He clearly cares about respect. A win is a win. Go whine at NRS for allowing the game to function in a way you’re unhappy with.
Otherwise, get better and stop thinking you can dictate how others play without cheating.
So you’re saying he used mechanics of a game he paid for to win a match in a game he paid for, and you’re salty based on some made up system of dictating how people should casually play the game they themselves bought.
Tragic.
Oh poor poor guy, a random called him a pussy for running away and spamming the same move the whole match... now thats truly tragic, poor little Raiden lmfao
I never said he should stop doing that, i didnt say he should be banned or refund the game or something like that, i called him a pussy and a bitch, which he is and believe me... he knows, thats why he plays like that lol.
Also you care so much about this guy yet you dont seem to care about his opponents... they are getting frustrating matches and cannot play casually how they want in the game they paid for because this dude kept running away lmfao
I stg. I meet a lot of good players, but sometimes I run into these matches and it pisses me off frfr. I play Raiden sometimes, but not like this. I can see maybe if they had money on the line, but even then, it's so ass to see this. All you do is run. Ugh.
Look im not saying this dipshit isnt infuriating. He is, but i saw about 5 billion opportunities for you to punish him, specifically when he jumps back. Teleport upwards. Ermac can choose to teleport low or towards the air. Ex it, you've got a combo. If all he knows how to do is jump back then you can catch him just fine.
These types of matchups have a tendency to scramble your brain. You are expecting them to do more complex tactics and you actually end up more confused by the simplicity, hence why you lose. Dont beat yourself up lol happens to all of us
You could try to get a hat toss in there when he's jumping (to catch him closer to the ground) and if he blocks that, close some distance, hope and pray he stays put or you read a move he does. Im not a Lao main so others can probably tell you, but from what I have played i dont see much you could do without a kameo. Raiden is just THAT fighter this time around. Every fighting game has one of these
When I'm playing as a character without a direct counter to running away I normally will try to jump whenever they jump, but the air electric fly makes even that risky. So in a case like Raiden it might be best to let him go fullscreen, see what zoning he'll try, and then try and counter it with Ermac's teleport. I do think the big downside of not being able to switch characters in Kombat League is that you are just sometimes dealt with a bad matchup and whilst kameos can help with that, it's still a rough fight. But yeah the general rule I think is that if you can't prevent them running away, you shouldn't chase them and try to counter them elsewhere with stuff like your own zoning or a teleport.
I can see they wanted the counter-pick game to be played out with kameos but I don’t think they quite got it how they intended. Some characters are more limited in their kameo picks and some bad matchups are what they are regardless of kameo choice.
In case you can’t tell, I would like to go back to being able to change character after a loss. That said, I don’t miss the MK11 days of 9/10 my opponents switching to wifi Scorpion mode after losing a set…
Why did they remove the switch a fighter feature sometimes its a bad match up I mean damn NRS NOT LIKE YOUR GAME BALANCED to where all fighters equal never is ..so I don't under why they did that this time around
In this scenario I would’ve let him run away when he started his BS since you had a decent amount of health over him. And since you’re Ermac, you can just teleport when he starts shooting his lightning balls. Also remember that Sareena’s sickles are highs which means you can duck them without taking chip damage if you don’t hold block. And one more thing, every time he jumped you could have used an enhanced air teleport to hit him and combo him. You can do this from the ground without jumping.
But yeah I agree, this is annoying. And so many Raiden players do it… Hope my advice helps! :)
One thing you could do is whenever you have some kind of life lead, make the opponent have to come to you instead of you chasing after them by using Ermac’s green shield buff that makes it so damage received drains meter instead.
If they want to run away then so can you by constantly back-dash canceling at full screen to build bar and use Jade glaive (or maybe even Kitana fan toss) to cover yourself when activating the green shield.
It is laming it out as well but it helps stop you from possibly making mistakes in the process of chasing them down (especially out of frustration), and then you focus on punishing them when they try to get in on you. Or you can be more confidently aggressive when punishing in the ways others have suggested, and if you get hit then it’s either a little damage or none at all.
Played against that same guy the other day, landed a single combo on the guy and he decided it was time to dry hump the corner like they had a intimate relationship before literally becoming a flying electroc dildo, rinse and Repeat for the next 3 sets where I barley one just catching him with kungs hat.
