Part Seven Characters:
RACHEL
- i11/i13/i14
- Rachel is a Heavyweight character
- Rachels generic movement and KBD is amazing (especially for a Heavyweight!)
- The 3T offensive hold (OH) is great against crouching stances such as Helenas bokuho, Brad Wongs laydown or Ayanes twirls for instance
- PPK & PPT can be used to catch people that try to sidestep the P-strings such as PPP, PP2K, etc.
- After a 66T OH on NH, you can be devious and go for a 41236T launcher throw afterwards
- Rollthrough can be entered off of PP2P+K/PP8P+K
- The 63214[T] OH can be useful at range as a whiff punisher if the opponent is likely to whiff right in front of you
- Rachel doesnt have a go-to jumping low crush (Rachels crushing ability in general isnt really good)
- If the Yurlungur stomps (Downed 2K) whiff, Rachel can get punished
- Rachels counter hold against a jumping kick is similar to her Mid K Hold
- 1P~ is your go-to hi-crush
TAMAKI
- i10/i12/i13
- Tamaki is a Lightweight character
- Tamakis generic movement and KBD is bad
- Sometimes its safe to just use a high hold or low hold over an expert high punch or low punch hold if youre uncertain if a kick or punch will be incoming
- Despite being an Aikido fighter, Tamaki has no parries (but has sabakis)
- 8PP could be used as a hi-crush/low crush (though in general use 1P for hi-crush, and 9K for low crush)
- Only 236T is a wall slam throw
- 66P can be used as a safe poke if spaced right
- PPP & 3P work similar to Kasumis PPP & 3P in the sense of being able to induce a lift stun on CH (though if you whiff 3P6T OH on the lift stun, you can actually leave yourself at +1 if the opponent does nothing, making it an interesting Option Select (OS))
- Use 4K to poke into BT stance, and 3K if you want to remain front facing
- Both 6PK & 6P6T can catch sidesteps (throws and offensive holds have tracking)
- 8PP is Tamakis only guard break (GB) attack, it leaves her at +1
For Directional Notation:
7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3
Each number represents the corresponding direction. 1 for Down-Back, 9 for Up-Forward, 5 for Neutral or no input, etc. Quarter-Circle Back = 214, Quarter-Circle Forward = 236, Half-Circle Back = 63214, Half-Circle Forward = 41236, etc.
For Input commands:
P = Punch
K = Kick
H = Hold/Guard Button
T = Throw Button
S = Special Button
P+K = Strong punch
H+K = Strong Kick
H+P = Alternate Way to Input Throw
H+P+K = Alternate Way to Input S
