Strategy Raiden Blockstring Push Back/ Possible Set-Ups/ Character Specific Poke Punishes

[Aidan]

Listed from top to bottom based on how far they are pushed back. Any characters listed means that move will connect on hit unless stated otherwise. Only listing moves that give actual push back. Moves that are not listed can be punished by all pokes. Jax and Nightwolf's d1 move them forward and Liu Kang's d4 moves him backwards. Yes, I did test Raiden, but he couldn't punish anything. Feel free to request certain moves or ask questions.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what all of this means. Characters listed means that move will connect on hit? The first move you have listed is f24.. but if that hits, they are knocked pretty far back so I don't see how anyones d4 will connect.

I'm missing something here. haha.

All this stuff is on block. The moves ar listed in order of pushback distance, that's why f24 is first and f231+2 is much lower. Characters listed means they can hit you with that poke if you just stand there after they block the move.

Oh ok that makes more sense. I figured that's what you meant, but it said on hit so i was thrown off. Good shit.