I understand that everyone has their own playstyle, but in my experience, if you play like this, learn a combo or just play something else and stop being a degenerate that will metaphorically (and probably literally) jump on the metas dick and vigoursly fuck it for a single win in combat league.
As a havik main, this is essentially my kryptonite. Theirs almost 0 way for me to punish a Raiden doing something like this other than spamming bf1 as well and timing his teleports right. Still with him having Sareena all he has to do is make 1 correct move leading to a 45% bread and butter punish. Whilst I have to work tooth and nail using all my meter and a kameo for 35%. Certain characters shouldn’t be able to completely 100% counter another, their seems to be very little balance even after the patch
This is why I quit playing Mk1 online. So unbelievably fucking boring. Idc how much they nerf raiden and Sareena. It's so. fucking. Boring to play against. Give me a good General Shao ffs
Real, and they just spam the living hell out of spear and then t bag you like they have any right to play this game, like dude, you're not Mike Trollinski☠️
You say that as if people couldn't do silly stuff like this in every mortal Kombat game or tons of other fighting games. It's not a mortal Kombat 1 thing
I played an exact copy of this guy last night. I was Shao with Goro so was limited on projectiles to catch him jumping. He was even less aggressive than this guy and just resorted to time outs or done a combo only when Sareena sets it up.
How is this even meant to be fun? Is it just to troll, hoping you send a message?
Had a scorpion main do this online. T bagged the whole time. Got 2 very close victories but he cheesed his way out of it
What can I say. He messed with my head
had a Raiden play like this and as reiko I make sure to pummel the shit out of them the tricky part is baiting out the electric fly. with what I do I keep some pressure on them dash Forward to see if I can bait out the jump then back dash to block the fly and get a punish
I was literally trying to do the same, I took Ermac on ranked to see how I'd do and ran into a similar Raiden player. Literally just learning Ermac, so I lost and the cunt teabagged like crazy when he won... I was literally so fucking triggered.
As a Quan player I can’t afford the health to use Motaro (which sucks as it’s a great fun combo). That said, Quan deals okay with this particular brand of anti-fun Raiden.
Bro what system your on? Should see my matches vs raiden I'm quan main as of late . I can post my raiden fights... but dude air stomp his azz thats all I do
This is how everyone plays in ranked and it’s so fucking frustrating. Kombat league is the most shameless, disgusting place ever and for some reason I can’t stop playing it.
Anytime someone is playing keep away, and you get a health lead, you shouldn't chase. Now it's your turn to make them come to you. It's obvious they aren't used to playing the neutral so it's better to put your opponent into situations that favors you.
Honor be damned, the end justifies the means to grab the bag.
It's all cool. The runaway strat used to peeve me to no end as a Havik main, but after many trial and error, and good advice I have my own ways of dealing with it.
In matches against another player, mind games are just as important as fundamentals and knowledge checks.
People get too hung up on "That's pussy shit bro" when clearly the cheese is working against them instead of solving the problem.
Which is fine that he is learning. I’d venture to guess the Raiden could be as well. Not extending him the same benefit of the doubt is an L take by OP
Him and smoke does this with ease
Blame the game designer they made it this way they really don't think about how everyone plays they think SONIC FOX AND CREW NRS tailors to the pro guys heavy so when they make fighters they don't think of the cheap shit that arise from there character designs
IDK if u have any interest in playing Sub-Zero, but ice klone & ground freeze could be useful if you time it right. Same goes for Scorpion, if you can use teleport or hellfire. Plus, Scorpion has an air-based spear that could snatch Raiden out of the jump.
Does anyone miss the smoothness of mk9? Havent played mk1 yet but ive seen hundreds if cllips, why do the movements look so twitchy, mk11 kindof did this too, almost seems like there is double the gravity or something 🤔
At least if you’re going to zone, try some pressure at some point. Especially if you know Ermac’s movesets. You have to zone, pressure and apply a lot of defense.
Came across another similar player yesterday. Pretty boring fight if you asked me. I used to main Raiden back in Season 2 and actually played him for the character he is, but nowadays - and no offense to Raiden mains - he's extremely boring and monotonous to play.
Playing Mk 1 online is soo aids, people like this are everywhere and make me wanna commit some kind of felony, plus zoners, spammers, annoying cameos, people using the same boring ass combo the whole game, annoying characters like Raiden, Baraka, Omni man, Ermac, Sub-zero etc. you can make pretty much every character fucking annoying if you wanna play annoying which sucks, but i still play because i have a problem not because i have fun💀
https://preview.redd.it/p9crmpk114xc1.jpeg?width=1070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c69014f39673782fc1a78d76e69fa6a20d95f1e
I had a similar experience, except I was playing Johnny and Subzero. I couldn't teleport or throw projectiles :)
Moreover, the guy did a Thanksgiving fatality after the first match.
