General/Other - Raiden "WHO'S NEXT?" RAIDEN Revealed for Mortal Kombat X at Evolution 2014!

[kabelfritz]

He had that teleport in MK9, but it was ex tele. As far as the mid combo telporting maybe he just cancelled it? If so, then is the other variation really needed?

The teleports do looks a lot quicker for his displacer variation. Looking forward to teleporting between strings again.

the teleport in the string looks more like a ghetto mixup to me. he goes low in the first string then overhead after the teleport. without back to block it doesnt make much sense though.

 

[Flagg]

Raiden looks completely badass!

To be honest Kotal Khan looked way more badass as well than previous showings.

You could really hear the sound effects this time which sound amazing.

Christ this game is going to be so sick. I fear scrubs will be crying for Raiden nerfs nearly immediately!

 

[SAREDODEVIL]

all variations looks cool, but the third variation looks so fucking sick

The EX tele in MK9 was a bit diff -- it was like a misdirection; he'd start to appear right next to you, then reappear on the other side. This one looked like it just moved him forward.

 

[WakeUp DP]

Kotal Khan is so bad ass. I dont care about boring ass raiden.

 

[DarKNaTaS]

I think this should be the new OP pic for Raiden

 

[JJvercetti]

If you watch towards the end of the video, he holds it and doesn't appear for a while.

Maybe its based on when he can decide to reappear within a certain amount of time

 

[supernumian]

Glad to see the return of the Thunder God!

 

[Colares]

Those lighting traps were so sick!!!

@STORMS I love the fact that the photo you have of Raiden is him getting XXXX...hehe.

Please do not use this word lightly. It is a serious issue and can trigger some people.

 

[MKF30]

Torpedo and lightning grab (df2 in mk9) seem to be universal moves

Just watched it again for fun lol seems as such, so perhaps they didn't want him too O.P. lol. Cause you know zoners would totally use that lol.

 

[Ze Dingo]

Damn it, I was hoping so much for Fujin, since the devs already let Raiden slip...

lol I'm not even gonna debate about it. Either way he teleports to your opposite side and then telports back in the area he teleported from originally. Anyway, who do we have so far? New characters; Cassie, Khan, Fera/Torr. Returning; Scorpion, Sub, and Raiden? It's obvious NRS is doing a trade off here. I expect the next reveal to be someone who wasn't in MK9.

Sub and Scorp were show first followed by the 3 new characters and now Raiden..pattern?

EDIT; and D'Vorah

you forgot d'vorah

 

[EndofGameBoss]

you forgot d'vorah

Thank you kind sir, I knew I was forgetting someone. TBH I don't care for her design from what I've seen so far, so you can't blame me for forgetting lol.

 

[TONY-T]

Well shit! He looks awesome! Seriously cannot wait to get my hands on this game. Its going to look so sexy on ps4.

 

[BRUTALITY]

I'm calling it now,there is no way in hell raiden it's going to be low tier in this game. All three of his variations look really good and useful.

ill call the opposite. looked sluggish and fundamental like mk9 raiden. probably mid tier

 

[kabelfritz]

Thank you kind sir, I knew I was forgetting someone. TBH I don't care for her design from what I've seen so far, so you can't blame me for forgetting lol.

i dont predict her to be a fan favourite too... unless shes top-tier somehow.

 

[EndofGameBoss]

ill call the opposite. looke sluggish and fundamental like mk9 raiden. probably mid tier

I couldn't tell if he was slow or not because of all the teleports lol. If you watch carefully...not once does he walk backwards..he only dashes. I'm curious if his walk speed is ridiculously slow.

Also, fundamental Raiden is the best kind of Raiden.

 

[Bi-on-iC]

Never touched him in MK9 but that's sure gonna change in X.

Edit: not to mention Kotal Khan being so fuckin' Gdlk.

 

[EndofGameBoss]

Never touched him in MK9 but that's sure gonna change in X.

Raiden was rough in MK9 because he required a ton of patience and fundamentals. He was gimmicky in the beginning, but once people found out you could punish his tele it had to stop. Putting in the time is worth it though because you can tele inbetween certain strings and that's always fun.

 

[NY-Shadow]

Where's Reptile, Ermac and Noob Saibot?

 

[BRUTALITY]

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.

totally agreed. his teleport mode looks fucking sick. otherwise the trailer was "yep, thats raiden from mk9."

his costume is absolutely understated, in fact i feel it is in some mid ground between too little and too much. i would prefer all white classic raiden, or caped brutal raiden than run of the mill 'heres raiden'.

im also tired of the ball lightning, this guy is a lightning god, and he is controlling the same shitty ball lightning as mk9. i want TO SEE SOME FUCKING LIGHTNING BOLTS. you know like, Rain or Shazam or .... mk3 raiden. lightning balls are super underwhelming and not flashy or impressive. its just lame. i want some fucking lightning and i did honestly expect it in mk10.

also the fatality is balls.

kotal kahns xray is still hype though.



ps. I still like this raiden but they dropped the ball making him about 25% as awesome as they could have. so far raiden is the most likely character i will use.

 

[IMakeItL00kC00L]

IT DOESNT MATTER WHOS NEXT ANYMORE, ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT RAIDEN IS WHO IS FOREVER

 

[EndofGameBoss]

Where is Bwizz with his thoughts and @Chaosphere ?

 

[EndofGameBoss]

Kotal Khan is so bad ass. I dont care about boring ass raiden.

Maaaan, I think Kotal looks super boring. He is going to be the Thunder of MKX lol.
