Gauntlet Hades is easy to punish when you block it (unless they rapid cancel it, you just have to block then), it's like -11 on block. Dead Spike is easy to emergency tech and jump out of if they do it on your wake-up. There's probably better things you can do too. I'm just not the best person to probably ask, I'm horrible at giving advice. >,>
I don't know a whole lot about the Carl match-up either, but I know George can be pretty useful in this match-up since it's the only projectile that Rachel has that can go through the doll. The whole match-up, in general, feels like a game of cat and mouse. ._.
