What If Raiden Was in Smash? (Moveset Ideas: 113)

[@BrawlFan1]

Because I know a lot of people are gonna bring this up. No, I don't think Jetstream Sam would work as a good Echo Fighter to Raiden. Jack's a Ninja, Sam's a Samurai. They have the same kind of sword, but that's the only similarity they share, they have drastically different fighting styles. Sam's better off getting his own moveset if enough people request for him.

@@teamspirit8727 you know, an unironically cool gimmick could be to give super armor when the Senator isnt moving and then performs powerful counter moves once the armor is triggered. This can add immense mind gaming potential, as the Senator dropping a combo can be a guise to have you hit him only to have him put you in a new string.

I really like the move set you came up with for Raiden. However, I was sort of hoping that the Unique Weapons would be incorporated I some way, but I don't believe he technically 'canonically' uses them so it's not a huge deal. Though one thing that feels like a really missed opportunity is not using the Desperado design you unlock after beating Sundowner, probably in place of the 'red armor', or the inferno armor since all 3 mentioned designs are (technically) red

[@e4ehco21]

Yeah where are the custom weapons

Personally, I'd imagine Raiden using the weapons from the three Winds for his side, up, and down specials. Using Dystpoia to grapple towards foes, the pole-arm to do a sweeping spin attack, and Bloodlust to do a spinning attack in the air before slammimg down

[@WillithePhysticle531WP]

[@JJSSBU]

sadge Scarlet enjoyer wtf

[@merchantziro4285]

I really like this moveset, but I would have made his 3 other specials outside of his Neutral Special the unique weapons you can get from the 3 Winds of Destruction, those being Mistral, Monsoon, and Sundowner. For his side special he could use Sundowner's Bloodlust, a pair of large HF blades put together to be used as a giant pair of shears. With them Raiden performs a slow but powerful combo string like the original game. Also like the original game, Bloodlust's attacks have absolute priority and give Raiden super armor while swinging. It also deals some means damage to shields. However holding the button down allows Raiden to charge the move and upon release will perform an even more powerful version of attack while still having super armor with some additional damage resistance, as well as being able to easily rip through shields like paper. Basically making you nigh "f*cking invincible", but only when executing the attack part, you are still vulnerable during the charge up time and do suffer from some bad end lag after the attack. You can also perform this in the air for a powerful side spin attack while charging before rocketing towards the ground, just doing the regular version has the same results. Pretty risky off stage but otherwise a great move overall. Next his Up Special could use Monsoon's Dystopia, one of two magnetic Sais. This functions pretty much like a grappling hook with light offensive capabilities. Just pressing the button has Raiden throw the Sai forwards with a blue magnetic beam connected to his hand. It will automatically aim for a ledge or opponent in Raiden's line of sight. If it hits an opponent it only deals light flinching damage from a long range and just simply grapples the ledges like any other grapple. Holding down the button will let Raiden rush towards the connected target with a kick and will either grab the ledge or do a light kick to the opponent and put you into a mid air state as you are free to use any of your aerial attacks to continue the combo. However, you are unable to use the Up Special again until Raiden lands back on solid ground. The enemy is able to still move during the attack when connected to them and can easily shield the oncoming kick. However if you use Dystopia and don't use it again or take damage for a few seconds, you get a small purple electrical version that will stun an enemy for a few seconds if it connects. Finally is the Down Special, leaving Mistral's L'Etranger. A pole arm/whip combo made out of Dwarf Gekko arms with the ends holding blades. This functions similarly to the Bloodlust Side Special where it's effectively a different combo, with Raiden alternating between using it as a polearm and a whip automatically. Each individual hit is relatively weak and low damage, but the weapon's range is deceptively long and can dish out some serious pain with its combo game and is good for keeping multiple enemies in check. So in order to basically summarize the purpose of each special here. Side Special (Bloodlust): Slow but powerful combo that can also break an opponent's guard easier that can also be charged for a risky but powerful attack even mid Bloodlust combo and will absolutely shatter shields. Up Special (Dystopia): Standard grappling special that is also meant for closing the distance between him and his opponent, making it a dangerously effective tool against zoners, as well as being a weak semi-decent long range attack. Down Special (L'Etranger): Great for combos and being able to keep multiple foes in check if used right despite its low damage.

