Rain has 31% meterless HTB setup in corner here we go Bois(NOT Optimal!)

Rain is one of it not thee biggest winner of the patch with a whole new kit of tools to play with. Mostly advancing strings and massive hit adv changes. Those hit adv changes and the massive hit adv of b3 are shown here with Rain/Cyrax who is going to be quite scary this patch! Shown by Ketchup!

I'm curious, are we able to dash cancel F3 on hit and get a combo?

You can, but only in the corner it seems

Rain Cyrax 417 1 bar w/ meter drain and safe jump ender:
f21xxbf1 cancel b3xxback r1, dash up (have time for 4 portals) 21xxdb1EX j243 r1 f2 j142

Would love to know what the Cyrax forward throw optimal is, I'm getting 254 with safe jump ender for:
EX forward throw j243 r1 f2 j142


This team feels pretty viable, looping safe jump situations into launching strike throw 50/50s using the j32 OS is pretty sick. Off of a safe jump, they need to either armor or guess between forward throw into launch, back throw into launch, or 211 which can be confirmed into launch with a dash cancel 11. We build ridiculous amounts of meter, and are constantly sucking meter away to limit armor and breakers.

I think I found the new optimal off of meterless f21 / b3 cancels mid screen with Janet. Rain god combos from b3 are not easy but definitely worth practicing, leads to absolutely nutty damage and I'm generally surprised most people including the top Rain players aren't using them.

f21 bf1 cancel b3 rain god dash b34 janetX1 j142 janet X3 j142 = 435.86
