Ginseng Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Discuss the Tsubaki vs Rachel matchup here. Things to watch out for: Minor zoning.Rachel's corner game.Rachel's 2C/cat chair. Things you can use: You can use your B specials to guard point projectiles or go through them.
Kiba Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 I found that 22B guard points sword iris nicely. Against Rachel you can combo your air throw into j214C - 2CC ETC. You could also sometimes follow up a J.214C after a J.214D but it only really works if you kept the combo quite short. I noticed Rachel's CDD - George follow up works on Tsubaki but sometimes the CDD - 236B misses Tsubaki. I wouldn't advise it but sometimes a nicely times DP gets you out of the corner situtation. 3C dispatches that nasty George of hers if she happens to move it close to you. Feel free to charge for a while against her though. I mainly use 2D because Rachel's pineapples can get to you real fast.
Relunx Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Is there anything I can do if I face against a 236 rachel spammer, besides trying to time my 236b and dash-ins? Relunx
Rhiya Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Feel free to charge for a while against her though. I mainly use 2D because Rachel's pineapples can get to you real fast. After playing against a Rachel for a while, I noticed that the risk/reward for charging in this matchup is really skewed. You can literally charge with 5D and sit there, then not care if you get hit because Rachel's damage output is generally so low (especially off zoning) that doing this once or twice plain won't matter in the long run.
