Boasting varied "rushing attacks" with the use of claws! A speedy character with unique mobility! [1]

General Strategy

Taokaka is a speed type character who toys with her opponent, with the most mobility out of the whole BlazBlue cast. With high mobility comes hectic controls, though.

Taokaka can jump 3 times, and midair dash 2 times. Just keep in mind that her jumps, midair dashes, and Drive ability "Dancing Edge" move counts are shared. At mid-range, Standing C and Jump C are useful for control space. When you want to close Distance, from Standing C go into Cat Jump!, or jump cancel into a jumping attack. If Cat Jump! → Jump A → Jump C is standing guarded, if the opponent crouch guards, a double jump C will hit. Even without Cat Jump! if jumping C is low guarded, you can create the same conditions. Learning this will greatly increase your fighting abilities.

When close, hit the opponent with a Crouching A → Standing B, or Standing B → Standing A → Standing B. Then, use a normal throw or the middle attack → + B to shake up their guard. → + B can be used while avoiding low-level attacks or normal throws. By connecting → + B → Cat Spirit Two!, Taokaka is able to move earlier than a guarding opponent, so try to connect these attacks at all times.

When the opponent closes in from the air, meet them with → + A or Jump A or Jump B. Taokaka's 🡖 crawl can go under opponents' jumping attacks, making it another solid option. When the enemy gets too close, Cat Person's Secret Art: Hexa-Edge is a reliable move. If you don't have Heat Gauge, use a barrier to create space, then use a back jump or back step to retreat to a safe distance.[2]

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

Taokaka demonstrates a simply overwhelming speed. She can run circles around her opponents' attacks. Her Drive "Dancing Edge" grants her a tremendous boost in speed, and if you press her Drive button while simultaneously turning the lever, she can fly around the screen both horizontally and vertically. She has many low and middle variations, but beware of her low defense![1]
