LunaKage Report post Posted October 9, 2011 Midscreen you can't do 5B->3C->236A anymore. Dang. Oh well. So we have to use 6A then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KM Riku Report post Posted October 9, 2011 5B->6A doesn't combo anymore on standing characters and people who know the matchup usually block high most of time lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KM Riku Report post Posted October 9, 2011 Unless you hit a j.C->6A or an air-to-air CH, the only universal midscreen combo that is meterless is 5B->5C->2C->236A->5D~A. Some players are testing a new como route using 5B->5C->JC->j.B->j.2B->j.C->6A, but it doesn't work against some characters like Ragna, Lambda, Noel, Makoto, Platinum and Relius.

What does that offer you? Frame advantage? Is it the same in CS2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KM Riku Report post Posted October 9, 2011 5D~A on standing? What does that offer you? Frame advantage? Is it the same in CS2? Yes for both questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LunaKage Report post Posted October 9, 2011 Yes for both questions. Good shit, what is it? +1,2,3, the higher the number the larger my Taorection will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XDest Report post Posted October 9, 2011 5D~A is -2 on block, don't know how much on hit but I think it's +1. So what I like to do vs mashy people is (5B/2B->5C->2C->236AxN->5D~A)xN. 5D~B I think changes based on how far away you were when you did it, but its regular disadv on block is -5. The B cancel is mostly for combos and j.D~B. And shit like 236AxN->far 5D~B->4B+C. Oh yeah, and crouching loop combos. 5D~C is +2 on block, but because it leaves you in the air (and too far up in the air to j.A directly) you have to eternally bait anti airs and jabs after it with stuff like backdashes and jump cancels. 5D~RC exposes people.

LunaKage Report post Posted October 9, 2011 Crouching loop combos you say? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Domethieus Report post Posted October 9, 2011 I'd say there really isn't a loop for Tao so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeoGio0o Report post Posted October 9, 2011 Crouching loop combos you say? 6B,j.D-B,(5B,5C,J.D-B) X 3 only works on crouching opponents. It's universal but the timing is different on some characters like litchi, does anyone know if this is still in CSEX? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KM Riku Report post Posted October 9, 2011 It doesn't need to be a 6B starter, any stuff you do and your opponent is crouching you can JC->j.D~B->5B->5C (the number of times depends on the starter). Also this is not possible in CSEX anymore because j.D has less untechable time on grounded characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LunaKage Report post Posted October 9, 2011 Luna is asking tons of questions lol. It's mainly because I'm giving a shit for a change. Whenever I play another character, I'll be losing to someone free, get pissed of and say "ok main time". Makoto > lose > fuck this, Noel time Lambda > Lose > fuck this, Noel time Plat > Lose > fuck this, Noel time But with CS2 Tao, for some reason I keep coming back for more, hell I lost twice in a row to Lumin with Tao today, and picked her again just to body him, my main problem with other characters was that I didn't care to learn matchups, it wasn't that serious to me, with CS2 Tao it's like "I got this... eventually". I'm also having fun again, the only big problem I have with Tao so far is her fucking j.236B not doing what I want it to sometimes, and me getting punished for it.

You're having trouble with 3D~3 -> j.236Bx5 eh? Because of the massive hitstop drives got in CS2, this timing takes a bit of work to get into muscle memory.

LunaKage Report post Posted October 9, 2011 You're having trouble with 3D~3 -> j.236Bx5 eh? Because of the massive hitstop drives got in CS2, this timing takes a bit of work to get into muscle memory. I knew it was 3D~3, the fucking combo thread didn't specify, so I was wondering why sometimes I'd go backwards, other times I'd go forward. I figured it out on my own though, but my main problem with j.236B though is that it's so specific, if you so much as accidentally do an extra jump after 2D~C, you already fucked your combo :C I'm still having a blast though, I think it has a lot to do with j.B being her old j.236B, and she still has her old j.B, it just makes her more fun for me I dunno. Also a question, what should I be doing after a FC Max charge 2C? I get about 4.7k meterless and loopless, but for a move that slow and unpractical I suspect that I should be getting much more. Also what is my go to combo after a max range CH 5C? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cryingvoid Report post Posted October 9, 2011 this timing takes a bit of work to get into muscle memory. It must be first freed from 2D's to let anything inside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cryingvoid Report post Posted October 9, 2011 Hands off the Panda!!! Also a question, what should I be doing after a FC Max charge 2C? (midscreen) GC -> [2C] FC -> [6C] -> 5d~b (hit) > 5c > 9d loop > ender (corner/near corner) GC -> [2C] FC -> [6C] -> 6C -> 236CC -> 5D~A -> j.8D~A (!!!9 reps!!!) loop > ender Also what is my go to combo after a max range CH 5C? -(dash)5b > 3c (3 hits) > 236a (or RC, if doesn't reach) > 5d~b (hit) >5c > 9d loop > ender If too far enough, then drive grimmicks or some stuff.

LunaKage Report post Posted October 9, 2011 Ah so basically go into her loop off of some crazy shit? Makes sense, I suppose loopless I'm pretty much capped at 4.7 lol Also I remember trying to link dash 5B off of CH 5C last night and it wasn't working, guess I need to try harder.
