No it is all about how good PL's Raiden is. The 334 tele on some armor moves just helps.
.... That's meant to be a secret?
...so this is some sort of ass-lickin thread?
what about his interruptible strings? I remember Tom Brady showing how to interrupt his best strings (334 and that other one B312?). raiden is infinitely better online imo.
Like I said before I place Raiden at probably around the 9th spot...and most of the top 10 he goes even with.
His pressure isn't as bad as you're making it out to be. You can escape out of any character's pressure with the right counter. Raiden has some decent pressure up close... just no overhead/low mixups that are that worthwhile. But you can definitely overwhelm people with Raiden up close and force them to make a mistake.
No. This is about Raidens 334 xx teleport tech, that no one knew, but after it got revealed that its 334 xx teleport, everyone came to the conclusion that this is known for ages. Thats the reason you see so many Raiden player avoiding XRays and armor moves.
His only real pressure is f+2,4 in the corner and tele shenanigans. It's only semi-good vs no armor slow ass character like noob saibot or ermac (and even vs them he is like 6-4, not 7-3 for sure).I can't call that decent. Please, prove me wrong.
Everyone knew that, cuz every raiden player does 3,3,4,tele going for combo. That's the real reason why they avoid xrays and armor moves.
go take some pills
First of all, f24 isn't even pressure. It's one string. Yeah it gives pushback and puts you at good spacing, but dude raiden has pressure. It has holes in it, but so does everyone else's pressure.
I should play your Raiden...
you should. add me on xbl TYM Chaosphere. Or go to season's beatings. I'll be there.
I'm definately going.
f24 is the only real pressure string, cuz it gives +frames on block and the pushback makes these+frames fully abusable only in the corner. All ur pressure options are even or neutral on block, so that's not better than scorpion's 111 pressure or smth like that. Backdash b312 is good insome matchups though, but d1~vb is a sure way to get urself killed, if i'm blocking low, btw it can be jumped out after 334. Vb is even on block, so i don't get why r u trying to dash after it to my face, cuz most players will try to lowpoke or smth like cage's/shang's knee after that.
I can already tell that you don't play Raiden at all.
First of all, f24 is 0 on block so... you just argued against yourself as far as moves that end at 0 go. Sure you can block d1~vb low... just like you can block d1~cutter low. I'm not saying d1~vb is as good as d1~cutter, but the concept is the same. And no, you can't jump out after blocked 334 if I d1... unless every single person I've ever done it to is jumping late. Either way, I could opt to do standing 1~vb which will hit them if they are standing or if they are blocking low then just 12 will come out and 1 will whiff but they'll have to block the 2 since it hits mid. Or if I think you're going to hold block at all I'll just throw. I dash after blocked vb to put my other moves in range to hit them in instances where I try to do a string starting with f2 or if I try to d3.
This
Damn, that makes raiden even worse....
Everybody's pressure has holes, but raiden's has much more than say shang or baraka, that's all i'm trying to say. And that's not a bad thing, raiden is a well-balanced character that goes 5-5 with 90% of the cast due to his unique tools. If he had real pressure (like he had pre-patch), he'd be at least top5 for sure.
