Very nice games man! You seem to be utilizing most of Raiden's best tools already. I especially liked how you caught him jumping several times with Air Electric Fly and also your Vicinity Blast traps. A couple of things I want to point out though:
Thunder fuck me; these vids aren't private anymore. Good matches, B W1zZ. They're a little dated obviously, being pre-patch and all. But still quite entertaining.
:moonwalk: They should be doing commentary for every tourny.
lol @ "Thunder fuck me" that's great lol...thanks for the props. Theres some other footage of me on http://www.twitch.tv/thedigitaldojo buried in the recordings...like various casuals, the following pre-patch tourney that I won (before devastation), and there are some matches of me vs. Tom Brady's Kung Lao. I'm just too lazy to go find all the time stamps right now lol, but I'll go dig through the mess sometime soon.
Well, the matches of you vs. Tom Brady are in the video archived from October 11th and they make up like... the first 80-90 minutes of it, which is awesome. I think there was some more Raiden from you later in that same archive but I can't remember for sure.
Yea, those were great Kung Lao vs. Raiden matches and you did show there is legit use for Ex-Teleport. Here is the link:
Dude, we all miss the out of the box Raiden. Three launching strings that give frame advantage on block? Yes please.
I think those shenanigans with vicinity blast in the corner are fucking hilarious. What was that? 3 3 4~vicinity blast, 1~vicinity blast, 1~vicinity blast, 1~vicinity blast for 35%? How many reps of that have you gotten before?
You play like the typical online raiden.. Almost everytime you teleport you cross the guy over.. Try changing that about your game.
I'd say work on punishing your opponents mistakes faster and overall reaction time. Also the combos, i seen you pressure alot with the B312 and 334 strings which is perfectly fine, but I think you could benefit from adding more D3 into F24 into your game. Also mix it up a bit more with B312 and 334. You could do just a B3, then a D3,F24 superman...or 33 tele, D3 into F24 or B312 etc. Don't forget about 121 shocker either, very fast punisher that leads to 33% damage. That's all I can think of right now, would have to see some more matches.
Thanks for the tips! I live in the US. I don't believe we've played online, but we should. I like your Raiden style.
Not bad, I like whenever I see a Raiden actually doing some combos lol. Was this before or after the patch?
aiden:
I just got done watching these matches. I'd say improve your overall poking game with D1 and D3. I didn't really see you use F24 that much, but you should since it has really good priority...and it works really well as corner pressure. After F24 is blocked you can attempt to dash in with another F24, but it's kind of a guessing game on what your opponent will do, since if you try to do another dash F24 and they jump, the combo will whiff and you'll be left open. Practice doing :en Shocker and standing 1 vb dash shocker as anti airs (into 29-30% combos, check the kombo kompendium). F23 is also a decent string to tele cancel out of or apply mixup pressure with...for example you could F23, D3 F24 (superman if it hits).
