I decided to make this thread to be used as an encyclopedia for various Raiden combos. Feel free to post any combos not listed in this thread with the amount of damage it does, and I will update the first post.

NOTE: I did not list how much damage each combo does with a jump in punch. If you would like to calculate this yourself just add 3%.

I don't think you can land :r+:bp:bk twice back to back, and I can't test it atm because my xbox is broken.

If there is a video of someone doing this link me so I can see it.

Yo I have tryed this countless times, I really don't think its possible. And if it is actually possible, it would be way too hard and inconsistent and difficult to pull it off in a real match against a fighting oppenent.



But yea B W1zZ I got some more raiden combos for you man:

:raiden:Midscreen Combos:raiden:

b312, dash, b31 shocker, b31 superman. (34%) Really simple, nice for beginners

jip, b312, b312 shocker, b31 superman. (39%) Best midscreen combo possible to pull off after b312

jip, 334 teleport, f2 shocker, b312 enhanced lighting bolt. Don't remember the percent but this could actually be pulled off as a reset, or just to apply pressure if they quick recovery.

:raiden:Corner Combos:raiden:

jip, f24, d1 shocker, 334, 33 superman. (43-44%) Best thing you can do off of f24 in the corner

jip, 334 vicinity blast, f24, d1 shocker, f23 enhanced lighting bolts. I have used this as a reset so many times lol. If they try any attack you can do the whole 334 vicinity blast combo all over again for 41%. If they just stand there and block you get a free grab or pressure them. Even if they try to jump over your head a lightning ball will hit them on the other side and you can do any anti-air for punishment.

jip, 334 vicinity blast, 1 vicinity blast, 1 vicinity blast, 1212 shocker, f23 superman (41-43%) Just looks real cool with all the vicinity blasts :top:

It isn't that bad. Maybe slightly unrealistic to hit in a real match but it is possible with enough practice.

too smart to play MKX
:r:bk, :bk, :fk:fk:bk, :fk:fk~:d:r:bp, :r:bp:fk~:l:r:fk is a better corner combo starting from the overhead than listed in the original post. 37% damage, easy as all hell.

Can we make this kind of thread mandatory for every single character forum? The convenience is blowing my mind! :wow:

It's a work in progress so haven't gotten to it yet, but I'll add some air to airs.

If you want some combos listed tell me the inputs/damage % and I'll add it. I can't test anything at the moment.

Great work man.

Just some corrections :

Midscreen kombos

3. B312(there should be dash I guess)334:superman: is 28% not 27%
4. B312>>sh,B312:superman: is 33% not 31%
15. is 35% (but 39% with jip)



And something from me :

Midscreen kombos after overheads which i mentioned in other topic :

F4>>B312~SH,F2~VB,:superman: 32% hard :*(
F4>>B31~SH,F2~VB,B3~:superman: 31%
F4>>B31~SH,334 31%

Hey everyone, I don't play Raiden at all, so I don't know if this is incredibly old tech or not, but I found this messing around in practice:

JiP, b3,1,2;, 2, vicinity blast;, f2, shocker;, 3,3,4 teleport - 38%.

This does decent damage and leaves you at about +a million frames as your teleport ends before they're even done being knocked back by the last 4. Again, I'm not a Raiden player, so if this has been done before I apologize, but I didn't find it on this thread. Hopefully someone will utilize this, as it looked solid when I was playing around with it.

Woah I'm at work so I cant try this, FK you mentioned ending the corner combo in EX lightning ball is a reset. Does normal keep them stading or only EX?

So I will try replacing dive with EX ball and see what happens when I get home. Will it work in any corner combo? Like I use 334 4 334 33 shock f23 dive. Just end with EX lightning ball isntead?

EDIT: never-mind, tried this out now. I get it, the returning lightning from behind is what can create the reset.

The :en Lightning isn't really a true reset though, just a way to pressure your opponent on their wake up.

This thread is gold. Holy hell @ Raiden.
I don't understand why he's so underutilized on higher level play.
Especially when he's got genocidal corner strength, and an unpredictable damaging special that opens said corner like a book.
Great job, Wizz :D.
 
Midscreen:

JIP, B312, dash, shocker, f2, vb, jk, superman (39%)

Another corner combo starting w/ the f4 overhead:

f4, 4, 334, f23, shocker, f23, superman (37%)

I find this one easier to pull off than 33 after the 334 for the same amount of damage.

Kompendium updated. Upgraded the formatting a little bit, and added in more midscreen and :fk:fk:bk:d:l+:bp corner combo variations. :x combo sections have been added in as well, although incomplete at this point. Changed the notation on AA:fk AA:fp to :ur+:fk :ur+:fp
