I'm tellin' ya, just make her airthrow only connect when the opponent is launched at full threshold.

They definitely need to do something about the risk/reward for the stomp, a weight change would probably be the most reasonable, maybe to mid height so when you guess right and get a launch you can actually do damage.
This and lowered launch height on her launching throws on Normal Throw and Counter (Hi-Counter I can deal with). You shouldn't be able to get a strike in against super-heavies AND the air throw on anything but Threshold 3 or Hi-Counter launches when they are launched by her throws (or at all really). I just have that problem with her in general, her throw launchers shouldn't be as good as they are (I honestly would expect a change to Leon's, Lisa's, Tina's, and Bass' air throw height requirements if this were to happen to Rachel).
Edit: 1PP against Super-heavies into air throw ON NORMAL ******* HIT is absolute bullshit.
Edit 2: Hm...wrong thread, my bad.

Just change the property of the airthrow so 1. It knds with a guess stomp stayers or whiff stomp on techers giving 0-+2 on whiiff, whatever one sounds more reasonable.
or
2. reduce the bounce height on airthrow so only 6PK will hit and 9P will whiff, with the 6PK not letting her to stomp afterwards on tech (2K comes out instead) unless they stay grounded.
or
3. change the airthrow notation to 41236T and make it so she reaches diagonally upward like tinas 41236T so she has to throw straight away after a launch for CB only and won't work on her grapple throw.

She forces nitaku, people can't deal with it. If people are gonna complain about something it should be the fact that low circular sweeps force nitaku on normal hit, not that Rachel has a grab mix up, air throws, or fuzzyable grab strings. Mashing out flowcharts doesn't work when you're in nitaku...

anticpate your oppent by noticing there attack patterns most grapple players have 1 u have to ply more on reaction and less on guess vs rachel thats pretty much the size of it
It's okay, I'm sure he's played Grand Theft Auto with Arturo in Yugoslavian theaters.
People seriously need to stop whining about Rachel. Most of the players who do don't even know how to play this game. The play I see people do online is pathetic.

There is other ways to beat Rachel instead of "pick Christie" or "pick a VF character". I realized keeping her under pressure works. I was Lisa, yes Lisa, a very slow character, and I just kept this Rachel player under pressure and he couldn't do anything. Now he wasn't a scrub he was a decent player. But all I did was keep him in mixups left and right. Yea he got me here and there in some rounds but he didn't win 1 round. I guess that works against Rachel.
@Awesmic, every post I make lately you seem to act like I'm always attacking YOU. Stop responding to my post with that attitude. You know how I feel about you and if I was talking about you I would let you know. Now seriously just stop.
On another note my problem with the Rachel bitching is most of the people who is bitching about her doesn't know why they are besides the fact they lose to her. If you're going to whine nerf I suggest you give a logical suggestion that may fix the character to being good without whatever is "bad" about her. If you can't do that(which most of you can't obviously) don't be yelling nerfs, or buffs. That's how games get ruined.

It doesn't help that some of these tournament players say "I don't care if I have to lame people out with Rachel" and that coming from the tournament player who others will be watching and listening to will make them complain about Rachel because this good player says she is so she is.
