Let us not be so quick to judge Talim. =)
I like how Talim can start her wind moves without having to do 2A+B, for example, like how she was in SC2. That's a big plus! So, when you anticipate a move or even see it coming, dodge it by guessing or by reflex using the appropriate wind technique (which is challenging but somehow we need to figure out how to be dodging gurus). The down side, ofcourse, is that when we use a wind technique, the game makes us do something right after in retaliation. Which means we can't just throw out wind techniques randomly, we actually have to use them to dodge in order to reap the rewards.
Talim's over all moveset is quite slow. And I understand, as Jaxel said, that Talim's moveset overall provides little reward and high risk. But that forces us to dodge, cause the opponent to whiff and then retaliate, giving us enough time to use those relatively slowish and risky moves...and actually hit. Talim's not about going toe to toe with the opponent right in front of them. Neither is she about jumping around all over the place and hoping to dodge some attacks. We need to analyze the opponent's strategy, dodge those moves as we see them coming or as we anticipate them, and then retaliate.
If the opponent sits their and blocks a lot/punishes. Consider using 2A+B, 6A+B and 6A+BG (fake). Whittle their soul down. If their soul gauge is threatened, they've got no choice but to attack a little more or start GIing/parrying/dodging. That'll be in your favour. Good luck.
Heck I'm no expert. And I know I can be wrong so provide feed back about anything. However, that is my philosophie de Talime.
P.S. sorry perhaps I should have typed this in some different thread. I started typing a little and got carried away by ze spirit de Talime.