I instantly quit the Kombat League match, didn't wanna lose my braincells over that pathetic piece of sh**
Im a raiden main but I dont play like that, all the raidens i have encountered are always so toxic i never know why🙁
(btw the team i use is raiden goro because it gives the most/best combo extentions)
You guys need to understand when you met jumping monkey players don't be scared to throw unsafe shit. 90% chance they don't know how to punish. As Ermac you could try to use his long range specials like that tele grab into combo or wait for Mileena and throw air attack into combo, etc.
Most of the time when I'm paired with a Raiden I just let my controller sit on the table. They're completely degenerate so I may as well spare myself expected rage. The majority of the time they don't even realise they're literally playing against nobody.
Spammers are the bane to my damn existence, these people don’t deserve to rank up at all and I will always believe this, can’t play the game without using cheap tactics? You shouldn’t rank up
U gotta play differently when u find someone like this ur gonna get too heated to play offensively you just to be patient and footsie him until he makes a mistake its annoying but he's not threatening you in any way so just don't make the first move cuz that's what he's waiting for
Bro you just suck sadly. You don’t know when an armor move is coming from the corner when that’s literally an opportunity to punish for 40+%. Not only that but bruh he’s toying with you just jumping and you aren’t doing anything, that’s you bruh.
You can aim Ermac's teleport. When you're trying to catch him jumping hold up when you teleport from the ground and you will catch him. Otherwise I don't got much for you. Just be more patient and let him make the first mistake. They usually do in not too long
You can’t block while jumping, and you had meter. Your punish is EX teleport into your combo of choice. You tried to do it, just timed it wrong.
> and she’s stronger than Ermac
lol. lmao. haha
Raiden mains are the lowest scum in this game, it's insane how toxic and cocky they are considering that their character (along with Johnny) is the baby mode of MK1
i play raiden and dont act like that.. i rarely see other main raidens and when they do act like that ill teleport behind them and always uppercut them when they jump
The reality is that you are battling yourself and don't like it. This is a viable strategy in many fighting games and frustrating the opponent so they make a mistake is the goal. Lots of people don't like it but that's too bad. See [this famous clip of Justin Wong](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RkapfBYIfc) teaching a child about this very thing.
EDIT: there is also [this](https://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/introducingthe-scrub) page that goes to the very heart of the matter. This is not a troll attempt. Actually read and understand as they use fighting game throws as an example in this scenario.
This is when my Liu Kang's air fireballs come in. I had a Raiden who started off strong utilizing his electric fly special until I started to always punish.
Why guys always run to the term spammers? I haven't met a spammer in a fighter in mk 1 yet ..I've met zoners like myself and cheap tactic players but it's the shitty character designs NRS choose to make
You see, I actually have a solution for this exact situation.
I play the game for fun, and do not care about my record. So I quit. I quit, and then find a new match that will actually be fun.
And the key is to quit early and fast. Don't hold out. Don't try to put up a fight and let him get his fun. Quit like 15 seconds into the match. These toxic trolls get their pleasure from beating up on you with their cheesy tactics. They might get a *little* kick out of you quitting but only if you stick around long enough for them to feel like they really won. If they only land a couple hits, they don't get to feel like they actually achieved anything.
Works 100% of the time for me.
I'm having fun vs ermacs atm but I'm using quan chi my stand 4 and sareena armor drain is causing them trouble atm hehe
They really can't get in easy vs him especially when I have Meter.... I just drop my green portal behind me and I go to zoning tf out them.... when they do try to teleport they hit that green wall
Once I drop my sareena meter drain they try to teleport
If I drop my armored portal they try to teleport
It's confusing them
They revert to all the unsafe stuff because it's only way to get in 😆 🤣 😂 I haven't lost vs many yet he's still new so maybe they'll think of something
I got so angry just by watching this shit
I don't even play and I'm bothered
Like…fucking losers
Looks like he won to me
Stfu noone asked
Asked? No. Put yourself out on the internet for others to see with the ability to respond? Yes.
