MK9 – Rain Gameplay Trailer

Who is that purple ninja with the intimidating power of lightning and the not-so-intimidating power of water? Its Rain. See the full gameplay trailer below and let us know what you think by sounding off in the comments. Rain should be released on July 19th on PSN and XBL.

The water effects are much cooler than I expected.

OK, I am impressed…I was going to say he’s a Smoke clone but I was wrongly mistaken. Good Job guys, this is the best MK yet.
Exalted-1

Though it’s disappointing that we have another DLC character that doesn’t have voice lines

  I’m kind of guessing that they wanna keep the size of the download as small as possible, so are leaving out sound files.

Fucking Boss… i have to say im very impressed by the “boldness” on bringing back those inflation fatalities. The bubble move is also great, really really great.
Windsagio

Dunno whether to be happy or sad its changed, the last version of rain was kind of… fey.
- xStingy
  
  His pose after his entrance spin is kind of…….fey.
  
  So is his 3 hit launcher.

“Yeeeeaaaahhhh….!!!”

This news discussion fails!

Glorious. Was never a big fan of the roundhouse, but he looks goddamn awesome so I’ll take it. Can’t wait for next week! He and Kenshi are looking like my new alternate tag team

  “Was never a big fan of the roundhouse”
  
  Wat.

Its raining man……ALELUYA!!!!
dancingphlower

This is too awesome…
clue2025

He came in like Hard Gay… then just went hard. I was waiting in anticipation for the roundhouse and saw it and got hype.
style210

Rain has some rather female like movements… I literally spit out my drink when he did that entrance spin and pose. In my head I heard him say “fabulous” lol. He might be batting for the wrong team, but I will definitely play him.
- ManRightChea
  
  I wouldn’t say feminine, but Rain has always been an eccentric character.
- cliffeside
  
  lol i thought the same thing
  - Dedemaru
    
    One word: Prince
Diernes

looks cool actually.
ManRightChea

Damn, MK is not f-cking around anymore, that was impressive. If NRS can inject a bit more depth and advanced fighting technicality into the fighting engine, the next MK will be the best in history. I know people discredit MK9, but the game is very polished and the engine refined and in depth. I was a doubter at first, but playing is believing. I just want to see more advanced fighting engine techniques in the future.
Realpolitix

Super soaked that hoe.
- Dedemaru
  
  lol
Peteylicious

Makes me wonder if his xray is a low hit like sindel’s or simply regular ranged like ermac.
Looking better than I thought he would. I was expecting MK-Armaggedon-like fail

  a lot.

Glad to see my favorite character from UMK3 come back with his moves intact no less. Definitly the first DLC I will be getting for this game. Control ball made my day.
Misdreavus

Purple is the master color.
- Windsagio
  
  TRUTH!
JoontheBaboon

They made him “pretty”.
boyonweed

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. LOVE IT that water inflation fatality is fuckin awesome, AND they gave him his roundhouse <=O

NO DOUBT imma be using this watery little dude.
Togakure Ninja

Super Roundhouse looks like a special move to me. That’s cool. Opens up some neat juggles. Overall impressed.
HuStLeMaN17

Purple Lightning/Thunder that comes down from the sky looks gorgeous!
MilesRiey

Wow… just wow… I was expecting him to be awesome just as he was in MKT… this is like, beyond awesome. They really gave some pretty cool water moves to him, I’m gonna main him.
Anyway… now there’s only the 4th unnamed character. Can’t wait to see Jason in action.
damienjeffgomez

is it just me or does rain seem kind of gay……Shout outs to double RAINbows
Dude Meister

“Where there are clouds, there is RAIN!”

Was hopping his roundhouse was more awesome, expected to see a lightning vortex to explain the screen shift
janoDX

MAKE IT RAIN BITCH!
King Rizz

They should name one of his fatalities ‘Raspberry Beret’.
Tension

Dat roundhouse!

Did he just tasmanian devil in during his pre-fight intro?
YanDaMan

So now we’ve got…

An undead flame ninja (Scorpion)
A ice ninja (Sub-Zero)
A shadow ninja (Noob-Saibot)
A smoke ninja (Smoke)
A psychic ninja (Ermac)
A reptilian ninja (Reptile)
A blood ninja (Skarlet)
A few robot ninjas (Sektor/Cyrax)
And now we have a water ninja.

What else we missing?
- MilesRiey
  
  Tremor – An earth ninja
  He’s an actual MK character, he only appeared in MK Special Forces but never in a MK fighting game.
  I think he would be pretty cool in this game, being able to create earthquakes, powers of sand and earth would be something I’d like to see.
- cliffeside
