I posted it on the General Discussion, but it belongs here:

Kameo Sektor

meterless

f43-bKameo, 34, f34, f2-df2 (341.29 dmg)
f22-bKameo, 34, f34, f2-df2 (342.29 dmg)
2421-bKameo, 34, f3, f2-df2 (367.42 dmg)
2421-normal kameo (call it when u press practically 24), df1 (rocket lands when df1 hits), f34, f34, f2-df2 (411.08 dmg)
2421-normal kameo-df1,2421-normal kameo-df1, f34,f34,f22-df2 does like 460+


with meter just amp df2 and then f2 or 4 df2 depending if you are in the corner or not

corner

easy
starter, bKameo, slighty step back, 34, 34, 24-df2

hard
starter, bKameo, slighty step back, 34, f34, 242-df2

while df2 is finishing you can call kameo for the rocket and setup

aight team scorpion kameo might be where the big dmg is,

2121, DF2 + UP Kameo -> 212, DF2 + UP Kameo -> 3, DF2.

I think this is just scratching the surface as there's probably a way to end the combo more efficiently than 3,DF2 but wanted to share as it is to get some help pumping the numbers up.

Sorry IDK how to edit posts but I put the wrong inputs.

2421, DF2 + UP Kameo -> 242, DF2 + UP Kameo -> 3, DF2.

Annoying finicky 34 optimal: 34, dash 34, j212~BF3 (342.18) (you need to dash fast enough that they don't fall too far down but not do 34 quick enough that they are too high for the 4 to miss, and even then the j2 is rather annoying to land)
Really consistently easier 34 combo(s)
34, F34, dash F22~DF2 (325.02)
34, (can add a dash here if you like) 34, j13~BF3 (328.86) (I prefer this one because instant corner carry)

With Sektor Kameo:
BKameo, 34, j212~BF3 (269.61)
BKameo, 34, j13~BF3 (257.24) (this one I like)

Optimal is BKameo, 34, F34, S3~DF2 (292.29) which also has needs to time the 34 well, and if you don't you end up whiffing the last 2 hits of F34 which has a lot of recovery

I know that we all like damage and ppl are already screaming for our damage to get nerfed (even though literally every other character can get similarly heinous damage with kameos), but I'm starting to dislike ending things in shocker midscreen because you're only +26 and that barely gives enough time to do one dash then meaty with our buttons which are usually 15-20f startup. The air superman is +43 and gives significantly more corner carry, giving us more time for setups and letting us get ppl to the corner where we can mix them to death (which I believe might still be the win condition for current Raiden). The drawback is you lose 2-3% of damage off your midscreen BNBs, but you're still breaking 300 damage at least.

Admittedly I don't have any good way to combo into superman off our regular starter~EXDF2 routes without sacrificing damage, but at least our meterless routes will benefit from this?

Nice, I like it! You're totally right, I was ending combos with df2 + sektor rocket.

I mean I guess we can ex df2 and then superman?

Yeah but doing F43 EXshocker then superman seems like an unacceptable sacrifice of damage. For shocker Enders having a rocket to cover wakeups is pretty neat but for some reason up rocket doesn’t actually have a lot of block stun so you’re not really that plus I feel. Also if you end up using telepunch for a meterless combo then you’ve used the entire bar of kameo and I don’t like that personally.

I tried f43-exdf2, f34-superman does 332.83 dmg leaves at +38
f43-exdf2, bkameo sektor, 13-superman 332 dmg +45 (FIXED)

whiles f43-exdf2, f34, f22,shoker does 375.68 dmg +26

4% ain't that much

You can get superman to combo after F34? Nice. I need to try that then.
for the second combo do you mean j13?

With Scorpion as your Kameo you can pull off some fun things.
Using Scorp's U+Kameo that crosses up and attempts to knock the enemy back towards you...

123, U+Kameo (continue as you like)
Normally 123 doesn't have much use (the last hit has an odd delay) but Scorp can pop the enemy back to you for continuation. Useful for when your frame window is small.
