Anyone having trouble with Grandmaster SubZero? My brother says the match up as Raiden is tough.
Not the MU thread but punish overhead w standing 2 usually punishes through clone. TG and Dis both have several ways around clone. Deal w clone and the match is pretty much yours. What makes it tough for him?

When I played it against a good GM, I saved meter for ex superman or try to fireball whenever he did clone. Just gotta play really well and pick your spots. Don't really spend meter unless you will be getting the advantage (corner, health, meter, the win, etc.)

EDIT: Oh and I forgot, this MU used to be fun but the sub community got Raiden nerfed lol.

I will look into some more
See if any cancels work on block. Maybe ex trap has armor or it doesn't negate a single orb. Check if the up ones changed. See if the tick from an orb hits armor.

Maybe it's just me but it feels impossible to cancel into ex away orb. And you have to use ex towards.

Yeah I just needed a quick tip or two while I was in this thread checking out some changes. We're playing the online beta and decided to play with Raiden and unfortunately sub zero's D4 is really abusing. The cancel into clone and backdash is gonna need some getting used to.

superman through clone made sense to me, raiden was simply teleporting through the clone while flying?

Against SZ you must be SUPER patient..if you have the life lead stay back and try to punish his effort to come in..
If he has the life lead...be even more patient..jump kick(jk3) is your friend(ooops edit) for jumping over a clone...and you must take him to the corner..every.....f.....time....other wise is his advantage in open space..i hope i helped.. ^^

Edit: today i played beta almost all day.. i have some small extras ;)

Can't wait and thanks. My brother is worried that Predator will get a few changes lol. He's picked up Raiden and used your Raiden as inspiration.
