BlazBlue Continuum Shift Rachel vs Hakumen

[gamrage]

Pure skill there.. Hakumen who kills people in 5-6 hits, Vs nerfed Rachel..

[Koumeii]

Rachel f*cking kicks ass, most of my favourites are of pro rachel players, winners or losers.

Rachel has her amazing projectiles and her has high low close up combo rush down abilities along with the wind to always keep close to your opponent is amazing. Some people just don't understand that lol.

[SKITRYM]

thats so strange!!

i thought she had black hair with this costume!!

[tonberrykid02]

*yawn* Wake me up when they announce Guilty Gear X3.

[rugal14]

@tonberrykid02 Haven't you heard?? The Guilty Gear™ series is over, so keep dreaming.

[enoching7]

problem with her is that rachel players ended up playing a keep away game with that lightning puppet she keeps throwing, so no one, esp hakumen who needs to air dash to get anywhere, could get close to her. then when they finally got past her force field of lightning rods she'd just use the same 4 low attack moves.

[catdogslice]

what in the holy hell is that nu looking force field that hakumen used to deflect rachels lobelia with !?!

They nerfed rachel sooo terribly bad. talk about unnessecary

[goldhedgehog]

@catdogslice do you mean the portal looking field?

That's a Hakumen only ability. Hakumen can use his C attacks to nullify any of the opponents projectiles (except for tager's spark bolt I think) The field remains for about 5-7 seconds and any more projectiles that come in contact with it get negated. Also if the opponent comes in contact with the field, they will get knocked down. (combo off if its possible, probably not though)

[KatBrawl]

I think people complain too much when something becomes harder to do.....rachel seems fine. I didn't even notice a difference. Still a good chara.

[EvIsH232]

@KatBrawl Its just that everyone got beefed up but rachel got her damage nerfed.

[KatBrawl]

@EvIsH232 I know...she's as weak as taokaka now and rachel players complain..how you think tao players feel with such weak moves >_>?

I don't think rachel players have explored her enough yet to complain.

[alteredtranquil]

Holy shit, Rachel actually won.

[tangkevin88]

I love how Boukensha Tachi is playing in the bg lol.

[holonboy]

Barf?

[Pyrobaconstudios]

I realy dig the range that new thrust move hakumen has shown at the beginning. I'm also glad they didn't nerf rachel too much and find the fact that the frog can be pushed now AWESOME.

[Siberianhusky89]

That's a joke right? She's horrible now. There's practically nothing good about her. She may be "legit" now, but she's below legit. You know how they make a tier that's below low tier? Rachel is probably Rachel tier now. Low damage output, low health, crappier okizime game, crappier pressures, her frog practically no damage, I feel bad for her and I'M a TAGER player.

[212809]

Your absolutely right. From my experience, players who used to main Rachel in CT have stopped using her in CS.

[Siberianhusky89]

Yeah, they actually all went 1 tier up. Now, they main Tsubaki (Which kind of shows that they're not really tier whores, they just really liked Rachel). I pity her, I mean, nerfing's fine... But raping is just crossing the line.

[Drakkish]

I must ask are you a tournament player? i doubt it. You cant tell if a characters good or not. Am sure you go on gamfaqs and gamespot and post whos gof tier ect ect. The game hasint even been out long enough to tell. I Don't know much about BB i dont really play it because i think GG is way better. Am a seasoned GG tournament player so i dare to to even try to say one of the characters sucks. Blazblue is decent so stop trying to sound like your some genious. the games new and rach is still fine.

[Siberianhusky89]

I love Guilty gear by the way : P Also, she's shit tier. Check on Dustloop, check ANYwhere and she's considered horrible. I'm not making shit up because I think it's true, tournament players know she's complete and utter shit, the best Rachel even stated she's shit, so don't act like I'm pulling crap out my ass. I forgive you.

[Drakkish]

Nice! i respect that. GG For life man. i guess i was kinda frustrated but i still stand by it man. i may not agree with what you say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it :P From a techinical standpoint shes lacking but the games new things will be discovered am sure. Am sorry for being rude back there. We both love a series that isint to mainstreem we have to stay united lol.

[Siberianhusky89]

True that my brother! People don't realize how different Guilty and Blazblue are. I mean, Guilty is so fucking amazing and it just seems kinda wrong calling Blazblue a "spiritual successor". You know? Anyhow, I didn't start around this new gen... I hate these new generation of fighters to be honest, but what can you do? Also, no worries man, it's all good.

[Drakkish]

Wow its amazing to hear that. I hardley play BB i gotta keep the GG soul alive. BB is taking over where i live wich bugs me. Old generation fighters are where it takes skill. All this new crap where the company dumbs it down so more people can get into it is bullshit. SF4 is one of the weakest of the SF Blazblue is the weakest as well and hell even tvc Dosent compare to good old CVS2 and MVC2. Nice to know theres some GG lovers still. Everyone play GG not BB lol

[RealJollyRoger]

@Siberianhusky89 real men play her anyway. Because tiers are for queers.

