gamester

Many apologies again for not being active here on the forum, however I have been keeping an eye on things in case trouble did pop up on this board. A lot has happened in the last couple of years and I'm hoping I can somewhat catch back up with things. If it is of any consolation. I managed to add in the matches from videos provided here into the main match ups post. Now with BBCF coming so early. Too early for me lol, it has thrown some of my plans off course to get this place back up to scratch before the actual release date. The Keep On Blaz/Rocking site is a great idea for videos and I have checked it again just now. I'm guessing it has a lot of the bugs/problems fixed, which is great from when I last checked it (months/eons ago) and if I'm honest. I implore people to make use of the website. It seems very handy. Now because everything has been off balance over the last 7-8 months. I am going to go through every video channel and check every video for Rachel matches to obtain anything we might be missing here or on KeepOnBlaz/Rocking. I will of course post them here but after BBCF is over with, I am tbh looking to stop running a video thread like this and hope Keep On Blaz/Rocking takes off. Keeping this to a video analysis thread. Dustloop for one has become awkward to run these kind of threads and I don't think I will be able to keep up as time goes by. Of course if I think of a more effective video adding/sorting/storing method I will try or if people still like how things are here, like the layout, presentation or whatever it may be, I am willing to try again after BBCF. Sorry for going off topic there. As always, feel free to drop me a PM or anything related to this Rachel board. I'll be notified by email so I'll be sure read up on feedback or anything tbh. Now to begin getting this place up to scratch. FOR THE PRINCESS!

I'm not really in touch with things these days but going by corner combos. To do high damage combos, seems to look like there is a lot going on to get that damage. Our opponents should use their bursts carefully but it looks like you could burst out of Rachel's corner combos because it seems to me, from the very few videos I've seen. We're pressing a lot of buttons? (for those high damage combos) Mind you I've hardly been keeping up with things so I might be missing something :/ edit: Shouldn't we be posting CF stuff in the CF General Discussion Q&A thread lol, sorry to nag if it seems like it.

This is the FAQ thread. Feel free to ask anything here (I'm well out of touch with things in game and on this forum. Sorry about that all) @Azure Grimoire My explanations are long winded and all over the place but hope I can help in some way. Someone may be able to explain things better and/or correct my mistakes. Sorry it has also taken a tad while to get round to answering your question. First I wouldn't try learning j.2C Lvl 2 in Challenge Mode. Set up training mode and practice it there until you understand/get the feel of it. Here I would just do a basic route that leads into j.2C Lvl 2. Like the following: 5BD > 6A > 5B > jc > j.B > j.C > j.2D > jc9 > j.2C lvl 2 The bit you might be having trouble with is where I have put "j.2D > jc9" part. After the j.C you are using wind to get the momentum needed for Lvl 2 and the jc9 (jump cancel forward) has to be done to get your positioning right in order for the j.2C to connect and bounce your opponent. It takes a fair bit of consistent practice and it can seem like you have to do things fast. In training mode make sure the training dummy doesn't tech and feel free to blue beat your combo attempts while you try to figure out the timing and feel of the lead up to the J.2C Lvl 2 If you're struggling with the j.2D > jc9 inputs I learnt that by focusing on it alone by going into training mode. Jumping forward in the air, do the j.2D and try jump cancelling forward again until I felt how to do it, I sped up my input when I was getting comfortable with it then tried to apply it in a full combo like I listed above. Hope this helps, my apologies if this sounds a bit odd. It's a bit of a rush job putting this post together but any more questions feel free to ask away

^ Please take any questions to the FAQ next time, or feel free to ask about the odd route or two in the Combo Thread. [Moved your post into FAQ] If I find the time I'll do my best to explain J.C lvl 2 as soon as I can (busy atm) unless someone beats me to explaining it. EDIT: (Sorry for the inconvenience caused when trying to merge the threads. Dustloop doesn't make it easy to move stuff about sadly)

I'll try my best to explain. I've been well out of touch for a while now but hope I can help in some way. - When the 236A hit connects, the lobelia needs to catch your opponent at the highest point they are in the air (hit connects). When you get that timing and you get the feel. You can microdash pretty much as soon as you've finished inputting 236A. - Micro dashing is just like normal dashing (input 66) but you cancel into 3C asap. I'm not explaining it well sorry but I guess I would input it as 663C, so a quick flick of the 66 input and then staight into 3C. Usually I follow up with Sword Iris to connect the rest of the combo. Going by your post I think you might be having a problem with the lobelia hit height. But - Another thing to note is that 236A > 3C doesn't work as well with some characters due to how they fall. I forget off the top of my head which characters exactly these days, but I'm assuming you're using Ragna as the training dummy. He's simple to practice on I find. Hope this helps and my apologies if this causes any confusion, may be someone can explain it better than me.

