I've been playing Sub-Zero since day 1 of MK9 and decided to play another character to deal with his
real bad match ups. This was my Raiden initiation in tournaments. Got me to semi-finals!
Of course I'm still inexperienced with the character against some match ups. Any good criticism is welcome. One thing I'd like to know is: what's Raiden BnB combo to punish Mileena's telekick and ball?
Thanks in advance.
F24 superman, get more consistent landing the superman after the F24
To punish mileenas blocked roll/tele kick i personally use stand 1 vb dash shocker, 33 vb B3 superman for 30%...I use this variation since it's pretty consistent and the VB builds some meter. Alternatively you can use en lightning after the B3 for wakeup pressure but it can be beaten with wakeup attacks or the second hit can be neutral crouched, so only use it when your opponent doesnt expect it.
Way too many random supermans, try to slow your roll on them a little bit and use them based more on reads rather than a prayer.
Don't burn your meter so much on full screen en lightning.
Work on your overall combo consistency
That's all I can think of for now...maybe try to mix some more throws into your game..and against mileena play a bit more patiently and bait out them tele kicks/rolls, then full aa combo punish.
