The third and last known DLC character for <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/mortal_kombat_2011">Mortal Kombat (2011)</a> has been released as a render to the community. <b>Rain</b> debuted first in <a href="http://www.trmk.org/games/ultimate_mortal_kombat_3">Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3</a> as a purple ninja tease in the arcade game's attract mode. The character was never playable until the console versions. While this is the last known DLC character, there is at least one character left that <b>NetherRealm Studios</b> has not announced the name of yet.

As has been the case with the previous two characters, Skarlet and Kenshi, there will also be a free compatibility pack released in conjunction with the Rain DLC character. The free compatibility packs have featured free retro skins and Rain's release appears to follow in this manner. NRS Community Manager, <a href="http://twitter.com/NinjaBoy66">Rigo Cortes</a> has been <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/NinjaBoy66/status/89426801230741504">teasing</a> on about <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/NinjaBoy66/status/89427860384792576">who's skins</a> are being included in the pack, mentioning "blueberry and lime". Anyone care to guess who he could be referring to?
 
Looks good. :-)
Can't wait to FINALLY get Rain in Mk 9.

As for DLC:
Blueberry = ?
Lime= Hopefully MK 3 Sonya
 
I really like Rains design in this game. Excited to see how he plays.
As for the two classic costumes. Blueberry and Lime? Maybe it's Jax (purple pants, blueberry) and as mentioned above, Sonya (green pants and top, lime)

EDIT: I'll just drop this here.

Would rather johnny cage mk1 rather than a Jax classic. But oh well, if it is free I'll get it

Agreed!!! but I can't possibly think of how Johnny Cage could be a lime or blueberry....

Anyways, Rain looks great! They better reveal the fourth dlc character in his trailer too, and it better be Tanya! lol
 
Wow... Rain looks really amazing. I love the how they mixed up black with the purple. Makes him look mean. Love it.
 
It is definitely sonya and jax (probably mk3 skins). The two characters are always connected. Current skin packs prove that! :)
 
Picture him swimming up to the screen like a merman, "Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty"

Blueberry = Kitana, Lime = Jade. MKII costumes is my guess.

I highly doubt they would just do them two and not mileena.

Mist likely lime is sonya. I think depending on the classic will determine the other person. Mk3 it will be Jax and sonya, mk1 it will cage and sonya.

Most likely it will be mk3, since I think that is the more popular sonya outfit.
 
Lol this render has been on the xbox 360's dashboard ever since skarlet's release. I remember saying that Rain looks like a pallette swap scorpion.
 
everyone is probaly right on sonya from mk3 but i think blueberry cant be jax i mean he techincally has the purple pants when you press start on his primary i think it is unmasked sub or mk3 nightwolf
 
Blueberry could refer to Raiden, but it wouldn't make sense if NRS is releasing him with Sonya (assuming Lime refers to her).
 
More Ninja outfits? I love the ninjas but...
Just give me MK1 Johnny Cage and Raiden already.

But everyone want to know my guess? It will be UMK3 Sub-Zero [Masked] and Reptile. I called it... Remember.

And Rain looks simply amazing, never been a fan but he looks really good with this new design. Just hope his gameplay style is improved too. Can't wait to see the trailer. I'm even more curious to see it in action than I was with Kenshi. lol

I agree, only care for unmasked Sub for Cyber Sub and the most of the non ninja characters now so i can use them more but i think it will be MK3 ninjas at the end or Stryker and Sonya.
 
blueberry and lime...

Cyber Sub-Zero has been one of the least popular characters since Taven and Daegon. If NRS releases MK3 Sub for Cyber Sub, all that would change i can assure you. I will ****ing MASTER Cyber Sub, if i get that costume

as for lime...non other than MK3 or MK1 Sonya Blade...this is one of the most requested costumes since the game released. One of my personal faves as well. Sonya has went through a Military-Influenced costume crisis since MK4...Lets bring back that sexy aerobic gear!

If blueberry isn't MK3 Sub...i pray that it's "BloodSport" MK1 Johnny Cage
