Skye is an Arakune. Not a Tager.

Three cheers for CT Tager! May he rest in peace, for he shall be reborn Nov. 20th as a wrecking machine!

What. Tager can't lock her in, if anything she's locking you in. Seriously what Rachels are you playing? A Rachel vs Tager means Rachel is not on the ground at all. There are no lobelias, and no random summons. We can't do anything about j.A j.C or j.2CC. We have to IB ANY B we see to get a chance out of lockdown. It isn't getting close. Rachel is in your face from the getgo and none of your moves outprioritize her's on startup. And when you do some damage, you can't win anyway. Rachel just comes back in with heavier rushdown with a pumpkin this time since she got away from it the first time. It isn't walking through shit, it's IB'ing whatever the hell you see for meter and 360'ing any move she does on the ground with those 5 frames you get.

Yeah, until Tager rushes your ass down into a nice crazy mixup. Whatcha gonna do when Tager runs wild on you? 6A puts you in block if you are walking back off start, so you'll have to watch between two overheads, 5D, sledge, leapfrog, or a low. Or, 360 to possibly reset range and force you to do something. Match is not as easy as you say. Especially when you get jump whory and they just collider you for free. And when you're grounded, you have to know the holes to 360/720s through. Outside of that, it's a matter of who's tech traps land first.

I'm giving you my internet.

Bait anti airs? Punish anti airs? Land in front 720? Crossup? What are you smoking? Does Tager have a magic carpet that can put his oversized metallic ass anywhere? You jump, your opponent waits, AAs you. In Noel's case, Double AA. 6A canceles into 6C I believe. Land in front? What, is Noel not going to try and AA you? This isn't KoF where you can hop. Goddamn I wish it was. Punish anti airs from the air? Funny. Unless Tager has the Gold Potemkin Supers, I doubt that happens. Crossup, crossing yourself up maybe. Noel can just 28D with auto correction and ouch CH you go goodbye say hello to 22C. Using Tager means being smarter yes, but what happens when the opponent (everyone else in the game) has more tools than you do? Make yours effective? What if their tools are more effective than your tools? You're talking as if Tager has a billion options from the air. And the only good option Tager has in this matchup is Barrier block.

I'm on the opinion we don't post tech traps so that those silly guys that don't use Tager have to learn them by being 720d during a tournament.

Fun thing to do. IB the last hit of umbrella, A sledge through lobelia. CH. 2B 2C, or 2B 720 Pretty nice to have a mixup like that.

You can pull a burst 720 on Noel's 28D. Shit is so cash.

I noticed you've been throwing that move in our fights recently. I like it. I dislike having to deal with it, because I'm not used to seeing it so punishing it is lol at the moment. I was playing some Noel's in ranked today and got annoyed because everytime I psychic sledged, I went right through the invincibility frames and ate a CH D something. Raged hard. Noel is so unfair. v.v

Which reminds me, chances are they are looking at your magnetic gauge and when it's full they'll go right into crawl mode if they are fullscreen. So feel free to start walking forward. Free distance. =D

But, none of Litchi's DDs can do 3k damage by themselves. Point is moot. If Tager is just standing there charging, 3C and from there pick your combo and go.

Normally it helps to know the character. They aren't fakes, they are drive cancels and they aren't just used as mixup shenanigans. B cancel is fail. The only time a good Tao is using this is during a combo or they are vastly underestimating your ability. C Cancel is deadly. 2D right out of it, Sticky kitty to hit the back wall and retreat, crossup j.C and barrier block if it's a safe Tao. A Cancel normally will lead into 2A. Tao can 2D at any time during the match to escape tech traps. This is very bad for you, good for Tao because if it hits she can cancel it into a combo. Tao's pokes and speed are far superior to our own. Really sucks... Do not, I repeat DO NOT sledge her projectiles. Unless you want CH 5C 6C 236C~C 2D BnB loop. Then sure go ahead. I'll eat the combo once just to put me in close range and in the corner so a well timed grab or collider can shift momentum greatly. A good Tao will stay airbourne, but will move around your AC hitbox. IB 2C is wonderful in this match. Also a good eye for prediction will help. Fish for j.2C whenever possible. Risk reward is good, as Tao has trouble doing damage and spacing you. Since well, Tao has to get close.