[@nightlypiano41]

I can already imagine Raiden's trailer. In the midst of the World Of Light, a small group of fighters are being overwhelmed quickly by the Master Hands. Snake, among these fighters, is currently fending off enemies whilst in a Codec call. Though we can't hear who's on the other end, Snake's satisfied smile tells the viewer that things will be fine. Another character, perhaps Marth or Fox, claims that they're outnumbered and outgunned. To this, Snake responds that they just need to buy some time for the reinforcement. As he says this, a familiar jet flies towards the chaos. Cut to a Master Hand, preparing to fire a massive beam at the fighters. But before it can, the all-too familiar music starts playing. *"RULES OF NATURE!"* The Master Hand is cleaved in two, much alike Metal Gear Ray. Raiden lands, already cleaving through the opponents. Snake looks him in the eye, and the two share a smirk. "You sure kept us waiting, Jack."

[@Springdude11]

Very interesting, personally I would make two changes to his final smash. The first would be having him laugh maniacally throughout the final smash and at the end of the attack, he shouts something like "don't be ashamed, it's only nature running it's course" to taunt the player, or if the attack ends the match he shouts "we're done here". The second thing I'd change is add a gimmick to his final smash where the higher the damage Raiden has taken the stronger his final smash, (going up to either 100 or 150% for the max damage bonus) allowing him to truly embrace the power he gets from pain.

The Primids (Brawls Subspace emissary) The most famous enemy for the subspace emissary could be a cool cahracter to see in smash as a big referance to brawls subspace emissary. Plus he was built with smash's mechanics in mind so it would be pretty easy to make a move set for him.

I think the counter would work well if instead of being like Sora's, any projectiles that get hit by the counter get sliced up and erased, even energy ones just so it's consistent.

[@LaserBread]

Raiden's final smash should involve the player pressing Attack to dish out hits. It would also matter what direction the blade swings. Geometrically, his attacks in rising use both hitboxes to check for collision and a 2D plane where Raiden swings to determine the direction (and the game uses the same plane to slice a 3D model in two). While he can't cut fighters, he could still mince projectiles, crates, some items, and specifically Villager's trees and Steve's blocks. also thought about maybe someone in the Bug Fables trio, or Gordon Freeman from Half-Life. Though Half-Life's gameplay as a classic FPS is relatively hard to translate to Smash, at the very least the Gravity Gun would be a fun item.

[@alejandroespinoza5680]

I would personally implement some of the attacks Raiden can use when equipped with the unlockable weapons from the various bosses on MGR. Like having the Mistral's pole arm as his down smash or Sundowner's High Frequency Scissors dual machetes as his forward smash for example. Other than that this is a refreshingly simple character design.

