Great job Ulturas
Thanks man but Check did all the work though! I'm sure he spent a few hours coming up with that 50% combo, took me a few hours to come up with those 40% Meterless ones so I know it takes him a great deal of time to come up with the amazing stuff he does.

great combos in all the post but i think those combos who used the boost doesnt count really cause this boost you cant do in a real match and do the combo after against a human player. its nice for exhibition but no practical that other ones in the post

Completely agree, damage boost may give you an extra 3-4% on the combo but it's completely useless in an online match because you can't block if you use Rains damage boost. That's the trade off though I guess.

I disagree that it's completely useless, especially in an online match, but in most cases, yeah... not too great. Try doing it on Quan Chi, though, and see what he can do on wake-up to stop you... nothing; he'll have to either take boosted chip damage from blocking or eat a combo. Same may go for some other wake-up situations... Jax? ...meterless Shang Tsung?

Also, keep in mind that Rain has armor on several of his EX moves; EX Super Kick particularly would be nice to hit with.

Exactly where do you position your opponent with waterbubble to follow up with 4,3 Superkick? Keeps whiffing
As high up as possible and slightly in front of you, almost directly above your head (Rain steps back a little after his animation is done). You have to connect the 4,3 fairly high.

j.p 12f4 12f4 43 water bubble 43 lightning superkick uppercut - 41%
i cant connect the second 43 with lighting cause the bubble leaves the opponent too far to connect.

in general i dont understand how works the bubble, in some cases ups the rival and in some cases not. it is a rule for this?

in this combo: 4 3 bubble 4 3 superkick 4 3 lighting 4 anti air hit i cant connect the 4 3 with the super kick, this always wiff. if i try only 4 3 xx super kick, the super kick dont count as combo and if the rival is juggle i cant connect. any secrets?

It'd be very situational that's for sure I don't think I would ever use it online purely because I (not other players) would get punished for doing so (lag in MK9 being Australian is pretty unbearable lol I'm lucky to get one good match a night).

You can move the bubble with the stick/d-pad. >_<

I got another one for you guys 45% meterless this time, just a take on premonitionists combo I haven't done a video on it because it's not my combo but I've added 1% more to his combo.

jump in 1 or 2, 43 xx df3, place bubble slightly in front and as high as it will go, small pause, 43 xx db4, small pause, 43 xx db2, dash, 4 xx db3

Asshole by nature
54% with X ray

JP, 4,3~waterball 4,3~superkick, 4,3~lightning dash 1~xray, geyser kick....

does 53% if after the roundhouse kick you do 4~xray~geyser kick
 
Its crazy how the lot of you've found so many great bnb's already.... I know from my stand point, they've helped and inspired me to try different things. Much appreciated to everyone that has posted combos and whatnot tonight.

Someone improve upon that uppercut in the corner concept for me.

I know it's got a ton of potential.
You may be able to add one more 12f4 or b21+2 onto it that's about the only thing I can think of or even just throwing in the jump punch at the start for good measure. That's just a theory though you may not be able to get the super kick is what I'm thinking :/.

62% Midscreen Xray just added more to that 49% Combo, the inputs are in the description. I might also add that if you don't time the 43 after the super kick it will whiff the Xray so this one's kinda for show pretty much.
