I love playing Raiden from time to time, but hit Back 2 overhead has AWFUL recovery time. I hate it so much!
You mean on block? If it hits it is the best combo starter Raiden has. It is negative infinity on block so you either go all in or special cancel it to like df2 to keep yourself safe.
Don't diss the jazz hands bro. Sure it's -2 billion on block and whiff as Shawnzzy said, but getting 40% no meter in the corner and nigh-50% for a bar is a pretty good tradeoff.
Thanks man Displacer is the truth and congrats to @Nivek getting top 8 with the Thunder God! Win that thing!
Why is your caps lock permanently on I don't get it
MY CAPS IS BROKEN ON MY MAC.
Somehow I don't believe that.
WHY NOT?
Seems like it's one of those gimmicks people have on forums to make them stand out, such as colored font.
What would be a corner combo starting with B2?
B2, B2, B14, LRC, 214xxDB1 is 37% into a reset.
Thanks man, I've been away from MKX but will now have time, I appreciate your response.
Thanks man. Displacer takes a lot of execution and making a lot of hard reads to be effective. It's a struggle, but it can definitely pay off.
Doing B14 as high as possible also means that B14 has to fully connect, otherwise you won't get a combo of course. The idea behind it is that if you hit B14 as high as possible (where the 4 does still connect) you have more hit advantage, thus making the combo easier to perform.
Thanks bro, I understand now. One more thing, lately the lighting cancel doesn't come out consistently after the b14 connects, like the b14 will connect but instead of doing the Lightning motion so I can cancel it'll just stop there leaving Raiden in neutral, now I suck at MKX but I remember I used to be able to pull the lighting motion 100 out of 100 times, and all of a sudden I get it 50% of the time I don't know why? I mean I start the fireball motion immediately after I press the 1 so the motion is being done at the same time as I'm hitting the 4, that's how it's done right? What happened to me Lol?
You could try F1,2 staggers although beware of low profile. You also have F4 as a low crush, which is probably the best low crush in the game. I sometimes wakeup with F4 if someone is just spamming pokes.
Thanks/what should you be going for before hitting your opponent with a combo?
Well Raiden's D3 is pretty good. It feels similar to Kenshi's D3 but with more range. But yeah Midscreen to Fullscreen tends to be where Raiden suffers. I've heard of some Displacers who cancel blockstrings into teleport away and then just follow up with F4 to try to catch the opponent by surprise. F4 has plus block adv I believe, So I guess just do something like a F2,1,B2 if they block it or F3, 2+4? Try that in the lab as one big blockstring to see if it can be effective.
d3 is only plus 6 on hit, doesn't really guarantee much.