Crazy idea: what is BOYFRIEND from FNF was in smash: (note, this is work in progress) He will be below averge, have 2 jumps and no additional movement options. (His dodges will be same dodges of indie cross. I'll use it a lot in the moveset) The A attacks He will have 3 hit jab. First one hand, then the one who held his mic and then he will kick. For dash attack, he'll do a quick mic spin when he stop. His side tilt will bs the same mic attack he have in the indie cross when he battled the butcher gang. Up tilt will be swing his mic from left to right. Down tilt will be however, quick stomp. For his side smashes, he'll throw the microphone in same manner of when he battled cuphead in indie cross. Same for up smash. For down he'll spin as the mic surround him. For netrual ariel, it'll be like the down smash. And all the rest of the ariel will be sending one arrow projectile to the chosen direction. Each one in other color. Forward, red. Backward, purple. Upward, green. Downward, cyan.(I know most of the attacks are with mic. Soon the interesting part will come) The grabs Boyfriend will grab with his mic and will rap the foe onto tears. This make him able to reach ledges. For all throw beside down, he'll once again will summon his notes to throw them away. For down throw, he'll call for his girlfriend and her speakers to smash the foe, burying them. The B attacks Ok let's try ti get creative here. Now we will try to borrow some of his friends and some mods as well. For the netrual special, he'll use in pico's gun for a very similair effect like wolf's gun. But slightly stronger and slower, since it isn't laser but bullet. For his side special, he'll spit one arrow and will ride it into far distance before it stop and he must jump off of it. For his up special, it'll be throwing his mic up to mostly hold onto ledges. For his down special, he will increase his power and damage percent by becoming SUPER SAIYAN as we saw him doing it in sonic.exe mod in the song chaos. That boost will be temporary and when it's over his power will be normal. That super saiyan boost is slow to charge but very strong and will increase his movements greatly. Now, i saw his abillities maybe not fair because he mostly use in his mic and sometimes arrows, but he is a rapper, not a fighter. I had to try come up with some ideas from other mods and his friends. And remember, boyfriend loves to rap battle strangers, no matter how much it can annoy them. The final smash For this one, i'll call it "sonic vocal". Causing boyfriend shouting powerful and huge rainbow colored sonic wave that will push every poor foe away. If the foe have more damage percent, the further they'll go. The other stuff Boyfriend colors will first be his default, then colors of hid girlfriend, then of other characters from friday night funking: daddy dearest, skid and pump, pico, mommy must murder and tankman (don't ask me about senpai. He is jerk in my book) for stage intro, he'll appear in same mysterious red light we saw at indie cross. For taunts, the first one will be his iconic "peace" sign, the second can be smug face we can see at fnaf 1 mod as he also raise his mic, taunting others to sing with him, and lastly (spooky one) will be his eyes turns to red like chara's eyes and he will smile like her as he look at the screen. Before he shake his head and return to normal. This is also a refrence from indie cross when you decide to fight sans and not spare him. For victory animation, the first can be him doing the peace sign and his girlfriend next to him on the speakers. The second can be him rapping and moving in high speed, like most of fnf mods, and last one will be him disappearing in exact same manner of apperaing. And fun detail, when he lose, he won't clap. He'll look like his is blueballed. (But the balls won't appear because smash is game safe for everyone and balls can bs rude). And that is my crazy idea if boyfriend was in smash. What ya'll think? Feel free to say feedback!

[@rodrickgoldberg2324]

Considering Splatoon 3 is out now, here are two requests from that series. *DJ Octavio. *Octolings (I know people say they should be an echo fighter for Inklings. But considering all the weapons that Inklings don’t use for their smash moveset, The Octoling has plenty of room for originality.)

[@electricdanish912]

Wonderful moveset as always!! I loved Rising, memes and all, and was thrilled to see him included. And thank you for not including those creepy three legged orb things 😅 Since I already suggested Ghostrunner, a sword-slinging robot in the wake of 2B, I'll stick to one idea on this vid: in the vein of soldiers remade as weapons, how about Nathan "Rad" Spencer, from Bionic Commando? Aside from simply sharing his first name, I've always loved big, bulky robotic arms on humans, and he'd be hella mobile.

[@Spooki_Tano]

Well, given the sheer amount of memes that were taken from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance and Devil May Cry, there's a chance that it'll be: - Raiden (MGRR) - Any of the other MGRR characters - Nero (DMC) - Vergil (DMC) Regardless of who it is, this is gonna be pog. As for requests: 1. Pyro (Team Fortress 2) 2. Booker (Bioshock Infinite) 3. Sub Zero (Mortal Kombat) 4. Batman 5. Agent 47 (Hitman) 6. The Crow/Reaper (Death's Door) 7. Marisa (Touhou) 8. Tabuu (Super Smash Bros Brawl) 9. Frank West/Chuck Green/Nick Ramos (Dead Riding series) 10. Kratos (God of War. Whether it's the greek or norse version is up to you)

