Rin, can't really provide you much critique but on a neutral throw you can 4d and lead it into a drive loop before a normal person spamming buttons can tech out of it. In training mode the CPU usually tech's out of it half the time before you reach them.

It's just all timing, I usually input 236c just as the 6c animation is ending (prob last 1-2 frames) and it usually hits on the money. If anything, I do 236c to early and it whiffs more often then not.

Recently finished building my stick in time for BB console release. Turned out pretty well considering it's my first time, I plan to do much better next time! Sanwa JLF Stick & HAPP Competition Buttons / 360

Obviously it's not practical, but it's just interesting that it adds such a huge damage modifier. In practice, i'd be impressed if anyone can actually put it to use.

I didn't see anything on this on these forums about this, but I actually stumbled across an interesting quirk to Tao when screwing around with a friend. It started out as an accident but I went to test it later in training mode and notice there was a huge damage modifier for Tao's Distortion Drives when you combo off a taunt (and only a taunt, other attacks added and proration occured--reducing the damage, but it was still higher then normal). I'm not sure why that is but I went ahead and scrawled the numbers down tests I did on Rachel & Jin standing right next to them for the full effect. I know this may be all well and useless but I thought it was a interesting mechanic--or bug.
