Raiden General Discussion

[Pterodactyl]

Anyone know the correct timing for EX teleport?

 

[RoboCop]

So Raiden clearly has damage and corner carry, but does he have sauce? Feels like about half his specials (besides grasp, superman, and his projectile) are kind of without purpose. I was hoping for some saucy setups, traps, etc., but so far not much luck.

Don't focus on the unnecessary; just ignore them. Focus on what you can abuse.

The problem is that I wanna play Raiden and that’s the kind of character I enjoy playing—one with sauce.

the storm-cell like move does good chip and i imagine the loaded projectile synergizes well with some kameos.

is that move plus?

Just saw a dude fighting Rewind with Raiden, regularly doing 50%+ with the Jax kameo.

Twitch?

 

[xRantex]

Raiden/Sub. I was thinking Subs projectile immune move + Raiden superman = corner carry. Have to test it out though

 

[Digestia]

Raiden can get 50% off an anti-air with Jax. His damage is mental.

 

[Digestia]

It's like Jax Kameo was made for the Shocker

The 50% 1-bar Raiden combo with 2x Jax Kameo from Rewind's Stream (by K7))

Give it time, idk what specials you’re talking about but I’ve already found uses for everything more or less

wait til you try him with Darrius.

I found a cute 50% with Raiden/Darrius in the first hour of labbing

 

[Pterodactyl]

Does anyone know what his passive is?

I’ve noticed that if you block a bunch of attacks consecutively he begins pulsing with energy and his eyes start to glow? What does this do?

 

[ruthlezz97]

Gotta start working for that PS5, I wanna play RaiDAMN he is good so bad.

 

[Ptehu]

I enjoyed his chapter in the story and even without knowing hardly anything about his combo strings I have managed to perform SO FLASHY and SO LENGHTY combos while only mashing or trying to do something randomly. I cannot imagine how can that look like when I get him into the lab and properly master.

Best version of Raiden so far? Probably yes.

Raiden mains eat well in this game.

Oh fuck please tell me quick charge is back

So far all I can tell is it cuts his chip damage in half while blocking like when quick charge was active in 11.

 

[Marlow]

How sweet would it be if the game had hidden special moves, and he still has a version of quick charge hidden somewhere?

 

[Marlow]

Having the game pre-downloaded and staring at me in my home screen is like seeing my Christmas present sitting up on the closet shelf but not being able to open it until Christmas.

Yeah that would be neat, but currently not loving that the game won't tell me about it at all.
In fact there's no character guides at all outside of shitty combo trials.

Hii,

do you guys know how can I see if a setup is safe?

I'm trying to make TP safe with the next setup with Kameo Cyrax:

f22, hold RB (horizontal), tp

But dunno, framedata doesn't show block adv, bad thing it's a high

EDIT:

Dunno if this is correct, made the dummy to attack instantly after blocking

You can test by having Sub do armoured slide on reversal. As long as there’s a 1f gap in your setup the AI will try to armour through it. If they cannot then it means that it’s gapless.

To test if something is safe you can try to set the bot to again do a fast special move because reversal specials come out 1f faster (assuming MK1 blocking still works the same way as previous games). But idk what the fastest move in the game is. You can probably still use EX slide though, if you can block it in time after the TP then you‘re safe

That seems to make the teleport safe. I have to ask if there is a point in using teleport on block, besides side switching...? Id probably use teleport after a knockdown if that was the only purpose

I think it works with any special, or even if you want to do 2421 safe
