Got a thread in the 5U general section everyone here should look at.
Anti-Rachel strats, tips, and tricks thread.
- Thread starter DR2K
- Start date
Or you've just been fighting scrubby Rachels.
Why couldn't Bass be this good? :C

Well the only thing they are talking about nerfing on Rachel, is how easily you can get her stomp. I've been told that you can basically get it off of EVERYTHING right now... and on top of that it's +15. idk if I were -15 every time I got off the ground, I'd be pissed too lol. Since I have it now, why shouldn't I abuse it... have we seen how easy it is to play Momiji!?
Do you really want Tina players spamming 66P+K or Lisa's spamming 236P? If so start a petition and send it to TN... they probably won't listen but hey maybe they'll just nerf someone else (or just everyone else LOL)

i think it's kind of silly that rachel is at plus frames (11?) when she whiffs a ground attack. if that was brad's 
, he would be in a crouching state for 60-80 frames. that's a free whatever-the-hell-you-want. not to mention she has the most damaging in the game.
low risk, high reward.

She's a Vigoorian. She should be swinging Ayane around by the ankle as a makeshift giant club whilst singing a song of death that causes the hearts of everyone nearby to explode out of sheer, mindless fear.
That said, Brad's 8p is a special case for slowness. I keep thinking Rachel's 2K should be a ground throw command - it just feels like it should be one given its attributes.

If it would be too good if it were positive, then it should just not be a guard break.

Something from facebook about this," The blender is bad, but beatable. You guys need to step her shitty untracking mids, take a risk and grab after pp every once in a while, hold her slow ass launchers, and make the bitch whiff and eat her up afterwards.
I dont play the bitch, and like i said many times before if she was a middleweight she would get scorched every time. Lets use our brains to beat something, instead of begging for a patch of some sort before we even figure out what is wrong with everyone else. Jacky needs help this guy gets blown up for nothing. Lets use our minds!! My gt on xbox is fumetsu gaisut0<-- zero. Lab partners are always welcome."

Starting the blender seems to be the biggest problem. Your fundamentals and defense have to be solid since Rachel can't outspeed her way into an offense...
If the stomp hits you have advantage for days. But, if they back tech, you're vulnerable to step (main options being 6P/6K). If you try to 4P or OH to stop it at the wrong time you'll get jabbed out or worse.
Feel free to call me out/correct me, but it seems you have to wait for a mistake or make a prediction then ride the momentum through. You really can't start anything by yourself unless the other guy is asleep.

Fuzzy guarding does not work on Rachel if the player is using the correct throw and timing. Crouch got slowed down, and this includes crouch dash.
The weakness you believe you have found is false.
Online you will will not see perfect throw connection as often due to the delay messing up the timing.

how slow is crouch? why did they buff it in vanilla and then nerf in 5u? One step forward and one step back. Jesus whoever play tests DOA needs a reality check.

The same reason they removed force techs in 1.03, then re-introduced them in 1.03a, then removed them again in 5U.

Leave
alone!! You guys want to say adapt to Alpha and Rachel. Adapt to Sarah. Not upset at you or anything just saying. I'm tired of you guys bitching and moaning about how OP Sarah is. From where I'm seeing things, if you want Alpha banned, we might as well ban Sarah and Rachel for similar reasons. Other characters like Christie have giant advantages over the characters just like Sarah. Ok ok Sarah is OP but damn... (And Rawbie, I wasn't directing that at you, it's all in general).

So, today I managed to get Rachel`s FT kick to miss every time, allowing a wake up kick. I backwards teched as soon as I hit the ground, but instead of it missing and leaving Rachel at +frames, I got hit every time, but the actually kick missed. I`m not sure if it was do to netcode or if it is something that can be repeated offline. It needs more testing.
