Raiden General Discussion

[Black Chapters]

do you consider him rushdown in mk11?

lol, I sure as fuck didn't

he was more a zoner

 

[Black Chapters]

I really hope they give Raiden something interesting, some unique quirk or something. Some type of trap or setup he can do with lightning, or something that makes him more interesting than simply a pure rushdown fighter.

I'm very confident his Lightning Ball at least can be held

and air Electric Fly take them to the ground, I'm hoping meter burn isn't just armor

yes, fullscreen lifelead character with explosive sequences imo

do you consider him rushdown in mk11?

No, sorry, I was just throwing out a generic character type. I considered him more mid-range/whiff punish in MK11. A lot of walking back and trying to catch people with F4, F2, or B12.

I didn't feel like he had the projectiles to be much of a true zoner. The startup on them didn't seem like he'd be able to win many Fullscreen battles.

thats true, but theres teleport if he gets outzoned. i wouldnt call him a zoner either, yet still a character who is best played at full screen in neutral.

Well no

not a true zoner, I never said that

but he damn sure wasn't good up klose either

honestly, now that hes a Shaolin I'm confident he'll be hype

anything is better than 11

That's why I considered him mid range in MK11. He did best at his max F4/F2/B1 ranges, and using his fast backwards walk speed. So more mid-range/whiff punish, and then using teleport to hit and run or for defense.

I like the style of Shaolin, I just hope he isn't like what Liu Kang was in MK11.

I can't wait for Raiden's breakdown at the next Kombat Kast! I'm sure it's gonna happen before launch.

is this confirmed?

 

[Marlow]

Based on the last couple trailers, it appears that Raiden has a mechanic where if he doesn't block he gets the shit kicked out of him. We're learning so much about this character!

well...........its Wednesday and we don't even have a Kast announced yet

so its not looking good

 

[Pizza]

I don't know, ask Cory or Tyler... they have all the answers

 

[Black Chapters]

wow

still no Raiden

 

[Pizza]

Raiden is cancelled

 

[Black Chapters]

there being no showcase for Raiden and Mileena and nether being in the beta despite being in the first wave of reveals is odd

 

[Marlow]

I find it strange that Raiden has been in a number of the trailers as an opponent, so clearly the character is built out enough for whatever playable builds they're using for their trailers, but apparently they're choosing not to put him in the beta.

I guess just more to explore when the game actually does come out.

I think it's a good thing, because I remember Raiden being shown in a beta in the last game and his best move immediately got nerfed into oblivion

They're foreshadowing.

 

[Black Chapters]

well I can at least have high hopes or Raiden after seeing Geras

dude is loaded

 

[kabelfritz]

im absolutely curious if raiden will fit into the madness or gets an "elephant in the room" design.
