    Rachel General Discussion

    Sooo... 66K. Is this worth using anymore? +1 on block, is it even worth going for that? Normally I would pressure a teching opponent with it but +1 is nothing. Jacky gets that with a jab! And you get 43 damage (assuming opponent is mashing) and a loss of pressure (i.e. knockback) if you guess...

    Added backturned attacks. BT 4K is a strange one. Kinda looks like Tina.

    I don't think this exists. Launch too low, and back tech is available (now worse). Launch too high, and FT doesn't activate. It was always that way, but moreso now. Someone else can look for reviving it, but I think it's gone for good. Sure, you can put yourself at -2 or -3 with some setups...

    DOA5U "Come and Fight" Rachel Combo Thread

    I'm working on the wiki combo page. Hit me if you have suggestions or corrections, I'll be putting in Stage Combos soon. 3P, when breaking the threshold, can continue into the string airthrow. So, CH 3P, 3PPP+KT lands for 83 damage. ... on Super Heavyweights! Tasty. But it's only 2 points...

    4PP (second P) has been slowed down to 19 frames. i.e. 4PP is not the blindingly fast sidestep catch~deep stun it used to be. ... which is really a shame, 4PP was my %&#@. Man, it is going to take a while to unlearn this blender tech. Curse you, muscle memory.

    What desperately needs a buff is the new music. Yuck :confused:

    Uh oh, 4PP nerf affected some of her combos, too... She pretty much revolved around the blender, and now from what I can see, the blender is totally wrecked. (I mean unless you wanna play Russian Roulette and get throw punished.) I guess I'll be working on the combo page for a while and...

    What's "Big Damage"?

    Sometimes when playing one character, it can be easy to overlook (or undervalue) one's strengths. So, for the sake of objectivity, I would ask: What is "big damage" to you? - from Stun > Launch? - from Critical Burst? - on heavyweights? - on Alpha? - from holds? - from throws?

    Not to my knowledge. 9P was back techable before, I know this because SonicFox never switched to 6PK/3PP. Unless we were all doing it wrong. Oh Jesus, 4T, stomp whiff is up to -23 when teched. My sides. Make it stop... It seems like stomp use is gonna be very specialized at this speed and...

    Yeah, I didn't wanna talk about that. I mean you're right. You are right. It's just that 1PP/214P were unsafe to begin with so it doesn't really affect how I play. Did she ever? Wasn't it all back techable? 6KP and similar knockdowns seem the same, 6PPK/9K seem the same. Disadvantage seems...

    So. The default has come. This is financial armageddon. Oh, wait, no, that's just the sound of nerfs. Carry on. From what I can see, 6PK and 3PP are worthless now to set up the stomp, as stomp has so much recovery that you can get pwned with i21 moves, and the opponent can left side tech...

    Sharing Tech

    Share it! Share all of it. I'll even tell you my weakness. A rising tide lifts all boats. If everyone is committed to adapting, then by improving others, I in turn improve myself. And if I can come out on top, even when my opponent knows everything there is to know about me, even when there's...

    Helping Players To Get Better

    Well, this would be dependent on a number of factors- your own personal reaction time, ease of recognizing the move, what whiff punisher you are utilizing, etc... At first we would pick fairly arbitrary/unscientific numbers and try to whittle it down through reasoning and experience. Let's take...

    Helping Players To Get Better

    Frame data isn't for memorization purposes, it's for knowing your options at any one given point in time. Two examples: - The more disadvantage you have, the less options you will be able to take. This increases in severity until you get to the point of guaranteed punishment. So, being at -6...
