Well, I am moving up to Orlando for UCF, and I happen to play Tao quite a bit as well. :3

lolololololool Now I can get my Hazama kicks while playing Tao with those j8D~A combos.

Is that anything like the combo ender I was talking about in the CS discussion thread?

Yeah, doing it off of counter hit 3C (the low hit) make it very easy to do, but Mebo also does it off of a running 5B CH (although the CH shouldnt factor in too much) 8D~6 is proper notation, although the shortcut is 9D~9, just like how some people write 6D~6 when its 5D~6

I can get the 5D~5 JC part (you have to really try to get a max range JC, I think), but its the 8D in the classic 5D~C 5D~A 8D~6 stuff which usually works out. Also, try it exclusively on Nu, for I think its her hitbox that makes it possible anyway (much like Arakune and his silly drive loop combo).

Well DF2K, none of that really suffices as an excuse- playing around with bad stuff and playing blindy will get you rated as such. Not personally, but for the purposes of Cake's analysis, which is the only thing any of us should even care about (although this is the COMBO thread. >w>) Getting back on topic, has anyone had any success with the Mebo combos? XDest and TaoFTW are too busy with CS I think, so I just don't know who to ask about it. Have you tried it much Rin?

Rin, what are you talking about? xD That Litchi is pretty terrible, in all honesty. She only got like, one actual combo (3.1k), and was whoring out 6A all match. As usual, lets do our best not to use 3C and 6C in pressure too often. Not a bad Tao Cakeh, just have to be more patient and get in more blockstrings, if you can. Litchi is pretty superior in the poking department with her staff, so just try to bait a DP out of her and get to work on her staffless mode, where Tao can freely get in her throw mixup. :3

Edit: Darn, I can't get the 8D to connect after the series of cancels. It may only be on Nu and counter, who knows.

I so did not just mention that Mebo video a post ago. I like the 5D~C combo a bit more, looks like it will work on more characters in my opinion, but I will test tomorrow morning. *takes cat nap*

Already mentioned this in the video thread but wow.

What in baby jesus is that loop? link 5B (counter) -> 3C -> [5D~6 -> jC]x2 -> 5D -> jC (max range) -> 5D~C -> 5D~A -> 8D~6 -> jC -> 8D~6 -> j236BB -> j236BBBB for 4013 damage? Hot damn.
