I've found myself getting crossovers by Ragna's J. B a lot, is annoying, good ragnas vary the way they dash in, and its rather weird that they approach with dash in air and J. C, you can freeze them easily, or Shoruyken them, but that J. B is CRAZY, not only can crossover, the animation of this hit is toooo long, and is combo time for him when it hits, another thing is good footsies, his 5B and his 5C has tremendous range!!, some other things that I had found annoying and that I don't really realize much what to do, after a simple combo he 5D and dash cancel it for more pressure, wow this is really annoying, and adding that fast 5A in the corners after a inferno divider, geez. is crazyness, I play the matchup in RushDown mode, bc zoning doest work much, you can Distortion drive his dash ins, or Shoryuken them, or maybe 5D them, but in this matchup I think the rush down is vital... For me is a difficult matchup, good ragnas are really annoying, their rushdown is incredible.

Ok, I was experimenting things like that in traning mode, but you know what? almost 80% of the things that you pull off in this mode, doesn't work in real live battles...there's to much to add you know...techs, rolls, etc etc. this is an example. I was experimenting and rec this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq1YMRlFpuY very cool huh? yeah yeah but it's a mental wack LOL, a lot of good players don't get caught on this, nevertheless, this is a waste of heat, You better save your heat for supers and some RC on blocked ice cars, maybe save a couple for ice trucks that are very good things in Jin's game.

No, never tech roll backwards against her, is very dangerous, and try to give techs a good timing to avoid getting hit. yes is a difficult matchup but I've notice that tao is a rush character, you just wait for her and play on a defense stance, if she try to jump in, try to freeze or srk, PATIENCE, try to not be caught on counter with those large combos, get away from corners, of course IBs and maybe counter assault can help a bit, and SAVE WELL your Barrier Burst, if you get caught on her long and irritating combos, don't hesitate...there's nothing much you can do thou...space, zoning, defense, Patience I think that is the key in this matchup specially on very good taos.

more useful ways you say?? great, tell me some examples if you can please! and yeah, you're totally right, Jin's supers are for ending matches...I've found really useful when you do and instant Hiyoku as an anti air...

Does this works? I'm beginning to test it and it give me good results...b/c when you grab and then do this distortion drive (while the opponent frozen on the air) it doesn't do a lot of damage...sometimes I just run and hit with this and cancel it into the Hiyoku...hmmmm. so, what do you thing about this?? maybe it can be old and easy to pull of, but I've found that consuming the heat on Distortion drives is very useful rather than rapid canceling...so, what do you think?
