Raiden is a rushdown mix up character with bad normals and tools for neutral, footsie game, bad deffense in TG and MoS and he has a lot of useless, low effective, wrong desighned special moves and unnecessary gaps in some strings in TG, but hes up close game is good, he has good buttons for up close game and deffense is good, but only in displacer, but it's not enough for being strong, complete character in MKX, he should change. Raiden needs buffs.
Raiden needs these changes to become strong, complete character in MKX.
These buffs would improve hes bad neutral, footsies in general for all variation and improve hes bad deffense in general and also would diversifies the gameplay and he would be more fun to play.
Buffs:
1) 10-11 fr F2 -3 on block (now F2 is 15 fr F2 +2 on block) - I think it's a perfect change for improving hes neutral in general and stand up game in general. F2 is not true mid that's why 10-11 fr would be right and balanced.
2) 11 fr D4 +10 on hit and -6 on block (now D4 is 13 fr -4 on block and +19 on hit) - Fast F2 not true mid combined with fast D4 long range down poke would improve hes neutral, footsies. F2 has weaknese and its low profiling and D4 would cover F2 and also diversifies the gameplay.
3) DF2 shocker Mid and -5 on block (now DF2 is - 7 on block and High) - I just think this move is wrong desighned and its would be right changing it because this special move has a lot of recovery, its not a combostarter and all of these reasons is enough to making DF2 absolutely safe and hitting Mid.
4) EX DF2 Mid (now EX DF2 is High) - i also think this move is wrong desighned too and long recovery and unsafety its a good reasons to making EX DF2 hitting mid.
5) 7-8 fr Vicinity Blast DB2 (now DB2 is 15 fr) - this special move is not a launcher and hits high, 7-8 fr DB2 change would be nice and this special move becomes more viable.
6) 7-8 fr EX Vicinity Burst DB2 Mid -30 on block (now EX DB2 is 20 fr hits High and +2 on block) - This buff would help especially for TG and MOS variation and he would have fast armor for deffense in that varitions, fast but unsafe which is fair and balanced. Yea with this change Raiden will not be able to cancelling B2 into DB2 for meter for being safe and EX DB2 woul'nt be safe BUT its worth it, its a good trade off and fair and balanced.
7) Removing Gaps in two strings before DF2 , gaps formed after canceling lightnings in TG var. before canceling into shocker DF2 in two Thunder God variation strings starting from highs: F12 B2 hold 2 *GAP* DF2 and 112 hold 2 *GAP* DF2 - well those strings starts from a highs and its would be right.
8) 15 fr (F22+4) string in Thunder God variation (now (F22+4) is 22 fr) - that change would be nice.
Nerfs:
1) Ex teleport in displacer -5 on block down from +2 - i think with all of these buffs those nerfs would make sense.
2) Damage scalling -5% from BnB combos but not from lightnings, lightnings are already nerfed too much - same explanation as for ex teleport nerf. For example maybe nerfing scalling on ex shocker e.t.c. From 40% with meter to 35% with meter.
3)Also nerf NJP maybe - same explanation as for other nerfs above this one.
Immortal Thunder God Raiden needs all these buffs. IMO all of these changes are fair and balanced. And last patch is the last chance.
NRS pls...
P.s. Sorry for my english. I hope everything is written clearly. )))
