man, i don't see how this match up is in tao's favor at all. I just got finished playing this high level lamda and it was damn near impossible to get close to him. everytime i iad i got smacked right out of the air. Her dp will snag tao, if you are in the air. Even super jumping doesn't work her 2d goes that high to snag you.
Her gravity well, stops tao from pressuring her. her aa 6a beats all of tao's air to ground attacks. i mean the player i played, was a pro guilty gear player who used dizzy, alex garland or something like that. If he wasn't breaking my guard libra, i was getting aa, from everywhere that i came. i truly don't see how, with as many ways she has to break tao's guard libra and aa tao, how can she possible beat lamda.
Also, once she get's meter i think it's her 6dd the one that comes from behind, can be hit confirmed into her multi sword distortion then, you have to guess, if you ib it, he would do the wheel from behind and while you were blocking the swords, dash up, instant over head, or do the 214d to break your one of your guard primers. I felt like this match was hopeless, unless i got in. Who ever said, cat crawl was good must not have played a good lamda. There's no way you have enough time to cat crawl with getting hit but either her 6dd, dp, dash up instant air 214d, and the swords that come up from the ground and who knows what else.
I'm no xdest or no kazu but man, this has got to a really iffy match up, like if tao doesn't get close from the beginning she loses, but if tao hits lamda with 3 solid combos shes dead but the point is, how do you get pass all of her ways to stop you from getting in?