The video embedding is becoming a problem for here and I can imagine the various games video posting threads as well. It's strange because sometimes things work ok and other times it's pulling my hair out trying to keep things consistent on the main match ups post or a fresh post. EDIT: Ok. I'll be honest. I can not be asked to mess around with the link colours being red/blue or whatever when I add/copy them to the main MU post. The important thing is that the links are going to be there, you can still click on them and not have a huge embedded video slapped across the post on the screen. It saves me time sorry. EDIT 2: Added everything above, sorry for the Video Thread's main post looking a bit odd here and there with the blue links. It doesn't make the place tidy at all but not much can be done about sadly :/ - Another thing to let you guys know, BLUE Links will open the Video on the page you are on whereas RED links will open up another tab with the video. Anyway, all video links have been checked up to this post of the CF Video Posting Thread: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/12128-cf-video-posting-thread/&do=findComment&comment=946669

Welcome to the board! Sorry for taking so long to reply, I'm also not very confident in explaining things so my apologies in advance. As a first go to point (if you haven't seen it yet) is the Rachel Gameplay Guide by Sakaku, which is still relevant, it has some slight out of date info here and there but overall it's still a fantastic read if you're starting to learn Rachel as it covers your mentioned points, approaching and defence Here's the link to the Guide: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/4959-cp-rachel-gameplay-guide/ Though when I've played Rachel, I tend to learn her BnBs first and get a feel for them, for when I do open someone up with x move in your Mix Up you know roughly what to do in order to set up your oki. I'm not sure what else I can explain/cover that's not in that guide from memory? We basically want to set up traps, try and get our opponents to make mistakes and punish them for it. I hope this post has helped a little but if you have any questions or anything on your mind at all. Feel free to ask again here or an Gameplay Q&A

I have repaired all the links in the main match ups post. They layout it will be odd but the important part is that all links are listed by character, date and have player names on. All I need to do is add the stuff in between the forum disaster and now and everything will be present for CPEX Rachel. I'll tidy it up the odd pieces after I've sorted through that. My apologies this has taken so long. EDIT 2: Update on the above mentioned matter: - Everything for video links is up to date. Luckily with the strange way I think this forum works now, you can find the recent links that I have added into the main match ups post in Blue. While Red coloured links are what were part of the repair process. - Next step when I get round to it. All I need to do is tidy things up and make it a bit more presentable. Other than that, everything is finally UP TO DATE!

No problem, I think there have been more pallet choices other than these added since then but nothing online yet to my knowledge? Also don't worry about asking any BBCF Rachel questions on your mind whatever it may be, this thread is for that I have a Question on a matter of Wind Regen. As I think I've been seeing differently to what we've previously mentioned in the Change List thread. What I've been seeing briefly of match videos is that it does not regen in the air when we jump around and whatnot. Unless we take damage on the ground and then lifted into the air during the opponents combo. Wind will continue to keep regenerating that way. TD did help regen in the air iirc seeing. (Just wanted to double check with anyone more in the know as I'm a bit out of touch atm sorry) [Some Info/Stuff while I'm posting here:] - Sorry to ask but if you know the JP player names in videos, feel free to make a post to fill in the gaps as I'm terrible at identifying players and can't read JP either. (Sorry about that and for asking if anyone knows) If you do know the JP to ENG text and pallet colours, I should be able to memorise them in time and figure out where they play when new videos come about, as I'm looking at making the main match ups post have the player names so if you guys happen to be looking up a specific player to watch, you can Ctrl+F and type away to find them. - So far no news on where you wish to hold BBCF MU discussion but feel free to do so here and any details I will copy over when I find out what's up with the MU sub board exactly. - Other than that above, I've filled out the Q&A section of this thread, if you notice any mistakes feel free to point them out - If you have any feedback in general or anything you feel is on your mind to further improve the Rachel Board.

CT Rachel is a given because if it wasn't for her then I wouldn't be here today. CS2 & CSE Rachel, I had great fun around those times as a Rachel player. Started to play more seriously with her then and learnt a lot. CP/1.1 I'm going to say is my favourite version of Rachel. I felt I really clicked more with her that version. Only versions of Rachel I'm not as happy with is CPE, I can still do some amusing stuff but wind regen still bothers me the most and I dodged some of CS1 lol. I still have my doubts about CF but can't make a solid decision tbf until I can play the game for myself one day.

