If she is all up in yo bizznizz, either
A) try to Guard Impact
B) if you see an opening, either BB or go for a grab.
C) Duck and hammer away.

When she steps back into stance (4B+K) block low covers all her attack options that aren't slow enough to react, unless she jumps(4B+K8). If you duck 4B+K, B you get 236B for free at least. If she does the sidestepping stance (2_8B+K) into AA and you block or duck it then you can usually hit her, but the punish depends on the follow-up, if she spins again BB should get her no matter what she does, if she continues to hit your block with the extra B then she ends with her back to you at a pretty large disadvantage and if she terminates you can hit her with something quick like AA once you see her putting her tonfa back in place. If you block 2K (as with many characters) you get 236B.

Zalriel: I'm stealing your sig.
One thing about talim is most of her speed comes out when shes close to you, as long as she's jumping around and throwing mid range you've got the advantage (I think anyway). So if you're having a problem with her, try to space her out a little, as divine chaos points out BB if you see an opening it does a couple things, it pushes back on block slightly and it makes talim stop following her strings up. Other moves that might do this for you as well are WS K (and a quick backstep too maybe), 3K and if you're being given the time 11A and 44B+K. As an aside I think talims 6B+K, A+B (that twirling multihit in the air) gives you 236B on block.
Now keep in mind, I don't REALLY fight a whole lot of talims, so I could be very wrong about this.

Serious? Is this thread serious? Sophitia DESTROYS Talim in this game.
Talim actually doesn't have a lot of speed, she's pretty slow. She just moves around a lot, but the problem is that her attacks come out at the end of her movements so you can just interrupt her before she comes to impact. For ALL of her Windsault and Windleap options, you can just BB her out of it. For EVERYTHING she does that leads to damage (except windleap A, you could just interrupt that with BB), you can block and punsih.
If you're scared of her windleap options, just block low. The A will be blocked (its safe), the B will be ducked (punish it!), and the K will never reach unless you rush in (punish it!). She has an unblockable, but you can see it coming. She can also transition into windsault, but at that point its just a 50/50 mixup, and if you guess right, you get to launch her for free.

Jay what have we told you about telling people the problems?
Quite honestly if you having problems with her the only thing I can think of is that your not familiar with her at all. One thing you should do before thinking a character is super fast or w/e is try going to practice mode with them and running through there move list and seeing how there moves work. That way you can know how to block and when to block and what you should punish and not etc. Also fighting the comp on Edge Master is actually a good way to find out the gist of certain characters.
