Now, someone tell me if this includes the hold followups and that means that outside of LRC, they have similar bnb's to Thunder God!

Ok he doesn't have the hold strings; the b2 is the same animation as Displacer/MOS f2b2+4, which is a lunging mid that is +2 on block, is special cancelable, and knocks down. Is THIS one +2 on block because that would be silly.



  • Raiden - Supernatural combo (Away + FK, BK) can now be 2in1 cancelled out of
  • Raiden - reduced the hitbox of Electric Fly & Thunder Fly
  • Raiden (Thunder God) - slightly less chip damage on charged normals
  • Raiden (Master of Storms/Displacer) - now has a God's Rage combo (Towards + FP, BP, Away + BP)
b34 is special cancelable now, it blockstrings into df2 on block and can confirm into exDB3 on hit.

displacer can ex teleport after b34 to combo, not sure if it is better than exDB3

exDF2 will work on smaller chars, doesn't work consistently on raiden, sub zero, kung jin, probably more.

f12b2 MoS/Displacer gets some good combos

the b2 in f12b2 in displacer/mos is the same move animation used in displacer/mos f2 2+4

Don't feel like making a new thread. Incase anyone is wondering, all lightning strings in TG do 1% less chip (last 4 hits do .25 instead of .5). Just tested it

Also, preliminary tests using b34 against a training dummy set to random block, it seems very doable to hit confirm b34 into ex shocker on hit and regular shocker on block, giving him a low that it safe against most of the cast for displacer/MoS

Edit: B34 shocker (df2) also jails on block so they cannot duck it

Edit 2: B34 EX Shocker is a character dependent combo. Does not connect in the Raiden mirror, not sure how many other characters this affects

this is interesting. seems to work on dvorah so if not a size thing could it just be a where the launch state is kinda thing? b34 ex shocker is tough later on in combos, too late and none of the specials will hit.

f12b2 ex teleport leaves you at some decent advantage
EDIT: If you do f1 as soon as you exit ex teleport it is a blockstring and cant be poked, but can be armored and backdashed

Has anybody tested the reduced hitbox on Electric Fly? How does that affect him?

I assume this change was made specifically for the Sub-Zero matchup. You can no longer superman his ice clone on reaction.

You can still go through it if you make a read, but not on reaction. By the time you see the clone, it's too late and you will get frozen if you try and superman.

Its bad enough that Thunder God has a safe 50/50 and has insane meter building, but to now give every variation an easy safe 50/50?

B33 was very hard to impossible to hit + block confirm and I am yet to see anyone who can actually do it consistently. Now they make B34 special cancelable for an EASY hit/block confirm.

They need to remove the OS from the game or make B2 non special cancelable.

While these changes helped the other variations, all 3 variations are now at the point where none of them NEED a safe 50/50.

1% isn't slightly less... is 30% of the chip of this string..anyway this wasn't a big deal!
F12 B2 has gap between 2nd and 3rd hit..BUT of course a great add for Raiden!

now his other 2 variation are more damaging that thunder god lol
