Yeah tofurr. That Tager stuff I did is the stuff I lose to. It's stupid. -_-

I'm on XBL right now. Feel free to win against me

Broke 200 PSR on PSN

Should we just use 2A in this match? 5B and 2B are too risky -_-

LostSoul's Platinum is too good. Kind of lagged with him but still. I stood no chance.

Darlos kept A sledging with follow-up. I spammed 6B and then I remember I had 6CD to cover more options.

Pro mix-up TD. TD did TD and did IAD 1D 2B during the TD.

In my case there is no choosing matches in which I win or lose since the only material available is me losing. Tager match-up is so hard though. I hate being patient but I have to be if I want to win this match-up.

Bah my wired connection is being tsundere today. Yes I said it.

I want to play CS2 and Pac-Man if we get to go down again. I'm also learning Puyo Puyo.

All hail Rachel with her power to do Homing Wind

dat COOL FACTOR

COOLNESS FACTOR

It was CS Rachel powering-up for the big battle against Platinum.

Yeah we should visit again sometime.

5.0 was the longest ever -_-

Feels good to start anew ;D Nago Ball Z continues.

If you look at Litchi carefully before Rachel does 5A you will see her attempt to 2A.

This match-up feels difficult for now. Mainly I haven't found an answer to his 6A yet.

Good luck tofurr Will watch the stream.

While you can actually kill before time runs out sometimes timing out the other Rachel is a good idea. A Rachel trying to chase another Rachel is still pretty difficult.

I started to use 5B has a way to stuff Spike Chasers. I think that's a reasonable way of dealing with it if you are short on primers. Just don't do it predictably though.

I believe you can actually 6A Noel out of 2D if you do it early enough. I used this in CS whenever I established that the Noel I was playing would do it on wake-up predictably. 2D is also used as a cross-up if you block it crouching so be careful of that as well.

You still practicing Hazama? ;D

I know it's a bit early but I had a chance to play against some decent Platinum players both in arcades and on PSP Adhoc Party matches. So far I think this match-up might be one of the more difficult ones for Rachel. From experience, Platinum feels like I'm fighting a cross between Ragna and Rachel. With bombs or missiles she has tools to disrupt your own zoning or summoning attempts. With hammer or frying pan she gets access to more damaging combos. She also has normals that out range Rachel's. Against bombs or missiles it's best to stay on the defensive. Try jumping over missiles and misdirecting bomb shots. If you block missiles or bombs it means Platinum gets in (bad). One way of shifting momentum against missiles is to space yourself correctly so you can jump and attack to get inside after successfully jumping over a missile. Use wind if you have to. Bombs you can just dash in and wind if you can predict when Platinum will launch some bombs. Platinum up-close has decent pressure. One frame trap involves her 6C attack that's cancelled into Swallow Moon that is immediately cancelled into j.C. Platinum does have a command grab which closes distance since she has to run towards you first. Landing this nets her a "reload" of the current item she has equipped or if she has no item, she gets the next item queued equipped. If Platinum uses this grab mid-pressure you can avoid this by jumping if you think they will commit. Your gameplan should generally be the same. Corner carry into corner trap. Do not play this match-up midscreen.
