1. He can commit to f12 b2 for full combo that's safe
this is universal in ALL TG raiden matchups. it's the basic pressure mixup that he has in TG. f12b2 to discourage them from pressing a button after f12, or f12 into anything because it's only -3. f12 f12 to continue the mixup, f12 grab, f12 overhead/low if they are being very respectful

the real issue is chars who actually have to commit to unsafe options to beat the 9f gap of f12 f12, which you already understand.

Few things

1. He can commit to f12 b2 for full combo that's safe

2. Kenshi tries a just frame d2 and whiffs/baited now eating 45% combo

3. Kenshi normals being crap are the issue

4. Also if I try reversal armor ex sc or ex to guess what? Raiden blocks it then it's a 45% combo

Be real here not a troll
It's not a troll, as tested just now in chefs stream. It's an option. D2 AFTER F12

And when you had meter, MIT respected your WU. You could've still got out of dodge, but still opt'd for the throw.

Just throwin that out there, use it or lose it. pze

the only option isn't "just to trade", d2 is a real option that will be a very favorably trade or outright beat f12 f12 since f12 f12 frame perfect is hard to time.

the real issue is that d2 is such a big risk compared to the small risk raiden takes for using that string.

Smh nice option select there buddy
Uh, why the judgmental attitude? And what option select are you talking of? Outside of five locals, I never committed the majority of my time to playing MKX, that time went to Killer Instinct. There's nothing about that which warrants an option select because nobody forced me to make these choices.

If I want to limit myself by not practicing like I should, that's on me, not the players I fought. Besides, even if I did practice I would still lose to @R.E.O. since, oh wait...he's a god with NRS games. One does not simply go against him expecting to win.

You might want to think your response over carefully before you level blind accusations at me once more.

Lol it's a blatant option select. Don't get your panties in a bunch. You didn't have to mention you don't practice the game but you did. It's fine but don't deny it's an option select. Not the end of the world

Simmer down. The comment wasn't intended as an option select. That's an assumption you chose to make and it's incorrect at that.

Didn't I just basically say that even if I did practice, there is no guarantee that I would have won? I like how you overlooked that. I practice KI far more and still get blown up occasionally in some events.

Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!
No kenshi trades with d2. A trade thats in his favor. Not an amazing option, but an option nonetheless
Yeah I just double checked this in the meantime, I was under the impression that Kenshi's uppercut was 10 frames for some reason. But that's still a pretty grim best case scenario lol.

the kenshi vs raiden situation is dumb. i am making a video of my opinion on it right now.

and yes, MIT's raiden is super far from any semblence of optimization, but f12 f12 is a simple enough strategy to execute and effective. also pig went MILEENA at some point for some reason, mileena has JUST AS HARD of a time with f12 f12 type stuff b/c her normals are also horribly slow just like kenshi's.
I tried Mileena first as a risky test because she can reversal roll the f12 junk

unorthodox
Raiden should be the top character. He's a god. He should be the Man of Steel of MKX.
But maybe make f12 less safe on block, but keep f1 startup the same so it can still be used as his quick punish.

ALSO... great sets so far to everyone at combo breaker. Best commentary yet, too!
