Must be nice to have a character this safe. She still seems like a very solid character.
With things like Christie SS getting nerfed (loses to tracking mids) she's going to have better match ups against some or her worst ones.
Actually she got buffed mostly and became super lightweight.
Yeah Rachel is heavily disadvantaged aganst faster characters. No more than other grapplers.
I have NAT type 2(my PS3 is connected directly to my router), you said you had 1. You could try looking up NAT types and seeing if that's what is causing it.
