What do you think makes Raiden an online character?
He's just not amazing. He has fucked up active hitboxes that wrecks bad active hitboxes like he can press on Jade all day if you aren't amazing at b343 pressure with her but he's full of gaps, has no real amazing game plan, his damage is meh. He's just not good unless there is lag and you can do gimmicky shit.
Ha, I thought we both were
.^This sounds right. I certainly don't think they made her intentionally bad, I think it's more the character, at least as designed, doesn't play the Mortal Kombat 11 style as well. Interestingly, there were "leaks" a year-ish ago saying Mileena had been considered for the game and was rejected because the designers didn't think she'd fit the game's design and playstyle. Whether that leak was true or not, it seems the overall sentiment was.
If we do get a proper balance patch down the road, hopefully she does get some adjustments.
He can definitely be played solidly. He's got good mids, great counter-zoning with teleport, great ways out of pressure with static, great corner carry, and very useable zoning. His damage is above 30% every touch, which is definitely not meh. His unbreakable route in TW is on par a lot of characters max one bar damage.
No character is horrible in this game, some are just like, why would you play instead of playing joker lol
Because if I play Joker I wont be a special snowflake playing an uncommon character.
That's the deal with the variation system.
Offline is a different and better game for sure, but it's hard to judge characters without playing it.
Same aesthetic and voice, entirely different character from the ground up. The specials may be similar, but their usage is entirely different. As for power..
That's the general impression I've gotten about the game and it's roster overall. The bottom tier isn't Mortal Kombat (2011) levels of bottom tier.
Ya. Also, my dumb ass completely forgot to include my own main. List updated with D'Vorah.Am I understanding this right? Skarlet worse than Kitana, Terminator and Robocop?
I'm going to come in here and say that Raiden actually beats Joker.
I think this is a great summary of what Raiden can do right now. He an extremely solid character that actually goes toe-to-toe with most of the top tiers in this game. The only caveat is you have to play him in a very specific way (ie lame and extremely safe) in order to make MUs become even or to let you win.
I don't know where you've been for the last year, but if anything, it's shown that online is how everything should be judged.
Skarlet buttons up close are terrible.Am I understanding this right? Skarlet worse than Kitana, Terminator and Robocop?
Okay, I can see that.
Her only two bad matchups are Shang and Kotal and almost no one plays them especially in tournaments. And she's broken in ultimate because of mixups. OS'ing b3434/b343-delia/b343-ex delia is hard, 8-9fr quick hop/throw/delia/poke-delia/poke-ex delia is super dumb online. Some characters can only punish f21 after FB, but then you can't fuzzy f21/f2-delia. And so on.
I'm not gonna argue this much coz i dont play Raiden but i go here by Sonic word which said Joker destroys Raiden.
I'm a really nice person but mate that's the dumbest thing i've read in the past year.
