Re: Rain - Why we want him as DLC
Rain is my favourite character, but I wasn't surprised he was cut. My gutts told me they were not going to include him. I sincerely hope when Rain gets DLC, he surpasses many characters in the official ranking as most-picked up.
If they release him DLC, they MUST give him his control bubble (as an enhanced move from the water blast) and his roundhouse kick - those two moves are a HAVE TO INCLUDE. He was one of the most unique characters in Trilogy in terms of gameplay, they have to return that same old Rain. The only move I'm not sure of is the lightining, Nightwolf already stole it and that's really not much they can do to make it different for Rain. I'm fine with a new adaptation, but please, do not give him the exact same move.
As for design, his Armageddon design is fine minus the cape. I don't want Rain to be a ninja, I want him to be an arabian knight, it's different and for ninja-looking characters we already have Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Skarlet. And to honest, he will not look nearly as horrible as Smoke does in the game anyway...
