Nope, raiden got nothing. He's still low tier.
Honestly since those options are punishable. I just 5050 people d3, d1, b2, throw them, F32 I like to mix it it, maybe back up bait them and punish with b12 into school or make them whiff and punish with 121. He doesn't have the best options for locking someone in the corner unless they have no meter then it's easier to condition them with b2 after pokes, make them think you're going low then nail them with b2.
Stagger F3, mix with b3 and B2. Lock them down at a distance with F4. Raiden's corner game is underrated and very strong. Mix up your teleport and fly cancels as well. The options to punish those are different so you can try to trick them into using the wrong punish and you can capitalise.
What is Raidens corner game,I didnt play in like multiple months.
Since Raiden is pretty good at playing footsies and neutral, his most effective range is around half screen. However since his moves are pretty slow, at mid screen he can get whiff punished pretty easily, especially F4. But in the corner since the opponent can’t move backwards, you essentially control neutral. We can stay at around F4 range and just bully them. Anti-air if they jump. Whiff punish their wake-ups and such. Of course his jailing is also most potent in the corner. Check out the posts from @Trustful Whale to learn more about jailing. This gets Raiden massive plus frames and makes him rather oppressive in the corner. Bully with F3 often, mix with B3 and B2 to catch people off guard. Remember In TW we can combo into B2 to set up the KB, and the reward from both overhead and low is pretty good.
Thanks a lot, where can I find the jailing guide from @Trustful Whale that u mentioned above?
I want to know how can u anti air with B1? It seems kinda low to catch ppl in the air
Did your QC run out? That's probably why you can't launch after DB4AMP. However, I haven't tested your specific combo because DB4 launches horribly if you use up the gravity beforehand. If you want more consistent results, maybe try using S1, B12~DB4AMP? I haven't tested it myself because I suck at anti-airing but this should give more time to see if the glow on Raiden's arms has run out before hit-confirming into either DB4 or BF3. Raijin suffers from not having as good conversion damage as TW because of the nature of their launchers.
You can actually AA with F1, the timing is rather precise but I've done it from time to time. His hit box is decent against a jumper with his F112 string. Just F1 don't do the entire string. One Raiden player way back was AA me with just 1 but the timing takes practice, if mistimed he eats a jk to the face.
Yep the least nrs can do for us raiden players. Thank God for that
Now.............how bout a new Brutal
Or a buff lol
You can only hope from patch to patch they might glance over him,but I still find him turbo fun.
