dude.... I want to give you a lot of respect seriously. I am a sf6 player. MK has always been my second game. I have always loved motral kombat casually. I typically play smoke. I hate him in this game. I don't know why but in mk1 I like raiden so much. I saw this video and I am very impressed with your knowledge. This has really helped me understand the character more. Everything you're saying makes sense and clicks. This is easily the best raiden video I have found. I learned so much. I'm going to watch this on repeat and learn everything I can from this. You're goated dude.

About 242 with sektor You can stagger it like summon rocket as usual that you wanted to use for combo But then stop at 243 go for f43 if blocked still your turn if hit go for combo with f34 of 34 And you can go for over head aswellnot going to be combo but its an option And can simply go for combo on block so keep opponent guessing Also you can use up r1 for rocket and after 242 forward throw Pushes back cuz sektor is not avalable then hit by rocket and go for combo with micro dadh f34(has huge damage scale tho)
