For me it's obvious that Raiden, as the title says, is OUT of CONTROL. SNKPlaymore didn't get a good job with some characters. In general, the game looks fairly balanced, but some characters are out of control with their combos. Is Raiden case, because he's totally overpowered, as DDTC tutorial combo video shows. Is not only the fact he is aviable to do 100% of damage with no HD, is the fact that he's combos are terribly easy to do. Mai's case is just the opposite, she has very poor damage and her corner juggles are very hard to connect and she has very serious problems with followup combos (in corner). I'm very disappointed with this and I hope, when console version comes out, people will see it and will pressure Atlus and SNKP to they patch the game to rebalance it.
