Okay so Rachel player here.
Tager vs Rachel is at best 5:5, at worst, 6:4.
If you land a random sword iris or Lobelia, that's atleast loli 1.9k there or you get time to summon pumpkin or whatever.
Fork is not useless. You can get 3.6K from a CH fork into LV 4 TD. And in this match-up, this happens a lot.
Even if you have no meter, you can link 5A if you're close enough from 6B into a 2.4k combo or oki. With a pole nearby you can get like 2.7k for one wind. (It looks sexy, too!)
You can use Cat chair on reaction to B Sledge (I do it all the time!) for minimum 2K, if you have meter I'll make that into 4k thank you.
Our BNB has a variation on Tager that costs no wind and still does 2.8k, hurray (or more with 1 wind). 6A beats J.2C clean and you can get 2.5k + pumpkin oki from it.
3.8K minimum and oki from 5B for NO wind on tager and 50 meter is pretty good. You can also lock him down in the corner by mixing up normals with A lobelia. A lobelia in CH combos into 5B and you can get some sweet damage in the corner from that. We also still have our good old run like a bitch with wind.
Now on the bad side.
Magnetism will completely, utterly fuck you up. When you're magnetized and close to Tager, it becomes a mindgame of such proportions with so much risk and little reward you feel like putting the controller down, GETB is half of your bar and one mistake is enough to turn the tide completely into Tager's favor. Gadget Finger can be beat by Backdash 4D unless Tager uses 5D or 2D, but you can beat that with pokes.
Fullscreen away, if Jason didn't lie you just fucking go winded 6C towards Tager like WEEE and it'll beat his 5D lol. if he blocks it you cancel into j.C and go into loli aerial mixup, or airdash away.
So uh basically, don't fuck up
