For those who are just stumbling upon the thread i've done a beginner's guide for our vigorian bulldozer. This currently is a w.i.p
Timat's rebuke Tick throw set ups:
Say that fives times fast. These are some very effective sets up in order to scare your opponent into holding. Well you can use any throw but we all know this is the one you really want to do.
One of the most important things you have to learn about rachel is spacing, she is not a character you can just go in and mash. You have to have very good spacing and fundamentals in order to play her correctly.
Fundamentals for spacing and Korean Backdash
Distances on rachel's attacks
Stage Benefits:
Certain characters have unfair advantages in some stages. Rachel is one of them.
Stages that benefit rachel
This is a video against sarah, one of rachel's worst matchups. The main problem against sarah is her speed is very overwhelming as shown in the beginning of this video. This is why spacing is extremely important. If noticed you noticed at a certain distance this rachel is always testing the waters with 4k. If sarah gets in your face and starts an offense it literally will aggravating. The christie matchup plays very similar to this and so do the other virtua fighter characters.

This is a video against kasumi. This is actually showing how overwhelming someone mashing at you can be.This is also my day 1 rachel, plz don't judge. This is another example why spacing is important for you.
This is a video againstthe spawn of satan, i mean ayane. I'm not salty, i swear. I honestly believe this rachel's worst matchup. Due to ayane's crushes and speed rachel has an extremely hard time doing things against her. Due to the fact ayane can vortex and zone it makes rachel's life a living hell. During this video ayane twirled away from qcf+p and was able to punish her for it. The biggest thing i can tell you is to have the up most patience in this match up in particular.

- 1p, hcf+T
- 4pp2p, hcf+T
- 3t, hcf+t
- Immediately after rolling
- 6k, hcf+T
- 66t or ppt into hcf+T

Stage Benefits:

Stages that benefit rachel
- The lab, upon picking this stage you can do an extra 15 points worth of damage on a bnb
- Home, While rachel is no leon she can do massive damage in this stage.
- Ends of the earth, 1pp automatically counts as a counter hit and 2h+k is really godly in this scenario
- hcf+t, 9p,t,ppp(wall/furniture break),66p,8k,9k,9p,t, 6pkp or ppp into another wall/furniture and rinse and repeat
- Sometimes rachel will break the floor and will reset in her neutral position
- Dead or alive, due to rachel's lack of defense if she's cornered in this stage it can get very scary for you.
- Fighting entertainment, same reason as above.
- Forest, Due to rachel's difficulty getting in, the trees cause be rather irritating to deal with especially against zoners.
