Ooh sorry didn't know there was a matchup thread for CS.

Lol nice strat

Well usually I have like 50% life and he has like 30%, and he is in the corner or something and I'm whacking away at Tager, and somehow he manages to throw me between some of my attacks. So unfair, still lost after all that hard work due to one attack by Tager.

Lol my Rachel looks like utter shit compared to the Rachel in that vid. Hmm, to get a fatal counter in the middle of a combo with J.2C in CS, do I need a level 3 J.2C or just a Level 2?

Just went and played CS today. Like you said, 6B was helpful. Might not be able to combo from it, but at least it allows me to get close and start attacking. But I lost a lot of the rounds due to 720C. =(

Try using wind for pumpkin or frog. It's sad now though, even if I wanna play CT Rachel, I have no one to play with.

J.C, J.B,and J.A should be largely the same range. But Rachel's pressure and Mix-ups in CS have mostly gone to shit unless you can get your opponent into the corner.

It's not possible to cancel J.2C into anything other than special moves like sword iris or Lobellia. So its almost nearly impossible to combo into anything from the air attack mixup without meter in CS. :vbang::vbang: Edit: J.C can hit some crouching opponents but then it would require you to be almost touching the ground when you do it right?

I'm sorry I don't get this part. I use that SJ>Pumpkin>Frog strat too, but usually when I wind the pumpkin down I usually get sledged. So what you're saying is after throwing out pumpkin and frog, I should just float in the air and wait for him to sledge, then 2D down and punish them, is that what you're saying Alex? For the Tager loop its for CT or CS or both? In CT the combo is easy to remember, just I screw up the timing all the time.

Hi guys, I have some question for Rachel vs Tager. In CT, I mostly lose to good players cos I'm always trying to do J.a mixup combo. I've seen some good Rachels pull off the J.a mixup properly and the problem I have is that I can't continue the combo after landing, e.g. they can CH me or if my first combo hits them, they can tech and block. In CS, I'm having a lot of trouble with Tager. He sledges through everything I can throw at him, pumpkin, frog, lobellias, and I can't rely on 6B CH anymore. So what should I do against Tagers in CS? I can't find anyway to punish his sledges other than a lobellia

Actually that blockstring above is the one that works the most, cos I usually get them at the 4B. It doesn't work as well on people that I play with often, so sometimes I change the 4B to some other low attack as a mix-up. Thanks anyway. The main problem I have with Rachel in CS is that I can't hit the opponent with my combos often enough to chain to BBL and thus big damage combos. I've been wanting to try this as a block string but I've had some difficulty. Can anyone tell me if I should input the 2D before or after I jump?

hi guys, played CS a few days ago. Still maining Rachel and I've had quite a bit of trouble against the higher tier chars (Lambda, Litchi, Taokaka, and especially Ragna)...I can pull off 3k+ combos with BBL and J.2C, but I'm having trouble with my block strings, cos mine are quite limited. I mostly like to do 2B>5B>4B>5B>5CDC, 5A/6A/2A>2B/5B>5CDC, or 5A/6A/2A/2B/5B>3C...or end with an extra lobellia. Anyone got any better block strings? Would like to hear some. Also trying to work J.2C into my blockstrings, but whenever I remember to try I don't have a nearby pole or pumpkin, so it's too risky. :/ Oh yes how true and cuteness too.

Ok, I will try the next time I go to the arcade.

Ok thanks cos I wasn't sure if you could throw multiple lobelias in the air cos it wasn't possible for CT. Um, btw anyone got any tips for IAD? I'm having trouble with it:gonk:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqH3ckhL5iA Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how matsu could stay in the air for so long and throw so many lobellias at hazama at 12:36. Pretty funny shit btw.

I tried playing Rachel on CS yesterday and judging from what I see the combo at 1:53 will be one of rachel's main combos in CS.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLxdqaO-TBE&feature=related Not really any good strats but very hilarious finish by the Rachel.

Tempest Dahlia's damage seems pretty low and looks like it's easy to avoid.

http://s1.zetaboards.com/blazblue/topic/2339886/1/#new First Location Test report, aka a complete slap in the faces of us Rachel players. It's stated in there she's now the WORST character in the game. I think her new super tempest dahlia is going to be useless since it uses up all of her wind and in addition to her wind having a slower recharge now.

"Pumpkin hitbox disappears if Rachel gets hit after it is activated." What does that mean? Like the pumpkin disappears if Rachel gets hit? If so then isn't it the same as in Calamity Trigger? I have this feeling CS will be awfully bad. Not only does Rachel's wind recharge more slowly now, we even have to use more wind on George and the DD projectile.

Damn Rachel got nerfed so badly I am not looking forward to BB:CS!