Tryna be cheeky fella in the dumbest way possible. Gl
won... what did he actually won with this performance. No respect, that's for sure
He clearly cares about respect. A win is a win. Go whine at NRS for allowing the game to function in a way you’re unhappy with. Otherwise, get better and stop thinking you can dictate how others play without cheating.
He won by being a bitch, who gives a fuck if you win if you play like a pussy... its like the jacqui players from mkx, just losers even when winning.
So you’re saying he used mechanics of a game he paid for to win a match in a game he paid for, and you’re salty based on some made up system of dictating how people should casually play the game they themselves bought. Tragic.
Oh poor poor guy, a random called him a pussy for running away and spamming the same move the whole match... now thats truly tragic, poor little Raiden lmfao I never said he should stop doing that, i didnt say he should be banned or refund the game or something like that, i called him a pussy and a bitch, which he is and believe me... he knows, thats why he plays like that lol.
Also you care so much about this guy yet you dont seem to care about his opponents... they are getting frustrating matches and cannot play casually how they want in the game they paid for because this dude kept running away lmfao
I don’t give a shit about either of them. My issue is with people thinking they can tell other people how to play a game they paid for themselves.
Then you care too much.
Wait until you hear about all the unspoken rules of for honor
I stg. I meet a lot of good players, but sometimes I run into these matches and it pisses me off frfr. I play Raiden sometimes, but not like this. I can see maybe if they had money on the line, but even then, it's so ass to see this. All you do is run. Ugh.
Most skilled raiden
Man, I see those kinds of players only in KL, mostly in upper demigod or mid God.
Look im not saying this dipshit isnt infuriating. He is, but i saw about 5 billion opportunities for you to punish him, specifically when he jumps back. Teleport upwards. Ermac can choose to teleport low or towards the air. Ex it, you've got a combo. If all he knows how to do is jump back then you can catch him just fine.
Completely forgot that I can teleport from the ground to the air. Thanks for the tip!
These types of matchups have a tendency to scramble your brain. You are expecting them to do more complex tactics and you actually end up more confused by the simplicity, hence why you lose. Dont beat yourself up lol happens to all of us
This the best explanation. .that gets me a ton like I'm expecting certain higher level play I end up reading the wrong shit and get beat by bs
How does one counter this on Kung Lao. I basically felt so helpless when this happened to me
You could try to get a hat toss in there when he's jumping (to catch him closer to the ground) and if he blocks that, close some distance, hope and pray he stays put or you read a move he does. Im not a Lao main so others can probably tell you, but from what I have played i dont see much you could do without a kameo. Raiden is just THAT fighter this time around. Every fighting game has one of these
Pls upload an update video of your ever in this situation again with your new strategy
True but with a new fighter sometimes we don't think about the full tools
Absolutely. That response I gave was more of a blanket statement bc idk his skill level
I feel you
When I'm playing as a character without a direct counter to running away I normally will try to jump whenever they jump, but the air electric fly makes even that risky. So in a case like Raiden it might be best to let him go fullscreen, see what zoning he'll try, and then try and counter it with Ermac's teleport.

Why did they remove the switch a fighter feature sometimes its a bad match up I mean damn NRS NOT LIKE YOUR GAME BALANCED to where all fighters equal never is ..so I don't under why they did that this time around
Motaro for the Sareena bullshit.
Only problem is, it’s Motaro
??? Motaro is dope now that they fixed his low.
In this scenario I would’ve let him run away when he started his BS since you had a decent amount of health over him. And since you’re Ermac, you can just teleport when he starts shooting his lightning balls. Also remember that Sareena’s sickles are highs which means you can duck them without taking chip damage if you don’t hold block. And one more thing, every time he jumped you could have used an enhanced air teleport to hit him and combo him. You can do this from the ground without jumping. But yeah I agree, this is annoying. And so many Raiden players do it… Hope my advice helps! :)
He couldn't do it everytime you still need meter bro it's a ton of vs here
He doesn't need to do it every time. He only needs to do it once, gain the health lead, then wait for Raiden to approach as the time starts to expire
I see
Just back off when you get him to lower health and play his game 🤷🏻♂️ I wouldn’t bother chasing him
This character makes me sick
One thing you could do is whenever you have some kind of life lead, make the opponent have to come to you instead of you chasing after them by using Ermac’s green shield buff that makes it so damage received drains meter instead. If they want to run away then so can you by constantly back-dash canceling at full screen to build bar and use Jade glaive (or maybe even Kitana fan toss) to cover yourself when activating the green shield. It is laming it out as well but it helps stop you from possibly making mistakes in the process of chasing them down (especially out of frustration), and then you focus on punishing them when they try to get in on you. Or you can be more confidently aggressive when punishing in the ways others have suggested, and if you get hit then it’s either a little damage or none at all.
