toanenadiz Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Is Rachel so easy to beat that we don't even need a match-up thread for her? Although this match-up seems pretty simple and easy for Lambda. So, anyone got any strategies or nice Rachel combos to share?
severin Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 My answer to this matchup is the same answer the tager board chose for this matchup. Hit buttons, win. Though, if one aspect of the match is giving anybody trouble, I'd be more than happy to answer questions.
kenja0 Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Wind is the most annoying thing about this matchup since it can throw off a lot of Lambda's airgame. Wind will severely screw up spacing in the air or lobelia speed. j.2C with Wind hurts so don't misjudge when that can happen. 2C beats every random Act Parser (even A is unsafe). Tempest Dahlia is a good reversal for absorbing Lambda's D moves, surprisingly. 4D will trade. Sadly that's all Tempest Dahlia can do. Other than that, it is fairly difficult for Rachel to kill Lambda- Lambda has better projectile speed, zoning movement and can deal much more damage in a short amount of time. Rachel has to HAS TO rush down Lambda in order to deal sufficient damage and be safe from Lambda's projectile game. Gravity Seed fundamentals here. Rachel's 2C clashes with Gravity at a severe disadvantage (Lambda can attack after the clash). Try not to rush Rachel down- even though her close range is on par with Lambda's. Overall, Rachel had a bad matchup against Nu despite being the best character in CT. With Rachel's mega nerfs and Lambda's nerfs with new toys, the matchup falls into the abyss. 7-3 matchup for in Lambda's favor I would say.