[Siberianhusky89]

Yeah XD She can still win a match, just not as easy. They didn't need to KILL her, just nerf her. But again, she can still win.

[Courvossier123]

@Siberianhusky89 I bet you throw her thrice too. :P

[supersaninpikachu]

@Siberianhusky89 Im a pressure based Bang, and not all that good at even THAT, and i feel bad for Rachel.

[Siberianhusky89]

@supersaninpikachu

Yeah, what sucks is Tager was still the lowest tier in CS1.

[FullMetalNothing]

holy shet, rachel can push her froggy and use the lightning in mid-air, i might start maining rachel again xD

[Harvest13moon13]

U've always been able to do those things....

[FullMetalNothing]

lol, obviously u don't play with rachel, that puts rachel so much at an advantage now since she CAN do it now. she wasn't able to do it before

[Harvest13moon13]

I can't believe they didn't nerf down hakumen's damage... y just rachel.... (sob)

[waterrobot111]

hakumen attacks are pretty slow therefore they have to increase his damage

[Damie904]

His range is godly though the new thrust almost goes across the whole screen.

[Onitoga]

Lol Wind pushes George now. :P

Weeeeee

[ElFlako26]

Nasty New Rachell Cant Wait For This 1

[Shadokaryuudo]

they didn't remove the overhead property, but they removed the ability to cancel it into normals so she can no longer do her standard pressure strings involving it...if you notice in the video when she did it she couldn't continue to apply pressure

[guildwarsdabest]

wait a minute, i thought they had removed rachel's j.2C's overhead property, it seems like it was brought back

[Makingnewnamesisdumb]

So if you use a C attack on one of Noel's C or Drive attacks you make a black hole that effs her up? I wonder what would happen if you cut into the first hit on her super... It would be insane if it completely stopped the super from hitting you and got bigger with every projectile after the first, eventually hitting her no matter what the range is, and you could run through and combo her.

Wishful thinking, perhaps. Still, I wonder if it could be useful against Nirvana and Lambda.

[xSuizetsux]

does anyone know what hakumen's black hole does???im a little confused about it

[0megaD]

when he cuts a projectile it turns into a black hole that absorbs any projectiles that get shot into it.

Kinda like a shield that doesn't move. That's as much as I remember xd

[xSuizetsux]

it looks like it repels projectiles or that's what it looks like to me lol

[dethman32]

doesnt it hit anyone who runs into it too?

[doug1291]

is that hakumen using the powers of THE VOID?! exdeath approves.

[StaticShock13]

lolz WASSUP DOUG!!! Exdeath does approve.

[MagusAsuki]

EH!!?

U can do sword Iris in Air now?

RACHEL IS SO GONNA KICK-ASS!!!!

X333333333333333

[draxcir]

I love reading the comments. Never played the game so it sounds like u guys are talking a different language. Think imma pick this up.

[dethman32]

If you get the 1st game to start out with, you'll be doing the same thing they are.

[Mawiely]

that new JC looks like utter shit

[InfinityFlowJ]

I hope one thing they fix is the stupidly loud electricity sound. Seriously, every time Rachel activates her electricity, my speakers explode.

[SlackisDead]

You kidding me?

The best part about the electricity is that it's loud.

That way you know you're getting your ass kicked

[jazzplaya44]

Im glad to see rachels frog (king george III?) no longer activates when the opponent has been knocked down

[masterdante54]

it does just wasnt close enough

[tinymon]

Because it's not like she has six other options to hit you while you're down. >_>;

[KogashiwaKai]

so thats that projectile counter I heard he got, so it seems that it can block other projectiles but can it do any damage too?

[Omegashrimp9]

I heard that it is a trap that damages opponents that come in contact with it.

[neokyo2k]

yooooooooo did hakumen create that barrier?? Siiiiick, but where di fuck is ragna???

[DavetzWin]

so Rachel has gone from loli to JB lol

[selitham]

What are you talking about, Hakumen is beast, the guy playing him just sucks or is experimenting.

[kenn305]

hakumen has been amped up you are tripping

[TheAcidHairball]

It's true, Hakumens been buffed. The guy playing him just isn't that great.

[kenn305]

but his stomp move *6B* is now two hits and it looks weird

[TheAcidHairball]

It now has more chip damage if blocked, it's even more beastly.

[kenn305]

oh yeah i forgot about that

did they nerf litchi

if they did i will *put gun to head then shoot smiley here*

[XavierRose3001]

litchi lost her 3C combos, and a good bit of her corner trap game (difficult to DP 6C 3C at the end of combos) but can now use some cool other stuff...I think she'll be fine...it's noel you gotta worry about lol

[kenn305]

noel looks cool but i heard she got freaking super nerf not even nerf like freaking remodel like a car lol atleast optic barrel is cool and faster like optic *bam* barrel

[crazycrackerspeach]

hakumen is way better than he was before. The guy here is probably just readjusting, experimenting, or not very good.

[bloodboy1444]

your fucking crazy

[Jedimasternate4]

thank fucking lord

[crazycrackerspeach]

glad they toned down the rachel nerfs :D

[arkivezero]

Rachel!!!!!!

she's playable again
