How do you all deal with people jumping, safely or not? Realizing my strings aren't tight enough, or when I go for a pressure reset they have enough time to upback. Sometimes I can tag them, or keep them from actually moving anywhere, but when I do hit I'm having a hard time converting stray air hits into damage. Any advice for a struggling tao player?

Ok that makes a lot more sense. Didn't even know about the different kds. So how does she set up off the first knockdown? Usual shenans in iad buttons on wakeup or is it usually some sort of pressure string? Is it possible to get the knockdown and run them to the corner? I'm just trying to set up a better than barebones game plan for training. I get the knockdown first combo after deal, but I'm not understanding what's to stop people from mashing, off of 2d in particular. Meaty pressure to condition vs mash, then opening them up for proper mixups? Sorry if I come off daft, I'm just confused since risk reward seems to be in their favor usually considering millia has crap health.

I'm fairly new to the GG series in general, but I was watching a lot of matches and I realized I really like Millia. I'm puzzled as to how disc oki works though. Can't they easily disrespect with mash or reversals, if you get them with just a 2d for knockdown midscreen? And what's to stop mash in the corner? I know I don't have the timing down yet, but so far 6k is the only thing stopping mash, and even that has to be spaced. Am I missing something? Is that why people tend to only start setups after the IAD combo? Feel free to explain it as blunt as possible, I'm pretty much the definition of new to this series.

Hello, first time poster here. Been playing for a little bit, and love Tao. I'm having a bit of trouble with the jump loop (I think). Is the 2b>5b>j.a>jb(1 or 2 depending on char)>jc>5c route a thing? I've seen it in a few tao videos where they don't insert a 5b or 2b>5b before going into a nother rep, but I can't get it for the life of me. Anyone know if it's char specific or if it's just not doable? If it is are there any timing tips I could get? Really wanna start getting proficient with my fav character in this iteration, and its a little frustrating I can't figure these things out myself. Thanks all.
