ArkiveZero Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 does anybody have any tips for rachel dittos? i got knocked out of loser brackets in a tourney yesterday because of dittos (which is weird because in every other game i'm really good at dittos....)
kro_ Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Prevent her from summoning pumpkin by keeping up the pressure and rush her down with your own pumpkin. Wind-boosted 236 a/b/c's are also useful for forcing a block, getting rid of the opponent's pumpkin, altering the trajectory of the opponent's seeds, and setting traps to quickly counter a summon via lightning. Well-timed 6a for anti-air and 6b for ground-to-ground are pretty important in this matchup too. Keep up the frog oki for as long as possible whenever you score a knockdown. Whoever manages wind best and manages to keep his or her pumpkin in play usually wins.
sogos Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 CH 6b dash 5b/6b 6cd j.c j.C whiffs on rachel during this combo, I go with CH 6b dash j.2c 5b 5cdc into the usual

Most of the Rachels I've run into don't know how to properly use wind outside of doing combos.

And for Rachels who don't know how retardedly easy it is to throw counter 6C on block, be sure to take advantage of that. IMO- 6D+C shouldn't be used in a Rachel mirror at all. You can't combo off of it because jC whiffs and if it's blocked, it's a free toss for your opponent unless you special cancel it. Other than that, try and catch them with 6B when they throw out lobelia/pumpkin/george. 2C also beats out 3C.
