"Game... Blouses."
Baraka 6/4
- I got no problem with this. Baraka is very limited and can't do nearly enough damage to make this a completely even fight. He has incredible wake-ups though.
Cyber Sub Zero 5/5
- After playing a few really good CSZ's; I could see how this is a 5/5. We both can do high damage and sure he has the Ice Parry which can make our lives Hell, but we have armor that can blast right through anything he has.
Cyrax 5/5
- It's a whole different story if they use resets/cheap exploits which I believe needs to be factored into this -- however; Rain puts up a helluva fight against Cyrax with or without the resets.
Ermac 5/5
- Maybe it's just online lag but Ermac can give me some trouble. I still think it's a 5/5 though.
Freddy Krueger 4.5/5.5
- This seems about right. It's kind of a tug of war between these two. Freddy has the advantage because he can control what you do from full screen.
Jade 6/4
- Good Jades can keep Rain out -- albeit, not very easily but they can do it. I have a hard time believing Tom Brady really knows what he's talking about when it comes to this match-up. I think it's a 5/5.
Jax 4.5/5.5
- This isn't as bad of a match-up as it is sometimes made out to be. Sure, Jax can be hard to punish and he can murder you with the Ground Pounds but if you pressure and get in -- it's not that bad. I agree with this completely.
Johnny Cage 5/5
- I just suck against Cage so I'd say it's a 4/6 but that might just be me. It seems like F3-3 string knocks you out of your shielded dashes and Ex Roundhouse Kick can only do so much. Cage is my worst nightmare but it's probably a "me issue."
Kabal 5/5
- Yeah, I can see this being a 5/5. It can be tough to get anything going but you have to take what you can get. It's somewhat going to be in Kabal's favor; which Kevo Da Man has made me well aware of however we can do some things to get around Kabal's game so it isn't too bad. I'd say it's a 4.5/5.5.
Kano 5/5
- This is a 4/6, in my opinion. Too many of Kano's moves beat Rain's cleanly. I really don't think there's that many good Kanos out there to really create a strong foundation for this match-up though. I also believe I'm basing this off online play probably a bit too much, too.
Kenshi 4/6
- This is almost a 3/7. Kenshi can be your worst nightmare if played at a high level. I hate this match-up more than anything.
Kitana 4/6
- 5/5 all the way; I'm tired of seeing everyone say otherwise. This really isn't that bad of a match-up.
Kung Lao 4/6
- Strongly agree here. Kung Lao can give me fits sometimes and it can be very tough to punish him. It's not his hardest match-up but Kung Lao's mobility prevails more often than it doesn't so I could see this being a 4/6.
Liu Kang 5/5
- Some Liu Kang's will give me fits, some not so much. Zyns and Peckapowa mainly.
Mileena 5/5
- I'm almost ready to say this is a 6/4 match-up. I've only seen a few Mileenas know how to handle Rain.
Nightwolf 5/5
- I really don't have enough MU experience to say in this match-up. RipCrowley can give me some problems though with his incredible Nightwolf.
Noob Saibot 6/4
- Believe it or not; I'm terrible against Noob. It's probably because my brother and I never play each other but goddamn, this is like a 4/6 for me even on good days.
Quan Chi 4/6
- I guess... Book says he struggles. I can get blown up by halfeaten from time to time, but mostly we go back and forth. I've never played ShujinkyDink's Quan "Cheese" but I heard some pretty good things. Not enough MU experience to fully throw down a number on this, confidently.
Raiden 4/6
- Yeah, no argument to be had here.
Reptile 4.5/5.5
- Same here, no argument to be had. Reptile can keep away and keep you out.
Scorpion 5/5

Sektor 5/5

Shang Tsung 5/5

Sheeva 6/4

Sindel 6/4
