Rain general discussion

[kingjolly]

He animates really well.

 

[Zviko]

If all the specials he did in the fight against Kotal are actually in the same tournament variation it would be fucking awesome. 3 launchers, dodging thing, restand. Perfect.

 

[Ck AeroVoid]

He seems alot like a fujin/baraka mix. like you gotta whiff punish to start your insane damage, cause the recovery in his specials BARELY look safe. (Specifically his water evasion attacks)

 

[StormGoddess]

i love this skin

 

[Zviko]

This Rain has potential to be my top 2 MK characters ever. The only thing that can prevent it is if they make him not fun with stupid variation choices like they did with Noob.

Jesus christ. I am dead. My body ain’t ready for this. Rain on me.

Sisters, we still gotta pray for that MKX design to be on MK11. Don’t lose hope.

 

[MK Dragon]

His katar keeps switching hands, wonder if that has any significance. Also, I'm getting Shredder TMNT vibes from him.

Don't bank on it, they already gave a nod to it with that 3rd design.

That's likely just to make sure it's always in his visible hand no matter which side he's on.

 

[DarksydeDash]

I lost my voice..

But did anybody catch the delay wakeup animation?

 

[Zviko]

I wonder if the move at 0:30 that KBs Kotal's wake up can also absorb projectiles. It looks like you can hold it and the water has shield-like shape. Maybe it works the same as that Spawn special.

Atheistically gorgeous, this design team is elite.

Did anyone else feel that he's basically water Fujin? Flying moves, fast af movement, long range attacks, basically gets a tool kit other base chars don't.

Been saying a year now it seems they just keep giving new chars better movement, flying moves, over and over.

I want Kitana to be DLC next game. Maybe they wont half bake her if she is dlc.

Damn he looks awesome, looks like he still has a ton of combo extenders which is fantastic. The skins we‘ve seen so far also look really good, exactly what I‘d expect Rain to have lol

 

[HeavyNorse]

I hope he gets a variation of this costume where his hair is out. That would be perfect!

I'm hoping one of his masks just completely removes not only the mask but the head gear altogether cause I'd love to see his hair. But this skin is definitely my favorite. Serving Prince of Persia realness. But I still think he has 1 more skin we haven't seen yet. We've seen his default, one skin that kinda reminds me of Injustice, and this one. But I don't think we saw a 4th.

 

[Ptehu]

yea, the Persian/Indian vibe is perfect on him. And I just feel like his moves are so good and smooth and he is just showing off while fighting - that would be sooooo Rain-ish

Damn, they nailed him!!!

Imagine an alternate reality where this was the confirmation of Rain coming to MK11. I'd have loved that so much.

He looks so pleased with himself lol

I just realized when he does his Super Kick, he knocks them into a rift and it spits them out behind him. Pretty cool way to explain how that move worked. Also seemed like he didn’t need meter to combo off it which is pretty cool. I wonder what his Bubble and Lightning do if they aren‘t meter burned?

 

[xXRagingFlameXx]

Idk about the lighting, but the Bubble looks like it's just a straight projectile if it's not amplified.

You'll probably want to prepare yourself heh

He looks cool tho...I guess he has some kind of damage immune move.

Definitely, though they laid a massive egg when it came to Sheeva. Nothing fancy, no serious 4 armed abilities besides the fire balls - not part of tournament variations, dumbest shit ever - and that shield just an awful weapon choice. Glad I never cared for her, just the only shokan and her looks made me have hope. Rain didn’t care for either, but just blew it out of the water

 

[Arqwart]

Hot take: Rain's Fatal Blow is dumb as it doesn't utilize his lightning. Where the lightning at?

Yah I'm not sure how Shokan fighter became focused on a shield in the game design...

Somebody got focused on shield bashing....
