So I've been talking with this user on the MK Discord named RezenL who has found some nice stuff with Truth & Light.
Raiden can setup a double b2 in the corner as a combo.
Dalphanate also found the same setup (0:22)
Lightning Rod doing cool stuff doesn't surprise me, but my main issue is with Jo Push. I still don't think it belongs in this variation. I also still believe Lightning Rod should have a longer or even infinite duration (but the amped orb not, obviously) just to make using lightning projectiles on it at range reliable.
That said I haven't watched RezenL's matches, but he's got almost 2 hours of him grinding with this variation.
This is how you support Raiden.
