KOMBA-!

That Displacer Raiden!

And that Storm Lord Raiden! Lightning traps?! Yes please!

I'm pumped for Raiden.

 

[Deftonesrc]

OK, that was awesome. I'm super impressed with the creativity that NRS seems to be putting into the character designs

 

[Zyphox]

MKX looks like the only Fighting game i've seen so far (based solely on speculation) where Balance may not be an issue. MU won't be so lop sided, and Fundamentals will play a huge factor in this game. Every game has a eandom factor to it, but i think collectively MKX looks to be very promising and Can't wait to grind it out with all the EC players in Jersey and NYC as well as online (hopefully) to Get as good as possible in this game and have fun.

I guess you can say that trailer was.....Godlike.






I'll stop now

I feel like the trap variation is going to suck, they seemed like they took too long to set up.

Displacer looked gawd-like though

Maybe his trap variation is for slower opponents? but still yea I would imagine displacer would be better if you can tele between strings like in MK9.

His design sucks. Like really hard. With all those new hardware at disposal, he got a costume so bland it hurts my eyes.

The only thing that is hype about him is teleporter mode. Shit is dope.

When was I wrong though? MKX hasnt come out yet so I cant have already been wrong about it

So things I noticed:

-He has regular teleport, and a forward teleport that still leaves him in front, Ares-style.
-But it also seems like he has a MB teleport, which doesn't instantly make him reappear -- so he stays off the screen for a bit and then comes back; maybe he has a window to choose when he reappears?
-He seems to have some kind of charged repel or parry move in Stormlord form.
-He has good range on his X-ray; maybe not as crazy as Sub Zero in MK9, but if it starts up as fast as it looks it should be useful.
-He gets hit with a Kratos-esque stun parry around 45 seconds.
-He teleports mid-combo in Thunder-god stance -- so maybe that's just a special part of the string?

 

[ShotgunInsanity]

Those MMH orbs

Btw am I the only one who's impressed with those graphics?

 

[Hehateme]

Thunder take me

 

[kabelfritz]

he has a low in a string now

also, looks like he has different ways to meterburn his specials

 

[Briyen]

loved loved his gameplay, didnt really dig his looks, wish it was a little more different/upgraded

 

[PaletteSwap]

I don't wanna be a Debbie Downer and Raiden looks awesome and all, but talk about an anticlimactic reveal.

I'm happy to see Raiden but it was so obvious. I wanted to be shocked (pun absolutely not intended) and caught of guard but I wasn't... at all. I'm bummed that one character is all we get. Is that it? No more reveals for EVO?

@STORMS, where is my Raiden Sub-Forum?

 

[Linkuei82]

That was awesome. Raiden looks fun as hell to play.

 

[ColdBoreMK23]

I think we are going to get another reveal at some point this weekend. Boon said, "Here is the first video". Unless he just slipped up his words?

It would be hype if after the MK tourny he announces another.

Raiden looks cool though.

 

[Pho Cubic]

PL will main Displacer Raiden lol. Praise God this game isn't back to block.

Sounds like slip of the tongue to me.

i think he meant "the first look" not "the first to come"
