The thing is that its a high launcher. So special counters like bayman's , Gen-Fu's, Eliot's, Kasumi's etc... don't fuck you up all the time
But then again you can use H+K but H+K doesn't launch has high has her taunt. Its value is nonetheless questionable I give it points for style though 
Except this taunt launcher can give you the first strike in the game no matter the opposing players grab speed since it can be initiated before it says "fight"
It also launches higher which I can almost guarantee will give you a better combo and be more likely to do the big spin air toss which can add A SHIT TON of environmental damage. Anytime you can inflict alot of combo damage with Tina is a huge boost since it almost always means your opponent will do anything to hold out of stun on you next combo launcher attempt which gives plenty of opportunities to MDT/TD potentially allowing you to end a round with 1 combo and 1 MDT.
Need to add this to my repertoire.

If you think they will parry during a stun do dash taunt
e.g 6K P 3KP opponent mid parrys to block CB dash Taunt 6PP6K 41236T (I think this juggle works on super heavyweights since you are at the stun threshold).
If you think they'll parry, just throw them.

That's...genius!!
lol, indeed. But the hitbox is so unreliable that it will probably whiff like, 99% of the time... unless you're a Tina Jedi like doa_eater, pac and mestizo
I appreciate the complement
but I have a ways to go before I am a Tina Jedi, I am but a padawan learner right now. When I master the art of MDT Tiger Driver, then maybe, but as of now I am low held out of stun so many times and that low hold is rarely TD punished as it should.
But even then I still need a strike game on par with killys, which in and of itself is mind boggling (though I want to gouge my eyes out at all the wiffed high holds he punches/kicks through instead of MDT'ing.)
Also I believe the taunt launcher will get you the first shot so long as the person is standing and walking at you and "up in your face" while you are standing still, if they are doing that but crouched do Tinas low offensive hold (japanese ocean bomb i believe) which should beat out any low strike in the game and grabs anyone crouching (is really great for helenas and brad wongs)
but if you are starting a match I find tina's 1P (the one that has to be charged) to be amazing, it will beat most highs and mids and put them in critical stun, I usually pump it out and see if they high hold (and you would be amazed to see how many people do this) and then I just get the easy MDT.
