Command Moves
Filler Picture
Raiden doesn't need any command moves, he's not incompetent like the rest of the cast.
Special Attacks
Poison Mist = (qcb+P) -
(EX) = qcb+AC -
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 60/80/120
Raiden Bomb = (dp+P) -
(EX) = dp+AC -
- Hit Detection: Close/High
- Damage: 15+120/70+120
Head Crusher = (hcf+K) -
(EX) = hcf+BD -
- Hit Detection: Close
- Damage: 150/200
Giant Bomb = (db~f+P) - Raiden crouches like a quarterback then yells "Ready!? GO!!!" as he proceeds to do a shoulder tackle knocking the opponent onto the ground, the charge time is about half a second, the weak version has a pretty short start-up and makes Raiden travel halfway across the screen, it's also quite safe, the strong version has a slightly longer start-up but it makes him travel farther across the screen, this move does pretty good chip damage on block, the strong version also has a good chunk of auto-guard at start-up making it somewhat safe but very convenient if you use it along with his feint, the weak version combos from strong normals but you'll have to think up your own set-ups for the strong version, drive/super cancel-able as soon as it makes contact with the opponent.
(EX) = db~f+AC - Significantly faster start-up, the auto-guard is removed, makes him travel a little bit farther compared to the weak and strong versions, does two hits instead of one, on the second hit it launches the opponent into the air whether they were in a juggled state or not, as soon they're hit they're a juggled state which means you can continue whatever you want as soon as you recover, combo's into weak Poison Mist twice, Raiden Bomb/EX, Super Dropkick if you wait until they're body falls to the mid part of the screen, and his neomax Raiden Bomber if you time is correctly.
- Drive/Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 70/100/70+100
Giant Bomb Feint = (db~f+P, AB) - Raiden crouches like a quarterback then yells "Ready!? but if you press AB afterward it makes him stop and then go back to his neutral fighting stance, very useful for faking people out, but this move will probably get most of it's use when you accidentally put in the input for strong tackle instead of weak which is okay because this move will save your butt.
