Unga bunga dude
That’s why I started the post with “I’m not sure if this has been previously pointed out”
and added “this is not game changing by any means”

If you play TW she shouldnt be able to zone yoI because one correct read and she eats 29%. If I remember correctly she has lots of FB gaps so if you’re good at that you can exploit it. I haven’t had that much trouble with Skarlet. Is there a specific move or play style that’s getting you frustrated? We can discuss this further in the MU thread so information can be organised more neatly.Can someone give me tips on how to beat Skarlet as Raiden? I am powerless when playing vs her,its like my worst matchup next to Geras and Liu Kang.
I would make B14 safe but making it plus might be a bit much. Making it plus would make Raijin very strong with a plus overhead and a low that goes into full combo or a completely safe option and staggers all off B1. Not everything needs to solved with plus frames.They could make Raiden a lot better just with B14 and F32 strings. What are these right now anyway. Totally useless. B14 is not even a mix up. It's just a high risk, very low reward overhead. If they make it flawless blockable but + on block you get a mix up with B12 and + frames to get your mid/throw mix up game going and when conditioned, even low/oh.
And same with F32. F3 looks like a decent Scorpion-like stagger but Scorpion can get so much from it with a KB while all Raiden gets is a knock away. And 2 is a mid too. Either make it a KB that works the same as Scorpion's or make it in an overhead and a KB if only overhead hits.
So with that he gets + frames and much scarier F3 stagger with another, easier KB. He gets his mix up game after F3 and B14 which could even make his B2 a bit easier to get. Or just change that one too or at least make B2 special cancelable. Oh and why is it so hard to cancel into tp? It's so easy for any other special move but for tp it's so tight and specific timing. With cancelable B2 and better tp you could at least make yourself safe by spending a bar.
Never had problem with zoning,more with the fact that everything she does besides zoning is safe. Is the only way to beat her by literally flawless blocking? Her strings dont seem to be punishable at all.If you play TW she shouldnt be able to zone yoI because one correct read and she eats 29%.

I don’t remember the exact frame data for her strings but you can look them up in training mode. I know that 212 is definitely unsafe at -11 so it‘s a free punish with S1 every single time you block it. Otherwise, always try to poke or take your turn when she’s minus. You can also dance around at half screen and try to whiff punish her with F11 or F4.

I play patient for her, and punish her teleport the one that's like his but when it's right behind you. If you're fast enough from full screen you can actually stuff out her start up animations on her projectiles and claw if you hit her with the lightning strike, I always buffer it fast one after the other and tends to stop her so they rethink doing it and wind up teleporting to get in and then I punish them. Her 212 is not safe and has gaps, most Skarlet players will use her kick low staggers. I like to stop her teleports with D1 or 121. I've had success utilizing these tactics.Can someone give me tips on how to beat Skarlet as Raiden? I am powerless when playing vs her,its like my worst matchup next to Geras and Liu Kang.
I would, theoretically, also take rods instead of bolt there, but with one huge caveat - all those moves must quit sucking ass.lol. Super Bolt + floaty stance + silly cloud is my preferred Raiden build.
It's not good, but it is really fun.
Almost 100% sure its coming up.Any chance NRS does a balance patch to go along with Sindel being released?
expect Raiden to lose Thunder Fly on RaijinAlmost 100% sure its coming up.
One can only hope if you're a Raiden fan for the better.Any chance NRS does a balance patch to go along with Sindel being released?
Hi, do I know you? Or are you naturally friendly? Lol but I would if I had ps4. I only have xbox and switch mk 11. Appreciate the kind offer though.What's up MKF30. You play on PS4 or Xbox? Add me on PSN for some Raiden matches, if you ever wanna lab a few rounds.
I'm 99% sure he's just goofing. Sonic calling a low tier character S tier has been a thing for awhile, he's just having some fun.I like and respect Sonic but he kill Raiden after that
