She has the lowest Guard Libra rating in the game, 80%. This means that it is easy to guard crush Tao. For example, two full pressure strings from Ragna will cause her to guard break. Tao has no good anti-air and reversal options. The only exception is her Hexa Edge, but that requires 50% meter. Tao lacks the necessary tools for zoning. Characters that excel at mid-range to long-range work against her. Taokaka's Drive: Dancing Edge, involves using the drive button and a direction input to launch Taokaka at her enemy.
