Ok, I just played as Rain there. Then I played as Sub-Zero. And I've come to my own conclusion that Sub-Zero's actually the faster feeling character of the two.

When I tried Rain online he was slaughtered by that lag. I'm avoiding online as him until I've figured out how to make the most of him.

Oddly, I'm let down by him so far. His ending was great, his costume is great, and his story is superb, but he's feeling way too clunky to even be considered as a main for me so far and that alone is enough to put me off playing as him. Kitana, Mileena, and Reptile have nothing to worry about in that regard. From what I've managed to pull off, he's capable of causing a fair bit of damage. But that's against a still AI. Human opponent's will slaughter me as him.

Good to see you!
Sounds like they might have been worried about Rain being OP like in MKT,
so they went the other way and nerfed him too much!

Hopefully they will fix that, or people will figure out how to work with it...

I'm going to give it my all!

The enhanced Water Bubble only adds 2% damage (up from 0%). I don't think it has a longer duration. If it does, it's minuscule.

I'll say this, timing is very crucial with him. The timing on the return from the Super Kick, and the timing required when they drop from the Water Bubble, also the X-Ray return. He's very tricky to play.

Is he out yet?

anyone know any good combos to combo into after the roundhouse or bubble? :)

just read an article that was posted 46 minutes ago that says he is available for PSN , but i havent been able to check yet . its 3:10pm here

http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/61276/Mortal-Kombat-Rain-DLC-and-Skin-Bonus

This article states he wont be available until TOMORROW !

I just checked PSN and cannot find Rain.

I'll go check

what why?

THERE WILL BE BLOOD.

i was so pumped to get Rain, this really sux. i don't play sub bc he's so slow, and rain is even slower if thats the case, imma skip rain. my favorite character has finally become DLC and than they make him slower than sub zero, 2bad 4me

Idk maybe im just too anxious & finding things that i shouldnt .... But if Rain isnt here today , Im gonna perform my own fatality . Or maybe it'll be a hara-kiri

Just got a no xray 45% combo pulled off with him there. If I get used to his timing I might be able to pull off a 50% with no xray.

Timing is crucial with this character. Still figuring out how best to use his enhanced moves. EDIT: 57% combo (his xray leaves enough space to follow through with another attack) jump forward 1,4, 3, enhanced lightning, 4, 3,enhanced roundhouse, 4,3 Xray, Geyser Kick. Bear in mind this is just experimenting with the practice mode full meter. I personally wouldn't mind them nerfing down some of his attacks in exchange for him being slightly quicker. For a hydrokinetic warrior, he's not the most fluid in regards to movement.

45%-50% combo's are definitely being nerfed, twice that combo and you can begin your fatality and still have a full x-ray bar.

dam...so he still isn't out for psn??...i have 360 but still...that's not kool...why do they have to alternate which platform they disadvantage with every DLC release??

As it was in Trilogy

What are the differences in his Enhanced moves?
Esp. the Water Jet, Geyser Kick, and Water Bubble

No fucking joke! They could have at *least* had it go the other way! (Skarlet and Rain fan)

There shall be BLOOD! *loading gun* I'm going to hold NRS hostage! Each hour Rain is not included yet into the PlayStation Store, someone's gonna die!

Y'all can wait one more day for Rain. It's just a day.

HUR DUR

Meh, I had to wait to Wednesday anyways...

If I had a 360 during the Kenshi crisis, I would have blown a fuckin' lid.

However, one day is really not that big of a deal. If this is true, I feel bad for the PS3 Rain crew.

I can wait a day.....I'll just play Folklore or something.

That article is for Europe. PSN always updates on Wednesdays there.

Geyser Kick: 12% anti air, enhanced is 16% and hits a total of 3 times.

Jet Spray: 8% attack with pushback, enhanced is 12%.

Lightning Summon: 3% with very high pop-up, enhanced is 8% with 3 hits and the same effect.

Bubble: Normal does no damage, but allows you to juggle enemy. Enhanced does 2% damage

Roundhouse: 7% and knocks opponent off side of screen, enhanced does 11%

H20 powerup: Increases hit power but disables blocking. Enhanced causes armour effect.

Thank god I'm not in Europe

So good news, I was able to download him... My xbox live account is still frozen, but it will still connect... basically just to tell me "Your account is frozen, GTFO" BUT... since Rain was already PAID for, and since the option to download him is in the main MK menu, I was able to just go into that, start the download, and I got the "Your account is locked, GTFO" message, but the Rain download still started and continued without a hitch... So... happy day. I have him. I can't play online, but I have him.
