chun_li1 Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 It's most likely ground slide, considering they're talking about C lobelia combos. Auto 5cdc would honestly be retarded. HEY GUIZE! LETS TAKE AWAY 1/2 THE NEED 4 WIND MANAGMENT LULZ!!!1! Agreed. I'm honestly hoping this doesn't stick, though I get why they did it. Didnt they increase wind recovery some more? would be a Ok trade, if 5CC no longer required Wind.
choysauce Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 yeah, fuk this, ima just wait till they're done and see what happens
Konton Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Wind regen is worse now, but she has her instant overhead mix-up again. Not having to use wind for 5cc and slower overall wind recovery balances out how many j.2c's you can do in any given blockstring in any given match. You will also want to conserve wind for fatal j.2c's for big damage. Smart move IMO. Only problem I see is that pumpkin doesn't seem worth the wind any more.
Sindelian Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Yeah, I'm not liking the wind recovery change. In BBCS, my main problem was that either I had all of my wind or none of my wind. The full wind guage was only because it was the beginning of the match or I stayed grounded which caused quite a few problems. They've practically made the pumpkin useless at this point.
martessprak Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 Well,I got what I wanted beck so I'm pleased.
martessprak Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 Well,I got what I wanted back so I'm pleased. fixed
blakmaphia Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 I dont know about anyone else but i'm kinda mad about this. It was fun pwning in rooms with the lowest tier character. After this, well she will just be played by everyone and all the complaints of how busted she is will emerge again. Basically CT all over again.
Soniti Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 How many times did you "pwn" with her in a high level BB tournament? 0? Kay.
Alzarath Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 I'm pretty sure I can beat scrubs on netplay w/ troll rachel tactics too. Just sayin.
calendula Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 I doubt that Rachel there will be a flock of rachel players when the patch arrives. Back in CT even though she's OP only a handful of people can unleash her beastly status. Scrubs can just roll over and die,

After this, well she will just be played by everyone and all the complaints of how busted she is will emerge again. Basically CT all over again. lol when i was online there were only like 6000 players logged that used rachel in ct,while there were almost 50000 ragna noel and jin players combined. and just how many people do you think mained her?the only character that was used less than her i think was carl. How many times did you "pwn" with her in a high level BB tournament? 0? Kay. I have to agree with what soniti says, us rachel mainers need to get these buffs if we ever want to do more than troll scrubs.If you just play fighting games to brag about winning with bottom tier characters then just pick the next one when the patch comes.

I doubt that Rachel there will be a flock of rachel players when the patch arrives. Back in CT even though she's OP only a handful of people can unleash her beastly status. This. Rachel was never a popular character even if she was supposedly top tier in CT. She is too hard to play for most people.
Kuuhaku Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Yeah... I'm getting really tired of people saying that. Not many people played her in CT even when one could brainlessly get 6-7k damage and had instant overheads. Nevermind if you knew what you were doing, you could get 14k damage. As for people who wanted to play competitively and switched, more power to them. I can perfectly understand why sticking to the competitive scene is more important than hopelessly clinging to a character that's not going anywhere. The only reason why I didn't switch is simply because I tried out the cast and I didn't like anyone. >_>;
blakmaphia Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Apparently Im wrong then. All I hear in the player rooms is how everyone is switching after the patch. My bad then.
NeoZero Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 So I'm taking there's no loktest video out of Rachel yet? I can't seem to find any. What are the Japanese doing not recording some Rachel loktest vidz? >=0
choysauce Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 yeah i really did try switching after using cs rachel for so long (ever since arcade first came out til console release). kept getting scrubbed out by bangs and litchi's, been trying mu, who is fun, but just doesn't feel as right to me as rachel. so i'm so hype for her buffs! just give back CT hitbox for catryuken and a little less recovery on pumpkin summon and i'm good. anything else is just icing~
TD Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 There was like 10 CT Rachels on psn including myself, about 6 of us were good. No ones going backward to Rach come the patch, except those truly devoted. Gli and geno, i'm hanging in there, a few others... And rach is harder in CT imo. just sayin anyway, loving this loke. Just give me my overhead and pumpkin back and i'll be golden-
Sindelian Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 She is most certainly harder in CT than in CS. In CT you had more stuff to learn, and CS they didn't exist. Just because they were top tier tactics doesn't mean they're a cakewalk. 2d, lvl 2 dj.2c is the only challenging new strat you had to learn with Rach in CS.
TD Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Hardly. Shit aint even as hard as 6622a. l STILL can't get that consistantly, after months of practice.
GenoWhirl Posted October 8, 2010 Author Posted October 8, 2010 It's funny because I may actually main Valk even after patch
GenoWhirl Posted October 9, 2010 Author Posted October 9, 2010 From Oct. 8 Loketest. This is all we got. - Pumpkin buffed, maybe. Doesn't go away on hit? Can't really tell. -レイチェルはやっとテンペストダリア強化。発生がかなり早く山田化。5Bからつながる -風回復初めはものすごく遅くなった。かわりに勢いがつくまでの時間が早く 6AがAMショーから弱くなった。アーマー付くのが遅いっぽい
tofurr Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 What I got from the blog is that Pumpkin is really fast now The other stuff: Tempest Dahlia is stronger Something about 5b? Wind Recovery is really slow 6a was weakened from the first test, something about it's armor?
kirbster Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 They had to tone down 6A a bit if it was back like in CT. As long as it's actually better than in CS (read : useful), I'll be happy.
Varamathras Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 As long as I can punch airdashing Hakumen's out of the sky.