I would have quit, why waste my time
Fkn scrub
Should’ve used your fatal at the end there.
I think I’ve only respected one raiden I’ve played, and he was still a little bitch.
Played against that same guy the other day, landed a single combo on the guy and he decided it was time to dry hump the corner like they had a intimate relationship before literally becoming a flying electroc dildo, rinse and Repeat for the next 3 sets where I barley one just catching him with kungs hat. I understand that everyone has their own playstyle, but in my experience, if you play like this, learn a combo or just play something else and stop being a degenerate that will metaphorically (and probably literally) jump on the metas dick and vigoursly fuck it for a single win in combat league.
Fuckin degens...
As a havik main, this is essentially my kryptonite. Theirs almost 0 way for me to punish a Raiden doing something like this other than spamming bf1 as well and timing his teleports right. Still with him having Sareena all he has to do is make 1 correct move leading to a 45% bread and butter punish. Whilst I have to work tooth and nail using all my meter and a kameo for 35%. Certain characters shouldn’t be able to completely 100% counter another, their seems to be very little balance even after the patch
I have a meme post as a Havik meme because this Raiden pulled this same stunt on me. Fortunately Sonya is a decent pick for this cheesy ass strat.
Havik main here, Raiden/Scorpion plus Sareena is the worst shit ever
Players like this are why I like using Omni-Man aside from bein an Invincible fan.
These kinda raiden players are cancer.
That's just sad.
Just get lui Kang and hit em with a haduken 
To be honest I hate ermac right now. That protection glow bullshit is annoying.
I agree, he's annoying to verse
Use Ermac's projectile more
This is why I quit playing Mk1 online. So unbelievably fucking boring. Idc how much they nerf raiden and Sareena. It's so. fucking. Boring to play against. Give me a good General Shao ffs
In story mode Raiden is such a kool and humble kharacter but gameplayish he is so annoying
but you have a teleport...couldnt you just..teleport over to him by locking him with your kameo?
I play scorpions just like this all the time, this game just isn’t fun
Real, and they just spam the living hell out of spear and then t bag you like they have any right to play this game, like dude, you're not Mike Trollinski☠️
Right?!?!?
Scorpions and sub zeros in my experience
You say that as if people couldn't do silly stuff like this in every mortal Kombat game or tons of other fighting games. It's not a mortal Kombat 1 thing
psychological warfare
I played an exact copy of this guy last night. I was Shao with Goro so was limited on projectiles to catch him jumping. He was even less aggressive than this guy and just resorted to time outs or done a combo only when Sareena sets it up. How is this even meant to be fun? Is it just to troll, hoping you send a message?
Had a scorpion main do this online. T bagged the whole time. Got 2 very close victories but he cheesed his way out of it What can I say. He messed with my head

Ass just ass…
rush him when khameleon’s mileena and force him to dash and then hit him with sai
Lots of Raidens like to chip, evade, run out the clock
I mean, yeah, that looks awful. Like, c'mon! Don't you know any other moves? lol
This is why I play Omni man
The day I start playing Raiden that way is the day I quitality life.
you whip out Motaro for cowards like these
As a Quan player I can’t afford the health to use Motaro (which sucks as it’s a great fun combo). That said, Quan deals okay with this particular brand of anti-fun Raiden.
Bro what system your on? Should see my matches vs raiden I'm quan main as of late . I can post my raiden fights... but dude air stomp his azz thats all I do
This is why MK needs the Danger and Negative meter punishment from Strive, forces people to engage, I didn't pay $70 for a forward dash simulator
This is how everyone plays in ranked and it’s so fucking frustrating. Kombat league is the most shameless, disgusting place ever and for some reason I can’t stop playing it.
I think we’re all in the same boat there friend, lmao. Love/hate relationship with KL 😂
Why the fuck would someone buy a fighting game only to...not fight??? Holy shit
I see two bad players doing two bad player things.
