Sakaku Report post Posted November 3, 2013 Discuss the Noel matchup here. Seems like her stagger pressure has gotten a lot worse/is non existent now. Our 3C will hit her 3 times now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gli Report post Posted November 4, 2013 Thankfully you can react to 2D now. Other than that this matchup feels the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordiris Report post Posted November 18, 2013 Any tips on zoning Noel? I played this matchup a few times and got squashed by a good Noel. Her Long Range Optic Barrel was messing me up. Seems to hit full screen now and I don't remember it doing that. Also 4D seems stronger now. I used to react with 2B in Extend and win out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Errol Report post Posted November 18, 2013 I think 4d is weaker in this matchup in that regard. it lost head invuln so it can't be used against winded approaches at all. it's the same speed but it has a lot more body invuln.. and projectile invuln. You're losing to it because 2b is a projectile. in EX the invuln went away before the strike, i used to just mash 5a through it until it hit her at times... try 2a or 3c Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will try that. 2A for Rachel does seem more useful this time around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kuuhaku Report post Posted January 14, 2014 I was watching some of N-O's matches against Noel players and it seems like meaty j.A works pretty well. 4D only has body and projectile invulnerability, so j.A will beat it clean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
