Try them both out for a few days and see who you click with. I know I joke about being able to learn Rachel in half an hour, but you can learn Kokoro in half a day.

Actually, I insist that the stomp be buffed indirectly by giving her a way of securing it guaranteed, without the option of back teching it. Some other part of her can be nerfed (loop damage or reach), but I want the stomp to stay as an extremely strong force tech.

The thing with Rachel is that matchup data is pretty much discarded after she gets a solid hit in. The matchup we're discussing is really just how easily she can get that big hit. Characters like Ayane who can easily keep Rachel out for the entire round as well as give Rachel trouble up close...

That's a heavy burden. During a blockstring, the one blocking has many choices of when to sidestep. As the one doing the blockstring, you'd have to predict which one the enemy is going to chose. Basically, if they both choose the same spot, the attacker wins. If they choose different spots, the...

Oh, yeah, of course. For a game like DOA which has a good amount of players, I strongly encourage people to share tech and will do so myself. I just meant that I've done stuff before where more than two third of the page views are from me updating it.

Are you assuming that the one doing the sidestep does so randomly and the person striking does so carefully? That's no way to evaluate things. Obviously crouching sidesteps are stronger than regular ones, but that doesn't make sidesteps any weaker as an option to escape from Kokoro. Also, that...

Kokoro's a weak character in general. She's very strong against people who don't sidestep. Let me just remind everyone that outside of wakeup kicks, she has 4 tracking moves. The second kick in 3KK, the second punch in 6PP, the second punch in 46PP, and H+K. Three of those four are high. All are...

I play super poverty games where it's a miracle if there is someone else playing your character, 'cause there's usually more characters than players on the east coast. I'm just kind of used to no one caring about my tech. EDIT: And he means technology.

The problem I have with bounds is that a lot of them are only at threshold or near it, and at that point, it's pretty much worse than a launch in every way. Plus there's stuff like Hitomi's Osu! bound. Characters like Ein have actually useful bounds, though.

Kokoro is so calm and cool and collect.

You could juggle 6PP6K 8P 2T on vanilla 5 on mid weights as well. Also, pretty much everyone's throws (except Kokoro's) got buffed.

I had a fifteen minute discussion with someone about whether CRoa was S tier in Melty Blood. Turns out, he meant that CRoa wasn't S tier 'cause he was SS tier.

AE players don't actually time a lot of their setups. They whiff moves that take up certain amounts of time and then do the meaty as soon as possible afterwards so that the actual timing is negligeable. Ibuki can do 41236P 4MP j.HP for an easy safejump, for example. Thing about 2D games is that...

Like I said, crouching beats every option. Mid punch hurts Rachel more than it helps unless it kills. Also, a lot of characters can still force tech. GenFu even still has a vortex.

What's wrong with good okizeme? I don't understand.

Kokoro is underrated? She's overrated. You can't believe how many people I hit with blocked 66P+K~P+K 2P. She's only good if you never sidestep. Her blockstrings would probably be the scariest in the game in that case. But you can sidestep, and that ruins everything.

That's a bad idea. Gotta know what you're doing wrong to make sure you don't keep doing it. Also gotta keep replays so you know what setups you're bad against so you can try it out in training mode and look for holes. What's the point in keeping winning replays outside of funny situations or...

It's not about winning. It's about knowledge. If I play someone and they purposefully limit themselves, I don't know their real options and the real risk/reward of those options. That means that I'll develop bad habits for dealing with certain situations. And that is very bad, especially if I'm...

Uh, that's exactly her strategy. Get in, then rock mixup after mixup.

Akira? What about Alpha? Dead last in every single tier list.
