 I fear no gods, Raiden. That is why you shall lose. Raiden, the Thunder God. Charged with the protection of mortals, Raiden has led Earthrealm's warriors to crucial Mortal Kombat victories against ruthless invaders. Wielding godlike power, Lord Raiden unleashes his fury through lightning storm attacks and electrifying pressure. Once known as a Stoic Defender, he now seeks to obliterate those by all he holds dear. In the Master of Storms variation, Raiden uses Static Trap, placing electrified orbs on stage that connect in a bolt of lightning. Maximize the strategic placement of Static Traps by using different special moves to corner your opponent. On knockdown, quickly place a full lightning trap down for B plus right trigger to punish hasty jumps from the corner or crush your opponent's armored wake-up attacks. In the Displacer variation, Raiden can teleport to different stage locations, greatly increasing his mobility and rush-down potential. Use Fork Lightning, back-XB, in combination with enhanced teleports to extend combos and maintain superior stage positioning. Keep in mind Raiden can teleport in front of or behind his enemy, allowing him to continue the onslaught in the corner or bring the fight back to center stage. Raiden's Fury is unleashed with high pressure play and new combo strings in the Thunder God variation. His special move Lightning, down-back-X, can now be dash-canceled, allowing him to extend combos and continue the assault. Watch for the orb to pulse in Raiden's hands before inputting your run and close the gap between your opponent in the corner, Y-X-B. Overcharge Raiden's normal attacks by holding down the last input in a combo, effectively juggling a trapped opponent. Raiden's mix-ups are most effective in the corner, utilize his special move Shocker, down-forward-Y plus right trigger, and Electrofly, back-forward-A, to keep positional advantage in the fight. Curve your opponent's temper with some shock therapy. Today's forecast, victory. With a chance of brutality. A provoked God. Raiden wins. Safeguard Earthrealm with the electrifying Thunder God, Raiden. And tune in to the ESL Mortal Comet X Pro League presented by Xbox.
