Yup exactly this. Everyone can toss around how good TG Raiden is still but where is the discussion about the even less tools his other variations have? I haven't played with displacer cause the forums pretty much gave me the whole experience.
Im not saying they are useless now. Just that the variations just dont lend itself to being used. Kinda how kenshi and kitana didnt really fit with they were inteded for. I think the overall consensus is that that got fixed. Im playing right now still using MoS cause I still find the traps fun just I never feel like I can or even need to use em lol.
Fair enough. I'm compiling a MoS master document. Let me know if you find anything you want to add. Been trying to track down as many MoS mains as I can. I have been playing TG since launch, but MoS has always been my favorite. Compiling a central source of setups, strategies, and combos incorporating traps would be a huge help for TG and displacer players wanting to learn the variation. Once everyone gets in the lab with it, I think the true potential will come out.
That's pretty cool but with the way traps works and its frames there is like 2 situations to cancel off of normals or just do it at the end of a combo. If he had a more reliable way to get off the first trap he would play so much better. Link me to that MoS master document please.
MoS player here so and a master doc/guide type thing sounds fantastic
If someones stamina is empty (so they cant just run and punish wiffed superman) Ill put up a dot, instant air superman esp if opponent moves forward, then put up another dot up or behind me, which gives an epic full screen line, run and njp into combo (or for swag points, EX projectile, run in njp into combo)
Did they fix the b1,1 wiff problem? I've tried it on most characters including Quan and b1 stands them up immediately allowing the following 1 to always hit
Instead of putting them on always block, try putting it to stance, and then put them in crouch
I did that with sub zero and and kenshi and it wiffs every single time lol @colt
Not ideal. There's nothing wrong with safe-ish negative 11% overhead.
That thing had nothing to do with OS in question tbh.
Fixed for justice. People were claiming that because they were assuming that Displacer's TP was as good as MK9 one but with more destination options and then someone said that MoS can indefinitely upkeep his trap by adding new orbs to existing two, and others supposed that opponent caught in trap must block for entire duration for free 50/50.
PC still doesn't have latest patch. And honestly, current build is a mess.
My biggest problem is when someone d3 or something low when i f1 and it just whiffs. This change doesn't completely wreck all variations of Raiden but it does make the neutral much more difficult.
I use b3,2 a lot now at distance. Not ideal but it's the best he's got
f2, 2+4 Can be used in this way in other non tg variations, opening up for d1 d4 hit if they block into run combo pressure. hitconfirm into fly for corner or block confirm into shocker for safer. Great in mos to drop a 2nd orb if d4 is blocked. so to speak.
