| ''Tamao learned to fight by trying to copy Yuka really hard until it somehow started working. She's not sure how that works either, but you don't see her complaining.'' | | ''Tamao learned to fight by watching Yuka on TV until she could throw lasers out of her hands.

| Yuka but with all the good things shaved off. Tamao sadly is the Dan Hibiki to Yuka's Ryu, while not specifically slotted as a joke character or even the worse character in the game she noticeably has issues compared to Yuka, let alone the rest of the cast. She still works as some of her buttons are respectable and LK Kusenkyaku is a very good tool, but with a lack of good chains and combos she will need to work harder to perform. That said, if you want a more traditional, but weakened, shoto that has some funky tools like a laser beam and command grab, Tamao can still be played.
| | Filling the role of plucky admirer-turned-copycat-fighter, Tamao is the Shingo Yabuki to Yuka's Kyo Kusanagi -- but regrettably, with no critical hits. While she's far from being a joke character or even the worst character in the game, Tamao suffers from having largely the same kit as her inspiration, but with most of the good bits shaved off. She's far from unworkable, though, thanks to some repsectable buttons and some fun tricks thanks to {{Tooltip|text=LK Kusenkyaku|hovertext=214LK}} and {{Tooltip|text=Lightning Crash|hovertext=641236P}}, though her lack of good chains and combos means your work will be cut out for you. That said, if you want a more traditional, but weakened, shoto that has some funky tools like a laser beam and command grab, you can do worse than Tamao. |

| | pros = | | | pros = |
| * Simple shoto styled gameplan | | * '''Simple:''' With Tamao, what you see is what you get. With the classic trio of shoto special moves (albeit toned down versions of them), Tamao can play a fairly effective gameplan with relatively little effort. |
| * LK Kusenkyaku is a great pressure tool that can whiff into throw mixups | | * '''Bag of Tricks:''' With LK Kusenkyaku giving her a tricky burst movement option, Tamao can advance on opponents in unexpected ways to set up funky grab mixups, which is helped by her command grab, {{Tooltip|text=Pokopoko Midare Uchi|hovertext=63214HP}}. |
| * Lighting Crash is a great super that can easily chip kill the opponent | | * '''Solid Metered Options:''' Tamao can put her meter to good use, thanks to tools like the 0F Unblockable {{Tooltip|text=EX Soryugeki|hovertext=623PP}} and the shockingly powerful Lightning Crash giving her plenty of opportunities to back up her gameplan. |
| | cons = | | | cons = |
| * Middling normals and lack of good ground chains | | * '''Weak Offense:''' While not completely helpless, Tamao certainly struggles in neutral thanks to set of usable, but underwhelming normals. Those normals also lack many useful chain routes, which only compounds Tamao's already middling combo game, leaving her offense overall fairly unrewarding and unremarkable. |
| * Significantly worse fireball and DP compared to Yuka | | * '''Gimmicky:''' Tamao has a handful of tricks at her disposal to keep opponents honest, but if they have their wits about them, they'll be able to catch on to her tricks with relative ease, leaving Tamao having to rely on her decidedly less effective scary basic tools for opening people up. |
| * Not particularly good damage
| | * '''Downgrade:''' There's no getting around it -- with a fireball that doesn't travel full screen, a DP with no invincibility, and a rushing kick attack that's better for whiffing than hitting with, Tamao is quite literally just a worse Yuka. |

If this move hits normally the 3rd kick will knockdown and the face slide will whiff, but if the opponent isn't ready for the 4th hit (still a mid, so it's not a mixup) or if all the kicks whiff before the face slide hits (nearly impossible as you would have to do this at nearly full screen) the opponent is launched in the air for a combo. Absolutely hilarious, but it will almost never hit.
