Strengths

Weaknesses

Amazing Beginner character: Rai is without a doubt, the best character to learn for new players (along with Arina). Thanks to his movelist and take on the "shoto" archetype, it's not very hard to know his moves even if you play alot of the genre. Great Normals: Combined with j.2D that he can juggle off of and having a lot of normals that cause a wall slam, His normals are useful in a lot of situations, especially 2C. Yes, Free Unblockable!: Due to some random bug, Air ES Inazuma Cannon is unblockable when placed on top of the opponent. Even better, with super mode activated the reward is EVEN better thanks to the damage increase. 2 DokiDoki: Combined with Gourai Tempest and a 0F DokiDoki (Chouriki Gourai Dengeki Ken), This is pretty much self-explanatory. j.236A/B: This move is absolutely absurd. Rai's primary pressure tool, due to quick startup, good combo potential and it being plus on block. 0 Bad Matchups: Rai Doesn't have any single bad MU, having an even MU with Slash. This gives him the best matchup spread in the game.

Bad Recovery on Moves: Rai has huge recovery in many attacks what makes him very punishable. Often at times you can be punished for landing a move you used on accident. Projectiles: Rai's main projectiles is really weak compared to almost any other projectile in the game Gourai Tempest: Despite having two DokiDoki attacks, Gourai Tempest has very limited applications, even as an anti air You will lose friends: If you use Rai in online matches people will mostly rage quit due to how daunting it is to deal with his toolkit.
