[jungaria]

@jungaria Argh fukcing fat mexican fingers cant tpe well on this iphone :(

[jungaria]

Had a goof time watching this, but its ironic how imwqtching this to kick my friends ass with raidn bcuz thats his main and my main is sub zero and you used him as your ginny pig in your fataloties :(

[UPTOWNRAIDEN559]

Back X Square Triangle + Forward down triangle, X X Circle, X-Ray PS3 11 hits easy

[twisterfield651]

I have a really easy, cheap combo that might get people angry at you but who cares.

Go to the wall and do his 3,3,4 combo 3 times in rapid succession. You can also do 3,3,4,3,3,4,3,3 x ray.

[Embarq85]

@twisterfield651 oh yes. Great combos to start with. Good stuff man.

[thefireedc]

im trying to do the 35&UP combos like for hours until my hand hurts and i cant xD the teleport part its too hard 3,3,4 , teleport , i hate that XD, and the F2 + DF2 destroyed my hand when you do it at the second time is more harder

[Embarq85]

@thefireedc I hear you man. if the f2, df2 is too rough, you can probably get away with just pushing 2,df2 or 1,df2. The 3,3,4,teleport...it's all back to back. No need to rush the inputs, just push it all without any pause and it should happen. pushh 3,3,4 fast...he'll catch up and then take your time on the teleport. Hope that helps.

[MrTnum]

do u use the xbox 360 pad or the xbox 360 analog stick?

[Embarq85]

@MrTnum the pad. I can't use the stick for anything.

[DARKNESSandMADNESS]

thank´s eminent, will need too much practice

[WeskerPWNAGE]

good job on the tutorial plus awesome music! Mind telling me the song at 5:40?

[purestr99109]

@WeskerPWNAGE thats Carmina Burana by Carl Orff

[DARKNESSandMADNESS]

you´re a master

[Embarq85]

@DARKNESSandMADNESS thanks man. I hope this tutorial still helps. Raiden hasn't changed too much.

[espositokj]

how do you consistently do an attack after 334 teleport? it seems down 1 superman is the only thing i can do every time after it and its really hard timing to do anytthing else :\

[Embarq85]

@espositokj they made the recovery on the teleport a little longer, so the only thing that's worth trying every time is f2, shock. Teleport, wait a sec, input f2, shock. A little practice (not much at all) and you'll get it everytime.

[IIMinatoUzumakiII]

RT???

[Embarq85]

@IIMinatoUzumakiII Right trigger

[Slayvic]

11:58 fap fap fap fap XD

[Embarq85]

@dhenley365 haha. That was my dog. I said *&^% it and didn't edit it. Though we play mk, I don't think many would say this game is fap worthy. You're the first one to acknowledge that sound though. I thought someone would have pointed it out a long time ago.

[bolich16]

Did you slow this down? It seems a lot slower than actually game play?

[Embarq85]

@bolich16 yes. wanted to make sure everyone could see what's happening.

[bolich16]

@Embarq85 Understandable, I pretty much main with Raiden and I can do almost every combo in this video except teleport combos I have an extremely difficult time getting him to land anything out of the teleport. The teleport is there in time but then I can't get him to throw anything after it. any tips?

[Embarq85]

@bolich16 it's much harder now since the last patch. They added 2 frames of recovery time after a teleport. I actually have to delay my inputs in teleport combos. The only ones I do now involve 2 or f2 into shock after a teleport. If I try 3,3,4 or b3,1,2 it almost never lands.

[bluexcuter]

What are the songs used in this vid? especillay the one at 2:05

[Sannin86]

do you fight like this online?

[Embarq85]

@Sannin86 I do. I barely use Raiden now, but when I hit combos, I go for many of these. I stagger strings into teleports like b3,teleport ~ d3 ~ b3,1,teleport ~ sweep. I never teleport to a fullscreen opponent. After a superman, I'll teleport before they wake up and grab. Combos are crucial, but it's a lot of footsies and shenanigans. Wall combos are always big.

[Sannin86]

@Embarq85 man I wish i was at least half as good as you lol

[RockUgud]

How do you do the X-ray move? Is it different for all the characters?

[Embarq85]

@RockUgud right and left triggers at the same time. it's the same for all characters. if it's not working , you might not have an xray built up. Make sure your xray meter is full.

