Overview
Rachel is a high skill-floor/high skill-ceiling character. Her gameplan is a mix between strong zoning/screen control in neutral and strong mixup/setplay on offense. Her drive is a unique wind mechanic that can influence not only Rachel's movement and momentum, but her projectiles and even her opponent to a degree. Rachel's kit is quite well rounded with good buttons to poke, anti air, air to airs, and great projectiles that can cover almost any space when paired with wind and the infamous George XIII. Her main gameplan revolves around keeping and controlling space in neutral until she finds a hit that lets her get in, knock the opponent down and run her insane mix.

Rachel's Drive lets her summon wind in eight different directions by pressing the drive button while holding any direction (this defaults to a forward gust if no direction is held). These gusts are independent of what Rachel is doing and can be performed while she is doing anything else as long as Rachel isn't in hit or blockstun and isn't performing any tech roll.
Wind affects all of Rachel herself, her projectiles and her opponent's position (albeit much less strongly than Rachel is). Due to the ground having friction, players pushed by a gust while airborne will be affected much more strongly than on the ground.
The number of wind stocks available is indicated by a gauge above her meter bar, and each gust consumes one stock on a total of four available. The Sylpheed Gauge regenerates moderately fast while Rachel is on the ground (Approximately one stock per 220F), but much more slowly while Rachel is in the air (Approximately 7-8 times slower). The gauge will also more rapidly increase if she uses no stocks for 500F, at a speed of 1 stock per 60F, although it will still be slowed for being airborne. Since wind is used for various actions such as movement, mix-up, zoning and combos, it plays a core part in Rachel's game plan and thus requires careful and judicious management.Rachel's Overdrive Sylpheed gauge recovers faster.

Normal Moves
5A
- Chains into itself 3 times
Two hit jab that hits crouchers. Slow on whiff. Can gatling/special/jump cancel the first or second hit. 5A is primarily used to extend blockstrings or combos. The two hits are jump cancellable and both can be cancelled into 2B. This enables scary mix-ups with 5A(1~2) → j.2D~j.A or 2B.

5B covers a decent amount of space which makes it decent in short-ranged poking and as a counterpoke. It's also one of Rachel's two primary starters for punish combos. It hits all the way to the ground, which make it useful for OTGing and hitting low-profile characters. This normal is a strike projectile, meaning that projectile invulnerable moves will NOT go through it. 5B can only gatling into 2B once, requiring you to jump or stop your current blockstring in order to go low again. 5B is a level 2 move, so 5B → 9jc → j.2D → j.A is not gapless on IB.

Typically used in mid-screen combos to knock the opponent away for either an opportunity to setup or to send someone into the corner. In corner combos, it causes wall stick, allowing Rachel to further extend the combo. This is commonly seen in Rachel's 5CC loops. Can also be used as an ender which offers decent okizeme options since it can be special canceled.

- Chains into itself 3 times
A decent ranged and fast poke. Can chain into itself on whiff and has short recovery which makes it great for DP baiting and tick grabs. Because of Rachel's short crouching hitbox, it can also be used as a situational anti-air. When Rachel's opponent has a lot of moves that guard point or are invincible to projectiles, this is Rachel's go-to poke. Can also OTG characters, so it's a good tool for catching people attempting to late tech or roll.

- Launches high in the air on CH
A high risk, high reward move. On one hand, its guardpoint allows Rachel to interrupt your opponent and possibly combo out of it. However, it also comes with several flaws: the guardpoint is not frame 1 and will lose to any meaty, the startup is quite slow, it has poor horizontal range, and is extremely unsafe both on whiff and on block. 2C is also used in a small handful of combos due to its huge damage and excellent proration values (94% P2 with 110% bonus on the first use).

- Floats on ground hit
- 7-12 guard point (Head)
An absolutely absurd anti-air with guardpoint instead of head invulnerability. It locks the opponent into whatever jump-in they're taking, meaning this move will more often counterhit than not. It has a great hitbox and can even hit behind Rachel. Its size and fast recovery should not be understated, as this anti-air is extremely easy to use and leads to a ton of damage and easy conversions.
6A is used a lot in combos to either launch the opponent, combo into BBL, or as a means to gatling into 4B to continue combos. 6A has a lot of untech time on counter hit, allowing Rachel to perform a ground combo instead of an air combo. On normal hit, the most common extender is (5B) → j.C → 2D → 9jc → j.C → 6A. It's very stable and works at most heights. A more advanced version is (5B) → j.[C] → j.[C] → j.C → 6A it doesn't require any wind but doesn't work if the opponent is too high.

