Raphael video thread!

a couple of 22B combos is half life.

Anyways, to me, 33K:B is really a delayed B unlike VE B:B. However, 22B~VE B:B the middle B can actually be variable, as there is a larger window when you can enter the first B of VE B:B after 22B. So that little move is probably harder to muscle-memorize as opposed to relying on visual cues.
 
I find it rather tough. Right now my success rate with 8WR 2_8.B:B is fluctuating between 10% to 50% (I go by sets of 10).
 
my kilik knowledge is embarassing. I thoguht a lot of those moves were safe (becuase they were safe online) so i didn't even bother to attempt to punish now... bad habits hard to shed. The key one imo is blocking kiliks 1B.

--- one thing to note is how forward raph's hitbox for 236B is .. he basically runs into his opponent first before stretching out his blade.

Gj you two, on making something out of nothign for 4B+K lol
 
Lol, I just want to add that the 4B+K thing works on Voldo's FC 3[A+B], the unblockable dive. I'm not sure about the normal one.

It's difficult so you are better off ducking.

But if you want to make Voldo dive over your sword like a circus act, you can opt for 8B+K. Hahahaha.

Nice Kilik punish vid too.
 
Whatever the hell are you talking about? Punishing in between strings is ambiguous, but every else is perfectly sound. Good kilik my ass.
 
With permission from JAG (& hopefully, his brother.. >_< lol!) I'm posting DaGOTTh's recent casual matches using Raph.




..although I'm not really a specialist in Raph.. I did like the SEA & SEB shenanigans.. though I'm surprised that he didn't use 22_88 B series much.. =/ ..But pretty solid raph imho.. ^_^

most of them works only cause kilik performs those strings at melee...at tip raph would whiff...and if you think a moment there is really no reason to perform longrange unsafe moves at melee instead of using other tools.

Same thing about raph moves most of them at tip are a lot better.

for dagoth vid...it seems a very good overall player but his raph does not impress me...
I mean he play very well but using general knowledge and few of raph tricks.

That taki let him play straight also, forgive lot of unsafe moves and let him enter SEA....i mean taki is the antiraph .-. frame wise she can't let him prep so much, i usually almost don't use prep against her.
 
i dont get why people say taki is anti raph.....

She can tech crouch while sidestepping.

GG.


[/joke], here's what my problems have been. Raph pays here for not having actually fast options, and linearity stops any keep-out I can think. With her TC on everything or gdlk step, she dodges just one Raph move and she's in. The best I can do is 44K / 4G, and when this works when it shouldn't, pray to the vast pantheon of the Cosmos that I can get hits on her wakeup. Gods forbid she doesn't rush you down and chooses to use her own significant reach.

"Anti-Raph" to me is, if you are giving the opponent a match, it's like you throw out everything Raph is to do it. You're just a tall guy with strong kicks, and cookie cutter 20-30% juggle on step punish.
How is it for you, WARUI?


RE: vids from geejay: When your opponent is doing whatever he wants, and then on top of that JIs your stance unblockable, twice, I think you put down the controller. (I know that's not you.) Can I be fairer than that?
This vid says "Check to see if Taki opp will punish SEA. If not, abuse until dead. Create psychological barrier to stop CH attempts, then throw mids everywhere." ¯\O_0/¯
 
don't underestimate taki's AB's ability to kill any prep momentum you have. Obviously you'll rely more on spacing and poking than against the other characters, but her moves that have built in side step are pretty dangerous too because they TJ and TC during the animations
 
but you have a 60 dmg punish on one of takis best moves(BA) as raph....and stroong anti PO/hover options
 
tournament from brazil i think nationals....
!
well that soph really sucks .___. and does not take advantage of the matchup (soph can single handedly destroy raph frame wise and for her superTC)


still glad to see that recently raph is being used XD
 
umm watched ivy's match, he step on raph strong side 90% .-. nice match btw, cannot help with her cause i need help too....is my worse matchup atm

Or well i could say 4K her too death but it seems your opponent didn't try to take advantage on your weak side so cannot help but i liked how u used 236B
