I think mos definitely should and will get buffed. You non-tg raiden mains need to start downplaying more. We had a few space controllers buffed but we're still outnumbered by the rushdown fool characters.
The problem isn't people that play Raiden lol it's the people that don't understand the character doing the complaining. And this is coming from someone who thinks Raiden will remain the best character after the changes. You can't really just look at every tool and be like,"it shouldn't be this way" but should see how it works along with the rest of their tools. The issue with f1 wasn't the speed or safety, but its effectiveness as a frametrap pretty much made people helpless even though he was at disadvantage. Believe it or not, it was the only mid he could use to poke safely. His only other mids being 8 frame b1(whiffs anything outside of point blank range), 7 frame d1 & d3(both punishable on block), and f2(15 frame startup). So not only can he be easily poked from most his pressure but he can no longer effectively frame trap. All of this is okay but it really hurt the other variations that didn't need it. There are other ways to nerf f1 and solve the same issues without affecting the other variations. This isn't me being upset about changes either, just trying to expand on your post.
When the game was released a lot of raidens were saying Displacer and mos weren't ass. Mayber NRS saw and thought he was fine
Better late than never bro, you got a few more patch cycles. At least you don't have "I don't downplay" 16bit winning locals with your character.
The character is still completely fine lol.
If making F1 hit high instead of mid turns Raiden from the best to not tourney viable then this game sucks.

It's not that Raiden sucks now. It's that this couldve been a Thunder God only thing instead of hindering the other 2 variations that honestly dont have much going for them already. At least that is my big issue with this change. A close 6f mid doesnt mean much if it doesnt lead to anything damaging which is exactly what happens with MoS and Displacer.
yea that's what i said. im just taking some time off of exploring more raiden tech to explore other chars. lots of new stuff in the patch.
this is correct pre-tanya patch. w/ tanya it should be a high.
His neutral game is exactly why I disliked the idea of any changes to f1.
People just use Raiden as an example for wanting OSs removed in general since he is the most obvious example from recent tourney success.
@delbuster once again, good shit!
