I can never find many rachel players so i really dont get enough feedback on my play from players who play with her. I have a half decent rachel, so i asked kuru to record one of my matches which had to be against ssmugen (who is a beast if you didnt know >_>). Im trying to elevate my game with her so any kind of criticism like you suck, what i should work on or implement into my game are all welcome and would be appreciated. :psyduck:

Needs moar 6a. After grab 7d dash 5b then air combo. Don't j2c above people so much. <_< I think you need to practice your bnbs a bit more, but more importantly the setups into them.

Btw, what recording setup does use? Geez that looks awesome.

That would be my setup. I use a Hauppauge HD-PVR. Output from the PS3 with the Official PS3 Component Cables (don't tell me why I ain't using HDMI, I can't with the HD-PVR, but yes I do own multiple HDMI cables). For software I use Sony Vegas for my editing and rendering.

Thanks for the tips for Prod1gy. Watching that match he posted feels like looking at one of my own matches. I play almost exactly like him, so I can also use every tip you give him :)

Yeah someone just told me the exact same thing, which confirms the fact of me starting over from scratch. Thanks for the tips, anymore would be much appreciated. :eng101:

@nstalkie we could play a few 1v1 sometimes if you want.

@prod1gy - It seems to be you know the superior value of the trash chair (2c) what I mostly love among Rachel's move. :psyduck: Improving several combos would drastically makes you stronger.

thanks man for the advice, ive been going through all my combos trying to clean them up some. After watching a couple of your vids imma try steal your rushdown style and add it into mine. :8/:

jeeeeeez... that corner lock he was pulling off was nasty!

He stands just out of range of her CA and slowly chips away at that barrier and guard meter. But as you can see in the last vid, it is vulnerable to reversals and it's totally possible to just mash IB for meter. Great pressuring tool though.

Those were great matches. I had a question though, against characters 3C frog combos don't work on such as Nu is it better to summon a frog and go with an air combo such as Aoniku was doing or is it all just preference. I noticed he consumed less wind by not having to wind a pumpkin on okieme like he would have in a frog combo, but he did a little less damage and maybe even built a little less meter.

I have a quick question. Around 0:23 when he does the 5A,5B,j.3DC(i think that what it is),j.3DC,5B etc

Ive tried to get the 2nd j.3dc to connect in front then go into BnB, but i always fly over. im thinking its because he blocks the 1st one in which sends him back a bit to connect with the 2nd. I was wondering if i was right or am i just doing something wrong.

5B j3DC 5B j3C

Second one is j3C not j3CD

I thought he was doing that because the frog was too far to combo.

After the j.2c, the frog will be on one side so Nu would be less likely to roll towards it. So it does have some use in getting her closer to the corner. I like how he uses held 3c to prevent rolls and manages to combo into it if she does roll.

I still fly over him mid screen but it does hit, i figure the game is telling me not to worry about.

Oh and where is that 2nd 5B unless you use that to cancel out of the 1st j3dc which i dont see how that works. :psyduck:

In that video, he touched the ground after doing j.3dc. Touching the ground kills most of your momentum so you don't fly over him, though it's still possible to do it without touching the ground with correct spacing.

ah i see it now, i didnt think he touched the ground at first. :psyduck:

I don't think it had to do with not being able to do a frog combo because of distance. He went into an air combo after the frog summon almost every time unless he had meter. I could see how it could be used to get Nu closer to the corner or as a tech trap though. I might try using Aoniku's combo for a little while and see if I can figure out any more benefits of it.

The all projectile corner blockstring was awesome. Seems really useful against characters without a DP if you can get the timing and distance down.

There needs to be a Youtube page I can subscribe to to get quality Rachel vids on a consistent basis... Once I actually own this game that will be my Youtube. :P
