You're absolutely right. A lot of shit was stirred when his resets were discovered.... and then the stirred pot of shit was ignored.

B Wizz made Raiden look DAMN good in the KOTH casuals
I think that baraka is way better than Stryker. I've played a good both and I had a lot more trouble with baraka.Pig Of The Hut
stryker better than baraka???please explain your thinking on that.
stryker has piss poor mixups, his strings are like swiss cheese with all the holes, shit mids outside standing 4,gimmick pressure, one of the resets in game with least adv,dodgy sluggish armor, semi decent zoning, semi decent anti zoning and decent d2 & standing 4
baraka has great mix up potential(although slow), great meter building, good mids, one of them combo starter for 25%,midscreen resets that guarentee near a half bar of meter gain afterward unless the opp wants to jump and take the damage,corner resets where you must guess armor or not,the easiest armor move in the game easest to hit someone with, blade charge which is unpunishable by most of the cast on block, great d4, decent AA and crossup tools, good corner carry, epic backdash, stupid hitbox on his jip/crossover punch, wicked good corner game, +5, +8, +10 and +11 frametraps
like seriously am i missing something cause imo stryker should be BARELY over "kano tier"
I know right? It shows just how devastating Raiden is when teleport is used correctly. Not to add to the fact that Raiden excels at holding a life lead and loses very few MU's. In fact, he loses as few MU's as S tier characters but he just doesn't win as many (has more 5-5's).
You're aware Baraka's are pretty interruptible too right? He still has non-interruptible strings and stagger options that leave him at slight disadavantage. I can list about 20 characters with interruptible strings.Pig Of The Hut

i have him at #2
Yeah. Definately no downplaying him at all.
Not really.
i wouldnt say huge outrage now lol but none the less i still feel im totally correct on what i said and given reasons why i think so.
He definitely is. Not one person rapes him, while Jax and Cage both get fucked in the face like 2-8 by Kenshi and 3-7 by Kabal
I think Sonya and Cyrax rape him. DP, no dinner. Reptile doesn't get any Red Lobster, he only gets death.
You're missing the point..he mentioned Stryker having interruptible strings, I'm just mentioning the fact that Baraka has them too, nothing more, nothing less. I don't even care if Baraka is or isn't better than Stryker.
And I'm saying he really doesn't, especially not to the extent of Stryker.
Cyrax? You're silly. You are the biggest emo, sorry frothy
How can you even downplay him? ( serious) i guess his tele is a little long. No standard type projectile except ex saw. But bombs are unblockable. Im at a loss for anything else not match up specific. His attacks are all fast, good range, lots of tools. Don't get how any one could say not top 5. Also that running joke "he needs them" regarding his resets is untrue. 50 percent off a net 1 bar combos that are super easy.
The only real strings of relevance are back 1,2,2 + 1,2, +1,1 and back 3, 2 which while back 3,2 is armorable the fact that you can stagger it and be at -3 makes that a fairly non-relevant issue, but I digress as it doesn't truly matter at this point.
kinda depens on YOUR character i have had more trouble with stryker than baraka for sure.
How? Cyrax dominates the area that Reptile excels in. Not to mention that if he punishes a dash, than GG no re.
Considering their are only 5 tourney players of each character it also depends on who you face.
Well my character is quan who does better against stryker, but barely
espio please do not become denfensive. im pretty sure you know what i am and am not aware of to do with baraka. not need to be smart about it.
