I've had the same experience actually. Rachel > Nyo > Raidou. In that order.

So question, what exactly does make Rachael better, or rather more usable than Nyo and Raidou?

It's probably too long to explain in one post, but overall Rachel has better speed, setups, damage and better tools in general. She might also be more popular judging by her appearance, personality, etc.

I see. Interesting.

I can explain Rachel's popularity quite easily. 1PP online.

Rachel is pretty fucking good and Nyo is not good. Have no experience with Raidou. Also Rachels basics are easy.

Yeah Jaimy appearance is always important. If Raidou was a hot grill I would check him out.

And Rachel is a badass.

It's not just that,Rachel out of all the 3 characters appeared as a brand new character with the release of DOA5U,when she was super strong,so many people picked her up.Nyo appeared as the last dlc character in DOA5U,and Raidou is a LR character.Plus,out of the 3 characters,she is the one that in my opinion is the easiest to master.

So players have yet to crack the surface of Nyo and Raidou? I know Raidou is a bit more new and Nyo is still kinda new too.

Nyo is a really good character, Codemaster knows all the trickery. Rachel is just very easy to pick up, straightforward to use and shits out tons of damage. Raidou is plain garbage.

Well Raidou IS a copycat. Don't know if that would be the reason(probably isn't). I don't know much about the guy neither, but who knows, maybe in the future he'll get better?

Raidou is plain garbage? Nah.

Raidou can definitely hold his own. I was able to do 240+ damage combos on Alpha using Raidou WITHOUT using the environment.

@DoANoob I missed your comment but you're right about Raidou being a copycat, therefore being less used. At least for me it's that way.

A Rachel player can juggle you for a TON of damage, the other 2 I'm not so certain.
