Hey, was wondering what is everyone using as their corner bnb's for the variation "Displacer". The original post only seems to have combos for thunder god in the corner.

Hello,

After learning Sub Zero Grandmaster and Alien Tarkatan, it's about time I learned Raiden. Thunder God and Displacer fit me well.

I learned by myself WITHOUT YT videos these kombos.

When I write H, I mean the HOLD for the next face button. The same is applies for the T, which means the THROW.

THUNDER GOD
middle

1 meter

FJ2> B2> RUN> B14> EX DF2> B11T. 37%

2 meters

FJ2> B2> RUN> 21> EX DB3> B14> EX DF2> B11T. 38%
FJ2> 213> EX BF2> B12> EX DB3> B11T. 40%

korner

2 meters

FJ2> B2> B2> 213> EX DB3> B14> EX DF2> B11T. 46%
FJ2> B2> B2> 213> EX DF2> B14> EX DB3> B11T. 48%

Every time, I try to do the combination 213> EX DB3 this fast, it results in the X-RAY. Because of that, I had to time the EX DB3 a bit later from the 213.

All the kombos are the same in Displacer, too.

Because, I'm new to these stuff here, I'd like your suggestions about Raiden. What to be careful, what to avoid, what to do most of the time. The ball is yours. Any suggestions are acceptable.

BTW, how is anyone doing the LKC? Any inputs? Thanks. Just saw the OP and was wondering about that.

Thanks

First things first, cut any two bar combos and ex db3 out midscreen They are not optimal and ex db3 scales hard. Same way with 213, only use it as a starter. I'm not well versed on displacer anymore, so there isn't much I can give you. I've got some TG combos though.

b2 midscreen, 1 bar

B2> run> b14> ex df2>b14>lrc>214>bf3


b2 corner, 1 bar
B2>b2>b14>exdb1(press db1 after launching the ball for extra damage)>njp>b14>lrc>214>db1

214 midscreen and corner, 1 bar
214>exdf2>njp(a lot tighter to hit on females so use at your own risk)> b14>lrc>214>bf3

214 corner, 2 bars

214>exdf2>b14>exdb1,db1>njp>b14>lrc>214>db1

F12b2 midscreen,1 bar

F12b2>b14>lrc>214>exdf2>b14>bf3

F12b2 corner,1 bar

F12b2>b14>exdb1,db1>njp>b14>lrc>214>db1

213 midscreen, meterless

213>f2> instant njp>b14>lrc>214>bf3

There's maybe a few more but that's everything that come to mind. If you need clarification I'll try explain anything you don't understand.

Anyway, to do a lighting run cancel, you need to hold db1, and then cancel with a run,ff+block. It's best to practice the motion over and over again before attempting it in a combo. Now, to actually do it in a combo can be difficult, with a bit of practice it should become second nature.

In combos, you'll only be using it after b14, and to cancel it correctly, you need to follow the visual cues to get used to it. If I'm not mistaken, you should input the run as soon as see the ball begin to form. Then, input your command. Again, this takes practice, and it'll be a while before it becomes muscle memory.

I'm not the best at explaining, but if there's anything I missed or you didn't understand, someone else should cover it.

I see...

I watched this video explaining the LRC.


It seems to cancel as fast as possible the Bolt (DB1) with the RUN. This one prevents the system to lag more the other combos. When I tried it without the LRC I couldn't input the other combos. Will do this in training. Thanks. :)

Edit: I'm training this LRC and I see that it's way more tighter. Sounds like an advanced move for the combos. I just hit the first LRC. To train it, I had to do the Shocker (EX DF2), then immediately did input the following inputs B14, DBH1 in one string. Then I waited a bit to input the RUN and immediately 214. We can't do the RUN command in one string. For some reason, the system did register it in the order. This needs A LOT OF training.

I almost got used with LRC. I made this corner combo with EX:

FJP> B2> B2> 214>EX DF2> B14> LRC> 214> EX DB3> B11T

This one packs 35 combos and 51% damage.

@SonicNinja3532 , I'm trying the B14> EX DB1, but for some reason the EX DB1 is a bit laggy. Doesn't it work anymore? I did in one string the B14> EX DB1, but it doesn't work. I have tested it with AI auto-block.

Any ideas, @Lil Majin , @DDutchguy, @Nivek ?

