Non canon
Buildings are also reinforced with steel, RAY's plasma beams vaporised and overpenetrated a considerable amount of building material (and again, cut it in half), a feat no lightsaber has to it's name. Unless you can show, say, a Jedi or Sith swinging a lightsaber and a whole building gets sliced in half with the materials that were directly hit being vaped
Because Armstrong punched the thing so damn hard. Did you play the whole Armstrong boss fight with your eyes closed? Sounds like a rad talent I'm sure but, even so
Deflecting machine gun fire with a sword with his physical speed alone, which he could do in MGS2
Hell, Grey Fox could do this, and he's the Tiger Moth to the Raptor that is Raiden
Moving faster than the eye can see isn't that big of a deal in fiction
Not hopscotching on missiles, which'd require an absurd amount of speed and precision, or slicing tens of times in the time it takes an explosion to expand 2 meters or so, or deflecting assault rifle fire?
Must have quite the talent for playing video games with your eyes closed eh
Point is one is anticipating things before they happen, the other one is reacting to it after it was fired
And again, he deflected machine gun fire with his sword as early as MGS2 before he became a cyborg, as did Grey Fox
Hell, Snake dodged a damned railgun shot, and beat the two cyborgs in honest to god unarmed combat, and physically subdued Vamp, who schooled MGS4 Raiden in melee
And good old dad who stopped a tank the size of a small apartment building from trying to crush him
So needing cybernetics to do cool shit? Not exactly
Hell, if you want an example of how cybernetics aren't needed to be massively superhuman, Jetstream Sam
They react to it before the trigger is pulled, not after it's fired Matrix style
5 minute wikipedia search says well into the supersonic range, some even hypersonic
When have Jedi deflected assault rifle fire like Raiden has?
Fine, Raiden throws a massive chunk of the battlefield at Kylo for shits and giggles
