    Raphael General Discussion / Q&A

    Now that is community support! She just seems to have so many decent range combos that lock me up in stun. It is a match I need to fight more to get use to. And what on earth do you people do about her unblockable? Maybe I was just frustrated but I could never punish her in time, or escape, or...

    Raphael General Discussion / Q&A

    Someone say something mean and insulting about Ivy right now. I just got mauled by the same A rank one 3 times online! >> . Also any useful information would help. I could post the video but I mean it is pretty brutal and small children shouldn't be in the room for that >>. Overall I did ok...

    Raphael Video Discussion

    After reviewing I see you are right. Though I would argue that the bulk of them were against the Tira player only once against the Zwei. But I can see exactly what you are saying about 66B. Something I will see if I can incorporate into my own game.

    I am surprised he almost never uses 236B. Like maybe once? Wow. Now understand this is coming from the worst Raphael player of all time (I checked) but I love that move for punishing. I wonder why he keeps it out of most of his style.

    Why do we play Raph?

    While I am not 100% about this statement but wouldn't rapier combat in terms of dueling be if nothing else perfected or refined by Capo Ferro? Or am I thinking of the wrong period of time? I haven't slept in a day or so, my brain is kinda mush.

    Why do we play Raph?

    Anyone else feel like that Raph picked you and not the other way around?

    I still think his CE should have been a step killing laser cannon. I think it goes with the overall theme of the character. That theme being "SCREW STEP LASER BEAMS!"

    Trying to find a good way to consistently kill step is difficult for me. I tend to try to out step them at range and get into my prep or poke games. Though I would mention I am no Raph expert by far. I am improving though!

    Raphael Video Discussion

    I learned a lot from watching you Fox. Just wanted to say you represented in an awesome way. Keep it up! Off topic though what did you guys think of Fate's Raph play? It seemed very aggressive and a lot of whiffs. Though I will say he did very well. Sucks that he got screwed out of a match...

    Nice games WuHT. And sorry about not getting videos in the groups myself. Life gave me a few unfortunate events that required my attention the past month or two. Since your Raph makes mine look like a monkey is playing it (which is true of course) id like to ask you a couple of questions...

    Raphael General Discussion / Q&A

    When people turtle a great deal I just try to get that little sliver of a life lead and then force them to come in. Seems to be working ok so far and I tend to get a lot of 236B's from there impatience. But I can't quite tell yet if I am just doing well vs low knowledge players or if it is a...

    Raphael : Patch Changes and Discussion

    I'm not sure how many of you people watch youtube fighting game videos or if you guys have heard of Maximilian's the online warrior series but this video is worth a watch. You can skip to about half way through the video and he starts talking about how the next marvel game won't be out for...
