i just kinda put up my log as i was going but i’m gonna add stuff like when to hit the D button and things like that when i get a chance

wow…hardcore combos…

I always manage to screw up my combos because I don’t pay enough attention to my wind gauge, and when I do manage to land a 6A, it always catches me off guard.

Nice combo vid. Bookmarking for future reference.

thanks

i think i’m done playing this game online. Rachel needs too much finesse to play correctly and can’t mash out damaging combos like the other characters can, and I don’t really wanna play anyone else in this game.

nice vid man.

i just started play bb, and saw the tier list today, now i want to know why rachel is such high tier… shes tight, but isnt a lot of her combo character specific? and from what i read, she zone really well, but not as good as arakune or v13, and once opponent get close to rachel, shes in trouble, and without a godly backdash like v13, shes stuck with doing barrier guard or something, i watched her video (including the tutorial video the game came with), im impressed, but im not so sure what makes her stand out above all the other character… so would anyone be kind enough to enlighten me?

Let’s just say if you get your opponent in the corner you can probably kill them.

Also, gdlk mixups :tup:

how do you get out of Nu’s combo? Esp the D button one that everybody uses over and over?
I can never manage to block the one coming from the back and then i get trapped in the combo.

Great stuff. applause

To expand on what **djhbrd **said, if you want to see why Rachel is considered top tier, watch the second and third fights here.

She gives Arakune a run for his money in terms of pure corner lockdown, though she arguably has to work harder to do it.

mos def…

i have been racking the hell out of my brain trying to pick a main between Rachel and Ara. flat out Rachel is crazy good but you really have a higher execution barrier to break and she is way more high maintenance to play her!!!

uh… how can i execute her overhead (2C) near the ground like in one combo?
any shortcut? or is it just quickly do 9~2C…?

That’s what I sort of do. For me, it’s sort of a sliding motion from 9, to 5, then 3, just barely hitting 2 on the way from 5 to 3. It was difficult to do consistently at first, but it’s really not much more difficult to get used to than your first attempts at super jumping as long as you try to put it in matches. I’m not even sure if you need to actually hit 2, I just do it by habit.

this drives me absolutely insane too. i lose to D mashing noels and iceboard jins all the time online. in real life they get white blocked and die

Nice, definately going to have to try and memorise some of those so thanks for that

(Mainly relying on 5B,5B,C+D,C,236B,22A and random stuff with frogs and poles atm and this stuff definately looks like several steps up, will have to try and overcome Taokaka-like memory to get them down lol)

ok basicly

you can do 5B, then hit 2D, then when you jump with up fowards you hardly even leave the ground, then you can mash like j.B, j.2C, then land and do 5B again. You can also use 3D in combos like this to make you travel towards them more. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the air or on the ground. Once you get the basic stuff down you start to understand how using the wind works a little more. Also be careful because if you hit a low 2C (+D) land and 5B, then jump quickly for another 2C i don’t believe it’ll combo unless they are ducking!

Also I should mention that one of the things I do as far as keeping track of the wind power in combos especially (why did they make the damn meter so small) is like if you do a simple combo starting with say 5B into 6C+D, when you’re in the air, that’s a good time to look at your wind meter to see how much you have left before you cancel the 6C into j.C… just a tip, at least that’s what I do.

so basically shes so good just cuz her corner rape is sick then?
