I want to see some variation of an "Acid Rain" type of fatality.

If they can make eye balls pop out in Kenshi's Fatality, they can do an AWESOME Acid Rain Fatality.
Maybe something like Acid Rain hits the opponents FACE, making the brain, eyes, nose, ears and lips fall off, leaving a bloody hollow skull.

could be interesting.. it fits, as in Acid Rain, but acid related stuff are bound to Reptile in my head so idk. I'd prefer a lightning fatality for sure and maybe some water related one

RT @XanderHester @noobde What is Rain's opening phrase? Noobde: "Where there are clouds, there's RAIN !!"

LOL

god I've been waiting for this! Rain is my aaaaaaaabsolutely favourite, can't wait to see how he turned out to be :D btw there's another issue, do we know that DLC characters are having no alternate? did anyone download Kenshi yet to tell us? if they don't that's a huge downer, each character deserves at least two costumes (not counting retro, obviously)
 
Rain - Fantasy Movelist by Aquaman

My Movelist for Rain (made-up, not official):

Super Roundhouse Kick - Fast kick, VERY slow recovery if blocked. 7% Damage, can be comboed into and out of.
EX version: Send them around the world twice and does 15% damage, but VERY slow recovery on block.

Mind Control Orb - Slow speed, 5% damage. Used to pop up opponents and set up air juggles after Roundhouse Kick. EX Version: More damage and quicker recover frames. 10% Damage.

Lightning - Quick, can be blocked high & low. 7% Damage. EX Version: Faster, must be blocked low(overhead). 10% Damage.

Water Blast - Short blast of water our of Rain's fist, quick, short range, stuns. 4% Damage. EX Version: Stream of water(like Sub-Zero's Ice Ball EX), dizzies, safe on wake-up, and invinciblity frames. 8% Damage.


X-RAY:
"When Doves Cry" - It's a COUNTER.
Rain does a quick 3hit combo, kneels into a quick uppercut. The camera zooms in on his face before he jumps up past the opponent and double-hand spikes them back into the ground. 30% Damage, can be comboed out of.

Fatalities:

"When Lightning Strikes" (2011 Edition):
Rain lifts his hands into the air and a black cloud forms over the opponents head. It begins to rain leaving a puddle around the opponents feet. Rain then throws his hands down which at the same time calls down the lightning(insert LOUD sizzling sound effects) and the opponent electrifies to death screaming in pain til they explode. Pretty much his original MKT fatality, just with water this time.


"Rain, Rain, Go Away"
Rain does the Super Roundhouse Kick and the opponent flies away. But they keep flying around him(think portal or Noob's babality). He makes a grunt, gets angry, then uppercuts the opponent which causes them to explode. A combination of his signature special move and his "Upside Down Uppercut" fatality.

---------------------------------

In a couple weeks I'll know how close I was to the final product, lol.

This is the 2nd compatibility pack for the ninjas, and with this costume pack all the Klassic ninjas are covered (minus Rain).
If this trend continues, my guess is that we'll see 2 more costumes with Rain and 2 more with "???"


That being said, I hope the 4 costumes (with each of the remaining 2 compatibility packs) are for the 4 DLC characters.
 
I wonder what klassic outfits are comin' with Rain and his compatibility pack. We've got all the ninjas, and logically they can't give Rain and Skarlet klassic outfits with the compatibility pack... so maybe we'll get klassic outfits for the most popular characters that aren't ninjas (like Raiden, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage and Kano)?

they already said that with each pack, we get two classics for free.. but bruce norris forever is right, due to it being the compatibility pack we can't get classics for the DLC ones.. the thing is, DLC costumes are supposed to be retro or brand new ones after some point but so far it seems DLC characters only get ONE costume by default. each of them should have at least two, maybe NRS will make a patch after the release of ??? .. I hope so anyway, it'll be quite bad if they only work on one costume for each DLC character and our only chance of seeing extra costumes for them are the retro ones. each char deserves at least two brand new costumes by default
 
Us 360 users probably won't get Rain until August.

EDIT - HA! Anonymous coward takes potshots because I make a legit point.

How is this point any more legitimate than any other snarky complaint? We got the Klassic Pack on-time (unlike PS3 EU users), we got Skarlet really early in the morning (PS3 had to wait til later that day), and we got Kenshi a day late (PS3 got it on-time). There is no real pattern there as far as the time of DLC release goes. Nothing at all suggest that, logically, we'll be getting Rain any later than we thought previously. So far 360-users have gotten most of our DLC quite promptly, Kenshi was an exception, not a rule. For the record, I didn't negative rep you (I avoid it as much as possible) but I don't see why your complaint was any more valuable than any other complaint.
 
NinjaBoy66 hinted at who are the next 2 that will be getting klassic outfits with Rain. Someone asked him about who would be following "Salt and Pepper" (Smoke and Noob), and his response was "Blueberry and Lime". Anybody have any ideas on who would stand for Blueberry and Lime? Blueberry could stand for Cyber Sub-Zero, but what about Lime?

Lime could be Sonya maybe. Blueberry? Uh.... Stryker? I don't know.
