What do I do against Tech Crouch?!?!

[Kyodaii]

I'm having a hard time against moves that tech crouch such as Asta's knee and sieg's 3B. Also some moves by cervy and mitsurugi. If I PO A, or PO K, they go under. If I hover, it hits it me out. PO B isn't fast enough and I think PO side step isn't fast enough either.

If I try to open with A, B PO, they tech under A and launch me. If I do 1B,A, PO, they hit me before 1B.

help plz T.T

You could try PO 2_8 if you think theyll throw one of the linear attacks you mentioned then hit them in the back. You could also not PO everytime since both of those attacks are punishable for taki. Finally you could not go into possession if the transition didn't hit as you'll generally be a disadvantage anyway if you try.

both moves are pretty crappy on block have you considered running up and just blocking, at this point you've trained them to attack you when you rush in. So rush in then see what they will do and attack accordingly...

run up & they sit and block... throw
run up & they use asta knee...punish
run up & they us sieg 3B... punish

Taki is very offensive but you can't blindly try to rush down people... play smarter, stop working so hard

against asta's 6K POStep works. not sure about sieg's though.

you could also delay the PO A a bit so it catches them as they're coming out of tech crouch.

you could PORC and block.. most TC moves are punishable.

and yeah, you could try not finishing the string with PO :) maybe try the bomb or mekki or kick ender.

If I try to open with A, B PO, they tech under A and launch me. If I do 1B,A, PO, they hit me before 1B.

you mean open the round? or just start your offensive? if they're constantly teching under the A of AB, then it sounds like you need to switch it up a bit more, maybe some 3KK could prevent that since it's fast and mid, or even BB, and then once they fear TCing, you can 1BA~PO or BA into games.

This will work against Asta but not seig Im pretty sure, 3B TC lasts through the hit.

If you are getting your 1BA interrupted, you're probably throwing it at disadvantage. 1BA is a reasonably fast move, but dont expect it to beat people out after they've just blocked one of you're pokes.
