    Lord Raiden General Discussion Thread

    Lmao. This gonna be good. Or at least I hope so.

    I would, theoretically, also take rods instead of bolt there, but with one huge caveat - all those moves must quit sucking ass.

    Funny thing is that it's probably a downgrade because by that time the cloud will not stand anywhere relevant unless you switch sides successfully every damn time. And you can't call a new one because the old one is still there.

    There is a point in the words "play the matchup" though. As a player, you only have 2 choices, either that or not playing at all.

    (Discussion) The Unprecedented Stated of MK11

    The only sort of expectations they set is kneejerk changes and matchups going from 7-3 to 3-7 to 8-2 within a few months. I get it, people are used to imitation of life that is bashing heads against each other over another set of changes that don't increase variety of characters you will see in...

    Learning Raiden , what are the key things I need to know?

    But I'm not. Like I've said in my previous post, I'm going by what I've played in this season's league on PC. And from my experience it takes something ridiculous like a full second freeze (I've had one game with such idiotic lag, but only once) in order to miss that punish. Like I've said, I...

    Learning Raiden , what are the key things I need to know?

    You have about a second to punish Storm Cell if you block correctly. It's not like I play a ton of online, but the main reason I wasn't being punished for that is because people don't know how to block it. I can't imagine online quality being so bad that you can miss that punish (been playing on...

    Learning Raiden , what are the key things I need to know?

    It doesn't have to actually trigger to affect match. Threat of eating 500 dmg overhead is something that can open people up to low launcher or entice them to wakeup which can also grant full combo if read. You can do something like 270 damage combos ending with b2 just to setup that. Perhaps...

    Raiden Match-Ups Thread

    That requires that they do it outta nowhere on your wakeup though. And perhaps there's still a timing for that, but I'm not sure.

    Learning Raiden , what are the key things I need to know?

    Not getting hit twice with that requires you to be open to low starter though. Outside of wakeups, ofc. I keep seeing this in your and I'm like wtf. DB2 is not safe. What am I missing? Am I thinking of wrong moves?

    Raiden required adjustments thread.

    That's pretty much the point of the move though, especially considering that opponent barely loses anything even if he can't jump at full screen. Not to mention that opportunity cost of this move on variation building level is really steep.

    Raiden required adjustments thread.

    What is 1 meter version of this? Do you b121+3 after f4, or just end with cancelling f4 into fly?

    Storm Cell and female bodies

    Actually, b12~cell, jf2, f2, 12~fly still works. But it's tight as hell, and does less damage because of that whiffed hit.

    MK11 Pre-Release Hot Takes

    Frankly, the latter won't be a surprise to me. Her design has changed significantly, both aesthetically and in terms of gameplay. Some MK9 fans of her may decide to look elsewhere. Reptiloid will retain his title of undisputed stale meme posting champion (TYM). "There's no 2 year schedule" -...

    unpopular opinion? as MK gets more violent, people will take the franchise less seriously.

    I don't think it gets more and more violent. It's just that this being early period of MK11, we focus a lot on cosmetics (including fatalities) as we don't have much else to follow. Compared to our latest memories about previous games (that included a lot of tournament and online play, as...

    Fortress of Solitude lists Daegon, J. Cage, Reptile, Shang Tsung, Pennywise as most wanted for MK11

    Tbh one thing I liked more about MK9 animations is that there were fewer vague hand waving accompanied by particle effects. 9 vs X Ermac, as my "favorite" example. Wouldn't say I'm against "sorcery normals", but I'd prefer associated motions to be sharper for that mystical martial arts kind of...

    Fortress of Solitude lists Daegon, J. Cage, Reptile, Shang Tsung, Pennywise as most wanted for MK11

    I don't quite care if he's in or out (at least he's not another clown lifted from yet another rotting B-movie series), but if I have to answer that, it's because it's a description of literally any D&D Sorcerer class character, and he does look like such characters are often drawn. At the same...

    Why time controlling Kronika will never make sense and is a bad idea

    Well, in order for that to work you need to be able to suspend you disbelief. Depending on viewer, leaving holes in reasoning may get in the way of that.

    Which console/s are you going to get MK 11 for?

    Pretty weird way to organize poll responses considering you can pick several choices already.

    Why time controlling Kronika will never make sense and is a bad idea

    I, for one, sorta dislike time-travelling-alternate-universe gimmicks in fiction, but mostly because they are often used when authors run out of more elegant ideas. We've been discussing this at length about 1.5 years ago here. So, there's that. YMMV, ofc.
