"Raiden
I know a lot of your might be surprised that I'm going to pick on the beloved Thunder God. I think that due to Raiden's special moves, combined with his Nan Chuan fighting style, he can be a very cheap character. How, you ask? All you have to do is keep teleporting. The opponent will keep jumping or running at you from the opposite direction, and you can just teleport behind him and give him a good pounding with the [Forward + X buttons] for PS2. I do not own MK:A for XBOX, so I would not have a clue what that move is for it. But keep doing that, and you will be the king of cheap. Your opponent won't know what to do, and you will just keep pounding him/her. Get them up against a wall, keep pounding them, and victory is assured." -Thread Starter

First, I think Raiden needs to be messed with sometimes..

I will admit that I can be cheap with Raiden.
Using Raiden, push your enemy far away from you, then throw a lightning bolt at them. Most of the time, he/she will try to junp toward you and the lightning bolt knocks them back down.

I've found that Rain can be a cheap piece of crap sometimes.

One can easily jump over Blaze's Steam Roller attack if one is far enough away from him. It's the fact that he does it OVER and OVER and OVER...that is irritating.


I personally, even with Raiden, like to give my opponents a fighting chance.

Because one-sided fights are no fun.
