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

You are correct in that landing 3 consecutive f12b2s will require some running. You'll just have to play with that in order to get the timing right. As for the b2 OS, that's an example of something where you can aggravate people by asking because it's plastered all over these boards and a simple search should take care of it. I'm not hating on you or anything, I'm just giving you a heads up ahead of time because it's a pet peeve for a lot of people when somebody comes on here asking a question without looking to find the answer or doing any research first.

There's an entire thread on this forum if you want to read all the discussion, but to answer your question just watch this video:

that is a good video. @Chaosphere man you gotta stick it and pin it and be done with OS questions.
 
Meh, people are silly. There's no thread specifically about the OS anywhere on the front page of the Raiden forum, nor is there any guide or obvious thread to look in. It's probably somewhere in this thread or the general discussion thread but it doesn't make sense for me(or other people who here vague claims about it every time Raiden comes up) to dig through dozens of pages consisting of a bunch of out dated info as opposed to just asking. Using the TYM search function for something like "Raiden Option Select" didn't provide me with any clear answers either. They should sticky a thread about it or something, save everybody some aggravation.
Is b2 the only option select? I was under the impression that there was a way to make the low safe(again you always hear about Raiden's safe 50/50's) but I can't figure it out. I'm realizing now though that it's probably a Thunder God thing and the issue is that I'm playing Displacer.

I wish the combos listed where to run - it'd make it easier for casuals like myself and it seems like other characters threads do it that way - but I suppose I'll figure it out. Just wanted to make sure that was the issue and I wasn't trying to figure out mislabeled or normalized combos. Thanks for the info!
B34 is a low starter that leaves you with enough time to see if the low hit or not which means you can cancle it into shocker on block on reaction (maybe you can also simply do nothing I dont have the moves' frame data on my mind currently)

Well, I'm not sure how to help you navigate the site, but here's the thread:

http://testyourmight.com/threads/raiden-b2-overhead-launcher-option-select-from-63-to-7-on-block.51227/

And no, this is not TG dependent. It will work with any variation.

It sounds like you're just talking hit confirming, which is different. Raiden's option select refers to a situation that you can't hit confirm, but can do the button inputs in such a way that, if done properly, you always get the favorable result.

Was just giving an example for why raidens low is safe. Also can you (should you) os the b3?

I don't think you're quite understanding me. His OS is one very specific circumstance with the b2. You are talking about hit confirming, which is a related but different concept. His OS is basically exploiting the frame data to give you two different results using the same (and very strict) input timing, while hit confirming means you're making that adjustment based on your reflexes. Watch the video I posted and you'll see what I mean.

My answer was aimed at "I was under the impression that there was a way to make the low safe(again you always hear about Raiden's safe 50/50's) but I can't figure it out."

His safe 50/50 refers to his b32[h] and his b2~df2

Both of which are -7

People love to talk about that, but what they never want to mention is that we only get 25% from the b32 (27% in the corner), so if we actually want to make the mix-up worth it we need to go for b33 EXdf2 which is -14

Well, there is a way to make low safe for non-TG as well through confirming and OH through OS. Fairly sure you can confirm into EX as well, although maybe it's easier with b34 that deals a bit less damage as far as I know.

Checked out new non-TG combos and hell, shit is tight :(
Old ones weren't better though, so w/e :p
 
since LRC no longer work , does this mean that all LRC comboes goes to trash?
my god. my muscle memory from doing all those lrc comboes... but without LRC we need to discover new BNB-s, im afraid thunder god is castrated beyond help. can someone post videos or new something with new combos? im on a pc and it will be a while until i can check out new raiden, im especially intrigued by displacer.

They still work it just requires different timing. I was repracticing the LRCs for a hour and got use to it again. Also NRS has confirmed that they are going to fix it. So theres no need to worry.

All too easy...
Does Raiden have any combo with ex teleport like Ethereal Mileena has?
214 xx EX Teleport, 34, F2 2+4, F12B2 xxx superman for 39%

You can replace the 34 with 213 for a less tight link after the teleport for slightly less damage at 37%

B33 xx EX teleport, 213, NJP, F2 2+4, F12B2xxSuperman for 35%

You can also do B2 EX teleport and link into F12B2

If they block the 214 and you cancel into EX shocker you get punished, if they block 214 and you cancel into EX teleport you are plus
It's a good gimmick. There is plenty time to confirm that string as well. And worst case you are only at -2.

True, you do have time to confirm if the 2 hits but if they randomly forget to block the low at the end then you cant. I also just think the EX tele is more swag anyway

I've heard that the latest patch ruined some combos fo Displacer\MoS. Like f1,2,b1~f1,2,b1~f1,2,b1 link. Is it true or is it just a timing issue? If it's true then what do you guys use as new BnBs for these variations?
 
I found some new combos for thunder god Raiden recently. The Focus is getting the maximum damage in the corner. Midscreen combos dont need to be improved because they only carry the opponent to the corner where you should deal the most damage.

Note: A good Raiden Player uses the standing reset in the corner but if you play differently; use these maximum damaging combos
Note: Almost every combo consist of a tight thunderball cancel, so you should be already able to perform them.
Note: If you have Improvements or better combos, you can post them as well.
Note: All the following combos are found by myself, i did not search up, wether they are found before.
Note: You can change the electrocute in whatever you want (Grab,Superman....)

you can do a stand 4 after the two f12b2(hold) for like... slightly more. less than a percent.

and i think these are better meterless overhead and low by 1 percent