Something that’s really fit for raidens combo based game would be move canceling like how Terry uses it. It’d be really interesting considering how many of his normals are already chains, could allow for a lot of variations and mix ups

[@esmepipkin6087]

The only reason Raiden doesn't have a rocket punch is because it would make him *too* cool

[@FEELZ_SHARD]

I know you don’t normally take move suggestions but I don’t really want to keep this idea to myself. An idea I had for Classic Sonic to make him different from Modern Sonic was to have his down special make him jump on a monitor giving him one of the elemental shields from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The water shield would reflect smaller projectiles. The thunder shield gives him an extra jump and has a chance to bring items closer to him. And finally the fire shield would allow him to deal small bits of damage by running into the opponent his dash attack would also slightly deal more damage.

[@randocalzone8772]

Finally, we're getting a Super Macho Man moveset where he Releases the Bogus! Okay, it wasn't him but I'd use this opportunity to add a request for EVERY Punch-Out character. (Except Mike Tyson since he's a real celebrity)

[@goodhelmetjunior3399]

Even the Referee?

[@XradicalD]

Raiden was one of my picks for characters to be in smash, sadly he wasn't included. Now, I would change some ideas: - Side B to Sundowner's blade pincer, hold B to charge - Up B to use Mistral's L'Étranger similar to Byleth up B - Change the grab to Monsoon's Dystopia for range grabs similar to Samus. - The Down B I would add to the parry the ability to do continuous parries if the one before it connects (similar to how you can spam it in game, it can help to parry attacks that do multiple hits or from multiple directions. The cooldown gets longer if the parry fails after multiple connects). - The ninja run sounds a tad OP so maybe just do lower damage to raiden for small proyectiles, for bigger ones either parrying or blade mode could destroy/deflect them. Regardless this is an amazing video. Hopefully either we see Raiden in a future entry or see modders use this as a reference.

Hot take: the last character should've been Raiden. If Ultimate really is the end for Smash, what better way to close it out by having the last guest character be the successor to the first guest character to ever appear in Smash? And besides, it's a sin that we didn't get ANY MGR content in Ultimate besides Raiden's spirit, which doesn't even refer to him as being from Revengeance. Also I think you should've worked the Unique Weapons somewhere into this moveset. Also instead of the inferno suit, I'd give him the Desperado armor with the Murasama, and instead of Commando, I'd give him his MGS2 getup with the original HF Blade.

People have probably already said this but I think it'd be a cool detail if Raiden got in that whenever you play on his stage, the music is just instrumental for most of the match, but when someone's on their last stock/the time is running out, the lyrics kick in - similar to how the music works in the actual boss fights of the game

Hey, look. In case this isn't the premier of "What if GTA V was in Smash?" (Which I have a feeling it won't), I just have one thing to say. If the characters of GTA V (Franklin Clinton, Michael De Santa, and Trevor Phillips) were to come to smash, Smash will need a GTA V stage. But that's not all, if a user connects a laptop to the game, they can unlock more controls. For example, turning on and off the traffic, changing the smartness of the traffic (With "Smart" having the traffic trying to get through the stage to continue their drive, and "Speed" having the traffic just ram through the stage without stopping.), changing the type of traffic ("Casual" meaning normal driving cars, "Racing" meaning racing cars, and "Both" meaning both "casual" and "racing" cars), and changing the time of day ("day" "night" and "custom time"). But this gets better, as a fighter you can jump into cars that are stopped and still on stage (note: No person will be inside the car when you enter it when it's stopped) just by pressing the jump button while close to the car, and with the connected laptop, you can drive freely. Even better, drive away far from the stage (and also smash the button saying speed with your car) and you start a hot pursuit. With the driving controls similar to.... wait for it...... "Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered". You can use gadgets like the "EMP", "Spike Strip", "Jammer", and "Turbo", to slow down or stop the cops from catching you and to return to the stage with an award. But if the fighter's car has critical damage, and the police bash into the car with powerful force, the fighter gets "busted" and loses all their special attacks for 1 and a half minutes. Now that's what I like to call a crazy chaos stage!
