Raiden/Moveset

Raiden is a generally well-rounded character with pretty much all of the basic tools needed to handle himself in a fight including a full-screen projectile, a few Dragon Punch-esque attacks that are very reliable as defensive tools, and a few additional attacks that allow for some rushdown. Like Zagan, Raiden is a very straightforward character to pick up and is very beginner-friendly, though he lacks some of that dangerous potential the Gravebringer because of that well-roundedness in his moveset.
As a fighter, Raiden is best described as a "jack-of-all-trades", having no blatant weaknesses in his moveset, but no outstanding strengths either. This means that Raiden will likely be overwhelmed by opponents that can outdo him in one regard over another, forcing him to be smart about his fighting lest he find himself down on the ground. However, proper application and usage of the debuff inflicted with his Style Action in tandem with the rest of his tools can allow him opportunities to strike down the competition like a lightning bolt.

Shogekiha - [delayable] 
*Raiden's Style Action, where he fires off a quick burst of lightning with a powerful strike, leaving behind a passive debuff on hit. This debuff allows many of his other moves to deal a wide range of effects - such as additional damage or longer blockstun - on hit.

Reppakaru - [delayable] + 
* An EX Move where Raiden sets off a quick burst of electricity while drawing his sword in an outward slash, which then leads into a second strike that can be delayed for additional damage and knockback. If fully charged, it then becomes unblockable.
Inazuma - + 
*Raiden performs a lightning-quick series of slashes as he dashes past his opponent.

Sengyakuten - + 
* Raiden quickly assumes a defensive stance. If ever he is hit while assuming said stance, he swiftly draws his blade and performs a quick counterattack.
Raiuō - + 
*A Decisive Action where Raiden rapidly leaps from one end of the screen to another in a diagonal pattern, leaving behind slashes of electricity all the while.

*A Decisive Action where Raiden fires off a powerful beam of electricity from the palm of his hand, dealing massive damage.
Denryu no Retsuzan - + 
*Raiden's Decisive Climax, where he starts by quickly drawing his blade for a lightning-fast strike. Should it connect, he follows it up with a second sword strike coated electricity, dealing a massive amount of damage.
Raitei no Shindan - + 
*Raiden's Shutdown finisher, where he assumes a defensive stance. Should the opponent attempt to strike, he retaliates by rushing towards them repeatedly, filling the immediate area with slashes of electricity at gradually blinding speeds. As he sheaths his blade, the opponent suddenly feels the death of a thousand cuts as they are viciously torn asunder by the speed and force of raw lightning.
