrete AB2 usage it's safe to open the CSEX combo thread as I'm starting to see a pattern in what CSEX Tao's are hit confirming into as well as similar enders.

LOL a matchup I actually did an analysis on. Check the match up forum as there should be a wall of text on your options.

6B,j.D-B,(5B,5C,J.D-B) X 3 only works on crouching opponents. It's universal but the timing is different on some characters like litchi, does anyone know if this is still in CSEX?

We should probably wait about a week before making any form of combo thread. Let's wait till we pretty much see all the tao's doing roughly the same ender for damage as then we would be able to assume that is the max damage. Right now only tao's we have got to see is the random pink one and satsuno, but making a place holder thread would be good to keep the forum organized.

wow that counter assault nerf is just dumb it whiffed on tsubaki 5C, they should have just made it punishable on block as now it's the worst counter assault in the game if you ask me. CSEX Tao looking kinda of a turn off as unique combo's aren't my thing, but my subs and characters I was working on are looking fine so after I recover from being robbed I will definitely be getting this game when it comes out.Hopefully something is discovered soon as I am still optimistic in using Tao for the next game. Guide to beating Tao in CSEX in America- Always block high as you will block overheads and you won't lose any real health,mash jump back J.C,J.B in neutral as this is called spacing not mashing when done in the air, Mash anti air in the neutral as when it hi'st everyone will think your spacing GDLK. Last but not least thank you BB for rewarding me for not playing a character with a DP.

Yea were fine, had an appointment that day so we weren't in the house truth be told I'm not all that bothered by this as I really feel I just traded all my electronics for my mom's life as things could have been much worse if I would have left the house leaving her alone. The cops were dicks so I doubt I'm getting anything back just going to have to wait till I get a job and buy things back one step at a time. Won't be able to Netplay for awhile,but I can just go to my sisters house to use her computer (where I am responding from now),also I still have my T.V and cable so I won't be completely bored.

Just got robbed for everything in my apartment (including consoles) =/ dealing with the police might be late for casuals or might not go,though I really could use the alone time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce6G3Qu3eBo&feature=channel_video_title At 00:38 Satsuno does 2B,5C,2C,5D,RC, IAD,J.B how do you do this as whenever I RC 5D Tao won't IAD like that =(. I can't seem to figure it out any help would be appreciated.

One thing I just realized is that now that 5B,6A doesn't combo unless crouching and 3C has too much blowback to go into 236A how are we going to punish DP's mid-screen outside of lol grab combo?. As for her damage she needed it to be high in CS2 as she get's no real oki at all not even BB oki at the end of her combo's,still im fine with her changes.The only thing that is kinda annoying to look at is that as it stands right now your rewarded for not having good execution and playing a complete brain dead character (thanks BB). Somethings I noticed is that the pink tao player never did j.2D,j.236B he always canceled into j.236B after 9D, also after a raw 6A he only did J8D-A twice and then went for the ender makes me think either that guy is not that good or they changed the proration on some of her stuff. Overall the biggest problem I see besides doing 2K to punish DP's and -9 frame advantage that does not put you in counter hit state mid-screen is the fact Tao does not have two auto pilot universal ground normal's she can throw out to get east hit confirms into solid damage. Ex (Ragna 5B,5C,/Bang 5B,2B/Jin 5B,5C/etc.) What this means is when we do get them in the corner we have no way of getting a hit confirm off of raw 5B so the possible 6K damage off it is meaningless. Still day 2 was not as bad as it could have been.

Edited the main post.Thank you for your input KoopaDoopa I really appreciate it and lol SUPAKOOPADOOPADESU is still the best name.

My thoughts exactly only thing is we get 3K off of grab setups, so it's not like our damage will be complete CS2 bang tier,truth be told we haven't seen how hard other characters have been hit yet so there is still the possibly that we are all just over reacting and things are better than what they appear to be. Only thing I will miss is 5B,6A burst bait stuff and 214D cross up from any distance, thankfully I have already memorized the distance in which J.C,dash 6A will allow me to combo so I'm fine now.

The guy looked like he was doing a mix of testing things and sticking to what he knew, his hit confirms were a tad bit auto pilot. Tao's max damage is usually shown very quickly after a new patch. Off of throws she gets far more damage now and her froward throw looked like you can combo roughly anywhere on screen, she still plays the same if you ask me as most of all her damage always came from neutral and some sort of reset mid block string. I can see her relying more on using 5C,6C with 214D and trick edge after 3C for oki, so I don't see getting the opponent in the corner that hard of a task. Just give it sometime I'm sure more stuff will be shown and the really good Tao's are in the lab discovering best combo paths and getting use to the changes, not to mention their is still AB2.

I found it interesting how the pink tao was using a combination of 3C,Trick edge and 5C,6C,214D to get some good corner carry while maintaining some oki. Does 214D still auto correct when it crosses up?
