Few days old match footage against one of the best Raiden that I have yet to meet online on Steam (PC)
It would be nice if fellow Unbreakable variation brothers would take a look and do some criticism for what Im doing right and what Im doing wrong here.

P.S. Am I the only one who completely rushes with Unbreakable? I mean from the "concept" this variation should be one of the best (if not the best) variation when it comes to defense. But I'll be damned if I won't tell you that 95% of my wins are from rushdown playstyle where I rush them into corner and then I beat them with 50/50s, also by freezing them with the pary on the expected wakeup attacks - just to continue corner pressure.
Ok so a few comments: You have to work on better combos. When you land a parry you usually go for for NJ2 242 then nothing or maybe you'll connect a slide. It will be much better if you do 242 run 123 xx slide. More damage and a lot more corner carry, which is extremely important.
When rushing down forget dashes, runs are the way to go. You dash in then do a b2 or whatever to open them up, but that's very risky against a good player. Try to run to cancel immediately and be less vulnerable.
When he's attacking you he's doing a lot of d1 d1 d1 on block. Most D1s are negative on block in this game, so when he does that either poke back, or against players like this they usually don't block after they poke you so just go for b12 xx iceball into a full combo. This isn't MK9 where you can get away with d3 d3 string on block, so don't let them do that to you.
As for the unbreakable specifics, personally I use the Aura a lot more, I almost have it activated the entire round. You usually do it only when you're full screen. Don't be afraid to do it in their faces by doing f4 xx aura on block, or after a corner combo like in that thread I posted the other day.
I like how you use your parry by the way, and landing Xrays is always just so good.
