Day by day it seems NetherRealm Studios continues to feed the need bit by bit. They have been releasing character variation description renders just about every day now with Raiden's variations being the latest. Each variation is basically a whole different character from the other two variations, with the exception of their special moves i.e. Raiden's Torpedo move often mistaken for a "Superman".

I personally found it interesting and awesome that the name of Raiden's third variation has now changed. With this being said, his variations initially were "Thunder God", "Displacer" and "Storm Lord". Realistically, perhaps the names "Thunder God" and "Storm Lord" were too close to being identical, so the new name for "Storm Lord" looks to be "Master of STORMS". You can see why this little detail would excite me. *smiles*

Anyway, here are the descriptions/renders!

I didn't even see the little intricate details on his cloth til now, it looks really nice. Also Master of Storms sounds much better.

This is all pretty awesome and stuff, but I can't be the only one wondering WHERE the FUCK Kotal's variation descriptions are.

Don't get me wrong, Raiden sounds like he's going to be a potential bad ass in MKX, but I want this type of treatment for Kotal. -_-

Hmm, I liked Stormlord since it was smaller (faster to say) but Master of Storms is not bad also.

I would have liked him to have one called "Thunder & Lightning" but whatever lol.

Stormlord rolled off the tongue better. Plus it sounds like the only teleporting the "Master of Storms" is going to do is right on over to the Rennaisance Festival.

PS I cannot wait for Kotal Khan's and Ferra/Torr's variation breakdowns!

I agree with both of you actually. However, that is why I was flattered. Not that it was named after me or anything, but I'm happy off of the 0.01% chance that it was. :D lol

EDIT: I also believe that variation will end up just being called "the Master variation" by the community... but who knows.

Man.... Raiden seems legit... I wonder if his Master of Storms version is kinda like ice clones but with lightning....

Anyone who played this know if he needs to connect the orbs to damage or if they are based on colision like an ice clone?

Should have called it "PL Raiden" instead of "Displacer Raiden". Then you can put PL's face on him so people know shit's about to go down.
