She still remains an overall solid character and is lethal in the right hands despite her limited moveset and slower speed, as well as lacking a standalone jump attack and a mid kick besides her wake up kick that tracks, limiting her tracking options to mid punches and high attacks. She also gained an on hit throw attack from two of her mid punch attacks, and her stomp still forces the opponent up leaving them at a major disadvantage which gives her an edge over the other characters. She’s also gained an offensive hold that while slow, can be charged and if charged to the max, it’ll deal increased damage as well as environmental damage, making it dangerous. In Dead or Alive 6, Rachel plays mostly the same, with only a few adjustments to her safety on guard and advantage after certain attacks, and she also now has a bound property attack as well as different stun and knock down properties from certain moves. She overall is a fairly balanced character, with her speed and lack of move mix-ups being her only major disadvantages. She is recommended for all skill levels, due to her simplistic combos, high damage output and wide range of safe moves. Her holds can help her win in extremely tense matches, and since most of them involve hitting the opponent away, they do downright horrific damage when her opponent is near a wall.
She also has a special sidestep that can follow up with a launcher or a tracking low kick, and she also has a light ground attack that can force the opponent up while they are on the ground that gives Rachel a slight frame advantage.
She is also a heavy weight character, allowing less juggle options to be performed on her. Her combos are damaging, but they are short, and relatively easy to hold and counter her speed is also below average, making her easy to predict, as she lacks many moves, and her combo starters lack many follow up attacks that can confuse the opponents.Still, a lot of her moves are safe on block. She can also throw the opponent while they’re in the air, causing them to bounce and allowing her to perform longer air combos. She has a high damage output, and her throws do very good damage. Rachel’s fighting style is an improved version of SPARTAN-458’s: she utilizes brawler style attacks, but Rachel doesn’t seem to use any formal martial art or style. Although her cool demeanor may not show it, Rachel enjoys going face-to-face against familiar fighters once again. She participated in the Dead or Alive World Combat Championships as an excuse to hone her fiend hunting abilities without the risk of killing her opponents. As a half-fiend herself, her beauty belies a dangerous strength. Rachel’s life’s purpose is to eradicate fiends. Believing there is no cure for their condition, Rachel sought out Alma through much of Ninja Gaiden in order to kill her to redeem her soul. By the events of Ninja Gaiden, the curse has consumed Alma. Since birth, Rachel and her twin sister Alma have been afflicted with a blood curse that turns humans into fiends. With Hayabusa’s aid, she was able to accomplish her heart breaking goal and the two have been close friends ever since. She met Ryu Hayabusa while on a crusade to slay her own twin sister, whose fiend blood had corrupted her human side. Rachel is a fiend hunter from the Holy Vigoor Empire who debuted in the 2004 title, Ninja Gaiden, though made her Dead or Alive debut in the 2013 title, Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate.Ĭursed by her demonic fiend heritage, Rachel’s goal in life is to hunt down and destroy all demons in existence.
