Oh oF course, I'm just concerned about balance since that's what everyone is on with this game and of course NRS supporting this game a while. I think whatever works at this point to make the lower guys compete with the higher I'd be fine with whatever choice that is. Obviously everyone should have weaknesses and strengths but I feel some characters have more than the other right now which is the issue. But we have a lot of time left so NRS can still fix it.
Yeah she's annoying for Raiden, I have done well vs her with TW but only due to smart teleporting he's not going to outzone her but he can condition her from a far and bait her to do the rings and turrets that's when you teleport and punish her. I did this few weeks back then the damn update happened, was a great match and the Sonya player was so pissed he was yelling at me on the mic like "dude all you fucking do is turtle and run away from me!! stop doing that!!" lmao...like yeah, I'm dumb enough to get into a close up match with you when I can just bait you and counter you haha. I may still have it capped but not sure, I'll have to check. If I do I'll post it! I can imagine Raijin being near to impossible to get in on her.
Alternatively u can also just b12 if u read the mash on wakeup
I'd call it a sequence more than a setup. It's a nice potential comeback scenario, but it kind of relies on a perfect storm of things going your way:
For some reason I thought this was already mentioned in the Updated Combo thread, but I'm not sure. Nice potential option to explore. I'll add it to the Updated Combo Thread.
I'd suggest learning both TW and Raijin, they can compliment each other's harder matchups nicely. Also check out the Updated Combo thread, it should be fairly up to date with the combos and some quick notes on the character.
If I remeber correctly both KB animations restart the start up time for meter to refill and they dont fill a whole bar from zero that entire sequence. I hit that alot actually.
Not sure. To be honest if you're close enough to the corner it's always better to go for fly. If you're trying to switch sides with your back to the corner then doing starter~DB2 AMP, DU, JI3~fly is better damage iirc and you are still +23. If you're mid screen and really want to end next to them it's fine, but at the same time regular teleport after grounded fly still leaves you at ~+3 (33hit advantage - 1f startup -29f recovery) and right next to them and your pokes will beat opponent's U2 or mash. TW can full combo punish projectiles on read anyways so idk if ending combos close to Raiden is such an imperative for TW
But they just have to guess right once and you die. D2 KB is already pretty risky especially when people can just walk up and full combo you with a mid. Not to mention you're getting not one but 2 B2s raw.
Nothing's changed really, just anything with jump kick does less damage, so ending stuff with JI2, F4~BF3 might be more appealing if you want more hit advantage even though you get less damage since the damage difference is smaller.
If I'm in fatal blow territory and there on a flawless I literally have nothing to lose BUT risk it all I would say.
I teleport on hard knock downs like 121 121kb f32 closer to+40 as TP on +33 mean you have to be a robot to teleport on 1st possible frame
True. It's all reads and guesses and risk/reward. I'm just saying that it's the same for them. One right guess is all it takes to end you just as it takes to end them in this context
lol
do DB2, just as unsafe and you get much greater reward anyways. Poke into storm cell jails while poke into fly might not. The real MLG is doing regular teleport and FB armour through their late punish.Also on plus 40 I teleport into D4 blocked into superman cus I'm a jerk
I thought the only way to hit b2 KB was with 2 raw b2?
I don't think I'll ever play Raijin tbh. I'd rather pick someone else for those matchups than play Raiden with no tp or electric fly. I need my klassic moves.
