And finally Raiden, the thunder god who turned into a good guy. He is a tremendous offensive player is used right. The Teleport can get you around and out of trouble quickly, and is good for sneaking close to your opponent. The Body Launch can be done in the air, which is good for catching jumpers, or picking them off the ground by just touching their head. The Lightning is an average missile weapon, doing average damage. The Electric Grab is a charge move, which restricts your use of the HIGH PUNCH button and ties up your hands. Not very effective unless you are good at keeping it a suprise. Always do a combo after the Electric Grab shocks your opponent. This move does not work against the computer for some reason.
