It's two of them right? The one when he kicked the head off and the electrocution one
The 4th wall one is from KL. Idk about the other one
Float is good but only if you use the AMP and the stomp. It’s an up close tool mostly to stay safe and deal massive amounts of chip, and you can use it on OKI to punish certain WU options
I’ll add that while stomp does 9% it’s unlikely that you’ll be landing it raw. B12~DU AMP, 3 does 167 damage for a bar (less than cancelling into electric fly), but on block it does at least 5% chip (much much more than what Raijin would be able to do). I think the chip damage is an important aspect not really talked about since to my knowledge you can’t really react to float and jab punish if you AMP fast enough, so they have to hold the chip. To compare, AMP rolling thunder does 5% damage only if ALL the ticks on the cloud hit the opponent, so for a bar you do more chip guaranteed than the cloud will do in a practical situation.
Do you think the opponent can jab out of it regularly on reaction? It can definitely get jabbed out of at the end of strings if the opponent is looking for it, but I wonder how it would work if you started mixing it in the middle of strings, or staggered in some other moves as well. Full disclose I'm at a pretty casual level, so most of the players I get matched up against probably wouldn't be able to consistently punish it. I'm curious how higher level players would handle it.
They can only interrupt lightning storm on read, not reaction though. You can mix up the options a lot too by just doing raw stomps if they start to respect the AMP. You can do close stomp if they want to dash forwards under you or regular stomp if they want to back dash
19 sounds right to me.
Probably more valuable to trust your feelings and experience using the move.
Only on a read when you start mixing it in the middle of strings, things like b1/s3/F3/1,2 are really hard to read/react if you aren't predictable.
19. Frame data has many errors, always trust the calculator.
Yeah lightning storm makes Raiden become a bit hungry for offensive bar, but (at least for my personal load out) you can still use fly cancels and B14 for other means of safety, and all the while fishing for the one hit confirm that takes opponents to the corner where they will die.
Sweet. I was just thinking about what a loadout with Spark Port and without Storm Cell would look like. I couldn't decide between Rolling Thunder, Lightning Rod, or Quick Charge.
You’d have to be SUPER confident at winning in the neutral many many times though. But I suppose a purely hit and run playstyle would work with quick charge. Just zip around and punish stuff with discharge lol
I like to think of it as resistance training. It'd really force you to learn your fundamentals, that's for sure.
I mean if you think about it teleport//quick charge is just a variation with Raiden's 2 best moves. It's going to be super taxing to play because your max damage is going to be like 20% for a bar (all unbreakable though). It will probably work for players who have really good fundamentals like you said though.
