Thanks! I was wondering how to link them all into the combo (bubble, lightning, RH) and without using meter!
I think I (as well as Book) would tell you that 4~Lightning >> Roundhouse >> 4-3~Bubble >> 4~H20 Blast is your best punisher. Maybe even 4~Bubble >> Uppercut combo but that's tricky.
B2 RH cancel is plus 2 on block. Which means your 10 frame 43 becomes like an 8 frame attack. This means that anything 7 frames (most d3's) or 6 frames (sektors jab, most d1s, reptile dash, and KL spin) will still beat it. People can also jump, armor, tele(raiden) and ice clone. So there are many ways out.
So I take it you suggest not to do it? lol
The RH cancel is very good especially off of b2 because of the mixup and the ability to let the RH fly or cancel it. It has a lot of options so it is very good. If they poke out then you just counter poke and then you are fine again. Its just regular pressure mindgames and rain is one of the best at them.
RH(C) and 
RHC4,3; block confirm RH(C) or hit confirm Bubble. His d4 and d1 are both standard, his d3 is -2 on hit but lowers his hitbox a ton.RHC as it beats every regular wakeup in the game and most ones too.
.
the right edge of the bubble pretty much lines up with the middle of his head, as high as you can put it of course. then just tap d+2 (don't hold down or 2 at all).
In my personal experience, I hardly ever use 3, especially during my pressure game, because a lot of times I end up gettin a geyser kick that comes out unintentionally after the 3,3 string. Or even just trying to input 3RH.
Aqua splash is -2 and has some minor push back. It isnt positive in any way. Is there a reason you think it might be? The pushback after might be spacing out your next move and rains 4 and b2 have great range allowing the water gun to seem like hes beating you cause of advantage.
The problem with using 3 in RHpressure is that while b2rhc, 4rhc, 43rhc, d4rhc and 2rhc are all + 2 to +3 on block, 3rhc is actually -8 on block which would essentially end your pressure. I use 3RH to counterpoke, and punish things like raiden's teleport, reptile's enchanced dash, ect. It's a great combo starter that leads to 41% midscreen and 53% in the corner but it's only 1fr faster than 4rh and lacks range so it can only be used close up. As far as those uppercut combos just keep practicing pimp and you'll get em. One tip is to just make sure the bubble is just behind your head and wait till the bubble pops to input the uppercut. Unless you're online of course then you uppercut the before you think it will pop.
I got mk for the vita since i dont have a tv now. When i do 43 and cancel into aqua splash in training mode, it looks like i recover faster (My character jumps before the other character). Thats why i'm asking..
Lightning beats smoke's parry and his enchanced parry. D1, D3, D4 and sweep will also beat enchanced parry. If you see smoke throw out a parry from anywhere on the screen you can punish with a lightning combo between 24% and 32% damage. If he tries an enchanced parry up close you could D4 into RHpressure as well. Rain is actually one of the few characters that can punish smoke's enchanced parry with a combo at all. Once you get used to punishing it you'll be dying for him to throw it out.
If you're attempting the combo B2,1+2,43xxbubble,43lightning, RH, 4xxgeyser for 34% damage and you mean the lightning is not connecting it's probably due to you doing the 43xxlightning to early. At that point in the combo the gravity hasn't begun to pull the opponent down very fast so you have to wait till they're about chest high before inputing the 43xxlightning. Honestly though there are many B2,1+2 combos that give you more damage so IMO that one isn't worth practicing. Here are some better options:
