Thank you I guess I can't be offensive with her due to her speed do you have any tips against Ninjas for using Spartan..I mean Rachel?
In terms of counterpoking, you can use 236p, 4k and 66k if you can force a whiff from the opponent. If you know your opponent's strings and you know they will do the high move in the string, you can 1p to duck under it. There is going to be moments where you would want to press buttons in neutral but you have to remember that they will have faster buttons than you so you have to learn to respect/disrespect their options . 66T is useful if you know how to use it. 4P is useful if they are trying to sidestep you. I would suggest looking up matches from Kwiggles, Sonicfox, Lopedo and Airgear. You might be able to pick up some stuff from them.

Yeah Rachel in general is a slower character. Also have to be careful where you place the negative GB properties on some of her moves due to the fact that faster character don't really have to respect them since it's advantage on their side. Most situations, you are left in free cancelling moves.

yes, with rachel u just have to inch your way towards the opponent so basically it depends on how good your spacing skills are .

I feel like I'm not making progress with her I think I need more patience in matches

It may vary character by character using Rachel. There are some characters she can definitely adjust with less read commitment than others, whereas other characters may have more speed priority, advantage, and overall better rewards that may force Rachel to commit to more reading.

You could ask what type of characters you are having issues with however the answer could hold many possibilities as it may be towards theirs/your skill level or the character they are using. Could go either way.

You're right I guess it's my play style I guess I can't just throw jabs out with her like kasumi can. I have to make every move count and read my opponents. Is anyone on PS4 that can train me or give me critique?
