It wasn't in Spain God Damn it.

awesome vid. too many haters. can't wait for the opening movie to be released. this game will be boss.

Taven had his moments, too.
At least we're hearing delivery that isn't perpetually confused.

Superman alone could destroy the whole MK universe. It's weird seeing a Superman punch do the same damage as Sonyas when he's like 99999999999999999999999x stronger than her. Oh well it looks better then the last generation of MK games. I'll give it a shot. I'm really interested in seeing what Dark Khan looks like

After freezing Batman's hand Sub-Zero looks at him like, "Yeah, Whatever."

Again I think it would have been cool if Raiden could torpedo you through those test your might transitions.

Everyone ready?



Raiden would whip Superman's alien cheeks. haha!







5 dps to the first person who saw that comin'

FIRST! lol

And the winner is WarriorPrincess!!

hahaha...

qft. I almost shit a brick.

Darkseid is a god, and a much more intimidatingly powerful one than Raiden, and Superman gives him trouble.

but.. I think you're forgetting about all the fuckin MAGIC flyin around.



Because nobody seems to realize that not only does kryptonite hurt him. so does MAGIC


and there's a shitload of MAGIC floating around.






Yeah.. it's kind of a stupid story.. but whatever.. It'd be pretty hard to think of anything better.

Answer why you think that is, and I'd bet the facts you post up about Darksied vs Superman, will support the point I'm making about Raiden vs Superman. Might even dismiss the need for magic being a staple in this games effect on Superman to begin with.

Simply put: How many great challenges does Superman have under his belt? Then Darksied? Then Raiden? Now compare.

Keep in mind that the more we know of the character, the better assessment we are ABLE to make of the character.
--

Superman rose to the challenge against Darksied too. It's not so much here with the MK character who is also a God and an ageless guardian of an entire realm.

Weird contrast to equate that this god(Raiden) should have a problem with a mortal alien(Superman), but in his own universe, the mortal alien is revered as a god more durable, resistant, or more powerful than actual gods.

Bottom line? I'm not saying that Raiden should just run all over him. But absolutely, Superman should get his assicles kicked until he figured something out that evened the playing fields (if what he tried works for him and not against him). Even if he did happen to win the match.

But that's what Super-Man does though. He rises to challenges which solidifies his name. He doesn't omit the actual god just because we know more about Superman's challenges and victories than Raidens challenges and victories.

People say: "It's Superman, he can beat anybody."

Well, all I'm saying is, "So can Raiden, because their virtually each others equal. Realm and role-wise". The edge is God-hood though. aka Omnipotence and Rites.

I don't know about you guys, but I just love the test your might - smashing through walls thing.

The background music in the Superman vs Raiden arena is awesome!

hmmm. well, i'll admit it.


THAT TRAILER WAS FREAKIN' AWESOME! and i'm the guy who said that this game "bores" me.

Lmao that was a good laugh...

I do like this video a lot. It's cool to see the clips from Story Mode being involved in this, with big stuff to it like Superman and Raiden's showdown in the merging of Darkseid's throne room on Apokolips and Shao Kahn's in Outworld.

I admit, the feel of the Rage seems to give the characters a sense of creepiness, and something great to work with the story for why the heroes and villains of all sides would be at each other, besides the obvious safety of their universes.

The fact of the matter is that there is no logical reason Supes should have trouble dealing with Raiden, no reason at all. He's fought and defeated people with far greater feats than Raiden has ever shown and, logically, should walk all over his ass.

I have no problem with the two being roughly equal, but to say that Supes should have any kind of difficulty fighting him beyond an even fight is just fanboyish.

As much as I hate the idea for this game along with my hate for DC comics that trailer was surprisingly good.

If fighting game characters played truer to their characters it would all be horribly unbalanced.

As far as we need to know right now, Superman and Raiden are equal in power as a result of the world merge dealie.