- Causes a stagger effect on ground Counter Hit
- Blows back and wallbounces on air Counter Hit
Rachel's longest poke. Great for dealing with people who are reckless with approach, have slow moves or have comparable reach with their pokes. On CH, 6B only blows back and wall bounces on air Counter Hit. Converting counterhit 6B into a full combo at max range is tricky but in general, you convert grounded CH into a full combo by linking micro dash 6B → jc j.3DB → j.C → etc.
6B is jump cancellable so it can also be used to extend combos/pressure if you are too far to hit the opponent with 5B. For example, 6B → (9jc → j.2D or j.3D~j.A) or 5D~3C is a 50/50 mix-up.

Rachel's only plus on block normal. On block she can gatling into j.2C or j.C, though j.C will whiff on crouching opponents. 6C will continue for as long as Rachel is in the air or until she cancels the move into another.
This move's recovery can be avoided by cancelling into j.C just before landing, allowing Rachel to be extremely plus on hit/block (into double-digit frame advantage) with proper timing, though wind is required to keep 6C on top of the opponent for its whole duration. Said wind could also instead be used for other mixups that don't potentially give the opponent over 10 meter from instant blocking, so overall 6C's usage as a pressure tool is fairly limited despite being plus on block.

3C is a common corner combo ender, allowing Rachel to place George, convert a rod into Lotus, or do 236B~9D in the corner. Can be used to extend combos by comboing into George, Sword Iris, or launching them with 8D. 3C is Rachel's only low outside of 2B. Rachel can also move a fair distance with 3C and wind, which can be useful in some aggressive setups after a 6B.
In pressure, sometimes doing a winded 3C can be a good low option when Rachel has been pushed farther out to compliment her other overhead option for getting back in (jc → j.2D~j.A). Please note that this move is -2 and thus can be punished by 5f jabs on IB. Linking a 2C after 3C on block is a risky frametrap, but works well if your opponent knows Rachel's pressure ends with 3C. Use this VERY sparingly or only when you have a rod nearby to cancel it into 214C, have meter to RC the 2C. Even with meter, 2C will often whiff, only hitting if the opponent is extremely close to Rachel or pushed a button to extend their hurtbox.
If you hold C while performing 3C, it will extend and do additional hits. This sees limited use outside of some side swap combos.

The input for Rachel's instant overhead is j.2D~j.A.
A fast aerial jab that hits overhead. j.A is a key part of Rachel's 50/50 mix up from 5B/5A as she can force the opponent to guess whether she'll do j.2D~j.A or 2B. It has short recovery, so can also be used for safe-jumps. Performing this instant overhead is most easily done from a blocked 5B. To practice this, set the opponent to block everything but to not switch block, then set them as crouching.

One of Rachel's two main jump-in normal. Slightly slower, but hits further than j.A which can make it a better jump-in option in most situations. When used in conjunction with j.3D and followed by a j.C, Rachel can move around halfscreen and easily convert into a deadly blockstring. Does not hit overhead.

- Can be held (j.[C]) to make Rachel float
- EXTREMELY useful in matchups against opponents that like to be airborne
j.C is an amazing air-to-air normal, it is very faster (even faster than j.B) and boasts a large hitbox located above Rachel on her side. Because of its huge hitbox, j.C is great for using against opponents above and to either side Rachel in the air. This is a very potent tool against characters who like staying in the air (i.e Hazama, Arakune).
As far as confirms are concerned, j.C has a ton of untech time on counterhit, allowing Rachel to bring them back to the ground with j.[C] → j.[C] → j.C → 6A. j.C → j.2D → 9jc → j.C can be used to drag the opponent to the ground without a counter hit. Even if this move is blocked, the blockstun is great enough that Rachel can often drag them back to the floor with wind to mix them up. Ending an air blockstring with this move will often leave the opponent on the ground, still in blockstun.

- Used in some air juggle routes to minimize wind usage
- Retains some aerial momentum
- While held, Rachel's falling speed is fixed and does not accelerate on its own. Rachel descends faster the the higher up she is.
Rachel slowly floats to the ground. After a short delay, Rachel is able to cancel the float into attacks or airdash, or even block while floating. Inputting Barrier after the delay will cancel the float, but if the buttons are already held beforehand then Rachel will be able to Barrier in float.
Going into j.[C] can let Rachel do other moves slightly (2 frames) sooner than recovering from j.C, allowing Rachel to continue combos she otherwise would not be able to. It can also be used as a stalling mechanic to win via the clock, as it allows Rachel to freely wind herself in different directions and stay in the air for a very long time. Rachel falls more quickly for a period of time if she's winded too high, often making it more optimal to simply use wind to push Rachel upwards instead of using j.[C] with it.

