Wind down right after doing the first j.C. Then double jump forward and hit C again shortly before landing into super. j.C has fairly long hitstun so you can afford to take some time and position yourself better after using it.
does that combo do more damage than jbc, dj j2dc, j.c, dash 6a super?
hey guys, a bit of a rookie here, sorry this probably has been answered but I don’t have time to search through 20 pages.
What is the best answer to jin’s 214 “riding the ice” attack?
Thanks.
instant block the second hit then 5B > whatever. do 6A > whatever if you don’t have wind i suppose.
You could also 2C (cat chair) for lulz, or practice timing for 6A (cat punch). You can air combo from cat punch too.
Cat chair and cat punch will also eat all the ice swords except for the big one. Just be careful with your timing or you’ll eat the sword instead. They’re both buffer attacks, so they’ll eat surprising stuff… well, pretty much anything that’s only one hit (spark bolt, taokaka D spam, Noel D spam, delayed carnage scissors, I’ve seen it eat Hakumen’s pew pew sword distortion, it’s kept me from getting sucked into Arakune’s bee laser, etc).
Cat chair does not eat Ragna’s overhead, but it works on obvious air attacks (tager’s elbow drop). Just don’t get too predictable with it, and if you miss you’re going to get smacked around. Cat chair can also be grabbed, so be careful about that (I think cat punch can be grabbed as it’s happened to me a few times, but I’m not 100% sure).
Any tips for breaking into defense?
j.2CD mixed with 3CD, 5B thrown in there between to keep 'em offguard. It’s like playing a long ranged Bang, you gotta throw the mixups in there in order to make them block the wrong thing. Once you have them DON’T LET THEM GO unless you run out of wind. If that’s the case, then stall them until you get more.
Oh, and learn to pressure in the corner like a mofo, keep 'em there, spam 6A if they try to jump out, anything, just don’t let them get out.
Easier said than done, but that’s the basis
Alrighty then, thank you. 
I’ve been doing that already, just seeing if there were any more defense breakers with her.
She’s not the most capable at breaking turtles, it requires wind and maybe some clever use of projectiles. which is why it’s important to establish an early lead so you can zone comfortably.
i still <3 rachel best.
My Rachel has made strides thanks to this thread.
Currently number 1 on the monthly leaderboard for Rachel with a cool 100 wins.
:party:
Lets see how long that lasts… getting off live right now so my reign will be short lived.
True, it requires wind, but Rachel is a very capable chasedown character. I know that I will take her any day and just j.2C jump cancel it into J.2CD and watch the opponent bounce into an air combo, which lands them right next to me for the next pressure string. That and after a few times, 3C instead of jump canceling will sweep the opponent, leading to the same basic event and allowing you to put ground pressure on. Add wind if your opponent decides they want to be intelligent and barrier block.
More often than not my mixup strings look something like: 5B, 6B, 3CD, wind oki (Frog cancel on the first few hits if they blocked it and you’ve conditioned them.)
Mix it up a few times, and your opponent will be treating his oki wakeup VERY differently and you’ll see him start to crouch block immediately after any 6B, so that gives you the leverage to apply overhead pressure, summons, or what have you. I’ve yet to see anyone actually come up with a decent counter aside from Jin’s 5D if he’s on the ball, so careful with that one.
Also, anyone know why Jin’s 5D seems to always hit me in the air? Or right as I’m jumping? I usually try to jump away and eat it for whatever reason.
hey everyone, i was wondering what the fastest way to air summon a pumpkin. i think i saw a video of Halloween somewhere empty jumping->B->instant pumpkin
thanks in advance
got a link to vid?
Hey Rei,
Not just 5D, but 6C, and occasionally ride the icing get me when jumping back trying to escape Jin pressure. I believe I read in the dustloop forums that we need to be barrier blocking it or instant blocking them, and I’m also kinda convinced that part of my problem is trying to IAD back when this occurs. I keep forgetting to try barrier or instant block, so you might wanna try that out.
does altered genesis come around much? cause those combos are outdated and i’m gonna update em probably when i get home. i don’t want to see dudes doing bc dj bc >:(
So how do people feel about the CS changes for our lovely loli?
.
Spoiler
feels terrible man :bluu:
i like characters with useful tools. if hers are still ruined in the final version i’ll probably main another character (bang, carl, hakumen or of the new chars prolly).
They did terrible terrible things to her with the nerf bat and in the art at least it is rumoured that her loliness is being removed as well.:sad:
Hope that it doesn’t stay that way though to release.
There is no way that they are going to let her remain that nerfed…the next loc. test willl be different!! How soon till the next one, anyone know?