[hydroglyphic]

thumbs up if you came to this video after watching dsp get raped by raiden online

[petergriffin610]

ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA . . . . perfect victory

[Embarq85]

@petergriffin610 lol.

[Oho159]

after this im gonna kick shao kahn ass

[Embarq85]

@Oho159 you know it :)

[founk2k9]

By far the most helpful video i've ever seen. Thanks for the huge tip

[Embarq85]

@founk2k9 glad to help bro. hope you own everyone with Raiden.

[founk2k9]

@Embarq85 I have a couple of videos me doin some badass combos with ermac, combos i just thought of and combos i've never seen anybody else do, but i have no way of uploading them on here but when i do have a way i will hit you up so you can check them out. BTW can you make a video with Scorpion and another of Reptile?

[Embarq85]

@founk2k9 I definitely will. I can't on live right now, so there will many more videos shortly. I'll do Scorpion first. Can't wait to see your Ermac combos man.

[founk2k9]

@Embarq85 Cool. Thanks man. I think i can record the combos on my phone and upload them on here; if i can i will do that. Looking forward the the Scorpion tutorial.

[xarroganx]

this is a like two bar 45 or something you can also do 3 bar 47 with this if you add enhanced lightning ball in the beginning,

EX lightning ball*optional*<- 3,3,4, EXdb4, 3,3,4, EXdf2, 3,3,4 <-will fall to ground after that last spark kick.

without the enhances you can get a 30 something out of it and it is very simple to input

[Embarq85]

@xarroganx I'll check that out man thanks. I haven't really played Raiden for a while, so I'm sure there are some things people are doing since I made this guide. Appreciate the info man.

[lampard97]

Great tutorial great experience. LOL

[Embarq85]

@lampard97 thank you man. Glad you liked it. There shall be more.

[Xcelur8]

awesome guide! trying to work on raiden while i watch it atm lmao XD ok i have a question, about the combos at 6:11 or anyone with "du" i do the 3,3,4 then it wont let me do "d-u" right after for those combos, is it some sort of fix now? or am i just not timing it right?

[Xcelur8]

@Xcelur8 By the way, how long did it take for you to get this down good and well? you're an awesome raiden with some of these combos, like 10:25 haha

[Embarq85]

@Xcelur8 Thanks man. Any teleport combo...do the teleport right away. Do it before Raiden finishes all of the hits that come before the teleport...he'll catch up. When the game first came out I probably spent a few hours with Raiden and it just felt natural by then. I can do pretty much any combo with no problem. Practice the juggles on the wall. They'll sink in really fast. The teleport combos will have to be midscreen of course.

[TacTical383]

wat system u play on???

[Embarq85]

@TacTical383 Xbox. You?

[TacTical383]

@Embarq85 yea me too

[Embarq85]

@Embarq85 feel free to add me man. We can spar or whatever. I'm usually in a party with a lot of the top players.

[Maniccccc]

can you tell me plx what's your usual BnB midscreen and corner with Raidn ?

great guide and thanks

[Embarq85]

@Maniccccc I replied on your page. It kept giving me an error, when I responded here for some reason.

[Embarq85]

@Maniccccc It's all good. Keep me on my toes.

[tonkrogerio]

6:00 to 6:10 is NOT a natural combo, you will get punished hard doing that if they block the fly, please make that clear on your video. You have more unatural combos in there, you should train with autoblock on.

[Embarq85]

@tonkrogerio If you fly right away the fly is blockable. That's why there's a slight pause in there. Fly on the bounce up, so it cannot be blocked. The notations tell you when to do the moves. I know what you're talking about though. I tell all Raiden players I talk to about that.

[tonkrogerio]

@Embarq85 ok i will give it a try with your advice and i retract previous comment with apologies.

[graphikally]

Ugh the double taps are so impossible for me to do without its follow up getting mistaken for a forward attack. One main reason i hate mk9 =.=

[Embarq85]

@graphikally I know exactly what you mean. treat the dash as a part of the combo. example: b3,1,2,dash ~ 3,3,4 ~ bf1. Hope that helps. If you don't dash immediately those forward attacks come out all the time.

[kublaikhan1215]

CANIBUS!!! DON'T FORGET TO GET YOUR COPY OF "LYRICAL LAW" OUT NOW!!!! SNOWGOONS INSTRUMENTALS SHOULD BE ADDED TO YOUR NEXT VIDEO!!!! OR THE HITFARMERS!!!

