As someone who has never played Nicole I can't help you with that, lol.

I mean, a lot of moves were just rearranged to other inputs, but she's also flat out missing 2/3-3/4 of Nicole's moveset. Like its throwing me WAY off, that NEUTRAL P is the "straight punches", while FORWARD P is "swinging mids"

But she doesn't need the other options. She's already hella good as it is. Different inputs is just a matter of playing more.

Like I said, I loved Nicole and I'm trying to make do. They play so wildly different, its gonna take some time to learn what of her inputs allow for "straight" attacks lol.

Bayman if you want a Leon similar. Or branch out how you play Mila and Leon and actually try juggling despite how boring it is to you. I have a lot of fun getting juggled in with Mila just because I love watching health bars disappear.

I do use the occasional juggle (specifically, 7K>6P+K>6H+K>ppp6P) but I could care less about how much of the health bar disappears. I enjoy the effort I put into my damage, more than the straight damage itself.

It looks like they took Nicole's moveset and made it less redundant and more practical to me.

@Goarmagon exact opposite impression to me. They took away alot of the utility and instead made EVERYTHING set up the one juggle. Like I said, Nic used to be about tanking the opponent off the environment like Leon, while Rache is more about groundbouncing.

At least off first impressions.

That's the thing, if you want to play off the environment like Leon then just play Leon(not trying to be a dick here). I'm glad they made them more distinctive because Leon is the most unique cool looking character in the game IMO.

I know its just...I liked having a female be that huge and powerful lol. Rachel feels dinky by comparison. Plus again, I loved the cocky soldier characterization.

Yes, Rachel is just the perfect amount of badass.

I'm just trying to focus on her strikes and learn her other tools, because I would hate having to spam her juggle. Also I have to keep to the football helmet to avoid that terrible far side beehive lol.

Dude, she has the best hairstyle in DOA history ever.

ewwww no. she has that nasty Sarah Palin/Bayonetta/marge simpson 50s beehive.

Don't compare her to them, I know you're better than this.

Well look at it from the brightside, she has a new hairstyle in LR. Which I probably won't pick because her default is perfect.

lol I'll stick to the helmet, thanks.

Speaking of beehives.

I recommend you to try someone who is different than Leon and Mila. Or maybe, if you play Tag, maybe you can choose someone which have interactions with any of your mains.

Only others I have on my core fighters are the 4 ninjas, Nyo, Marie, Christie, Tina, and Rachel. Trying to figure out if anyone else is worth the 3 bucks to try as a secondary.