Your listed corner combo is a relatively standard corner BnB for Raiden. The EX-db3 adds very little extra damage however and as such it's best to end the combo at the 214 with either DB1 (restand) or BF3 (Oki) as an ender.

EX-db1 combos don't always work. I'm fairly certain B32, B14~EX-db1 doesn't connect because B32 doesn't give enough of an upwards juggle. F12B2, B14~EX-db1 does work as far as I know.

Another reason EX-db1 in Thunder God may not work is because sometimes it can only combo of you dk EX-db1, db1. This places a lightning trap, which can connect earlier than the EX-db1 does.

I see. Makes sense. No wonder why I didn't make B12> EX DB1 able. I'll try this out in all variations. It might be that after KP2 they gave the opponent more gravity to the juggle, thus preventing it to happen.

Will try these out as you suggested.

Edit: Found out that the B14> EX DB1 doesn't work, because of the more gravity on the juggle. If I do it in the early frames it might work.

I was wondering something for a while guys. I did read the term "BnB" anywhere in the forums, but what do they stand for? :S

Thanks for the explanation. I'm not good with the English idioms.

BTW, @DDutchguy , forgot to add that I want to end the combos with B11T, because this gives the knockdown, which gives me more time to stand back. The others are quite risky for me.

You gotta remember this is a fighting game forum for pros. These guys all face palmed at your question. You're better off Googling 'fighting game - term' and using these guys for knowledge of matchups, tech, and how to's.

Your facepalm won't work, because from casual I leveled up to a hardcore. In the past I wasn't interested in fighting games until now when my mates started playing MK10. This is where I started getting into fighting games, therefore I'm new to these terminologies.

I know most of what these terms mean, but not those unique ones like BnB and Rekka.

And I know that it's a fighting game forum for pros, because I tend to enter here to learn a lot of stuff about the chars and to improve myself in the Mortal Kombat world.

That's all from me.

A Rekka is a three hit special move that requires 3 inputs.

I'm kind of new to being good at NRS games too, so my reaction to such a question isn't knee-jerk.

Its just been you and I since you asked for clarification of the terminology, so it wasn't my facepalm. I'm just offering friendly advice.

Your next step is to look for games with guys from here. My GT is GAV60 if you're on XB1. I'm sure others will be accommodating as well.

I would love to add you, but i have ps4. This is indeed one good suggestion. To improve yourself is to fight against better players than you.

Im new to these stuff and im trying to learn them as fast as possible. Used to play street fighter, fatal fury, samurai shodown, etc. Its been a while since i taken an interest in mk since mk4. Mk10 is the game that got me really interested and learn to be competitive.

Last year, i watched the finals with @Nivek against my mate, Tsaf K, here in Thessaloniki and this is where i got horny of playing again the mk. ;)

Take care. ;)

Same here. I was mega-excited when KI was in development, but only MKX moved me enough to recapture my old spirit from my old SF2, Samurai Shodown, VF, Tekken, and FF days.

Nivek's reactions are truly superhuman. Buff Raiden.

Forgot to add this video.


Enjoy. ;)

When Tsaf K was playing Sub Zero Grandmaster, I was a noob there. I didn't have PS4 at that time to get the MKX and learn my fav char, Sub Zero.

Gradually, I'm getting better and better to this.

If you happen to get your PS4, add me. I'd love to spare with you. :)

So I've been struggling with connecting Electric Fly after 1, 1, 2, 2 for a while now and only a few days ago I found out what I was doing wrong. I looked at my inputs in Practice mode and noticed, since I tend to mash out the 2, 2 at the end, my combo would came out as 1, 1, 2, 2, 2 very often. So basically I've been adding an extra 2 at the end. Once I became aware of that and corrected it, connecting Electric Fly at the end became very consistent.

Just a tip, in case someone else is struggling with this.

Interesting. Will try to lab it a bit. I was wondering why the electric fly didn't work after the 1122.

I just wait for the audio que on the last zap noise on 1122, there are 4 pops on the last 2(hold)


Also if you are having trouble with that you can always keep holding 2 and move the rest of your thumb or another finger to 3 while holding 2. It's an easier way to get it

That's the way I do it. I hold 2 with my index finger and press 3 with the thumb. Otherwise the timing is very tight.

@Nivek, what do you say about the 1122xxElectric Fly? I have seen you doing it with your out-of-corner combo.
