I doubt you actually have a need for him to be in MKX, but if it is so bad you can't contain it, you always have MK9 with him as DLC. If that's not enough for you, I would suggest you seek out a therapist, because it sounds unhealthy. ;)


Weren't you suggesting therapy too to another user wanting Kuai Liang? Or it was another one?

Admit it, you're paid a comission for everyone you send them :P


You can't prove anything!!! I mean... it sounds like you have the case of paranoia, making up conspiracy theories like that... you should see a therapist. >.>

I certainly hope you're wrong because Drahmin would be a perfect fit for this game and it would be a shame if they dropped the vampire race.


Drahmin was long confirmed as out of MKX, unfortunately.

But as a Rain fan, I'd like to think that we had something to do with it. ;)


I'm sure you guys did. After his positively received appearance in Armageddon, he gained more popularity. Which would've lead to a more vocal fanbase requesting him to be in the next game.

The only time Rain has really contributed anything to the series storyline was way back in Armageddon, though. He's still woefully underdeveloped otherwise.

Really sad honestly could have been much more and I think NRS purposefully created a character most fans wouldn't mind never seeing again.


No character is created to be disliked by fans. That is insanely stupid and a waste of time. Why create a character you hope people dislike when you can create one they like? That's your own thoughts jumbling around in there and I'm sure far from the truth.

As far as Rain goes he wasn't the best character in MK9 but a lot of people liked him, thought he had a cool design, and if I'm not mistaken he sold pretty well.

I'm not saying he's this big huge character that everyone loved...but he's far from the abomination you're surely acting like he was. If anything most people seem to be pretty 50/50 on him.



Your right, I can admit I am exaggerating quite a bit. I guess you could say I'm just sour about how he played in mk9. And Im not saying they messed up his design. His costume design was my top 3 favorites from mk9. But I do think his stellar design had a lot to do with his sales. Not his gameplay.

Everything aside I would love to see rain make a return in this game as well.

Before this thread makes it into oblivion (the second page lol) I wanted to suggest reasons as to why I think NRS possibly provided a joke character in Rain. It was my understanding rain was supposed to be a joke from the get go (Purple Rain) and I always thought Boon disliked the character for that reason. However Rain gained popular support and even has a large fan base, myself included. Boon knew this, thats why he knew he would sell high as a dlc and could conveniently keep him out of story mode altogether further placing him in limbo as a franchise character.

Call me a conspiracy theorist I s'pose

Sadly I have to agree. His chances are extremely low. I wouldn't put him under Art Lean though...that's for characters like Kira & Kobra I.E- Ones we'll NEVER see again for damn sure.


Well, Kira was one of the characters shown chained up in Shao Kahn's arena, which shows NRS hasn't forgot about her.

I think her chances are much better than Kobra's. As for Rain, he may be one of the returing ninjas Ed Boon alluded to. Hopefully, it's true. Considering MKX is a game relishing unique fighting styles, Rain would be perfect for it.

But Rain deserves a return. He'll be the Vegeta of MK!