If so you are more than welcome to put your details here and you could be reaching out to fellow Rachel players in the same region/area who do not have the ability to record matches themselves but could have them recorded through your stream or session. An example (NOT THE REAL THING) would be something like this. (Note: I am hoping to do something like this when I can get BBCF on console depending how life works out for me) [Dustloop Name: Gamester] [Console: PSN] [Region: Europe/UK] [Stream/Recorded Session: (Day + Time + Room Name) Wednesday 8pm (GMT+1) RachelEU] [Additional Notes: Any EU player and especially Rachel players are welcome, happy to provide a service as I too am a Rachel player looking to improve myself. Videos will go up on YouTube and if you don't want your matches recorded, just say so and I won't add.] (Something like the above but tidier, it seems similar to Match Finder but what I would be doing here is offering to reach out to Rachel Players in EU who want to improve but can't find a method to share their match footage for feedback/advise) It's an idea.

Note: This is also the new Q&A thread, if you wish to view our boards previous game versions Q&A thread you can find it here: Link Discuss and ask Questions about the latest version of Rachel here: I thought it was time to add this now as the US also has BBCF on arcade machines this time around. With this version Rachel has has had some rather big changes and how we tackle playing her will also a change a bit, so don't hesitate to ask questions to the answers you seek. You can also find general Rachel information further below. Notable Central Fiction Changes: - Pumpkin has been removed and replaced by the poisoning Ivy (214B) - Lotus will be our new Pseudo Pumpkin (22A Lotus was removed and we keep 22B) - Wind Regeneration has slightly improved compared to CPEX (It also recovers slowly in the air) - George Shock Time is less but has no cool down. - Tempest Dahlia falls in at an angle and greatly recovers wind. Notable Central Fiction 2.0 Changes: - Example line - Example line Any info you believe is wrong or should be added. Just let me know and I'll sort it out. However you can find a full run down on Final Changes and discussion on the following thread: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/12099-cf-rachel-alucard-final-changelist/ Contents: - Character Profile: - Gameplay Summary: - Move List: - Commonly asked Q&A: - Notable Links & Resources: Character Profile: Rachel=Alucard ( レイチェル゠アルカード ) Head of the infamous Alucard vampire family, Rachel has spent countless years watching as the world repeated the same 100 years over and over. However, the world has finally broken free of the bonds that held it for so long, and Rachel is determined to put an end to Terumi with her own hands. In the BlazBlue universe, Rachel is an extremely powerful individual, controlling wind and lightning. While she will rarely directly interfere with the events that surround Kagutsuchi, her primary goal is as an observer, and gently (or less so) nudges the pieces into their places. She has several servants under her command; Nago, a cat familiar, and Gii, a bat familiar, which serve as her weapons, furniture, and anger relief. Her butler, Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, is also notable for being a werewolf, as well as one of the Six Heroes. Height: 4'7" Weight: 68 lbs Blood Type: Unknown Birthday: October 31 Birthplace: Transylvania Hobby: Tea Time Likes: Sweet Things Dislikes: Being bored, Bell peppers and Tomato Juice JP Voice Actress: Ueda Kana Gameplay Summary: Health: 11,000 HP Overdrive: Elfried - Speeds up Wind Recovery. - Damage increase on Baden Baden Lily and adds extra projectiles to Tempest Dahlia. Rachel is a very unique character who specializes in keeping her opponent at a distance with a variety of projectiles and traps that make it difficult for opponents to approach her safely. She is also extremely effective at keeping the opponent in the corner, and has very intimidating corner mix-up. Her Drive, Sylpheed, makes her one of the most mobile characters in the game. On the flip side, Rachel has very few ways to escape pressure, a very fat OTG hitbox, and most of her normals have fairly short range. She is definitely not a beginner level character and her play style may prove difficult to learn for people new to fighting games. However, her unique play style and charm cannot be found anywhere else in BlazBlue. With a little patience and perseverance, she can be one of the most exciting and fun characters to play. Move List: Slypheed: Any Direction + Rachel's Drive summons a gust of wind that pushes in the direction pressed. Wind is held in the Sylpheed Gauge above Rachel's heat bar. There are 4 Wind Stocks; using her Drive will consume 1 stock. Consumed wind will regenerate slowly while Rachel is on the ground. Wind (Slypheed) does a variety of things: Affects Rachel's movement greatly Affects Opponents movement greatly and to further effect with Lotus attached. Affects the movement of Tiny Lobelia trajectory, Ivy Blossom, Barrel Lotus and George the XIII. You can use Wind when Rachel is not being hit or blocking. Gerbera Lute: