I'd say they're on par really. TG's meter building, armor breaking and EX-bolt setups are no joke, not to mention that B32 gives him meterless midscreen damage to work with.Displacer > Thunder God
Oh my that is VERY nice to remember. I wonder if this also works on stuff like Smoke's or Quan's teleport.no, its only really good for mid combo. it can also punish goros telestomp everytime enhanced or not
Idk about smoke, but I'd assume so. Quan will get blown up by the ex for sure. I believe the regular vb will punish it as well. VB is also great for anyone who thinks crossing up Raiden is a good idea.Oh my that is VERY nice to remember. I wonder if this also works on stuff like Smoke's or Quan's teleport.
I suppose we did get a little off-topic. I can pretty much guarantee that db2 run cancels are all unsafe with maybe the exception of Displacer and MoS's F22+4 or something. Off of that you can maybe be safe and lose your +2 off of F22+4 in the process lol.should rename title to random useful db2 tech u probably didn't know
Oh that is very nice! Good finds there.Just went to the lab for a bit. Db2 catches Takeda's whiffed air teleport, Ermac's air teleport, Goro's stomp, Possessed Kenshi's teleport, Quan's and Smoke's teleport.
Shinnok's tricky portal can also be caught, though you have to have db2 active just as he appears behind you. Any later than that and it'll whiff.
No man. It is a High. Against Raiden people D3 or D4 on wake up. And you just wasted a bar. It can even be easily armor broken too. I use to think the same, but people learn quick. It is not that great idea!While we are on/off topic about db2. I feel like a lot of people forget that you can hold down 2 and extend the active frames. While it is by no means high level play, you can use a "whiffed" extended db2 to bait a player into going in or throwing a projectile. When they rush you, you can run cancel and meet them with f12b2 or something else quick to punish them.
On a more competitive and off topic note, exdb2 is probably Raiden's best wake up. 0 on block baby.
So... @EMPEROR_KNICKS 7-3?no, its only really good for mid combo. it can also punish goros telestomp everytime enhanced or not
yesSo... @EMPEROR_KNICKS 7-3?
Then what is the better armored wake up option?No man. It is a High. Against Raiden people D3 or D4 on wake up. And you just wasted a bar. It can even be easily armor broken too. I use to think the same, but people learn quick. It is not that great idea!
BlockThen what is the better armored wake up option?
exdf2 is a high as well and also punishable. exdb3 is a mid, but the hitbox can be unreliable. Of course they will read you if you wake up with exdb2 every time, but that's why you delay the wake up to mess up their oki or tech roll. I say it is the best because in a situation you really need to wake up with armor it will get the job done and reset the neutral.
