In Calamity Trigger I immediately latched onto Taokaka because of her design. Her gameplay pretty much solidified her as my main and I spent a good six or seven months playing almost strictly Tao. After that I took a break and waited for Continuum Shift. My initial hope was that they'd put Kokonoe in and I could swap to her, but that didn't pan out so well. I spent about a month trying to decide between continuing Tao or swapping to Tsubaki, Noel, Lambda, or Makoto. I settled on Noel because she's got the most appealing looks and I can be flashy with her. Fights are hard, especially against the top three, but it's always a pretty rewarding experience when I win. I am considering swapping to Platinum when she comes out though. We'll see.

I heard some people say that Lambda can't be Haida looped off a corner throw like the rest of the cast, anyone know if it's true? And would a corner 3C still work on her?

Aha, thanks a bunch. Guess there's a typo on the first page.

Hey guys, having some trouble with this combo. In the corner: d. 6a, d. 6c, 6d, 623D, 6C, j. d, 6d, d. 6b, d. 5b, d. 6b, d. 5c, 236d, 236 D, fenrir. I think I can do most of it, but I keep getting stuck at 6d, d. 6b, d. 5b, d. 6b, d. 5c. For the life of me I cannot get d.5c to connect after 6b. It doesn't feel like I'm anywhere close to landing it. Is there any special timing I need for it?

Hey guys, I was thinking. Is anyone interested in doing a Taokaka-specific study group? Just a room with a few of us Taokaka players in one place helping each other out. Maybe meet once or twice a week? I've noticed Tao's popularity has been dropping a bit lately, and we can't have that.

I've been working on catching opponents in the air and shifting into a combo. I've found that this works really well against jump happy Bangs - (Opponent Jumping) 2d~5 (Delay for a split second) -> (5d~6 -> j.c) x 3 -> 5d~6 -> j.a -> j.c -> 9d~6 -> 236bb -> 236bbbb (4.2k) You can substitute 236bbbb for a throw if you're feeling up to it and get 5.2k I don't know if it's been posted yet ( I looked and couldn't find it), but Bang's always given me a lot of trouble combo-wise, so it's nice to be able to dish out damage to him.

Single round against an Arakune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS8uwbfpABs Nothing great, but it was nice to hit that opening combo and halve health early. I need to work on the video quality though.

After all the time it took to learn it, I'm starting to realize that the 3c -> 6d -> j.c -> 236b -> 2d~b -> 6c string is really hard to hit online unless your opponent has a great connection. What do you guys do after 3c when playing against someone you're unsure of?

Anyone want a few games? I'm level 41 and it seems I've hit my glass ceiling, been on a bit of a losing streak today, hoping that playing some other Taos will help my gameplay out. Edit: Big thanks to XDest for helping me out, you gave me a ton of good advice.

D'oh Well I feel dumb. Thanks.

I think I'm doing that and still getting 3400/3500, I made a short video of two versions just to be sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NTFCF_el18

I started to work on this combo from the front page: 5b -> 6a x1 -> JC -> j.2d~b -> Taunt -> 236cc -> 2d~6 -> j.c -> 8d~6 -> j.236bbbb (3.9k: No knockdown) I'm able to get it and all, but it only does about 3.3k for me, I can get up to 3.5k if I do more drive loops, but how do you get it to 3.9?
