Right but 5B is the best option since it does what the other normals can and more. Like the other meaty normal options it forces her to block with no meter. If she blocks you can go to 5B 2B pressure. If it hits you have a good starter for a combo. 2A does this too but carries higher risk because of less active frames. You mistime it you get hit by 2D. Even if it hits you have a crappy starter for a combo. Why do this when 5B exists? 5A is the same. 2B is the same. 6A you only go into air combo. You can still pressure at least. 6B is okay but if it hits you can't really combo. 6C is horrible. 5C is an odd choice but I guess it's not too bad. If it gets blocked though you can't go into pressure like you can with 5B. 2C only works if you are sure you will guard break them when you force her to block. Otherwise it gets blocked and you are open to big damage. The only plus side is if you CH her you can go into the big damaging CH 2C combo. 3C you can only go into another meaty option or try to hit confirm into a combo. 4B is really slow and easy to mistime.

I have no idea what's going on so here is some dancing :D Nice avatar changes. I wonder what inspired you all to change it in the first place -_-

Nyanpire is so good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYhFCB4H06k This is a replay attempting to show how strong meaty 5B is. If you give a generic Noel any sort of gap it's almost guaranteed they will want to do something. Meaty 5B just shuts down all of that. Key points of the video are linked in the listed numbers under each round. Round 1 - Rachel tries to wait and see what Noel wants to do. She attempts frog oki only to see that the Noel is just mashing. 1) In this timecode Rachel attempts frog oki and gets thrown out of :< Round 2 - Rachel wises up and realizes frog oki will not work on this Noel. She opts to do 3C > no summon > meaty 5B and ends up winning the round. 1) This is more like it! Meaty 5B makes Noel block. 2) Meaty 5B catches Noel doing something. 3) Meaty 5B off of throw and off of another 3C knockdown. Noel is forced to block. Rachel has her way :3 Round 3 - Rachel wins the round convincingly using meaty 5B. Noel still doesn't respect this and continues to get caught mashing during her wake-up. 1) Get counterhit Noel! Right after that, frog oki is attempted just to expose this Noel's habit of mashing throw on wake-up whenever the Rachel is that close on her wake-up. It gets baited by Rachel jumping out in time. Meaty 5B in combination with 6A in select staggered blockstrings to stuff random 2D should be enough to "scrub-bust" generic drive mashing Noel's. Go out there and expose autopilot Noel strats :D

Throw invuln. Here's hoping :3

Like that's what made her good in the first place. She didn't need that crap in CT -_- Although that damage readout is pretty ridiculous lol

The CT PC hack showed it as a transportation move. I was hoping it'd give her Eddie style command grab and the opponent is encased in the Nago Ball :3

Nago Ball.

If they want to get rid of stupid damage from mashing one move I think it's warranted ;D That said though, I'm going to miss that combo lol.

As mentioned before, if j.2C is air special cancellable on hit, this would mean the return of CT style oki for Rachel in terms of ending air combos with j.2C. air combo > j.2C ender > j.214B ...which means another way of baiting DP.

You all are playin'?

CT Rachel revived! Run away! Nah not quite.

It's true. But cross your fingers that it makes it to final changes :X

Return of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAxurYLzVqg&feature=player_detailpage#t=28s

This is exactly what I was bouncing off of NeoZero in Skype. Awesome ;D

This is me being greedy but what if j.2C cancellable means it's also special cancellable lol probably not seeing as there has been a largely negative response on the JBBS for Rachel.

Here's how they will fix it. You make burst a separate button and not a hotkey for A+B+C+D :D

They really should do something about bursting also taking up a wind if you have any in stock :X

Make it throw invuln :3

Wall bounce sounds great if you can combo afterward.

I could easily record the stuff I saw though on my own equipment. Hmm. What might this be? A list of changes? JBBS post has Need translation orz

Soniti had a nico community link and he said he'd record some of it. Until that gets uploaded then I don't know of any way of seeing it again. It was a livestream.

Give her Nago Ball of course.

First you have to do something about the missing pudding :3
