I said Great... not Good.
More importantly if you disagree but offer no evidence to the contrary then... well... I'm going to stop here before I say something hurtful and derail this whole thing.
Lastly I don't try to judge anything by whether it was unintentional or not.
Seriously what difference does it make... if something works then it works...if it doesn't then it doesn't. Doesn't matter if it was by accident.
Don't believe me ? Try Lootboxes, Microtransaction or Day 1 DLC... and...
@Camel with 2 thumbs
So could Bayman... infact his launchers were better than Rachel's... they were faster... which means even though he only gets +2 and Rachel gets +7... thats all he needed for his next launcher to be uncontested.... not his next jab mind you... his next Launcher.
If she goes for that setup then a simple back tech into A Fuzzy Guard can swing the advabtage back in your favour. And from there its Business as usual.
As for what she lacks... She doesn't have that great string manipulation or hyper advantageous Guard Breaks. They weren't bad but they weren't...
@Radiance
Thats exactly the point I'm trying to make with Rachel.... she couldn't easily just get the Launch either... really the whole stomp thing was only an issue if you disrespected the Advantage from either outcome and got Counter Hit launched into yet another Option Select...
Thats where Bayman comes in... If his ground throw connects then you can deliberately let the 2nd part of the multi-throw get Broken for that +3 Advantage. Mila could and still can do the same thing for +0.
More importantly, Could Rachel even setup unholdables off a successful Stomp ?
I don't...

With The exception of maybe Bass and Nyotengo All the characters with Ground Grabs could achieve that coveted +7 if they could just get the launch... just like Rachel.
Tina has one thats +7, a couple that are +6 and a few more...
Oh yeah... that happened to me just two weeks ago....
I got 93% on a Test and when I submitted it it claimed I got ZERO.
I didn't really care because only the Final Exam actually counts so I just let the ZERO slide.
I aint dealing with that Headache.
Sorry just not seeing it... And I'm pretty Sure Mila had OS' s that could match that same 7 Frame Advantage.... Tina too.
Was she Brain dead... Yep, No Doubt about it... did she break the game ? Not from what I've seen...
You could still take on the best Rachel players with whomever you...
Rule Number of Fighting Games.... Its never Your Fault. Always blame the controls.
Atleast thats what I do... ;)
Seriously though most Fighting Games deliberately make their controls convoluted and have the nerve to call it Deep and its for that reason I never take responsibility when shit...
Zangief & Mika could do it anywhere too.... granted those where command throws so no Option Select there.
Really Rachel's stomp didn't seem any different from Mila's or Bayman's Ground Throw Option Selects....
You know what you could do...
Next time one of your 33Inputs go wrong.... try to record it.... and see if you can make go wrong in Training Mode where you can see your inputs at the bottom of the screen.
That should give us a better idea of what's happening.
Hmmmmm.... I honestly don't know.... I've never had issues with 1379 inputs in DoA just because the Input Detection is tuned so perfectly.
For example my Xbox 360 controller is rubbish for 11/33 inputs but I don't have issues with it.... unless I'm playing someone like Eliot whos got 3P, (3)P...
