I think it's hard to test it now that most ppl have v1.1  The only thing we can do is to get someone to test it in v1.0 (France still has 1.0) in training mode with the exact same timer setting, and get someone else to test it in v1.1.

More and more reports are still saying the DK are the same including the Professor (mmcafe) person recent report over in Japan.  I wish my AI friends were right but I'm pretty sure they're not.

Watching the latest set of KCE (around 398ish), I am convinced entirely that Raiden is best played with just the D button held.  You lose his awesome crossup but you still can cancel off of his d.B, s.B into SDM; d.B, d.A into DM; d.B, d.A into hcf+K; or d.B, s.B, Dropkick into Ex Tackle x2 and so forth.  You still can do his GCDK shenanigans so you only really lose his crossup D minimizing his losses.

By holding D you also lose his overhead, which was used to great effect in some of the videos. s.D -> HD -> cr. C -> shoulder tackle shenanigans -> so much death.

What most struck me about the recent videos is that Raiden is, even if they were to nerf his dropkicks, is an incredibly solid character. Great normals, ridiculous damage output, excellent defense, etc. Most people have just been playing him a gimmick character, but he's even more dangerous as an all-around character.

On one of the last vids I saw a 95% combo and the guy only charge the DKs for only 10-11 seconds. That's just plain stupid.

I'm confident now, with the Professor's personal reports among others, that the dropkicks have not changed.  They did not get nerfed.

I dunno which one you're referring to as I watched all of them, but I'm sure it was a lvl3 12 sec drop.  Was it a double Ex Tackle?

You know, we all could post information ourselves instead of letting kk123 and nilcam do 90% of the work.

You do realize that neither does kk123, doesn't stop him from posting.  He makes an effort to search BBS, I want to say over 50% of the combos I post are from BBS that I can't read either and I go thru translate.google.com, then go to my Mook that I can't read, match the words that didn't get translated correctly, then post.  You can learn a lot from the videos as well.  It's all about making an effort to help the community. =)

[Edit] I keep getting mails asking if Raiden's dropkick takes longer to charge in KOFXIIIVer1.1-- quick answer is no, it's still real-time 12s for Lv3 and 16s for Lv4.

Looks really good. Two small criticisms:

Under pros, you list:
- Top Tier
- When mastered he can OCV a whole team on his own

I think a list of pros should explain why a character is top tier, rather than simply state that he is on top. So I don't think that's really necessary. Also, saying a character can "OCV" "on his own" is a bit redundant.

And one question, which doesn't specifically relate to the Raiden page:

Is it alright to be using scans from the mook? I just want to check that whoever owns DC.com isn't worried about receiving a C&D from some Japanese lawyers.

The usage of these images in the wiki should be covered by fair usage since we are nit just displaying scanned pages, the audience is different than the targeted audience and the information provided is factual. If we get a C&D, we'll remove the scanned bits.

Sorry, I was having a little too much fun writing up his page, removed
