Rain general discussion

I'm a bad bitch, you can't kill me
Kombat League is kinda cool with the rewards for ranking up, but I definitely feel like it puts alot of uneeded stress on people who feel obligated to collect everything or just people who want new stuff for their main.

Like when you play Street Fighter or Tekken, you aren‘t really playing it for rewards, you‘re playing cos you wanna play it. Hopefully you‘re playing it to improve, and ranking up is a byproduct of that. But people just force themselves to play KL just to collect more stuff instead of wanting to.
Yeah, it's a whole different level of stress. It wouldn't be so bad if the point system was different. Early on it's not bad at all. You get points if you win, less points if you lose. But you still get points for trying. You're constantly leveling up towards whatever your goal is. Then you stop gaining points when you lose, which is understandable.................then you start losing points when you lose....and you can lose a LOT of points when you lose. You might lose more points for losing a match than you'd gain from winning one. Then you get penalized for not playing the game every other day. It just takes me out of it.

It's a LOT of unnecessary stress. Just get rid of the point decay and the point loss in general and I think it'd be better. Maybe double the number of points gained for winning so it doesn't feel like a major grind.

Or give us a way to play Kombat League offline and acquire skins offline. While making it a challenge and not just handing it to people so that people who do grind Kombat League online don't feel cheated out of the skins they had to grind for, but not making it like Gauntlet OP. Just like an Endless Brutal Difficulty tower. The further you get up the ladder, the more points you get per victory. Kinda like the win streak in Kombat League except it's actually good and furthers you towards your goal.

I play Kombat League for the skins. If there are skins for a character I like in KL and I like the skin, I'll play for it. Before we knew Mileena was coming, Kitana had that skin coming in Kombat League. It was a purple version of a revenant skin, but she had her human skin and a long braid. I played Kombat League for the first time and grinded for it until I reached Master then stopped. I did the same for Skarlet in this season, and I'm gonna do the same for Sindel whenever that season comes out. I want nothing more than to try and grind to Elder God, get those Time Krystals. But, I can't be bothered. It's too stressful and all it takes is one bad game to set you back and then you're immediately out of the mood. I'd rather spend money on the skins than try to grind that hard.
 
YES dafuq. They are pretty and rich and LGBT icons like yes I want them all. They're also the most magical characters and I vibe with them. They're clean af. Like the Edenians have been my favorite and I'm disappointed that they haven't played a more pivotal role as like, a realm. We need an Edenia stage.

But I do want Havik too so.
Where are you getting that Rain is gay? He was never said to be gay
 
Rain better have that turning into water while moving through the opponent in the game that they showed in the trailer, kind of like Goku MUI in Fighterz. Like a dodging move. I actually hope it's a transformation that lasts for a good 5 seconds where you're unable to hit him with most moves and the one controlling Rain can move as a watery shape around the screen. Fighting in this water form would consist of throwing water projectiles or something.

Maybe the trailer hints that it works like Geras' time reverse special and can do it whenever he wants on hit by spending 2 def bars.

I hope not though. I want it to be a defensive move like a parry or maybe even a stance that could dodge projectiles, dash through them and opponents, dash back for some space and potential whiff punish and also be cancelable for pressure on block.

what I like probably the most, is that NRS completely nailed how the liquids look in this game. Water, blood, everything is so damn good that I just can't wait to see how my boi is gonna use it in a fight! And I wanted that since the very beginning I saw Skarlet. Then, when this shitty Cetrion bitch came and stole some water moves from the Prince I was utterly disappointed. And yet, after all these months! HE. IS. FINALLY. HERE. And I need more than that trailer!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!

oh man, sounds SICKOOOOO. I just wish he has his iconic bubble back. Well, but thats stolen by Cetrion though.... I think the 3rd gear piece would be this thing on his chest. The arm piece may be only customizable due to outfit change. But that's a guess only

Two articles now have said he still has all his classic moves lol, the bubble is coming back. However one said they were reimagined and another didn‘t mention they were changed at all. So maybe they have different animations but are functionally the same?

So Facebook sluths thinks that this is Rain's face model- he's from the same modeling agency as the other face models used in MK11. Maybe ???



name is Jonathan Bullock .
If that's his face model, can we get Rain in a bathing suit and wearing those swimming goggles, pls?
 
I really hope he's not suuuuuper execution heavy like Fujin. Cause he kinda sounds pretty mobile with the turning into water to avoid stuff. I'm thinkin that could either be a smoke away type tele, which would be cool. Or it could also just be a parry like Robocop that parries everything

I will spam all the topics just saying that he is the best character in the entire MK universe and this version of him is absolute masterpiece.
 
Wow, they took Fujin's approach and just went all out. These characters are getting better and better. I'm at a point where it doesn't matter which character is coming next, they manage to just make them amazing! Rain with the Goku MUI dodging move, finally the bubble not a gimmick anymore, the different skins, the flawless transition between water and person is just flawless. Hell yeah, Rain is instant buy and main!