Rachel summons a platform beneath her and drops straight down. Hits overhead at the start, but becomes a mid shortly after.
j.2C has different hit properties depending on how fast Rachel is falling when she connects.
- Level 1 will bring the opponent down with her on an air hit, no special properties on a ground hit. Scales damage much harder than higher levels.
- Level 2 brings opponents down much faster and groundbounces them, even on ground hit.
- Level 3 brings opponents down slightly slower than Level 2, but still groundbounces them and has a much longer untechable time. It also forces a Fatal Counter even on a normal hit, and allows for longer combos when used as a starter. Because of how fast Rachel needs to be falling to reach Level 3, it is unlikely for it to ever still be an overhead by the time it connects.
j.2C can be special canceled on hit, but not on block. Its ground recovery can also be cancelled both normals and specials on hit. On block or whiffs, Rachel will instead be left vulnerable. The hitbox is also smaller than the hurtbox below Rachel, so it can be anti-aired somewhat easily even by attacks without head invuln. Most of the time when you see this normal, it will be a botched j.236C input.
j.2C level 2 is used in some very advanced combos. It launches the opponent very high which allows Rachel to get either one 214A or j.214B before continuing the combo.

Decent sized grab. Despite its animation, it reaches in front and above Rachel and not very far below. If Rachel is low enough to the ground, she can follow up with microdash 5B to do a ground combo. If she's higher up, she may need to use wind, though in most cases a microdash 6A will do the trick. Despite Rachel's amazing air mobility, this move surprisingly doesn't see that much use. j.C is often the preferred air-to-air thanks to hit box and better conversions.

- A Lobelia (ground version only) has Same Move Prorate
- When a Lobelia hits the corner, the active frames will refresh, allowing it to hit up to two times
- Lobelias can be detonated even when airborne, allowing for quick vertical zoning off of Lobelias that remain in the air longer, like 236B and 236C
Rachel launches a Rugby ball-shaped seed that flies in an arc and is completely active unless cancelled out by another projectile or hits the ground. Ground A-C Lobelia travel from shortest distance to longest. In the air, this order is backwards with A air Lobelia travelling the farthest.
With both B and C Lobelia, Rachel will be able to take another action while the projectile is still airborne, allowing for her to place Lotus in creative places or throw out multiple Lobelias at once. This means that Rachel gains the ability to create a difficult to pass barrier for the opponent to advance as well as gives Rachel the opportunity to convert the Lobeila into Lotus mid flight.
Rachel can extend the distance or change the trajectory of Lobelia by using wind. When Lobelia hits the ground, they will plant a rod where they land. Only three rods can exist at a time and rods will disappear and be replaced by order of oldest to newest. The rods can then be activated with either Sword Iris, Baden Lily, or Lotus, disappearing after one of these actions is taken.
Lobelias do not float on hit. Air B and C Lobelia knock the opponent towards the ground while A air Lobelia will send them flying across the screen. Lobelias can bounce off the corner, which refreshes their active frames, allowing for easier setups into multiple rods for Baden Baden Lily. This means Lobelias hit twice when used right in the corner, making them crucial for combo extension or oki in the corner.

- George has 750 Health
- All attacks on George deal unscaled damage
- Projectiles push George away but deal no damage
- Decent oki tool
- Good for controlling ground space and convincing the opponent to move the way you want to
- Good for covering an approach to start pressure on block
- Startup occurs when George arrives at opponent's position
- Floats on hit
- Hitboxes disappear extremely quickly on whiff
While on screen, George will very slowly follow the opponent. If Rachel uses wind towards the opponent, George will slide forward. If Rachel uses wind away from the opponent, George will walk in place. George provides Rachel with ground control, forcing opponents to take a risk to deal with George or take to the air where Rachel can control the space with Lobelias/Lotus/Sword Iris or stop air approaches with 6A or j.C. If someone commits to killing George, Rachel can take that opportunity to punish them or just summon another one.
If George's lightning is blocked. Rachel has time to set up more projectiles or go for mixups with instant overhead j.A.
If George's lightning whiffs then his hitboxes disappear very quickly. This makes it possible to delay tech through his active frames if timed correctly.

