godlike, main confirmed

 

[Shark Tank]

Traps

 

[xXstealthflameXx]

Raiden's great and all but tbh if anyone else would've been revealed it would've been 10x more hype.

 

[JHCRANE 14]

Those lighting traps were so sick!!!

@STORMS I love the fact that the photo you have of Raiden is him getting raped...hehe.

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

Has to be said, no pun intended: that was godlike, son.

 

[GAMETIME]

I'm calling it now,there is no way in hell raiden it's going to be low tier in this game. All three of his variations look really good and useful.

 

[gamesun]

Seriously this game is making every character look like it's a blast to play them.

 

[Iustinus]

Holy shit Raiden is sexy!!

New main. Changing avatar ASAP.

 

[Rathalos]

MK9 Raiden was bland as fuck.

MKX Raiden looks like a huge improvement.
He looks and feels like a god this time around.

 

[Mst]

Would have loved if when Raiden won he would just suddenly get tranced and the trailer would have ended kinda teasing Quan Chi or something like this.

Also the second version looks sick.

 

[EndofGameBoss]

I am so happy that one of my mains from MK9 made it to MKX. I have a feeling Baraka isn't going to make it, so it's full time Raiden. Displacer Raiden looks sick.

 

[Error]

Blows MK9 Raiden out of the water, all variations look sick, that lighting surrounding him, those specials, that fatality, THAT X-RAY.

 

[Sami]

lol MMH's orbs, Batgirl's flying uppercut.


On a serious note, he looks really fun to play. Teleport stance is the EXACT reason why MK has a block button though (I say this as a good thing).

Also, was that a dive kick that got stuffed at 1:18?!?!?

 

[CCVengeance]

Genuinely impressed with Raid3n. IGN has a breakdown up BTW.

I cringed in the xray.
His teleport variation looks fun as hell.

 

[EndofGameBoss]

Anyone else notice he supermans Khan and then teleports and throws him back? I'm so excited.

 

[gosoxtim]

dont forget we have comic con comming up

• Ed Boon, co-creator of the Mortal Kombat series, said on Giant Bomb’s E3 Day 3 wrap-up show (around the 31:00 mark) that new characters from the recently-announcedMortal Kombat X would be announced at Comic-Con, assuring the game would have some appearance at the convention.

 

[CCVengeance]

And I just noticed Kotal has Aquaman's VA.

 

[Eddy Wang]

Man, somebody had to do it

 

[OG Mannimal]

His fatality was cool

 

[Zoidberg747]

I feel like the trap variation is going to suck, they seemed like they took too long to set up.

Displacer looked gawd-like though

 

[Big Pampering]

I hope this raiden has faster normals, I want to main this character

 

[GamerBlake90]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

THE ALMIGHTY GOD OF THUNDER IS BACK IN MY ARSENAL!

THUNDER TAKE YOU!
