Play Tao Taido Online
Pick a wild martial artist and pull off ridiculous combos in this forgotten arcade gem—smooth controls make every kick and flip feel satisfying.
Tao Taido is one of those arcade fighters that feels like it got lost in time—in a good way. You pick from these wild martial artists, each with their own exaggerated fighting style, and just go ham on each other in these vibrant, slightly surreal stages. The controls are smoother than you’d expect for an older game—no clunky inputs here, just clean kicks, flips, and the occasional screen-shaking special move.
What I love is how over-the-top it gets. One second you’re trading punches, the next you’re juggling someone mid-air with a combo that shouldn’t even work. The characters all feel distinct too—some are lightning-fast but fragile, others hit like trucks but move like they’re stuck in molasses. It’s the kind of game where you’ll lose track of time trying to master just one fighter’s weird, flashy techniques.
If you’re into arcade brawlers with personality, this one’s a hidden gem. Just don’t blame me when you start muttering “one more round” at 2 AM.
