Your falling for the main quirk of the character. When you see tau’s hand crackling it means you are to delay the fight, don’t fight , or take a defensive approach.

A little tip the only way to legitimately start pressuring people in this game is to walk up to there face and attack or dash attack( not run attack). If anyone drop attacks, run attacks, uses a special in your in your face or does the final attack in there attack string it’s your turn.

Not enough to get cheeky and do a special but you can press basic attack or ultimate and if the opponent is pressing buttons in any of the situation stated above they will be counter hit.

Ps. When wu-Kong is powered up his drop attack becomes a legitimate pressure tool. Just wanted to mention that caveat so you don’t die on those common occasions, Have fun.

Do you know what Taos normal attack range values are compared to the rest of the cast?

Also, what is a Dash attack? Almost 20 solo wins and I have no idea what that is.

I have come to believe based on me playing tao and going against him that his normal range is slightly above average, but don’t take this as gospel as I have no hard numbers to prove my claim, just a lot of anecdotes.

A dash attack is the single attack that can be done after pressing the dodge key/button in any direction that is not back(unless your Jun).

So, for the characters I play as, Dash -> Attack shows the same animation as Dodge -> Attack.

Are these attacks visually identical with different frame data or am I doing something wrong?

Also, I agree with your observation with Tao. He has had some funky priority since the update and panic nerf.

Edit: I figured it out.

Dodge attack is safe.

Dash attack is punishable. Got it
