hey guys, Name: KissBlade Location: Astoria/Queens Chars: Rachel Notes: when/where'd you all play?

Lambda is really hard if it's competent and Rachel is completely impossible online IMO cause instant blocking forms so much of her defense. One thing I noticed is you let him get out of corner a lot for free when you could done some lobelia tech traps whenever she tries to get out. Also I like frog combos to build back wind meter because without wind against her, you're pretty much ineffective entirely. Btw against spike chaser, I like to jump and 3d wind but I'm not sure how reliable it is because Lambda's have gotten used to spamming 6D against me =\. Oh and spam throws in your tech traps.

Probably a lot to ask, if so, pardon in advance but is there anyone who can possibly translate the reasoning the Japanese gave behind their rankings or some imbalanced/balanced match ups that seems particularly perplexing for us in the states? As a Rachel main, obviously I'd be interested in hearing mostly about Rachel but just some insight from the community overseas will be quite interesting. Thanks in advance.

You're really underestimating Nu's prowess in CT.

Shadow may be a tier hopper and yeah he didn't exactly go all out with Bang in that match but I don't think there's a point in denying that he had talent with Rachel in CT. I'm actually still hoping he subs Rachel to hopefully see another player besides Matsu flagshipping for us.

Pay attention to how he has to completely outplay his opponent to even scrape by a win. =\ Ugh, I can't even imagine being able to execute those setups under pressure.

That really doesn't look like Matsu playing since he seemed to drop a lot more combos than Matsu normally would've. Most of the matches I see with Matsu looks very technical.

You really must go back to the Arakune threads now.

I'm having a lot of trouble landing the dash during the "(after 5cdc, summon frog (214a), dash, and perform an OTG (3c => etc); *denotes a frog will hit at this point if the opponent is froggable)". I tried against both Hakumen and Jin in various circumstances (in corner, midscreen, midscreen push to corner). Unless I mess up the dash and mashed the 3C close enough to them from a wind, I can never catch them with the 3C portion of the OTG. Basically one portion of the combo never seems to be quick enough, whether it be the 214A, or the dash after it or how quickly I enter the 3C.