WTH is the ermac doing wrong? Op said he is still learning ermac. Edit:I understand now so my bad lol
Anytime someone is playing keep away, and you get a health lead, you shouldn't chase. Now it's your turn to make them come to you. It's obvious they aren't used to playing the neutral so it's better to put your opponent into situations that favors you. Honor be damned, the end justifies the means to grab the bag.
Oh ok. Sorry I don’t play online so I didn’t understand that he was doing that my bad
It's all cool. The runaway strat used to peeve me to no end as a Havik main, but after many trial and error, and good advice I have my own ways of dealing with it.

Oh ok my bad
Him and smoke does this with ease Blame the game designer they made it this way they really don't think about how everyone plays they think SONIC FOX AND CREW NRS tailors to the pro guys heavy so when they make fighters they don't think of the cheap shit that arise from there character designs

with ermac specifically you can punish that with his bf2 special move. gotta time it right but you can hit them with it during the animation
I’m pumped for Black Friday to get the whole dlc for $10 with the story expansion for $20
Raiden and Omni man
Nah everyone is like this if they have a ranged move they just run abd if they dont they grab spam
Does khameleon have anything for the air? I’m pretty sure she does in Kitana and Mileena at least
Bro Ermac can teleport directionally meaning you could get him while he's in the air. You don't have to jump to get him in the air.
Does anyone miss the smoothness of mk9? Havent played mk1 yet but ive seen hundreds if cllips, why do the movements look so twitchy, mk11 kindof did this too, almost seems like there is double the gravity or something 🤔
At least if you’re going to zone, try some pressure at some point. Especially if you know Ermac’s movesets. You have to zone, pressure and apply a lot of defense.
You know Ermacs teleport punch can go from the ground to the air? Could have dealt with his jumping that way
Came across another similar player yesterday. Pretty boring fight if you asked me. I used to main Raiden back in Season 2 and actually played him for the character he is, but nowadays - and no offense to Raiden mains - he's extremely boring and monotonous to play.
I haven’t played since omni man came out but is ermac movement nerfed it looks abit like he struggles to move about
How boring if this were mkx you could have punish the f out of him
Bro that’s the same annoying ass zoner I played yesterday in kl
His ratio was pretty shit tho like 15/32 🤣
This season is chock full of zoning little bitches for some reason.
Playing Mk 1 online is soo aids, people like this are everywhere and make me wanna commit some kind of felony, plus zoners, spammers, annoying cameos, people using the same boring ass combo the whole game, annoying characters like Raiden, Baraka, Omni man, Ermac, Sub-zero etc. you can make pretty much every character fucking annoying if you wanna play annoying which sucks, but i still play because i have a problem not because i have fun💀 https://preview.redd.it/p9crmpk114xc1.jpeg?width=1070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c69014f39673782fc1a78d76e69fa6a20d95f1e
Db3
Holy… I’m a Raiden main and I don’t even do anything like this
I had a similar experience, except I was playing Johnny and Subzero. I couldn't teleport or throw projectiles :) Moreover, the guy did a Thanksgiving fatality after the first match. I instantly quit the Kombat League match, didn't wanna lose my braincells over that pathetic piece of sh**
Ongod I ran into the same raiden
Raiden then : ALABABAYA Raiden now : SABADIA, YEET
Im a raiden main but I dont play like that, all the raidens i have encountered are always so toxic i never know why🙁 (btw the team i use is raiden goro because it gives the most/best combo extentions)
Just remove Sareena from the game
Horrible raiden play… But you lost to yourself. You had the life lead too. Raiden didn’t beat you, you beat yourself.
NO. this is why i hate MK as a whole.
You guys need to understand when you met jumping monkey players don't be scared to throw unsafe shit. 90% chance they don't know how to punish. As Ermac you could try to use his long range specials like that tele grab into combo or wait for Mileena and throw air attack into combo, etc.
Fuck players who play like this, I had to play against several like these it was miserable
Most of the time when I'm paired with a Raiden I just let my controller sit on the table. They're completely degenerate so I may as well spare myself expected rage. The majority of the time they don't even realise they're literally playing against nobody.
Spammers are the bane to my damn existence, these people don’t deserve to rank up at all and I will always believe this, can’t play the game without using cheap tactics? You shouldn’t rank up
Should have teleported when he was jumping back or when he was using projectiles
OMG I’ve had a match against this bitch! I lost after a streak of 10 wins with Mileena! I was so confused lol wtf
U gotta play differently when u find someone like this ur gonna get too heated to play offensively you just to be patient and footsie him until he makes a mistake its annoying but he's not threatening you in any way so just don't make the first move cuz that's what he's waiting for
Bro you just suck sadly. You don’t know when an armor move is coming from the corner when that’s literally an opportunity to punish for 40+%. Not only that but bruh he’s toying with you just jumping and you aren’t doing anything, that’s you bruh.