Rachel's Exceed Accel can only be used when you have earned Active Flow Status. Usually used as a combo ender it can add on around an extra xxxx damage or if it is blocked will push the opponent away from you. Special Moves: Tiny Lobelia: + / / (Can be used mid-air) Rachel launches a seed projectile, which will turn into a rod upon hitting the ground/opponent. The trajectory depends on the button pressed; A fires the lowest, B fires somewhat upwards, C fires even higher. In the air, this is reversed; A fires the highest, and C fires the lowest. A maximum of 3 rods can be placed at once on screen, with the oldest disappearing if more are placed and you can also use Slypheed (Wind) to change the trajectory of a Lobelia's you fire. Sword Iris: + (Can be used mid-air) The rods placed by Tiny Lobelia and/or any Lotus Bats attached to an opponent are struck by lightning, damaging the opponent and shocking them on hit. Extends to the entire height of the screen. Seeds that have hit the opponent but not turned into visual rods yet will also be struck. You can also TK (Tiger Knee) Sword Iris in the motion when on the ground: + which allows for faster recovery which you can follow up with a quick dash to continue a combo or pressure on the opponent. Ivy Blossom: + (Can be used mid-air) Ivy Blossom is where 10 small bats come out and will latch onto the opponent to drain away their Health, by using Slypheed (Wind) to move the bats around they spread into a fan or if used in oki, the opponent can wake up standing into all 10 of them. If 1 or 2 bats attaches during Slypheed (Wind) use it can do hardly anything, but if all 10 bats are attached they will do consistent poison like damage. Ivy has no hit box so summon carefully during mid combo and for oki. George the XIII: + (Can be used mid-air) Summons a frog in front of Rachel. George will slowly crawl towards the direction of the opponent, and can be pushed towards the enemy with Sylpheed (Wind). Upon contact, George will start shocking the opponent (6 hits total). George will disappear if Rachel is hit by an attack, if he takes 700+ damage (George HP). [NEED TO SEE ABOUT GAUGE INFO] George is one of Rachel's most important tools. An opponent blocking or getting hit by George is one ripe for mix-up/combos. On the defensive, if George is out on screen, Rachel can wind him towards her to escape block strings and punish overzealous opponents. He's also great to throw out after a knockdown, and contributes heavily to Rachel's corner game. Barrel Lotus: + (Can be used mid-air) Transforms Rachel's rods into bats that will track the opponent. If they touch the opponent (hit or block), all wind effects will be increased against the opponent. Useful for combos and controlling space. Any bats attached to the opponent can be struck with Sword Iris. Distortion Drives (DD) and Astral Heat (AH): (DD) Baden Baden Lily: + (Can be used mid-air) A bigger, badder, stronger version of Sword Iris. In addition to striking all Lobelia rods, lightning also surrounds Rachel, essentially turning herself into one. Corner combos in CF often involve setting up multiple rods before combo-ing the opponent into a Baden Baden Lily for large amounts of damage. The damage can be further increased with the effect of activating Overdrive. (DD) Tempest Dahlia: + (Can be used mid-air) When used, Rachel summons gigantic projectiles from behind her that gust towards the opponent at an angle. The number and type of projectiles thrown out depend on how many stocks of Wind there is in the Slypheed Gauge Rachel had when she used the move; there are a total of five levels. 0 Wind (lvl 1) = Less projectiles and 4 Wind (lvl 5) = More projectiles. Tempest Dahlia is used as a defensive DD. It is mainly used to stall for time or regain a lot of wind. It can be used to punish opponents who are recklessly jumping or air dashing in, but (due to heavy proration on the last projectile) Rachel cannot get much damage from it. The closer Rachel's back is to the corner, the faster the projectiles will appear on screen. Also, once a projectile appears on screen, it's active frames are guaranteed. All versions/levels are plus on block and Rachel is able to move while the super is still in progress. Thus, she can get in mix ups where both she and her opponent are obscured by King George or King Pumpkin. (AH) Clownish Calendula: + Rachel's Astral Heat. She pulls down her umbrella and summons a giant red pillar. Any contact the opponent makes with this pillar is game over for them. Guard point from the freeze until the end of the move. Wind can still be used during the animation to draw the opponent closer towards the pillar but the opponent can block the attack, however you can combo into this Astral Heat in many ways.

There are Three Levels to this move. lvl 1: Standard Hit. lvl 2: Caused Ground Bounce on hit. lvl 3: Causes greater Ground Bounce and has the Fatal Counter property even on a normal hit. The j.2C levels are determined by Rachel's and the opponents momentum. You can increase this with 2D when coming down, with 8D when jumping upwards or even both. It allows you to chain into other Normals when landing so it can be used for a lot of things.
