Yeah Rachel is super fun, but kinda slow...

I know her basics and throw set ups, it's just idk if it's worth me using her. I don't think I could represent her well at all

You should do it! I believe in you!

Thank you :-D....Well, I'll try, I think I can make her work

Take this with a ton of salt, but i don't think her 66T alone is very good. It does no damage, and only guarentees stuff on Hi-counter (3P). PPT is good for mixups and mindgames though.

I agree, just 66T by itself isn't very good from what I've tested with it, but it's an OH so it can interrupt attacks which I like

I suppose i can offer some very bias tips: this is obvious but Rachel sort of struggles at long range she does have 2 good tools though 236P and 66K which still don't reach very far and are highly reactable. She struggles with traditional pressure (punching and kicking) but her PPT is amazing and her 66T is ok. (Sorry for the idiotic text wall XD)

No, it's fine! Thank your for the information, what you said is giving me a good idea of how to play her :-D

btw go check out Lulu's Rachel throw setup guide, that should also help.

Rachel may be slow, but makes up for it in power. She can easily get 85+ dmg off level 1 critical stun.

66t high counter will guarantee any moves that up to 14 frames. 66k is 20 frames along with 66K but has range and is safe.

Not only that but she can do 3K to wall splat and do her grab. Ending moves also in 6kk or 6pkk she recovers quickly and can run up to you to apply more pressure

You could also test your precision in attacks and test your brain power for higher limits. Pick Akira.

Rachel's not really slow, her 66T and ppt guarantees 3p on CH and Hic and it launches so it basically also guarantees her air throw.

Also I think you should ask @RenderingStar for Rachel tips and I also advice you to watch his Rachel guide. https://youtu.be/DXjIkLgjv-4
