Congrats youngfox well played, and those 2A frames traps were so effective they had me laughing. For a couple of 66(B) s they were at a range were 236B might have hit, were you trying to draw a whiff/GI?
As Mr.Hai (or was it Fendante, you all look the same) said, you get some of Raph's best damage off of SEB the combo thread has all the damage differences but here are the specifics.
SEB:
3(B)~Prep BBB, A+BA gives the most meterless damage, but it is unreliable (and even more so on certain...
1K will only catch the left reliably.
I was more concerned with the notation for prep, I somtimes use ~ to mean input into prep out of habit, and there are a few variants that show up.

Speaking of notation, maybe an explanation could be added to the first post along with the shorthands to Prep and SE, since it seems we have decided on:
i. 3(B)~BB
ii. 3(B)~PrepBB
iii. 3(B)Prep~BB
I think the idea is that entering Prep carries a risk (it is hard to exit) and commits Raph to...
Landing 22B 3 times a round was too good now that I think about it (at least, too good given how Raph plays).
11K seems to work wonders, I've been scared of its frames, but the fact that is can catch step, and mixup for 33k(BE) and 66B seems worth the risk.
Doesn't work on X players, having...
Close range: A+BA
Mid range: 3A/2A.
Not close range: 11BB (The fact that this move is in a combo seems enough to warrant inclusion)
There are a few more, but most of them are equally unreliable and damage differs very little (save A+BA). 3A and 2A seem to be the most reliable though.
Mes thoughts on Raphael
___
The design in this game seems to matchup with previous entries:
Low damage, weak stepkill, unimpressive frames for his speed and damage.
Good range given his speed, good pokes, mobility, swagheadwear, evasions/reverse mixup, the ability to switch between spacing and...
On that note was there mention of voices/music as DLC? (Valiant Heart, If There Were Any Other Way and Beyond the Horizon for example seem oddly excluded).
If about 50% of the population does not know the sky is blue we are:
A) In big trouble.
B) In need of a new phrase to describe a well known fact.
C) Teaching that blue seen is due to refraction, and that the sky has no intrinsic color.
