Thanks. Yeah I was blasting music in my ears so I couldn't hear the crowd at all. It actually helps quite a bit.
yea seems like it would. ima try it for CEO 2012, when im there. good luck at evo man. btw, im on xbl, we should get a match sometime.
Sure. Go ahead and add me. I should be on sometime tonight.
I don't know about underrated and what kind of mindgames?
well maybe its because im new to raiden but he seems impossible to pin down,he can lame it out against anyone other than smoke and kabal,he can cut his strings short with teleport or throw,he can finish combos with teleport,he can teleport out of pressure or ex shocker out for 30%he's really fucking good man,i cant quite understand why everyone thinks he's ass or am i missing something?
I agree. But he can lame it out against smoke. Smoke has no option but to try and get in... you just have to be good at reacting to a smoke bomb with superman.
they were badass matches.
Starting at the 11:00 timestamp I play a good 20 minutes or so of matches against the Kombat Houston guys. I also played a shit ton of matches vs. Gross in the KH room at Dallas but they didn't get recorded

If someone has the full recording of myself vs. Maxter tournament match please upload it.
Do I ever. 9 frame starter and there's really no reason to duck against Raiden =p
Yeah, I don't use it that much but after watching you play I'm convinced. The only criticism I have is that I wish you'd been a bit a better at hit-confirming into 121~shocker, you missed a bunch of damage. It still worked out well for you though. 1212~tele is positive on hit so so I guess you at least get pressure if you mess up your hitconfirm and go into teleport.
Hahaha. Yeah who the hell expects 2 ex-teleports in a row? When you KNOW it's coming you don't know wtf to do other than hold block. People panic and try to punish your teleport. My match with smarrgasm really demonstrates this. I know it seems like a waste of meter... but shit... it works most of the time and it's a 37% combo if you hit them. I think it's worth the meter. Especially since raiden can build meter so quickly. Watching my matches with PL, he "punished" my ex-teleports twice. But really I think he made a mistake by trying to 21~spin my regular tele and was just late on the punish so the 21 came out in the other direction. I don't think he meant to punish those and got lucky both times. Almost had free combos haha. I want him in my pool at UFGT but that's really just luck of the draw. I was so ready for a "best raiden in the world" pop off if I had won hahahaha. Also, when the opponent knows you don't give a fuck with ex-teleport it allows you to regular tele in because they are just scared to hit a button. When they see the regular tele you can back dash and possibly whiff punish with b3.
Good games there! One thing you might play around with is canceling a blocked B3 into a throw. That way they won't know if you are going to finish the combo or throw them, i.e. mind games.
