I am personally less worried about conversions (there are probably some) than about initial anti-air tool. Armoring every jump-in sounds a bit impractical to me lol. Some people suggest converting off f1somehow, and maybe that's good enough, I'm not sure if that will work against most annoying things like jump-ins with 16 active frames and long hitbox and the like. Gotta test.
Oh how I wish this were true. Most of the fancy combo videos you see with Raiden are completely out of context being in training room. Most of this stuff is very unlikely against even less than capable opponents. Nothing Raiden does is safe...nothing. Even this string for example requires early input to link. If you don't, you're not linking the attack and ending on a neutral raiden. If you enter it on block, you're open to massive easy punish.
I think vicinity blast will play a role. if you hit with regular vicinity blast high enough, you can run cancel out of it and convert to combo. I think D4~vb will be great for keeping people in the corner if you think they'll jump. 4~vb kinda works too. Haven't played with it enough. Maybe f1~vb for anti air.
Displacer/MoS seem to need b14 after b2>run since they don't have a full f1,2 string. I haven't gotten it to work reliably at b2's max range, and fuck all trying to get it to work online, I've resorted to just b2 into fly at this point for online play.
Yeah, the Thunder God specific strings are much more effective.
So Thunder God gains that, but loses the f2,2+4 filler from TonyT's video earlier.
It's interesting because at closer distance b111+3 connects pretty reliable after b2, run. I should test that.
You don't really lose f2, 2+4 . It just changes a bit but you can still do an electric fly or ex shocker after charging it. The main thing about Thunder God that i prefer is the b32 that can go into f12 ex shocker.
Well, the beauty of regular f22+4 string is that you can link it into another string, with TG it's maybe doable in the corner, but that's it.
Yeah, but the timing on doing another string after f22+4 has to be impeccable.
Yeah, it's somewhat tight, and is also affected by precision of initiating that b22+4 after whatever juggled your opponent, as well as inputting whatever you are going to link after f22+4 early enough.
b32 also leads into b14 which leads into 30% meterless
46-47 sounds about right, in the corner you can get 56% with any variation 2 bars.b32 also leads into b14 which leads into 30% meterless
Also i was dabbling with 2 meter combos for situations where i would need to end the match. cant seem to break 46-47 percent. is that good? or can raiden get more off of 2 bars. this is on thundergod and without a jump in of course.
He can do 48% one meter off of 214 starter midscreen.b32 also leads into b14 which leads into 30% meterless

Yes but i was going for something useful in match. with the safer starters is what im saying
I jump right after the the MB shocker.
After ex shocker try holding up so you jump right away and pressing punch on the way up. If you wait too long to press punch it'll miss.
Anyone else having trouble with the link between the last b2 to f12b[2]?
this is what I try to do... but still I miss it a lot. Can you do it at least 3/4 times? This punch looks stylish + it is extra hit in your combo
Depends on offline or online. Offline I almost always land it but online is about 50%. Unless the match has a really good connection I usually don't even bother attempting online, I hate missing it and wasting a bar.
