*Additional Notes
Rachel is a "Heavyweight" character
The 3T offensive hold (OH) is great against crouching stances such as Helena's bokuho, Brad Wong's laydown or Ayane's twirls for instance
PPK & PPT can be used to catch people that try to sidestep the P-strings such as PPP, PP2K, etc.
After a 66T OH on NH, you can be devious and go for a 41236T launcher throw afterwards
Rollthrough can be entered off of PP2P+K/PP8P+K
The 63214[T] OH can be useful at range as a whiff punisher if the opponent is likely to whiff right in front of you
Rachel doesn't have a go-to jumping low crush (Rachel's crushing ability in general isn't really good)
If the Yurlungur stomps (Downed 2K) whiff, Rachel can get punished
Rachel's counter hold against a jumping kick is similar to her Mid K Hold

For Directional Notation:

4 5 6
