Nu is even-ish against one or two of the cast but has the advantage over the rest. All I know about Rachel vs Nu is that it involves a lot of pumpkin.

Glen Ellyn (Chicago Suburb) but Im going to school in Champaign.
small world, I'm in Champaign right now. now maybe the latency will be orgasmic between us
and yeah i learned to block nu's basic sword string but once she starts to mix up a bit i can't keep up. i need to play her more so i can recognize some stuff i think

Did you try jumping and then immediately using wind to propel you towards her? I'm guessing you can go over her 5D like that, and the wind will take you to her so fast she'll still be recovering from a D move and you can get a free combo (which means half of her life gone, probably ).

I dont know enough about the game to offer advice, but if you'd like to practice vs my nu I'm game.
Also posting to say that noel's corner 6c loop is stupidly fun to do no matter how little damage it does :D

I'm guessing you can go over her 5D like that, and the wind will take you to her so fast she'll still be recovering from a D move and you can get a free combo (which means half of her life gone, probably ). It's not exactly a reliable approach method though; you either fly too high and end up getting to her when nu has recovered and is ready to AA you or just leave the area, or you angle perfectly into her 6D. Maybe if you're within half a screen of nu you could get there "so fast" but otherwise it doesn't really happen like that very often against a competent nu. Plus nu should probably be doing more 6Ds against Rachel since Rachel is too slow on the ground to really threaten running under a 6D and punishing, and Rachel is too big/floaty to really deal with 6D.
One interesting approach I've seen was jumping when you anticipate a 5D, then air pumpkin and wind it towards nu- moves you in a bit and gives you a pumpkin to try to force your way in further. Again, gets stuffed by 6D but it's there.
Other ideas: - IB 5DD and then IAD, which avoids a 4DD followup and gets you closer (though not necessarily in punish range). Loses to 5DD 6DD which Rachel can't do a lot about, tbh. - fish for 236 trade against 5D, which does a bit more damage to nu than it does to Rachel and gives you a pole right where nu is.
Rachel just has to be patient tbh. Learn to IB sword patterns, poke at the nu player's zoning habits. If the nu is at all smart, you have to be smarter is all. nu is too strong and Rachel is too floaty/slow for there to be a cut-and-dry approach.

yeah, that would be great. I need all the practice I can get against Nu.
and thanks for the tips. I'll go in training mode and try IB against sword patterns and test some follow up stuff

Latency is never orgasmic :/ Even when done amongst locals!

just got it in the mail today... it definitely seems like a game that takes a lot of time and practice to be real good at. Right now I'm just using the Dualshock 3, I'm starting to think I should invest in a couple arcade sticks...

time and date.
im in there

Any EU players that want some games? Would be nice with more lag free games, my psn is UrFace91
|
For those wondering about eu players, come to #Blazblue.eu @ irc.akiha.nl:6667
|
I was gonna suggest hitting up IRC, yeah. There are good players there. The international BB channel is just #Blazblue on efnet.
|
|
So I just found out two of my good friends are two of the strongest Blazblue players in the US. Wuku is one of my best friends at my uni and Veteru is one of my acquaintances from redmond. Go figure. I didn't even know until I saw Wuku OCV every team he came across at Evo until Blazblue grand finals. I figure since I have a strong community I might as well try out Blazblue.
|
Veteru and Wuku are sooo good, but HeartNana rapes them for free due to his experience :/
|
Man, I was wondering about that. Upon looking at the GG brackets, I had never heard of Wuku until someone said he was apparently a friend of Veteru.
|
Myrmidon, Kingkosi you guys wanna do a Blazblue session sometimes soon? My evenings are free this week.
Myrmidon I need to practice my close-ups against v13