Rachel twirls and places a coffin at her feet, which opens instantly upon touching the ground, creating a stationary formation of bats over it. Rather than doing damage in the normal way, the bats can deal damage over time as long as the opponent remains in the cloud. Using wind causes the bat formation to distort in the direction of wind used and deal damage at a greatly increased rate, allowing Rachel to use multiple Ivies per combo. The winded bats will slowly drift back towards their source afterwards. Ivy is not active for very long and will disappear if Rachel is hit.
Ivy's most common use is in corner combos, especially after Baden Baden Lily, though it is occasionally used midscreen and in neutral to reduce the opponent to one-touch-kill or to force them to move, though this is usually used in conjunction with lobelias, Lotus, and/or George.
- Key summon for Rachel's big damage corner combo routes
- Cannot reduce health below 1
- Damage caused by this move does not count as "hitting" the opponent in any way, it inflicts no hit or blockstun, cannot be blocked, ignores all combo scaling and timers and ignores invulnerabilities.
- Damage is unscaled, maximum damage is capped at 500.
- Damage is only 3 per frame unless blown by wind, which increases it to 21, 24 or 27 per frame for 60F depending on how many have been used in the current combo
- Duration capped at 200F, will expire early if damage cap is reached
- Damage can be avoided if the opponent uses barrier
- If a new Ivy Blossom is created, the previous one immediately ends.
- Initial coffin projectile is affected by wind, changing where it lands.

- Frame advantage calculated off of shortest jump
- Floats on hit
- Will ignite both rods planted by Tiny Lobelia and bats attached via Barrel Lotus
When Rachel uses Tiny Lobelia, she plants various rods on the screen. These rods stay out until they are activated. As explained in the Tiny Lobelia notes, only three rods can be on the screen at any given time and if more Lobelia are thrown, the rods will be replaced from oldest to newest. When Rachel uses the Sword Iris command, a bolt of lighting will strike all the rods, creating a long vertical hitbox that extends to the top of the screen. Upon activation, all the rods on screen disappear and new ones must be set. When used appropriately, Sword Iris is very good for stopping approaches, especially from the air. It can also be used to extend combos or pressure. Because it floats on hit, Rachel can use it as a way to launch opponents without spending wind.

- Best oki tool in the corner
- Good at controlling space in neutral
- Increases effect of wind when attached
- Makes 5D wind home in on the opponent when attached
- If not attached, will disappear if Rachel is hit
- If attached stays on for about 7 seconds
Aside from activating rods with Sword Iris, Rachel also can turn her rods into Lotus. When activated, the existing rods turn into helicopter bats and home in on the opponent. The bats only travel a short distance. However, the distance/speed travelled can also be enhanced greatly by wind. Lotus do a small amount of damage on hit, but will attach on hit or block.
When Lotus are attached, they can also be activated into lightning with Sword Iris while tracking the opponent as well as when they are attached to the opponent, at which point they're essentially homing rods. This makes them extremely useful for punishing someone attempting to out-zone Rachel.
Lotus has both quick startup and little recovery. As a result, it's become a strong tool to use in neutral and as oki. In neutral, it's a low risk space control tool with relatively high reward. For oki, Lotus perform a similar provides a hitbox independent of Rachel, meaning Rachel can block while Lotus is active, allowing her to easily bait reversals and command respect on her knockdown.

Because Rachel's game is heavily dependent on corner carry, Baden Lily is primarily used in corner combos. Baden Lily hits all the way to the top and bottom of the screen, so if for some reason someone is above you or far below Rachel and hitting buttons for no reason, it's a potential option as a starter.
In Overdrive, stacked rods have bonus proration and a very high amount of minimum damage, making it worth it to spend extra wind to get as many rods stacked before activating it.
632146C and OD 632146C count as different supers. Therefore, 632146C → 214B → OD → OD 632146C~8D doesn't trigger same move proration and thus leads to high damage combo enders.

Tempest's objects start to arc and fall down to the ground shortly after passing by Rachel. However, Tempest's main use is its ability to regenerate 2 stocks of wind, making it great to get back wind when Rachel's running low. Best used with super jump back → 632146B. It creates an wall of objects that are difficult to pass. Should the opponent pass them, however, Rachel can still perform actions on falling. The projectiles can also be manipulated using wind, allowing Rachel to blow them downwards to cover herself.
Be VERY cautious when using this move on the ground, as some opponents with projectile invuln or full invuln charges will gladly take the opportunity to smack you out of Tempest, resulting in you losing neutral, not gaining wind, and losing 50 meter. Examples would be Tager's B Sledge, Ragna's Carnage Scissors, and Azrael's Black Hawk Stinger.

One of the fastest, easiest Astrals to combo into in the game. It has guard point from frame 1, making it a decent reversal option. Rachel can combo into it from anything except 5C, 2A, and 5CC midscreen, which makes it easy to use to seal a game. Do note that even though it guard points for 50 frames, there is still only one active attack, so beware moves that will clash like DPs, other guard point moves, and super counters like Yukikaze and Hakumen's/Noel's Astral. It can also be RC'd off of since it's guard point, allowing the opponent to block before it becomes active.
