[CS2] Rachel Loketest Discussion (Keep shit in this thread)

[tofurr]

Also rofl @6b breaking primers. If it did, that would be too much, I'd certainly abuse it. >>;

It'll be just like you and Tager matches, but for every match.

Anyways, I'm most excited about the damage buff, j.a overhead, and j.2c, everything else is just icing on the cake.

Also, excuse my ignorance, but what exactly does this mean, "2C hit stop increased"?

[GenoWhirl]

Lobelias better stay the same

I'm kind of curious about this too. I thought it might mean the opponent is frozen for longer when they hit the auto-guard, so that they have a lesser chance of recovering before the actual shock comes out. Think Tao bouncing off it with her drives. That's just my guess, though.

[Xtra_Zero]

Tempest Dalia? Good riddance. Hopefully they'll give her something actually cool like a lobelia that costs 50% and sticks a horizontal rod on the wall.

[NeoZero]

5CC a counter slide now...that going to take sometime to getting use to. But, the future is looking bright for us ^.^

[A.K.]

My friend got to go to the locketest and his friend tried mains her so this was her input on it.

Rachel.... Oh boy lots, she plays her so she noticed quite a bit. Better damage. A new gatteling (5B to 2B). 6A takes longer to use. 6B now auto-pulls you in on the opponent. 6B is JUMP CANCELABLE (Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) on block. 2C hitstun decreased (meaning less recovery) 5CC auto-slides without wind now. New combos already found fore her using the extra wind she saves. j2C got back it's CT physics, it can cancel into attacks on landing similar to CT's j2C. Lobellia's are whore's and come out even on hit (Think Carl's Vollante after it's fully charged and already moving). SUPPOSEDLY George has his own meter, and can be replaced anywhere as long as he still has health (This one I'm not sure of she was confused too). Tempest Daliah has either been removed or it's input is changed and hidden from arcade input images (Like Jin's Yukikaze wasn't on the image list).

2C hitstun decreased (meaning less recovery)

So that's probably what the translation meant.

5CC auto-slides without wind now.

HOLY SHIIIT

SUPPOSEDLY George has his own meter, and can be replaced anywhere as long as he still has health

So he's kind of like Nirvana?

[NeoZero]

So he's kind of like Nirvana?

[tofurr]

I'm going to guess it's something like this; he stays on the screen till either his health depletes or he activates and you can summon him until either one of those things happens. Once his health depletes or he activates, there's a cool off time for his meter to regenerate?

[Alzarath]

lol @ 5cc.

[A.K.]

Yeah, that's what his friend could probably come close to explaining. She didn't quite know how to put it, cause as he said in the quote she was confused on this as well.

[Alex073088]

dude i have found so many usefulness to tempest daliha, they should buff it allowing her to have the level 4 wind effect at all times, i love its two guard libra removal, meaning hazama cannot runaway after bursting even once. i think a damage incrased would be nice, and if rachel recovered faster it would be good.

j.2c needs to be an overhead seriously, i it be rather be cs j.2c(special cancelable on landing) then, the cs2 j.2c being cancelable on block but no an overhead? it would kinda be pointless to use, but atleast if your in the air you can wind level 3 j.2c take off two libras and then pressure them saftely.

And i dont like the idea of people coming back to rachel now thats she buffed. if you like the character you should have stayed with her through thick and thin not drop her like unwanted trash.

[K2]

ya, agree u stay with rachel cuz u love her, not from a bunch of top tier whores

ja overhead and 5b>2b means more weak bnb combo, but with dmg buff it should be fine, over 2k

j2c not an overhead just takes out one of the high dmg protential starter =\

now they u can reset frog and cancel j2c, she will have new combos and differernt playing style

[Alzarath]

so 6b pulling you in... thats normal hit?

we don't really need that but w/e.

edit: tbh I don't agree w/ j.2c being cancellable on block either, a bit overboard (and part of the problem w/ ct rachel).

[Jason D.]

So both 6B and 5CC will slide you forward without having to use a wind? Is that what people are saying, here? That's... interesting. Certainly makes things easier, but... kind of takes away the fun, doesn't it?

[NeoZero]

I can see the flock of ppl coming back to her now =/

[NoelRin]

Uhh, maybe they're secretly developing a new distortion for Rachel? Be a bit boring for her to go back with one distortion (yeah, supers aren't everything, but still).

Also, 5CC windless is just too lovely.

On the topic of wind, did they change her wind gauge by any chance?

[tofurr]

Think of the more fun things you can do with that extra wind stock.

Also, I was reading the BB General news thread, and one of the translations says her wind takes longer to regenerate so I guess it's a good thing you can slide without wind now, that is if the translation is correct.

jA hits mid [translator: if it's a change, I'd say it's an overhead? You can block it crouching in 1.01, right?]

6B slides on CH. Untechable time has been reduced: if you're in the corner, you can't combo unless you really rush.

j2C hits high, can be cancelled to other attacks when you land.

You can reposition George. He has a gauge now.

Cost performance of using wind has gotten worse considering its recovery. [translator: Think I got closer this time. 相対的な風回復のコスパ悪く]

Tempest Dahlia? What's that...? [literally translated]

[Alex073088]

that would suck horrendus balls if the winds recovery was nerfed it already hard as shit to reclaim wind while avoided chains(hazama and swords nu)

Also the fucking pumpkin needs BUFFING badly!

[Pokachu]

I can see the flock of ppl coming back to her now =/

Now this is why I'm quitting her after the patch :/..

[Alex073088]

then you were already playing rachel for the wrong reason. if you like her stick with her no matter how many players flock back to re-use her now that she isnt complete shit.

[A.K.]

You guys want me to ask my friend anything else on her?

[tofurr]

Yes, can George still be winded to the opponent? I'd like to also know how much of a damage buff she got, so maybe get a figure for a BBL combo, like 5b, 5cc/5cdc, 236b, 66, 6a, BBL~? Also, mess with some 3c? Like if 3c9d can go into 6c again and etc.

[NeoZero]

This^^^

I'm already hearing a bunch of people on PSN saying there thinking off going back to her. It up sets me a little bcuz we are the ones going throu all the pain and suffering, but it shouldn't upset someone enough to quit her.

5CC being a windless combo, I'm already enjoying that =). Rachel just needs to survive 2 more test >.<.

Ahh i would love to know how much her bnb does now.

[A.K.]

Remember though most of her BNB's don't work anymore...or been slightly altered. Don't know if 6A would be working in it now, since its slower.
