A good Rachel will NOT let you in by any means. That's going to be your biggest issue. IAD Barrier will tend to work better on her than Nu though, since Nu can anti-air combo you from a distance, and Rachel can't. With Rachel you have pretty much 2 goals: 1) Get in and stay there. Rachel doesn't have much in the way of defensive options. She literally has nothing that can beat 5A (3x) dash 5A etc. Her only hope is to IB 2C which, if read, is horribly unsafe on block. 2) Run that bitch to the corner. Like Hakumen and Tager, you can do some insane damage on Rachel in the corner. 22BC loops wind up doing something like 7k damage.

You have no idea how helpful it is. This video is made of win and awesome. This'll be great stuff to work on tomorrow. Optimizing my damage potential off random pokes and such. Many thanks!

Since no one has posted these yet (which I'm rather surprised), here's some vids off Goldenrody's account.

Further testing says: this super pretty much loses to everything in the air. j.A, j.B, j.C, j.236C will all beat it at the right range. In my experience, most Tao's use this super as a fairly close range anti-air, so just mash dat A buttan.

Further notes on the Tao pounce super: Hold 2. Seriously, just hold down. This move whiffs on crouch ALWAYS. Pretty sure it'll whiff on 3C too, I should go test that. You can also airthrow her out of it, but timing is a bitch so just crouch it instead. EDIT: 3C on reaction to super-flash will dodge it completely. If you're in the middle of 2C when super-flash starts up, cancel to 3C for counter-hit. EDIT EDIT: You don't even have to react to the super-flash. You have forever to 3C under that.