EXACTLY, Midway has to tone down their own characters half the time. I think Raiden, Shao Kahnor even Quan Chi could definatly give Sub- Zero a run for his money.

The magic explanation is quite bad. In comic cannon, Superman can be hurt by magic, hence he's vulnerable to it (unlike MOST physical attacks), but it doesn't weaken him or anything. It's a vulnerability, unlike his real weaknesses: Kryptonite (though there are many forms), and Red sunlight...

However, Superman is sufficiently powerful to fight through even when affected by these weaknesses. This gen Superman has survived an explosion (sun eater I think it was) equivalent to 50 Supernovas WHILE being weakened by red sunlight. He's that hardcore, and that's just Post-Crisis Superman, don't even get started on Silver Age Superman, or Superman Prime.

The only Superman who would could be a potential match without a contrived explanation would be when he first appeared. Back then, he could leap 1/8th of a mile, and could be injured by tank shells. Even then, I'd put my money on him over a lot of the MK cast.

Still, it's a game so it really doesn't matter. And the Batman vs Sub-Zero movie was very cool (despite constant glowing eyes. Make it flash evilly like Queve said). Superman and Raiden was lame. They just said each others names lamely. Shame, because thematically, they are good matches for each other.

I fucking knew that raiden and superman are counterparts!

Yeh if you still think this sux, you need your head checking :)

Here you go man....



LmAo! I know I've seen you post less shallow things.

Compare and contrast man.

Raidens the better fighter, and he's the smarter and wiser fighter. So, when you proclaim that because he's beaten another bruiser like himself in Darksied, he'd automatically pwn Raiden? I'm nothing but inclined to disagree.

And don't be fooled, there is no fanboyism at play here. The actual simple fact of the matter that I'm talking about, is an inadequate abundance of information on the Mk character in question -- Raiden. Which in turn, is allowing you to conclude out of actual ignorance (which is really not your fault I guess, it's more the MkTeams fault for not supplying the fanbase enough facts about the character), that a (by definition) character of lessor caliber, is the greater of the two. Even though the God of the two is the inherent Greater of the two characters? Really?

The egg is greater than the chicken? The child is greater than the man? The hill is greater than the mountain? REALLY?

The really funny part is, you base your standpoint on the things we know about ONE character, and do not consider the lack of similar information, about the other character. Especially considering that one of these characters is more violent than the other consistently, is a hell of alot older, and is in Fact, the better fighter.

All you're saying to me is: "Because Raiden hasn't actually shown every little detail about why he's been the Protector of EarthRealm, Mentor to the champ(s), and practically the governor of all the Mortal Kombat contests for the past eternity, he must be weaker than this 35yr old mortal alien character.

LmAo! In a nutshell, that's basically what you just wrote.



This picture describes the difference between Raiden and Superman going into a Superman vs Raiden fight. Raiden's obviously the sensei in this case. By mere definition of the character, Raiden's the sensei. haha...

Note again, that I'm not saying Raiden can't loose the match (especially because we've seen Raiden loose in human form before). I don't discredit Superman one bit. BUT Superman would get beat up all the way through a fight with Raiden. And I don't even care about the outcome at this point. The Fact is, the better, smarter fighter, should win. That's Raiden here.

Where being a bigger "fanboy" of one of these characters vs the other comes into play, is when I say:

I'm sure Raiden would win the fight because he's the better fighter. He's the more intelligent, wise, and durable fighter of the two. Raiden is the more threatening, and more potent force between the two. God > Mortal

That's objective, that's unequivocal, that's a logical assessment of the two characters at play.......and mostly, that's just the fact of the matter.

I agree with Pred about Superman vs Raiden. Superman is essentially just an overpowered man who relies way too much on his powers than anything else. Strip them both of their abilities and who will be the last man standing? You guessed it. Raiden would most assuredly defeat Superman because he, as Pred has already stated, is the all round better fighter. Superman is all about throwing punches and letting his super strength do the work for him.
