When that video first does shield skills into sharp sting, spaced right you can do st.H into shield.
After the shield skills you can relaunch instead of straight sharp sting. For Dorm extension you can either relaunch with j.MH swing MHS, land, dash back and immediately call dorm, then swing forward and pickup with one arrow (much tougher than most pickups but becomes easier with practice), or just jump back MMHS for less damage, but much easier spacing for the dorm extension, just call the assist then swing.
Once Dark Hole hits, with a single arrow you can do st.H shield skills and then sharp sting, instead of just the sting.
That’s about it. Tasky’s lows are wonderful for footsies, and you can open up a ton with just spacing and staggered cr.L’s. Without assists, you can confirm often, so I see this combo showing up frequently in a match. Sounds practical enough to me.
As for neutral with drones, I haven’t tried it at all, but if it’s anything like bolts, keep them still with arrows to protect the assist call, or call it during a string into blocked spidey swing arrow M, or maybe blocked shield skills sharp sting will keep them still long enough
Either way, then try to rush in behind it, make them respect you, and then maybe once they’ve gotten scared to attack throw right before the drones hit? Or maybe just doing what high/low game Tasky has with swing. I bet there’s crossup setups with that assist, but hell if I know how to do 'em. Remember, this is just brainstorming, so don’t take my word on anything Task/Drones related.
