Yeah uh, so what exactly are we talking about anyway?

Yes, I do believe that Rachel's 5b is air-unblockable. Does 5cc still cause a wall-bounce, corner and mid-screen.

I usually count to 8 when I do sekkajin combos, you'll get used to it if you keep practicing.

From the videos, it looks like Hazama will still gain meter very quickly from his combos. j.214b gains at least 6% meter and j.c builds it up fast despite losing his main combo in CS. His zoning is very strong as expected. Edit: 623d gains 8% meter.

I might go back to Noel since her normals are buffed. With that being said, most Noels online are garbage. I met a high level Noel who just spammed drives on wake-up, air-dashing. He can't even combo.

Rachel is fine, for now. If things stay the same as they are right now, she can be used competitively. I can live with j.2c not being an overhead, but what concerns me the most is... 1. The new 5cc 2. Her damage 3. 2c due to the instant block change 4. Her projectiles Everything else is fine.

I think it's her 5b that's air-unblockable. I'm just wondering if it can still hit players if they try to jump away.

I'm still a little concerned about Rachel, but we'll see what happens. Anything better that her CS version is fine by me.

Not to mention no Rachel.

Just one more question. Since 6b causes a slide on counter hit, is it literally impossible to combo at mid-screen? What I'm meaning to say is, is that is it still possible to cancel 6b(CH)>214c.

So 5cc causes a slide and not a spin. Is the wall bounce still possible?

So for the IB nerf, does it make Rachel's 2c worse or better?

If the changes stay, I doubt Rachel will be mid-low or low. Remember anything can happen, we'll just wait and see.

Speaking of j.2c, I believe you can use it for cross-ups and combos. You can do 5b(CH)>j.2cd>5b>6cd for some good damage. Problem is that it costs 2 wind stocks. It's just a guess though.

I agree Tager needs that change. It pretty much destroys my strategy against him though. Rachel looks like she will only be around mid-tier(again, this is a guess). But I'll be happy as long as she is better than her CS tier.

So you can't hit Tager during his sledge because it has super armor know is that right? Well so much for Rachel's 6b.

Can someone confirm that if Rachel's j.A is an overhead and j.2c isn't an overhead anymore, but safe on block. It's being questioned in the Rachel forums.

-2C hit stop increase Can someone tell me what this means?

Rachel looks great. She's looking to be one of the most balanced characters in the game.

Am I the only one that is glad that everyone's 5b or 5c is air unblockable? I mean it does make sense.

Man I just started learning the 2d loop and they took it away . Oh well, I'll learn it anyway.

Thank you I just needed to ask that and get it out of the way.

I need to get this question out of the way. Since Rachel is looking to be top tier again, is she just as powerful as her CT counterpart or no.

I have trouble doing Carl's 2d loop. I can pretty much get the first hit easily. The problem is that the second hit is where I have trouble. It's because of 1. 2d doesn't hit I'm usually late. Or 2. I can't do j.2c>j.c.

So after 7 weeks of switching back and forth between Carl and Arakune, I finally decided to use Carl . I'm getting used to some of his combos and once I'm done with combos, I'll work on practicing his resets. I need someone to critique my Carl on XboxLive when I'm ready , but the only Carl I actually met is Kyle. Oh one more thing congrats Zong.
