What about the raiden's who use the other variations? Like me and master of storms My traps are still a pain in the ass to setup

 

[Shark Tank]

He needs it. It's a buff for his public image

 

[Low Blow]

IMO this was a needed change, it just means that Raidens need to use other strings. It doesn't mean that f1 isn't useful anymore, it just isn't as brain dead anymore

 

[ShaolinGunFu]

People complained about thunder gods f12, so instead of nerfing the recovery of 2, they nerf the property of f1 which takes away MOS and Displacer's f1 poke/f14 which was nothing compared to f12 but we needed it so bad in those variations. Why couldnt they nerf TG alone without fucking up the other 2

This.

 

[SaltShaker]

Not nearly enough nerfing was done to Raiden. But don't worry, it's coming.

 

[Byites]

He needs more nerfs. Not this nerf

 

[THTB]

I think the change is dumb.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

It's still 6f start-up
F12 is still -3 on block
It will still hit crouch block

I don't see how this changes much.

 

[delbuster]

he can't whiff punish or counterhit crouch moves with run up f1 anymore.

there are way easier ways to deal with f12 f12 on block.

still a good move, just more risky and loses a few strong uses.

as for non TG variations...

sorry.

 

[Dirtylova]

lol

 

[Crimson Panther]

Makes no sense for a 6f safe move to hit mid. This doesn't make him useless. Maybe it'll just force you Raiden mains to actually learn your character....

AHHHHHhhhhh hhh hhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahaa

wow kenshi... it seems someone cried enough

 

[NurzBenny]

Displacer lolol peace out

 

[KHAOTIC_UNCLE-_-CREEPY]

TG is the variation I play the least and this f1 nerf is really going to hurt displacer and MOS more than the actual variation(TG) this community cries about. Dam sheep...

I always forget that TG raiden ddint have to use the unsafe low string. Damn i liked checking with f1xxTrap in MoS Raiden but i guess that's just asking for a uppercut now. Anyone think we can tell NRS to make a TG raiden only change so other Raidens can have our nice mid again?

Edit: Just thought about this. TG Raiden still keeps all his chip normals, canels, and overall more usefulness while lacking variations get screwed with what little they had. Guess who will still be a problem a month from now.

 

[Crimson Panther]

^ smh

 

[Jb879212]

I'll say exactly what I posted in the other thread. Got to say I really don't like the Raiden nerf. If the issue was frame traps just make the string more negative (even though you could already punish the string with back throw). But now displacer and master of storms have to suffer because people just refuse to dig deeper beyond the surface of this game. Not to mention I also believe this could affect certain TG combos affecting his overall damage output again but thats to be determined.

Because NRS.

Meanwhile nothing to fix OS, which means that more nerfs to MoS/DP are coming because of still intact TG antics (yes, it's mosly TG because the rest don't have b32 component to their mixup).

Seriously, this looked like a good patch until this line gave away that NRS don't give a shit.