[headbutter100]

Raiden's combo's go on forever he's no joke

[Embarq85]

@headbutter100 I know right. He's great, but it's not easy to get started on a live opponent. He has no low starters, but jump ins and surprise teleports help.

[FoxGTR32]

damn this dude knows Raiden for all nooobs here yall gotta practise every single combos the dude doin here this is pretty much all you need to kno about raiden this the kind of vid i give a like

[Embarq85]

@FoxGTR32 thank you man. 

[Embarq85]

@FoxGTR32 Iam putting my Rain footage together. I just use my thumb. I press 2 and then press my thumb right between 1 & 2, so they go down at the same time. It's weird to get used to and has to be done fairly quick. Hope you get it.

[MastodonManiac]

@FoxGTR32 You need to practice English.

[FoxGTR32]

@MastodonManiac i wasnt talkin to u sorry

[TheykilledHidan]

I just started playing Mortal Kombat and I really like playing raiden I can usually do 20% combos but when it gets o after b3,1,2 Im not close enough to do anything other than an Electric Fly and when i try stepping in the enemy hits the ground and my combo's over, please help

[Maniccccc]

@TheykilledHidan you need to dash after B3 1 2

[sonic4697]

@Embarq85 how do you make combos when they keep updating it and making it almost impossable

[Embarq85]

@sonic4697 I know what you mean. I usually do things that won't be patched. Smoke otg bomb has never been in any of my vids, because it was going to get patched. If anything changes, I'll update my combos. All of these Raiden combos still work the same.

[sonic4697]

@Embarq85 thanks and there is a combo that starts with a patch just doesnt do 40%

[Embarq85]

@sonic4697 oh bummer. i can't wait til they're done fixing everything.

[killerlesbians]

@Embarq85 can you help me rain juste came out and when i try to hit, B+2,1+2 i only can get the first part (B+2) i don't get how to do the ones that need to be pressed at the same time, please help me

[3plictgaming]

second song

[Embarq85]

@3plictgaming requiem for a dream

[yobrady1]

can we please have  reptile. If you can do that, Thanks :)

[Embarq85]

@yobrady1 I will do that. I have been meaning to get to reptile.

[TheB3stOfTheB3st]

I hope you get good enough to do one with rain the next dlc

[Embarq85]

@TheB3stOfTheB3st I will try to get him as soon as he comes out. kenshi combos are coming soon and I know they're late. I'm finishing my Kabal guide right now.

[UncagedLunatik]

yo..thanks for this man.

[Embarq85]

@UncagedLunatik you're welcome bro. glad it helps. more tutorials soon.

[BieberSucksCock100]

@clminorclm I had the same problem, only i wasnt doing 3,3,4 after the shock. Embarq85 gave me a tip of trying other moves after the shock, for example something easier than 3,3,4. Even if its only a 4, a jab. Do that until you have the timing down of exactly when raiden is going to drop the player after the shock, get that down and it should be a piece of cake. Worked wonders for me! Embarq knows his stuff :)

[BieberSucksCock100]

Yo man, just wondering if you could give me an advice on the timing for the df2? I can land that easy after b3,1,2 but the problem is landing b3,1,2 after he shocks him. When i press b3 raiden just walks back, any tips on the timing? Awesome video, btw. Very helpful.

[Embarq85]

@BieberSucksCock100 I know what you mean man. I used to listen to how Raiden sounded during the shock. I just have the timing down by that until I got used to it. Try forward f2,3,1+2 or f2,4 after shock. That shouldn't walk backwards until you get used to shock.

[ithetruth]

@Embarq85 Can you also give me this tracklist too? And by the way, nice tutorials (including ermac). Any ideas on what is next, if any?

[Embarq85]

@ithetruth thanks man. I'll look at the tracklist for you. just take a minute. Kabal is next and then Kenshi.

[RAmasterchief]

This video is awesome, kudos!! I'm still learning Raiden and quickly becoming my favorite after Subzero, I'm still not landing the vicinity blast after the teleport, beginning with b312... it looks so cool when the string goes up to 40% damage, love this game, chaining combos is so challenging but rewarding!