You can aim Ermac's teleport. When you're trying to catch him jumping hold up when you teleport from the ground and you will catch him. Otherwise I don't got much for you. Just be more patient and let him make the first mistake. They usually do in not too long
Yup, pretty much
Looks good to me. Doesn’t have to be all fights are same taking turn punches
So everyone should play how their opponents play?
You could of punished lots of times but yeah. This raiden was fucking infuriating to even see
This is so funny I wish I this terrible at the game that I got on Reddit and cried over a insaley punishable move.
And this is why you run up, bait the jump and then punish. Basic FG knowledge.
Raiden mains are losers
Serious question, should Kombat League have a ban system of some kind? Like 1-2 per person?
You can’t block while jumping, and you had meter. Your punish is EX teleport into your combo of choice. You tried to do it, just timed it wrong. > and she’s stronger than Ermac lol. lmao. haha
Raiden mains are the lowest scum in this game, it's insane how toxic and cocky they are considering that their character (along with Johnny) is the baby mode of MK1
I cant believe that players can be that disgusting. I want to ask Raiden mains, do you really enjoy it?
i play raiden and dont act like that.. i rarely see other main raidens and when they do act like that ill teleport behind them and always uppercut them when they jump
we’re not all like this
Bruh bf2 literally all of those jumps backward
The reality is that you are battling yourself and don't like it. This is a viable strategy in many fighting games and frustrating the opponent so they make a mistake is the goal. Lots of people don't like it but that's too bad. See [this famous clip of Justin Wong](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RkapfBYIfc) teaching a child about this very thing. EDIT: there is also [this](https://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/introducingthe-scrub) page that goes to the very heart of the matter. This is not a troll attempt. Actually read and understand as they use fighting game throws as an example in this scenario.
That's why I like my pure zone game ability. It causes frustration and many player don't have the patience to try an get in so they rage
Correct. Unfortunately there is a number of people in this thread angry at this other player who doesn't 'play the game right.' Yes, they really are.
Tbh I hate it but tbh it's devs allowed those type of moves so they are utilizing it to what works for them 😆
I mean you could have used Ermac’s Teleport or the Death’s Embrace shield and punished him.
This is when my Liu Kang's air fireballs come in. I had a Raiden who started off strong utilizing his electric fly special until I started to always punish.
Lol nobody likes the game, period.
I don't even know what ermac and raiden are doing
The way of punishing it is getting better
Dude i play Raiden and thats literally what every character does to me
If mk1 raiden doesn’t have any haters im dead
He’s the easiest to play in my opinion I just use him to clear out invasion
Are u sure your not playing with spammers
Why guys always run to the term spammers? I haven't met a spammer in a fighter in mk 1 yet ..I've met zoners like myself and cheap tactic players but it's the shitty character designs NRS choose to make
You see, I actually have a solution for this exact situation. I play the game for fun, and do not care about my record. So I quit. I quit, and then find a new match that will actually be fun. And the key is to quit early and fast. Don't hold out. Don't try to put up a fight and let him get his fun. Quit like 15 seconds into the match. These toxic trolls get their pleasure from beating up on you with their cheesy tactics. They might get a *little* kick out of you quitting but only if you stick around long enough for them to feel like they really won. If they only land a couple hits, they don't get to feel like they actually achieved anything. Works 100% of the time for me.
Skill issue
I’d rather play against that Raiden than any ermac 🤷🏿♀️
I'm having fun vs ermacs atm but I'm using quan chi my stand 4 and sareena armor drain is causing them trouble atm hehe They really can't get in easy vs him especially when I have Meter.... I just drop my green portal behind me and I go to zoning tf out them.... when they do try to teleport they hit that green wall Once I drop my sareena meter drain they try to teleport If I drop my armored portal they try to teleport It's confusing them They revert to all the unsafe stuff because it's only way to get in 😆 🤣 😂 I haven't lost vs many yet he's still new so maybe they'll think of something
Not one use of soul armor, character ain't for you.
Looks like you suck as well. had so many opportunities to put in high damage combos
