General/Other - Raiden "WHO'S NEXT?" RAIDEN Revealed for Mortal Kombat X at Evolution 2014!

[Atriox]

That's essentially what I do. I specialize in one or two characters but I like to have backups and mess with other characters for fun. Even though I played a ton with Smoke, Cyrax and Kitana, I still consider myself an Ermac player.

With the variations I doubt I'll have time to master multiple characters.

Very true, the variations are gonna make things very interesting. Now it's not "He mains Character X and has Character Y as a secondary.". Now it's gonna be "He mains Character X's variation 1 and has Character X's variation 2 or 3 as his secondary.".

Yoooo!!! I don't know about anyone else, but that dialog fucking awesome!

Kotal Kahn: You have no chance, Thunder God.
Raiden: Thunder blocks out the sun.
Kotal Kahn: Temporarily.


I can't believe I'm just now seeing this for the first time. I got a lot of catching up to do.

Edit: It's always nice to hear Phil LaMarr. Great voice actor.

Is it just me or does Displacer Raiden seem like he will be insane? The mobility, the mind games. That delayed teleport....yeesh.

It does look pretty mind fuck-y. I think I'll enjoy Storm Lord a bit more with those lightning traps.

I'm still a little unclear about his move set at the moment. Do all of his variations get traps, only in Thunder God and Displacer they are EX without the benefit of chain lightning?

And the teleport... Is it universal? I know Displacer is able to use it with more mobility but do the other variations still get the plain old MK1 teleport? Ed Boon, if you can hear me I need you now. Text me.

MKX looks like the only Fighting game i've seen so far (based solely on speculation) where Balance may not be an issue. MU won't be so lop sided, and Fundamentals will play a huge factor in this game. Every game has a eandom factor to it, but i think collectively MKX looks to be very promising and Can't wait to grind it out with all the EC players in Jersey and NYC as well as online (hopefully) to Get as good as possible in this game and have fun.

Yes zyphox, i would like to train with you too =D

I'm not feeling all the Kotal love. He looks... ok. Interesting design, nice voice acting, but I don't see him as a mega badass. He talked smack to Raiden? All the characters talk smack to each other. Hell, Kung Lao talked smack to Shao Kahn. Far more importantly, I don't see much about his move set that looks intimidating. Yes, the sword is big. Yes, the command grabs look cool. But his normals don't look amazing, he doesn't have a lot of movement options, the sword looks slow as hell, he's got a huge hitbox, and it doesn't seem like he controls the screen very well. He seems like a cross between Grundy and Lobo: some nice buffs and really good damage, but he depends on getting his game rolling for them to work.

They need to redesign his damn head gear. That commoners field rice hat has always been stupid. Looks like a crash cymbal on his head.

 

[Zoidberg747]

Not if they stay on screen permanently until the opponent gets hit.

Fair point

 

[Dirtylova]

Guise,don't forget dat back dash doe,it looks pretty good. Also , someone mentioned his walk speed being to slow based on a gif showing him playing a little footsie game before using a special... Let me tell you, whoever said that. People would give up a armpit and a elbow to have that walk speed in injustice. Just sayin

 

[sinosleep]

Displacer Raiden's swag levels are beyond comprehension.

 

[SaltShaker]

I don't know how well that slow motion orb trap set up will work against characters who can teleport behind you or characters that can pull you to them.

 

[DOOMSDAY-15RUS-]

Juste one word " Displacer "

 

[Deftonesrc]

I balanced it by still complimenting Raiden. Doesn't count. It's like how it's ok to call your girlfriend a bitch as long as you tell her she has great boobs afterwards.

hahahahahaha. . . . omg. . . . wow. . . . Sir, you have some serious respect problems lol

 

[just_2swift]

displacer is going to be his best and most used. it specializes in what he is known for. did u guys see that meter burn superman for displacer? sick as fuq. i cant wait for smokes reveal he is going to be the illest. but raiden is going to get the most hate bet on it

hahahahahaha. . . . omg. . . . wow. . . . Sir, you have some serious respect problems lol

Just so we're clear, I'm 100% joking. I'm still going to assume you knew that but I'm no chauvinist. Still, I have no problem being politically incorrect and joking about such things.

* By the way, nice name. Deftones got me into good music about 16 years ago and as a drummer, Abe Cunningham is one of my biggest influences.

I figured as much =)

And to be fair, im nearly 100% not PC; so I dont take offense at all.

Abe is an awesome drummer. The deftones are one of the few bands I liked in HS that still produce good music (imo). So yeah, been a fan since 1992 ish. Maybe earlier. . . who knows!

Cheers!