[Embarq85]

@RAmasterchief completely agree. you'll get it. b3,1,2 is one of his best combos. ermac and scarlet tutorial might be helpful, if you become interested in them.

[Hoshygaki]

Very Helpful! =D thanks for the upload!

[Embarq85]

@Hoshygaki thanks man. Kabal and Skarlet are being put together today.

[xScitna]

b,f,f,d,4*

[xScitna]

Just so you know, the fatality you put as b,f,f,d,2 is actually bf,f,f,d,4.. might wanna correct it.

[Embarq85]

@xScitna oh ya. thanks man. I'll put it in the description, because redoing the vid would be impossible now. I deleted all that footage.

[killakev9589]

ok im having a problem, so i do b321 dash 2 df2 334 bf3, my problem is that sometime the 334 doesnt link after the df2 lighting grab thing. idk why then sometimes it does and others it wiffs

[Embarq85]

@killakev9589 the timing to hit the 3,3,4 after the shock is a lot tighter than f2 or b3 because it hits higher. it does the most damage. I leave the volume up and listen to how Raiden sounds just before he throws the opponent down. Because the window is so small, I stick with b3 or f2 combos online.

[krazykitana]

what the name of that track you used for wall combos

[Embarq85]

@krazykitana tracklist is on your channel. It kept erroring out when I tried to respond to you here. Good music.

[Embarq85]

@scobai83 I am glad they're helping. If you have any suggestions, I'll be glad to put em in.

[Jdog98100]

Nice combos took me some practice, but they really helped me thanks man :)

[Embarq85]

@Jdog98100 no problem man. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

[sprycrab]

i was looking for a good raiden combos tutorial and this is the perfect one nice jod dude...

[Embarq85]

@sprycrab thanks man. glad it helped.

[krazykitana]

@Embarq85 dude list me the songs used in this video come on

[bomper575]

Just wanted to tell you what a huge help this guide was to the new player. I haven't really played any fighting games in the past. I feel like this tutorial was exactly what I needed to get going. Keep up the great work dude. A++++

[Embarq85]

@bomper575 thanks man and I am very glad that it helped. If you have any questions, just let me know. There is an Ermac guide up now, but one step at a time bro. I hope you kick everyone's ass.

[lucymydog1995]

lol i got the numbers mixed up... i would have thought that circle (B) would have been 3.

[VanceShelton]

good shit bro... Love the music, and the way you laid the video out.  Helpful for anyone!

[Embarq85]

@VanceShelton thank you man. I appreciate it. I did the Ermac combo yesterday and it will be in his vid.

j1,b2,b1,db1 ~ j3,db4 ~ 22,xray (charge the b2 just long enough to still be considered apart of the string)

[VanceShelton]

@Embarq85 hm nice ill have to try it out.... and change my video! LoL still dont see how it beats my damage, B2,B1 isnt as strong of a starter as B1,1,4.

[Embarq85]

@VanceShelton b2 has to be charged slightly (just long enough to connect with jump punch. Ermac guide is uploading today.

[VanceShelton]

@Embarq85 yea i thought of that after, would be difficult to pull off/time properly but props! Ill have to record it myself after you hit it ;) cant wait to see the vid bro....

[lucymydog1995]

at 5:20 it seems like its not really worth doing the x-ray. it adds such little damage that you'd be better off just saving it for the breaker or enhanced or even x-ray later.

[Embarq85]

@lucymydog1995 I hear you man. It's just an example of what can be done. For it's ease and damage output, I usually just stick with 3,3,4,XRAY

[emzspurs]

And also, is it possible for you to put the combos in the description too with the damage % that they do, say for future reference where we just want to check the combo and use the video footage as an example. Very much appriciated!

[Embarq85]

@emzspurs sure man. I'll update the description within the next 24 hours.

[IntoTheMeatGrinder]

@Embarq85 yes, please have the button inputs on too in practice mode

[IntoTheMeatGrinder]

@Embarq85 yes, please have the button inputs on too in practice mode. makes it easier to get the timing right.

[emzspurs]

Nice one. Very detailed and very helpful. Which ones would you recommend for online play?

[gor1n14]

that was beastly m8!!!!really great vid.

[Embarq85]

@gor1n14 thank you man. sorry I didn't reply sooner, I didn't realize I had some of these comments. Ermacs video is uploading right now. Hope you find it helpful.
