    Raiden Match-Ups Thread

    Please actually explain what you're doing. What do you do from Frost B22 range? D4 range? What do you after you block B2 or D4? You say Raiden's game is countering, countering what and how? You can't zone a frost. That makes 0 sense. I wouldn't be surprised about how you play. Raiden can't stay...

    This is true but the zoning isn't oppressive and not the main issue here. I posted a reply in the raiden MU thread that hopefully makes it clear why I think Frost wins.

    Raiden Match-Ups Thread

    @MKF30 Decided to move the convo here since someone asked us to. for everyone else this post is about Raiden vs Frost. I'm not going to address the "reads or guesses" thing because it's not important to the discussion and doesn't change anything no matter how you define it. The main point of...

    Think of this: if you're facing another Raiden do you sit there and think "oh yeah I'll just teleport when he shoots a lightning bolt"?

    This is one of those things that sounds great on paper only. You can't "not let her out footsie" you. You have no answer to some of her buttons. You can say "make reads" all day but what it really comes down to is your guessing and she never has to. You're not reacting to a 16f projectile...

    You're not understanding me. Frost tools beat Raiden's from match start. You have to overcome her buttons. She doesn't have to worry about a thing. You mentioned teleporting against her but she never has to do anything that you can teleport against. From full screen the most you can do is a...

    1) that's a read which means frost is becoming predictable or you're getting lucky. 2) why would she fireball or FB? If she never does a single fireball now what? Is the plan going to be Raiden's slow ass projectiles? And she has a projectile shield. 3) This doesn't answer any of the...

    Where are the rest of the tourney variations

    Have you seen seen some of the moves? They're not balanced at all. Some are really good, some are just trash. Some of the variations we have now aren't good simply cause the moves aren't worth having on their own or the other variation just does a better job. There's work that needs to be done...

    Because you can zone without gaining gaining a lot of space because you're opponent blocked twice. Making your opponent block twice and pause their movement is the whole reason you started zoning.

    Fatal Blows Are Not Needed In This Game (Proposed Changes)

    Wish none were full screen nor half screen (Jax, LK, etc) , all where a simple physical attack, no pushback, didn't regen, actually cost something. Right now we got like 40 percent miminum attacks that take up way too much space and are made unnecessarily harder to punish all at the press of 2...

    She has a normal that's basically the same as dash punch. Fast mid screen high that's safe on block but with more pushback and range with no hurtbox. You're only scared of scorpion teleport because it'll instantly punish the slightest movement into a full combo and you can't ever just do...

    Trust me a good frost isn't letting you get a fly off. You're going to have to earn that corner and idk how you do it

    Lord Raiden General Discussion Thread

    You can't reasonably react to frost D4. D4 reach is only matched by F1, F2, and F4. The first two are high and the mid is too slow. Further out B22 reaches you, and you can't counter poke properly spaced B2 and B22. Further out F2 is the only button she can press. Sure you can duck but now...

    You can fly against glow and low wave on reaction. Air glaive you can too just be careful of flying into a glaive. Which means you easily punish her zoning into corner carry from a distance. Then all her normal pressure stuff she'd usually do is easily punished with raijin. You basically make...

    And since I'm on the subject I think frost easily beats Raiden. Probably his worst match up

    Like any other jacqui match. She's constantly pressing buttons for free. But at least I have a 4f reversal to buffer during her shenanigans. Can punish dash punch, B22, and B22 shrapnel blast. Also Raiden has actual mixups which I believe is the way to fighter her unless you can really keep her out.

    You may as well just @ me. I got jade, erron, Kabal, geras, Jax I definitely prefer raijin. maybe kitana, Kung Lao. I like it against jacqui.

    How do you feel so far?

    This Pretty much sums up how I feel. Just got to wait for NRS to start steering the ship. Right now we're all just trying things out and figuring out how the game will play like. Then they'll start patching things and we'll be able to better refine how the game plays.
