I bring up Smoke's Projectile because it's THE PERFECT analogy-
SMOKE can turn into smoke- he doesn't have the ability to turn *others* to smoke, and yet, that's exactly what his projectile is doing.

If that works, why is it so hard to believe that Rain is using hurrucane-force winds to blow the opponent over there?

ALSO- being knocked "around the world"? Yeah, it doesn't say that *anywhere*. It could simply be around the room.

Um. What? If I start on one side of the room and walk all the way to the other side, I don't come out back where I started. What the fuck, do you live in PacMan?

And why can't Smoke turn you into Smoke? He's a Smoke demon, after all. I'd buy that just as easily as I'd buy Rain turning you into water, which I hope he can do.

No, he merely had the sense to not try to reason with idiots.

Nightcrawler can teleport himself and whoever's touching him at the moment.

It's not too big of stretch to accept that Smoke can do something along those lines.

Yeah,it's a bullshit rationalization,but at least it's something. Like I said before,you can't make kicking someone around the globe make sense.

Ah,that must be why the opponent flies off the screen and comes flying in from behind you.

The fucking Flash in MKvsDC could run around the world in a second,but at least that made sense,because that's what the Flash does.

If it was just a super-powered roundhouse that knocked the opponent on the other side of the room,we wouldn't be having this inane argument.

LMAO at Kenshi's hair.

What the hell? Really? All I'm saying is that if they don't change the roundhouse at all, it is a silly attack. If they change the animation, it doesn't have to be so silly. That's all I'm saying. And you're calling me an idiot? Good day, sir. I'd rather talk to Ahnka about Kenshi's hair.

Funny thought- Rain is almost *guaranteed* to have the Super Roundhouse, or some variation of it.

Hating it will only make it that much more irritating for you (and satisfying for me) when I knock you around with it grin

confusedwhat are you go about
she does have a alternate costume
many people posted her alternate costume take a look for yourself http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTj4sbykyU0V8bg_9rRTJLIts_72ixYixxt0JpSdBvHGqZl_b5EjA

Dude, I don't care if he HAS it. I just hope it has SOMETHING to do with storms. But I've only been saying that for 3 pages, so whatever. It's not like you're actually reading my posts. And furthermore... I SAID GOOD DAY!

Without me fueling the argument, the TWO people who dislike the move will simply have to deal with its existence. The move will be there, and I'm not going to be the one upset about that wink

Rain looks great. I was afraid he would look too much like the ninja palette swap look, but it's actually not that bad. Nice done, NRS. ^^


What exactly would the "ninja palette swap" look be in this game?


Well, that would be how Scorpion and Sub-Zero looks like. Noob is somewhat like it, Reptile's alternate outfit is also somewhat like it, Ermac's look has moved away from the look.

Rain's look is also somewhat like it. It's the hood, the mask, the V vest and the loincloth which makes the look. Rain seems to have those things, but it wasn't as bad looking as I feared.

My wish is that those characters will sooner or later develop a completely unique look from one another and still look cool. Ermac's alternate outfit fits him perfectly, and he doesn't look like a palette swap in it. That's the greatest example of what I hope for the other characters as well.

But doesn't "palette swap" literally mean that their appearance is exactly the same, but with swapped colors? Pretty sure it does...


Yes, but I am of course referring to their look from the past games where they indeed were palette swaps. Their current outfits look like their palette swap look, and that's what I was hoping they wouldn't. Of course, that's what alternate outfits are for.

I'm glad we can agree on that smile

And I apologize for snapping earlier-
I just felt like I had given all the explanation needed (for myself, anyway),
and I was getting tired of saying the same shit over and over to two different people.

FWIW, it's pretty safe to assume there will be *some* weather/water explanation for the move in this game. But, having monitored the "Rain Pulse" on this forum for months, that is *definitely* his most wanted "klassic" move, so you can bet it will return in some fashion. The tornado thing I mentioned seems like one of the more plausible explanations for that effect... it should definitely involve wind, not portals, IMO.

As mentioned before, Rain's never been one for making portals.

Kenshi looks badass, but the hair and the face need to be fixed.

Rain is so fucking badass.

Classic Noob and Smoke are epic.

As someone who never really liked or disliked Rain in the first place, I got to say two of the people in this thread are giving Rain a really bad name by being so ultra-defensive and single-minded.

I love how I wasn't even in the fight but yet I'm being labeled as ultra-defensive and single minded.

I don't know about you guys, but I ready to kick someone so fucking hard they break the speeds of sound and light and travel through space and time with such a high velocity they open up a rift directly behind me only to be kicked again.


Hopefully.

Shit, that was harsh. Any of those stabs I made at you earlier were in complete jest BECAUSE you weren't humoring me. I think this whole thing is ridiculous, which I've been trying to make clear with all of the movie/tv/pacman humor. All I fucking wanted was ANYONE to acknowledge that I'm not speakng gibberish over here. The whole time, I've just been saying they should reanimate his roundhouse kick (I even provided ways they could do this) which we all fucking agree about anyways so I don't understand what everyone is flipping shit about. And for the record, I genuinely think that Kenshi's new hair looks stupid. I'm sorry that you read that as a snarky stab at you, but it isn't what I meant. We are on the same fucking side, we all like Rain, we all want his attacks to not relegate him to joke status, we all think he looks badass. Stop antagonizing me like I'm not making sense. drpvfx and I just made up. What's your deal?
