    Rachel General Discussion

    There's a 2K stomp and a 2K regular low kick. Having the same command and people using the same notation for both is confusing.

    doa5u impressions thread

    I'm going to borrow from what (EVO2011 MvC3 Champ) Jay "Viscant" Snyder has said. If a game is important enough to you that winning in it matters, pick the best character.

    Anti-Rachel strats, tips, and tricks thread.

    I mained Chun in 3S and Jin in T4. Are you seriously trying to lecture me on who is "broken?"

    Anti-Rachel strats, tips, and tricks thread.

    You got knocked down. You're supposed to be at a very big disadvantage when you get knocked down.

    Anti-Rachel strats, tips, and tricks thread.

    That's still hella better than any real vortex in the games where the term came from. 50/50, how about 90/10 with Mags/Psylocke resets or 70/30 with most SSFIV vortexes.

    Rachel's Top 10 moves

    41236T 6PKP 4PPPP 214P All of these (and a few more) can be used for vortex setups to put your opponent back on the ground. You just need to learn when to use which option.

    Anti-Rachel strats, tips, and tricks thread.

    Her vortex is pretty linear and predictable, especially if they're trying to knock you down in one string.

    Breaking Down the Game: A Training Suggestion for Aspiring Players

    The problem is that few folks seem to be interested in discussing character specific matchups.

    Found something incredibly annoying that killed MY fun immediately. Strats Needed

    Can we have the thread title changed as well into something less troll-baity. Also, this should be moved to DOA5U System Discussion.

    Why did they remove the ability to use right thumb stick.

    This, being able to input two opposing cardinal directions alone can lead to some wonky stuff (imagine being able to input mid punch hold and mid kick hold at nearly the same time). Similar cases have already been banned from competitive play in the past (e.g. Hit Boxes before the SOCD cleaner...

    why doesnt anyone counter?

    Missing the point. The stricter window means that the timing is more easily affected by latency online.

    why doesnt anyone counter?

    Because the timing for holds is stricter in this game (and in the 5 series in general). Any sort of lag makes counters riskier than normal. Combine that with the fact that not every move puts you in critical state and most people are finding combos that avoid critical state.

    Competitive balance: DOA5U mechanics changes

    No, instead of standing up after it, her opponent is back on the ground and can still force the ground guessing game unlike in vanilla 5 where they were forced up and had to defend. Maybe it's because I'm primarily a 2d guy, but I'm used to hard knockdowns being highly disadvantageous to the...

    Competitive balance: DOA5U mechanics changes

    I said more tools, I didn't say post knockdown setups meant to limit an opponents options (I believe 'Gief already has some anyway). Right now, with 5U, certain things that characters had (like Helena's pft from bokuho) are no longer there.

    Competitive balance: DOA5U mechanics changes

    Except they've already stated that they want to buff the lower tiered characters to that level. Granted, that doesn't mean more vortex, but it does mean giving people comparable tools. Unlike the case with 5U where it feels like tools were taken out.
