So have people been making too much of a big deal on the Rachel nerfs? A lot of people have said not to worry about it but I just want to know an opinion from someone who has extend.

Well Rachel and Tsubaki are kind of in the same boat with this one. Both got some nerfs and some very slight buffs. For Rachel what those are I'm not too sure atm but I think she'll be ok.

I'll be going to the next Sodium Showdown, next Sunday. Apparently they'll be playing Extend, so hopefully. I'll be able to see if Rachel can put up with the other characters after what I've read on the changes...

Well, since no one has said anything since the game has come out, I guess I'll start. I got it day one (from my lovely boyfriend as a Valentine's Day present ^_^) and after these two days, here are my first, VERY EARLY impressions. Feel free to counter anything I say that you disagree with, especially since the Rachel forums barely have any love.

-j.2C special cancelling is fun and quite useful, particularly when you don't always do it and your opponent doesn't see it coming and they are forced to block the frog :twisted:
- For whatever reason, the Carl matchup seems harder this time around, but I don't think it's because of her damage nerf. Any Carl players know why this might be?
-The damage nerf is annoying at times and is taking a bit of getting used to, but it's not too bad (nowhere near CS1 badness)
-Combos are essentially the same, which is good, but due to changes on untechable time (less untechable time) some are harder to pull off
-BBL damage nerf, at least in my opinion, was made out to be way worse than it is
-Ragna despite being S tier still seems like a favorable matchup for her
-Relius' range and that move where Ignis bashes you from behind (214B I think) could be problematic

That's all for now. I'll contribute more the more I play the game.

I noticed the same things with the Carl matchup.

Rachel pretty much feels the same as CS2. Another thing I've noticed is that the cat chair nerf was made to be worse than it was.

The move is still godly. I've catchaired out of astrals.

Double post because I have a question.

I know there is a j.2C cancel but I don't know how to take advantage yet.

Anybody have a good combo that makes use of j.2c ancel?

I'm not too sure on great, super damaging combos, but if you have a rod nearby you can activate Sword Iris and combo from there. I'm also pretty sure combos can be done from 236B, but I think they have tricky timing. A nice pressure situation you can do though is to set out George and then 236A. It's not escaped most times and you get a free, safe mixup.
