Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

okay, so yeah. rachel definitely needs something done about her. she pretty much has every advantage you can have in the game maybe except speed. which she makes up for with her mixups and that air grab. you can't even think of doing wakeup kicks to keep her pressure off of you and is the only character in the game that can do so. and it's annoying to face her because you know the rachel player is just gonna fish for one of her many tools to launch you in the air to do her braindead air throw combo into her ground hit. she's probably one of the only heavy characters that are actually positive on her guard breaks too. that i've noticed. i'm mainly just annoyed at how i can see that i'm being beaten with little effort on their part.
 
I just spent the last hour running Brad and punishing stupid crap using 2H+KK mix ups into 50/50s. I literally spent entire matches running this move against B ranked players and no one. Not. One. Soul. stopped me from doing it. I don't know whether is lack of understanding behind the character or just playing dumb. Most of the players held instead of slow escaping and blocking, and if they did block or held poorly, I start up the 2H+KK vortex again.

I fought this rather lousy B- player who used Christie, then Helena, then Kokoro. Never bothered to block at all. Kept running strings even after I was blocking all them (seriously, I'm just sitting there and holding block and he keeps running off strings, never considers throwing or what not). When I started punishing with 2H+KK he holds, I run in do 2H+KK again, again he holds, I run in and do 2H+KK again and again he holds. This repeats until about 70% of his health is gone and he finally gets knocked down by the follow up 2H+KK.

Strangely, despite all the abuse I did with this move, I did not receive any rage or hate mail.

In fact, the only hate mail I received was from earlier today playing a Hitomi player. I went two games with this person, one of which I won and the other I lost. On the second match, after I lost I get mail from him complaining about me playing Momiji defensively.

In fact... now that I think about it, most of my mail from other players comes after I lose... not after I win.

Anyway, 4 promotions today. D+ to C+. Huzzah...
