Overview

Strengths

Weaknesses

Extremely fast 2.B. Easy cross-up potential with 9.C. Good 2.C anti-air. Great 66.K. Extremely active and can end certain juggle combos. Best command grab in the game. Very good damage on all combos. Versatile Stress Shot Super that can allow for full screen punishes. Extremely damaging Stress Shot corner loops. Instant overhead options for most characters. j.2B jump loops. Small hurtbox. Hard to cross-up. Air throw back turns the opponent if they don't recover.

Most normals and specials are extremely unsafe on block. No reliable block strings. 66.P is extremely short and has significant start-up frames. [4]6.D is difficult to use in combos thanks to it's longer start-up. [4]6.B/D is punishable on block or on reaction with supers. [4]6.A/C can be punished on reaction at close/mid-screen. [2]8.B/D is not air unblockable, has an extremely long charge time, and does small amount damage. Lacks any significant range without her Stress Shot Super. Ippatsu Ougi super is extremely difficult to set-up and combo into. Kinjite Super only does an extra 15 damage at the cost of 3 Stress Meter.

Strategy

Tane can play in various ways. From playing defensively to offensive. Tane can easily play offensive thanks to her short hurtbox, fast run speed and her crouch walking; Tane can easily close the distance between the opponent. Tane also benefits greatly from her Stress Shot super. Doing 60 damage raw, this super is a devastating full screen punish tool that can also be used to end combos with, and be looped in the corner for massive damage. Adding to her Stress Shot corner loops, Tane can also loop 9.A > j.2B on crouching characters and standing Kanji. Tane's offensive power is extremely strong and versatile thanks to these two loops. Tane can also play defensively very well. Using her [2]8.B/D and 2.C she can keep the opponent out of the air easily. If Tane lands an anti-air 2.C, she can combo into her Stress Shot super for extra damage. Additionaly, Tane's small hurtbox can allow her to walk under jump-ins and cross-under the opponent. Adding onto Tane's great rushdown, she has a command grab (63214.A/C). This command grab is possibly the best in the game thanks to it's large damage and positioning. It's excellent to open up defensive opponents or to finish a combo with. If the command grab is landed in the corner, you can follow it up with a dash punch or even a Stress Shot super.

Tane does have a few major flaws you will need to keep in mind too. Her [4]6.A/C's projectile has an arc on it and can be easily punished on start-up and on whiff. However, if it is done at the right distance it can be followed up with a hyper hop or a dashing punch. [4]6.A/C is a very high risk high reward special that should be used sparringly. Her short range can be very crippling against characters with longer normals or better defensive options. You will have to take risks with her command grab, trying to cross-up or doing an empty jump into 2.B. Speaking of Tane's short range, don't use [4]6.B/D like a fireball. It can be passed through with supers, jumped over, rolled through or block punished. Use it to end combos, not to space with. Keep in mind, j.2B is not a free entry tool. It's punishable on block. Try to avoid using her Ippatsu Ougi and Kinjite supers since her Stress Shot super is just too good to not use. Her Ippatsu Ougi is nearly impossible to land thanks to it's huge start-up time and Kinjite does 15 more damage than a single Stress Shot super.
