Protip: If you play online switch your main to someone other than Rachel otherwise you're going to get declined a lot.

That doesn't solve her BS (the degree of which is very much debateable) but rather, likely, solves her as a character. As in there will no longer be any reason to play her over over characters. Her damage is good but not great. Her speed is legit terrible. Her "ranged" moves are either...

Those seem like reasonable changes. Ask me again in six months.

According to training mode 66K is a guard break that's +5 on "hit". Also I'm noticing that at least against the computer/training dummy Rachel that a lot of the stomp hit follow-ups whiff. To me it looks like her character model is so tall that when she gets up she takes a really big step back...

Whatever works. Injustice tournament isn't, allegedly, until 5pm (for some reason) so I should still be around.

IMO the don't repeat last opponent is there in the event that you run into someone with an aggressively terrible connection. This. To me online matches are an extension of training mode. Opponents = randomly programmed training dummies.

I guess make it if you can.

On call as in not there this Friday or on call as in not there for the monthly on Saturday? I am planning to be there Saturday if anyone cares though I have no idea what Xanadus idea/plans for DoA is at the moment.

SFIV's ranking system is acceptable. It is, however, not the best. The inability to filter by connection is its Achilles heel. Being able to filter by region is not the same thing. It also doesn't help that SFIV "lies" to the player about the quality of the opponents connection (but that's a...

This would certainly help with people cherry-picking their opponents. Let's put it this way. You know a games online ranked system is bad when it makes Street Fighter IV's online ranked system look good. IMO pretty much every company that makes fighting games that isn't Arc Systems Works...

I took the liberty of fixing your post to be more generalized. Seriously, unless it's a game breaking issue then IMO a game shouldn't be touched for at least a few months (as many a 6 in my ideal world). A great exercise in this area that was had recently was a large number of people calling...

Cool. Good info so far. I'm also trying to figure out how much (if any) of a place 1P+K~K has in her game. I almost never have people block it but there doesn't seem to be much to follow it up.

Main follow-ups to a teched stomp are 6PP, 6KP and 41236T, yes? I'm probably totally off but I feel like if someone is getting repeatedly tagged by either of the first two options that one should start focusing on the first option (6PP) then starting putting them in sitdown stun via 7K or 8K...

Pretty much this. I stopped playing 'vanilla' DoA5 after Mila got patched out of the game only picking up Ultimate DoA5 ~1 week ago. My week one Rachel (w/~1 year layoff from playing the game period) is winning at a ~60% clip because people don't stop pushing buttons.

There where still some people there as from what I recall no one told RugalB that there was going to be a Magic tournament that night (which incidentally reminded me how much I dislike MtG players). ~4-5 for SFIV, 3-4 for Injustice and UMvC3 and ~4 for DoA.

So, it looks like there hasn't been much activity in MD/VA in a while. At the moment I'm getting back into DoA5 in addition to Injustice and while I may not be able to bring my setup to Xanadu tomorrow I would be up for some games once I get there.

There actually are official Microsoft wired X-Box 360 controllers. They just aren't especially easy to find. They may no longer be making them (I don't know) but you can still find them for sale (mostly online). I also believe that StrikerSashi is correct. I'm like 99% sure that there are no...
