Combo List - Raiden The Official Raiden Combo Thread - All combos here

I can't do LRC. Any advice? Can I play Thunder God without utilizing LRC?
Justin Wong made top 8 with Thunder God at two tournaments w/o LRCs. Are LRCs good to learn? Yes, for sure. Do they build meter, maximize damage, etc.? Yes. Can you win without them? Yeah, for the time being, unless maybe you are playing top 8 caliber opponents.
 
Okay so what I think should be done in the corner now compared to before is restand combos that end in fireball. Ive tested this and if you go for the low (b3,3 or b3,2 hold) after the fireball, it cannot be interrupted by any normals as far as I could tell. The b2 can be interrupted, but while playing online almost everyone ducked after the fireball hit. It can be armored, but if you are on top of the mind games reading the armor move should be fairly easy (just watch if they have meter/their habits), and you usually can punish for another full combo.

b2 - b2 - b1,4 - df2 EX - b1,4 - LRC - 2,1,4 - db1 (44% 1 bar, restand)

b3,3 - df2 EX - b1,4 - LRC - 2,1,3 - b3,2 hold - b1,4 - db1 (37% 1 bar, restand)

b2 - b2 - b3,2 hold - b1,4 - db1 (33% meterless, restand)
b2 - b2 - b1,4 - LRC - 2,1,3 - f1,2b2 hold - b1,4 - db1 (39% meterless, restand)

b3,2 hold - j2 - b1,4 - LRC - 2,1,4 - db1 (23% meterless restand)


These are the combos I use atm (all the midscreen combos I use are pretty much unchanged from my previous long ass post lol), but I am interested in seeing some more vicinity blast tech in combos.

Not sure if it's known, checked the last few pages and didn't see it, but Raiden can get still get 40% meterless off of his overhead in the corner:

B2 B2 B14 LRC 213 214 DF2

I can't get the DF2 to connect... tried for like 30 minutes.

It's a super tight window both for the cancel and to get the 214 to connect while they're high enough for the DF2 to connect. 1 or 2 frame window for the cancel and the 214 seemed a little more lax, prob 2 or 3 frames.

No idea if its mentioned yet.

Corner b2 b2 b14 rc 213 214 ex df2 f12b2 b11+3, that gets around 60% for 1 bar.

No idea what Gravity scaling means. I just did it again, 25% & 35% with LBC. Its very doable but I'm not great at the LBC, so I only land it now & again.

You're doing 2 separate combos because you're not properly linking B1,4 and 2,1,3_4 together. Gravity scaling means the character falls down faster the more hits in a juggle they take.
