You can get much more off SE B than just 1B!!! If you have enough meter, do 3B Prep BB BE after SE B for good damage. If not, just do 3B Prep BBB and quickly do a 66A+B after the crumple stun on Prep BBB. After a 3A wall splat, the most damaging combo is A+BA followed by a 66A+B.
Yeah. That's what I started doing after some experimentation. Trying to make it out reflex more often. A habit I need to break is using SE K when they are in the middle of an attack in TC'ed because I'm throwing away damage potential when I do that. I just need to be more conscientious with its use. I still need my initiative down after a wall splat because I freeze-up sometimes after splat.
After 1K stun, do A+BA for more damage.
Thanks! I'll keep it in mind.
Very good. You are right. However, don't forget that Raph's horizontals have their purposes. 22A gives you a juicy +10 on counter and 2A with +8 on hit is one of the best moves in the game. Use them!!
22A does allow me preparation. It's just hard for me to figure out when to use it. It gets punished too quickly for me to find a use for it that's viable. Same with 66A+B cancel(notation for cancels?). I do use 2A when the time is right, but I don't really know what I can follow it up with aside from 6BB~AB~BB~SE K.
EDIT: I have another question. Can anyone tell what I can do after the 22B stun? Aside from Critical Edge. I don't really like CE with Raphael personally because his BE's are just so useful for me.
The reason I use ~AB is mainly for mind games and to test my opponent. Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to build meter quickly...
