I am eagerly accepting money matches from talking scrubs like u in mlg dallas money match thread.
not feeding your ignorance sir. I don't care what it is you have to say, or prove. You are a cancer to this site, and no one respects your opinions. You only post to get a reaction out of people. Troll on sir troll on

Ok. Forgiven.
Oh please believe if I had the money to attend mlg dallas I would. I don't back down from any type of challenge. What have you done though? You call me a scrub, but I have placed in any tournament I have played in MK. I have played top players, people can actually attest for my skill in something I hardly play anymore due to going back to school. I have taught people how to play this game, and brought people to this site who have contributed to it in a helpful way. I have led my own MK community in my home city for 8 months. What have you done to call me a scrub. If anything sir you calling me a scrub, your overall lack of knowledge, and your obvious attempts at trolling and derailing any thread you post in shows you have no respect for this community. You sling around insults at respected members and leaders of this community as if you are the best player out there. You sir are a diseased pustule that needs to be popped, and medicated. You are a parasite. I will feed you ignorance no longer.

Clayman, calm your tits dude lol. There's always drama when you post. Can you ever just post without starting trouble?

Everyone else, just don't fall into his bait. Let him try to sound like an awesome player and then watch him bomb at MLG if you really dislike him. Don't pollute perfectly good threads like this.

That said, Rain is Honda. Been saying this for months.

How can rain be turtle if he needs to play rushdown-orientied footsie game in most matchups?
It's matchup dependent. Like I said, he's Honda. Honda turtles some matchups, goes in on others. His defensive footsies are pretty solid...offensively he's pretty set as well.

no one ever said all your post are bad, but as far as this thread goes all you have said is "Rain suck","Cd Jr would body everyone", and shot down anyone argument with, "you're a scrub.", and "cool story bro." witch is more or less the like arguing with a 5th grade. if you wanna back up why you think Rain is shit fine, what GOOD Rain players have you played? do you know anything about Rain? don't come into a forum just to say a characters is shit without having a mature, educated argument.

It's true that Rain need to mostly rush down to be effective, but some characters can stay away from Rain so well it dose him more harm then good trying to chase them down the whole match. The idea of a turtle Rain is to get you're damage, witch is easily close to 40 - 50% most the time, and turtle. What this dose if forces your opponent to come to you therefore making it easier for apply pressure and punish mistakes.

and the idea of cyrax ends after "to get ur damage"... that's the hardest part, cuz u'll need to rush them down most of the time

Obviously his RHC game is the meat of his offense. His various armor options,especially shield dashes, allow him to stuff characters trying to outdo him in footsies, as well as allow him to get in. Against a lot of zoning, lightning is a solid check to projectiles, since it is a tracking projectile that has a immobilizing time comparable to Sub and Cyrax's projectiles. He can trade, then teleport into a comfortable position. You can't full screen zone Rain relentlessly unless you're Freddy.

Basically as said, he just bides his time until he gets the big damage. 4RH is amazing, because there's no hit confirming necessary, unlike 43 xx bubble. Let it rip, if it hits, dash under and uppercut combo (which is very viable to do consistently...just nobody really bothered to make it a viable combo).

As i expected nothing new or viable.

Imo, the only thing very new we can used to improve Rain metagame is the armored specials, and despite Reno Rack I believe I've never seen that shit be used by anyone unfortunetly.

You asked how Rain can go in ? Despite ex-RHc dash which is great, he also can use an armored bubble or storm (which can both combo).
Also, I never read it because people prefer to say "teleport sucks" but his teleport can punish a lot of stuffs just like Subzero's iceball if you expect it. Teleport + ex-RH(c) is also pretty safe actually.

Well, when I'm saying tp can punish some specials like iceball it also may be tp, 4, 3, bubble (47% meterless). But yes, his RH is godlike, lot of friends are complaining about that special and it may looks lame but at the end it just place Rain a bit higher in the tier list (without RH he'll be shit tier for sure lol).

Wait, Rain can cancel EXRH into a special and it keeps the armor?

Clayman no one ever said anything new had to arise. Characters can get better over time just due to how the game is played compared to before. DeeJay and T.Hawk are now top tier in ST after like 15 years simply because players just have the game down so well that mistakes are so minimal because people know what to do in pretty much any given scenario of the game. Sometimes, characters get better just by the players improving how they play.
