Kuuhaku Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Poor Rachel. Someone takes her loli niche and now someone takes her twin tails niche. :<
YukiBlue Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I've been fooling around with Rachel for a while, and recently decided to really try and learn her. I've played everyone a ton and still have not found 2 characters that really interest me, I've got Mu, and hopefully Rachel, She's damn awesome, But pretty tricky. Respect for Rachel players. Seriously, I was watching Kuro Hane and I accidentally the whole PC
Chazmobile Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Go ahead and put time into learning her properly bro, one of the most worthwhile and fun characters ever for me. Plus, she has a special place in my heart because she's posh, pseudo-british and doesn't afraid of anything. AAAAANNND Nago is possibly the funniest thing to happen to fighting games, I love that cat. We need more Rachel players anyway, she doesn't get the global love she deserves.
YukiBlue Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 She's unique and I love that, But with characters such as Mu and Rachel, Who do rely a lot on Zoning and Drive usage, I find it really hard fighting Characters such as Ragna and Bang, Who make my zoning look like crap. I can walk into a lobby and make people quit when I pick Hazama, But I just don't really enjoy that, I want to learn these unique characters and become awesome with them, but it's so discouraging getting salty because some Scrub Ragna/Noel player bodies me. Hmm, I think I'll go read up and watch some videos. It can be done, I'm not exactly patient. But I'm british, that instantly makes me able to overcome any obstacle. I'll stick with her for now.
Chazmobile Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Believe you me good sir, once you learn Rachel, you'll learn that she is one of the most versatile characters in the game. Her rushdown is scary as once you figure it out and wind management isn't that bad once you get the hang of it, heck her new regen rate means that you get most of it back after 1 knockdown in the corner. Oh, and did I mention that her corner lockdown game is the most satisfying thing to pull off in this game? It's easily on par with learning FRKZ. Come to think about it, I could really, REALLY do with some Hazama experience seeing as I have 0 matchup exp against the fellow, and I'm totally free to him. Plus, you seem like a nice guy, would you care to add me on XBL for some matches in the future? I'll be around from this sunday onwards so just flip me a friend request.
YukiBlue Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Sure I'd love to play you. Although if my Arcana Heart 3 comes tomorrow/before sunday im most likely shutting off my social life to play it :') I've sent you a friend request. Invite me whenever you like!
Chazmobile Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Yeah, i'm gonna get Arcana as soon as I get back from Turkey on saturday. Gonna dedicate some time to learn Scharl (love the psychos) and Weiss, plus it's a completely new game for me, so i'm sure it'll live up to it's rad reviews. Looking forward to having some games with you soon, maybe by then i will have gotten a bit more proficient with stick. =/
TD Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 gonna see how good glide throw is for rach. hope l dont fail

Sticks are a pain to learn but the reward is well worth the bullshit you go through. I bought my TE in...March I think? And now it's second nature. First 2 weeks were lame, Though.
[SpA]Relentless Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I find it really hard fighting Characters such as Ragna and Bang, Who make my zoning look like crap. Aren't they like the easiest characters to zone in this game? EDIT: nvm, just saw you said "your" zoning^^
YukiBlue Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Regardless of that, I find it difficult. I come from a Street Fighter background where I played nobody but Balrog/Boxer, I've always had trouble dealing with Rushdown characters.
[SpA]Relentless Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I also come from a Street Fighter background and had/have trouble with everyone that mashes into my blockstrings. That's why I love BlazBlue :>
YukiBlue Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 That's why I prefer to do my shit from full screen <3

TD Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 actually vs rach, it's supposedly in her favor - 5.5 or 6.0. l believe it. but thats if you consider her a zoner over a rtsd char... hehe

LuminAbyss Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 The range of Ragna's legs make zoners jealous.
