Tanto's got a lot of drive power, but it's useless if he doesn't get under. We take 0.9/12 ~= 13 seconds to pierce Tanto's armour, so we just need to get a lock in once. Begin with the crusher partially lowered. Tanto's a smol boi, so we wanna cut down that crush time as much as possible. Play defensive in our portion of the arena, letting them come in. Once Tanto's coming in, adjust our angle to sneak under theirs and grab down. Either we catch a tyre, in which case we more or less instantly win, we catch their armour and pierce through whilst stuffing them into the spikes, or, if the writer gave them the cleft wedge config, we manage to loop the crusher around their middle, in which case we feed their wedge tips into the drums to ensure an easy time in future encounters and racking up some damage. If Tanto gets under, see if we can J-hook away, then play a little offensive to see if we can score a grab, or force them back to a neutral position, in which case we return to normal strats. If we roll over, srimech asap. It counts as a 4-power arm, so it's pretty speedy to do, for once.
tl;dr: keep the match state nice and simple. Bring them into our wedge, get a grab and capitalize on it.
