You should be honored to be chosen as my partner.
Devote all your best effort, or prepare to be disciplined.[5]
Cultured, knowledgeable, and calm, yet haughty, domineering, and self-centered. She almost never takes action on her own, and is almost always attended by her companions Nago and Gii.
Her Drive's ability, Silpheed, allows her to control the wind on the screen, making her a one-of-a-kind character. Throw items in the wind and manipulate the opponent's characters to be gracefully victorious! [6]
</tab> <tab name="BBCF">
Rachel manipulates the wind using her Drive "Silpheed" as she fights. Getting used to timing D attacks properly takes practice, but once learned, she's a character with unique and enjoyable moves.
At mid-range, use the long-reaching → + B or projectiles like Tiny Lobelia to control space between the opponent. When → + B scores a Counter Hit, it causes a stagger. If you use ↘ + D from a jump cancel, you can go for a close quarters combos with Jumping B. When Tiny Lobelia hits the ground, it creates a lightening rod. Launching Lotus Barrel with → + D then dashing allows Rachel to close the distance quickly.
Once in close, go from standing B, jump cancel Standing B, then quickly ↘ + A + D or ↘ + C + D. Jumping A or Jumping ↓ + C can even hit a crouching opponent, making it a good way to break crouching guards. Mix Standing B → Crouching B to break their guard. If the opponent closes in from the air, counter them with → + A. It can be jump cancelled only when it hits, so if you keep inputting a jump, you can go for a midair combo immediately if it connects.
When under pressure from the enemy, Crouching C is effective since it has a guard point against attacks. If you have Heat Gauge, a Counter Assault is also a solid choice.[7]

Carrying a large umbrella (Nago) in hand, Rachel's drive is a never-before-seen ability, Silpheed (Wind Gradient). Using the joystick and buttons along with various skills, place objects and control the pace of the match![1]
