Raiden General Discussion

So. Some time has passed since release. What cameos have you been using?

For combos I think Scorpion is the best since you get ~30% no bar from any starter and ~45% one bar combos. Also has an overhead special which goes nicely with F434 and gets you decent damage for what it is (FYI it's a combo starter).

For pressure/chip damage I've been using Kano combining him with DB3. Also some zoning help is appreciated on Raiden.

Maybe we could get a separate thread for discussing Raiden cameos, @RoboCop ?
i found a bug with scorpion sadly, he should normally be even better with raiden. after raidens back throw, you should be able to juggle with scorpions up kameo, but he spawns on the wrong side of raiden, far off the screen. you only hear the fire and see the kameo bar go away.

Yeah. Would be great if we could combo from throw. with good timing you can use scorpion early and get a bit more damage but no combo, just 12,5%

For combos I think Scorpion is the best since you get ~30% no bar from any starter and ~50% one bar combos. Also has an overhead special which goes nicely with F434 and gets you decent damage for what it is (FYI it's a combo starter).

I use sektor. Up rocket for making DB3 safer and we get decent damage and corner carry with telepunch into fly enders (see my post in the combo thread). I think flame burner is the invincible wakeup right? I need to use that more. Up rocket also lets me get safe teleports in. But one thing I don’t like is it seems that it doesn’t have a lot of block stun so the projectile oki isn’t that good.

Tbh is the 26 or so percent combo with meter from throw all that worth it? Sure it’d be nice to close off the round but it seems expensive for not a whole lot of reward.

Depends on the round tbh. Just having the option would be great.
80+f teleport makes me sad though :(
Yeah. My boy Raiden went from having the best tp in the game in mk9 and mk11 to not being able to punish some projectiles unless on a hard read

tbh i hope they will remove any way to combo from throws from the game.
If you give up kombo damage with the kameo pick, but get a kombo throw then that is an awesome decision to have to make when picking kameo. But if a kameo gives you godly kombos and the kombo throw then bad on the dev team, unless it cost full kameo.
