Hi everyone, I'm DDutchguy and I'm bad at this game. Since launch I have been playing this game, using a multitude of characters that were initially not Raiden. I jumped back and forth between Johnny Cage, Quan Chi, Liu Kang and Sub-Zero. Of course I couldn't keep these one night stands up forever and found a healthy, stable relationship with Raiden of Earthrealm.
Because of this tough start however, there is still tention between me and Raiden. As we have not had this relationship for long yet, we still struggle with landing combos, run canceling in the neutral and sometimes I feel as if Raiden is unhappy and does not allow my B1 to convert into a full combo.
Now that I mention B1, he has helped us through a lot of tough times. Downpoking Ermacs, online Scorpions and Poketal Kahn players we have shut out of our lives because 8-frame B1 helped us. Even still though, the neutral ground to our relationship does not have a strong foundation yet and B2 is still unsafe on block. In general, we do not have the skills to beat 90% of online warriors in ranked and me and Raiden often get insulted by those who beat us, with unavailable game sessions and B3~Low Minion.
Sharing this has already helped me, thank you.
