Free Step Dodge

not really, you kinda just have to play DOA with her now, she still has deep ass stuns and sit down stuns for days

Thanks for telling me, a lot of Rachels I fought don't really use the vortex strategy, so I was wondering what happened all of a sudden. It used to be the big thing several months ago

If you mean the stomp, then yea. People still use it. It's just negative if it whiffs,nd a lot of people won't go for it.

@ColonelColver and one certain occasions, it'll connect, but the full attack won't finish, and the opponent can just get up like normal...it's weird.

i've seen that. that's a glitch worth looking into.

now you have to use the stomp psychologically, use it to make them think you'll use it, and once they stop doing wake up kicks, time 4 oki, and when they start doing kicks again, guaranteed stomps

Her stomp can become safe if you use the appropriate set up . Of course it can be strike punished but it would only lleave her -5

yeah, i don't know nothing about stomp set ups, i just try to make them scared of it then take advantage of the fear

Oh i know stomp set ups haha & thhats a way to do it too

@RenderingStar I like the stomp because you're opponent basically has to choose their poison:eat a combo, or get thrown again, eat an air combo, and get vortexed again. I love it!

Nope stomp is nowhere near used now. I remember when Rachel came out and pretty much everyone and their grandmother had a pocket Rachel because of how easy and effective she was at the time. Ironic TN did a rare effective game balance patch not too long after to tone it down so you have to think more when using it.
