Kuuhaku

Due to the changes to 5CC and level 2 j2C, her damage is actually about the same as CS (maybe worse?). Her corner damage is probably higher now. Pumpkin also got level buff. It's level 3 now like in CT (at least it was in previous loketests).

It's been confirmed that j2C isn't an overhead and it can no longer jump cancel, but it can still normal cancel on block. jA is an overhead though.

Well level 2 j2C being nerfed also hurts. We'll see how things turn out final release. We could get a shocking surprise like last time.

Got someone else to translate- Her damage efficiency is worse than CS. Well... hopefully her tools make up for it.

Doubt it with level 2 j2C bouncing higher. It's probably going to be more like 5B/6B 6CD -> whatever.

They probably mean general damage and max damage. But, with no other follow up from 5CC but 236C 3D (+ sword iris?) that pretty much kills most of her BnBs.

Google translate says

I used to button mash GGXX (literally like lowest level of button mashing, no one knew wtf we were doing with that game) with my friends in college and I saw on Kotaku that this was supposed to be some kind of spiritual successor to Guilty Gear. It looked pretty cool, and after watching videos and listening to the soundtrack I came across Rachel. Being able to play a gothic lolita appealed to me a lot. I was considering playing maybe Jin until I found out he was a faggot, and I couldn't get the hang of Taokaka or Carl's play style so I dropped them too.

I just want this game to run faster dammit. XD;

Nice. :3 Thanks for the confirmation.

Just curious, but source on pumpkin's level being changed? XD; I don't want to get my hopes up that pumpkin is now godly again.

Well... there's some things that make it easier for her to put people in the corner. 6A is now better and 6B combos into 6C now (and forces them to stand). So... probably her main game play now will just be to carry people to the corner and rape them there. I can deal. It's better than CS1 gameplay of spamming seeds and hoping you never get hit.

The character summary too?

For pumpkin? *hopes you mean pumpkin* If so, that makes it CT strong. Also, yeaaaah. I was wondering with the 5CC change how Rachel would get damage since people would be pushed back so far. Outside of the corner she practically has no follow up if she has to use C cannon + 3D to combo after 5CC...

Oppa- can you translate Rachel changes too?

Lol. I honestly thought they'd keep it the other way around so we couldn't troll large characters all day. But I'll take whatever we get as long as I'm not playing nerfarella again.

No. It's fine. It can still be used as mix up even if it's not an overhead.

What?

Uh... hit stop just means it should be easier to combo with.

Dittoed.

Found it. Knew I wasn't crazy.

I'll find it later and make sure.

From the kanji used for it, I think it means it's an overhead. Not 100% sure, but the kanji used for "high" corresponded with the kanji for "low" and "mid". Or at least... that's how I read someone's translation.

Taking a break from meets for a while. If you need anything from me, shoot me a PM.

Rachel's damage will be low no matter what we do, so it's more important to focus on oki and resets.
