well yeah, that's why I said after ???'s release. Rain talks, it's so obvious! there is NO way he doesn't talk at all, the video makes a yiah sound and his mask moves as if he's saying something, a line. calling it now for that patch :P

He doesn't talk, dude. His mask moves because he was spinning around.

I doubt "a bit angsty" would justify Rain turning to the enemies' side. Trust me, dude, he's at least arrogant if not an arrogant prick, the bio basically said it itself.

Also, I bet my left cheek that Ermac is Rain's father, and that his ending will reveal this, if only because the first line in the bio.

Ermac is everyone's daddy. With all those souls and all. Imagine him having sex, the phrase would be literal.

"Who is your daddy? We are!"

Gameplay (awesome) aside, **** Rain as a character personality. Didn't care much for Taven but when he talked up that smack I enjoyed whooping him in MK:A.

Bio:
TRAITOR OF THE REALM
A refugee orphaned by Shao Kahn's conquest, Rain grew up under the protection of the Edenian Resistance. An exceptional fighter, he soon rose through their ranks. As his reputation grew, so did his arrogance. When Rain demanded leadership of the Resistance forces, he was refused. Infuriated, he turned against his rebel comrades and betrayed them to their sworn enemy. In payment for this treason, Rain was promised his own army by the emperor Shao Kahn. Power would be his - no matter the cost.

When I see Rain's look and his gameplay I regret that I said let Rain out for Quan Chi. I picked Quan Chi about 10 times but Rain looks incredible!

After I saw the trailer for the first time I was really stunned.

What NRS did to rain cannot be put into words. I have to admit I never really liked Rain in UMK3 and MKT, not in terms of game play but rather in terms of presentation. He was just ahead of it's time but now his time has come to shine and he is shining as bright as the sun :)


As for his fatalities I cannot wait to see them and in contrary to others I like his decapitation fatality, it's simple and antique and therefore good and much better than his strange and IMHO ridiculous idiotic upside down punch. But to each his own :)
 
Loved the Rain's bio ! yeah, I'm a new fan of Rain, his story , bio , personality, powers, everything, are very cool, he is ambitious, arrogant, kocky, but powerful, and, he seeks for recognition.

haha, I cannot wait for his Arcade Ladder ending, I guess one of these 2 possibilities might can take place :

- Rain betrays Shao Kahn , and take all power over Outworld for himself, claiming to be the new emperor

- Or Rain stays loyal to Kahn, and, reinforce his position as fearsome general of Outworld Army, crushing all resistance against his emperor

Rain is awesome in this game !

XD XD

I actually liked his Upsidedown Punch but I'm glad they're using water in his fatalities as that makes more sense for the character.

Unless joking, go play Armageddon Konquest. Argus is his father.

I know about that crappy-ass story of his from Armageddon. I guarantee you they retconned that, especially since I doubt Taven and Daegon are making any appearances in future MK games. Read his MK9 bio. He was orphaned during Shao Kahn's conquering of Edenia; his MKT bio, which his MK9 bio seems to be loosely based on, said his real father was an Edenian general killed in kombat by Shao Kahn.

Thats his adoptive father who he did not know of as adoptive. Look at his powers... He has complete control over an element and weather. That points to him being a demi-god.

Look at the other edinians in all the games. I think Tanya was the only one to have an actual fireball. Kitana and Jade have more physical/weapons based powers with the exception of kitana's ability to teleport and jade phasing through projectiles. You could make the argument for sindel's powers being given due to her being resurrected with dark magic.
 
Like it or not, here are the facts:
1)Rain was originally being raised by an Edenian general before Shao Kahns invasion
2)Rain's true biologicial father IS Argus
3)By default, Taven and Daegon ARE Rain's half-brothers


These things are not going to change because they have already been put into the MK storyline. When Boon says the timeline will be different, it will. BUT not in the sense that Rain's parents will be magically different. Only the path of where the story of the games will be altered.

For instance, you can clearly see Daegon fighting in the background levels on MK 9. whether or not he ever becomes a playable character again is irrelevant. He will still be apart of the MK universe and possibly storyline intertwined.

Also, since Rain doesnt actually discover his demi-god heritage until Armageddon by Quan Chi, there's a good possibility that Rain doesnt even know that he is a demi-god or believes he is a prince. Of course, that could change in his ending or in MK 10 with Rain possibly siding with Quan Chi and Shinnock after they reveal the truth. Just my thoughts.
 
Well Im thinking that he knows hes a prince because Shao Kahn anointed him as one for turning on edenia, thus making him a prince of edenia.
 
yea that could be true. It does say Kahn gives Rain his own army so it would make sense if he gives him leadership of Edenia as well

Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Smoke, Noob and others have controll over other elements and they are not demi gods. But i get your point.
