Raiden is weak to KANO so anyone saying Raiden has no match-ups is just wrong. I can double flawless a raiden with kano. I have don it multiple times. Just keep spamming knive and ex knife and when he teleports, the reverse input for the knife is the upwards ball, so when he teleports, he will automatically get hit with an upwards ball. The only chance raiden has is dash blocking towards you or doing an ex-superman through your knife. One x-ray on raiden from kano means lights out.
you can jumpback punch with ANY character and stun raiden for a free combo when he teleports. You can put inputs backwards like nightwolfs shoulder ram and scorpions spear. Or if quick enough, you can uppercut raidens teleport or just lowkick spam. There is over 6 ways to punish the superman and teleport. His combos have disadvantage on block now, hes been nerfed and fixed.
Kung lao is BROKEN as hell and needs a nerf badly. Everything comes from the spin, the spin needs to be nerfed like 10 different ways.
1. He should NOT be able to spin TWICE in a row. thats lame as hell.
2. When you block a spin attack from kung lao, he should NOT be pushed back dashing distance. By the time you dash in, he can spin a 2nd time, it lands 100%. Only nightwolf shoulder ram and reptile elbow is fast enough currently to punish it. Maybe Mileena's roll. He should not be pushed back. He should stop in his tracks like a how kabal does when his nomad dash is blocked. he should be FULLY punished by combos on a blocked spin.
3.The whirlwind spin should NOT have priority over x-ray attacks. Thats lame as hell. Also, when he spins and I ground saw him with kabal, the ground saw misses.... It should not have priorit over raidens superman move either, or any projectiles or any ex armor moves. this spin goes through projectiles, it cancels and damages me when i use an xray on him and I cant nomad dash or superman this hoe.
4. Not sure if this nerf should be used or if its fair but the spin should possibly have a knockback feature to it instead of being a pop-up. The Ex-version of the Spin should be a POP-UP and the x-ray version of the spin should be a pop-up.
He is too broken, he has a styker roll, a lowhat, 4 different versions of teleports. 1 of which is NOT blockable, the other is 100% safe on block, one is a knockback, and the 4th tele is a POP-UP. On top of that, his ex-tele has shao khan armor on it and he can get a free hit and a free spin. His dive kick has priority over ANYTHING in the air, including air xrays, air-throws, anti-air throws and the ex has priority over air fireballs. the spin has priority Over EVERYTHING IN THE GAME except SOME fireballs form FAR distance.
Nightwolf shoulder ram is punished by uppercuts always, and his lightning is dodged completely if you jump in the air. He is not broken as all. Just ppl dont know how to play against nightwolf yet so they think hes S-tier.
