Re: Quick question about Rain

I don't think they intended not to include Rain in the game at all like some people said.. I think they wanted to keep SOME characters out and from the normal characters due to story mostly, I guess Rain got the bullet instead of Sheeva, we also didn't get cyborg Smoke and Motaro for design or whatever reasons.. my bet is it's all about marketing, like I said before a lot, the good thing about Rain's bullet is that he got way more popular now lol. idk how they'll be releasing characters because we don't have a date for skarlet and kenshi so we can't assume we'll get a new character each month for example to speculate when Rain will come.. though, it just hit me that Boon's first tweet for DLC had: Rain, Shinnok, Kenshi, cyborg Smoke, new character and then he added Tanya. well, we already know that we'll get Skarlet first and Kenshi second and judging by that first DLC-related tweet Ed made, I guess we'll be getting the rest of the list after the first two. the only one I don't really get is Shinnok cause it would make sense for him to be in the next game? but anyhow, if that tweet was basically their characters DLC plan, my bet would be: a) Skarlet b) Kenshi c) cyborg Smoke d) & e) the edenians, not sure which one first and last one Shinnok. would also love to see Motaro, Frost, Reiko and mayyyybe Fujin but.. idts :/
 
Re: Quick question about Rain

i like rain and would like to see him as DLC but i have to admit i feel a little sorry guy seeing as how he was only created because of a Prince song of all things.

dude the game never took itself seriously, if they made mk as dark as it should be, things would be different. look f.e. how amazing noob saibot is and how disgusting his name is. I get how they made a tribute to ed and tobias but.. that name sucks way too bad.

can't argue with that.
 
Re: Rain - Why we want him as DLC

Rain FTW, most anticipated DLC character ever :D
also heres hoping we see these costumes again
Trilogy_Rain.gif

by far thats the best ninja costume imho to date, and i trully hope when rain comes out, theyl main him with it :)
 
Re: Rain - Why we want him as DLC

id laugh if they brought rain out and it was a retro ninja pallett swap, firing sub zeros ice balls but instead of freezing you the knock you over and give him nightwolfs lightning move.
Or he was just a bubble of water like the world industries dude
 
Re: Rain - Why we want him as DLC

I'd want him with his Armageddon look back but without his cape. I think that look was awesome and original, it was a prefect mix between a ninja and an arabian prince. Simply awesome.

EDITED: for confusions.

What's wrong about the name? I think the name fits him very well, also if he would be named Rain but not after the prince song, just because they wanted to name him like that, would you feel the same way?

Anyway is a very cool song, I think that and im not afraid to say it.

I'd be cool with that, as long as he doesn't have the ponytail.

I'm not too sure about the Arabian/Ninja look.
I either want Arabian, or I want ninja.
Not both.

But hey, NRS did a hell of a job with recreating the characters in this game, so hopefully I'll be eating my words :)

I wasnt meaning mixing the arabian look with the ninja look from 2d games.
I meant that his MKA look was a perfect mix between a ninja and an arabian prince.
 
Re: Rain - Why we want him as DLC

I want him to have his moveset from MKT plus a couple more moves maybe 1 from MK:A...But I think they will save him for last. Either way he will be DLK regardless.

now I knew rain had an arabic thing going on, but does anyone else think Ermac resembles a Desert type character as well? I've always imagined ermac as an evil genie or arabic sorcerer.

I know this is the rain thread and I'm getting off topic, but I just wanted your guys opinions on my thoughts.

His skin tone as a red palette-swap did give him a very Arabic look, I've always wondered why they didn't pursue that...

Back on-topic: I'd like to see Rain refrain from going too far MKT or MKA aesthetically. He's a fighter, but he's also royalty and I'd like to see that put on display with his Primary Costume. Coincidentally, I'd like to see a blend of moves from MKT and MKA as well. Keep the ridiculous Roundhouse Kick but I'd like to see his water powers more fully explored like in MKA. I'd give him some serious play time if they can make him fun and unique. Plus, I'd personally love to see him get a cool Bio and Arcade Ending. I'm big into the story and I doubt they'll be releasing more Story Mode chapters as DLC, so a good Bio and Ending is what I'm pulling for.
 
Re: Rain - Why we want him as DLC

I want Rain to retain his special moves from Armageddon and Trilogy plus a few new ones, and I'd like a mix between his royal look and his klassic look. Can't wait to see his bio and ending so I can include him in my character studies of all the kombatants in the MKverse.

His babality, fatalities, intro, X-Ray and win pose will be awesome, I bet all of these will be awesome!

When Rain gets put in as DLC NRS should make him have a darker skin tone and have a dark royal purple outfit with gold accents
