Christie, Ayane & Kasumi all rape Rachel. Also her stomp got nerfed because it was fucking stupid and allowed noob Rachels to win with only 4 or 5 moves. I demonstrated a 99% damage reset on Yurlungur with the simplest shit last year.
"booboo" oO i'm saying that it doesn't matter if i play against ppl like sonicfox (christie, ihajin (ayane) or renderingstar (kasumi) if you're good enough with rachel you can defeat them not without a problem but it's possible...
winning with a character and the tier is two different things,
anyone can win with anyone. The whole point of tiers is to look at a characters tools and what they can do , that's the difference , rachel lacks a lot of good tools which a lot of the cast has that's what makes her lower tier
Christie, Ayane and Kasumi are all arguably S-Tier characters. Rachel isn't quite in their league (and interestingly SonicFox sub-main's Rachel). But yes, in DOA5U, technically everyone is viable. Lol, I'm still waiting for someone to win a tournament with Ein xD. Also, remember that how a character performs online is not a valid guage of how effective they'd be offline.
Rachel is 5-5 with Hayabusa. I put 6-4 in Hayabusa's favor as to not get all the poor widdle Rachel players butthurt, but it's honestly 5-5. And being 5-5 with Hayabusa is not a good sign, lol
GenFu's got that #3PP though, so we've already established that he isn't TrashFu. Besides, he's already considered B-Tier by the Japanese community, whereas Ayane is only C-Tier -_- #Buffayane.
