From Ed Boon on Twitter:

"Looks like today is the 5 year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death & the 30 year anniversary of Prince's movie "Purple Rain""

I know it's been posted in our Twitter-thread, but i think it deserves an own thread :D

I think he makes the cut. But i hope he gets a better Story. I'm glad we have some fighters with elements. Maybe Rain get announced next time :)

Better Story?

Rain is one of those characters that has an awesome background and his narcism is open to all kinds of awesome future storylines.

I hope he isn't a ninja in this game, more like his Armageddon's design, and a ninja suit like in mk9 for his alternative. I want to see some hair on this vain character, all vain characters have long hair. I'm not a big fan of his MK9 design.

Anyway I hope its true, but i'm 95% that Ed Boon is just trolling with us, he hates Rain so this is too good to be true...

Rain has this story that can evolve into everything as its not fully evolved yet because Boon hates him.

But his story is already much more promising than Scorpions endless vengeance and Mileena & Kitana's endless story together.

I hope Rain and Tanya get something together (not romantic) and start something interesting.

I would love it if Rain got another chance. He clearly has a dedicated fan base and he was one of the most requested characters for both the main roster and DLC. I can honestly see Rain and Tanya being the traitor duo. I think it would be cool and would add something to his story. I'm all for Rain.

Rain has so much potential. He'd be a great inclusion.

Plus he is in my top 3 for sure.

And please Ed Boon and Rain haters, drop the Purple Rain song thing please.

Scorpion is based on Ghostrider, Kitana on Prinses Peach and Sektor and Cyrax modelled after Predator and Terminator...

So what difference does it make that Rain was called after a song? Its freaking, fucking damn original, that is! Much more original that named/based on another character!

I wished more characters were based after song titles, I love that creativity! But too bad Boon sees it as joke, he sees everything as joke, except for Scorpion and Sub-Zero...

Maybe, but he's still alot better character than GR.

Kitana on Prinses Peach


You kidding me. the only thing Kitana and Peach have in common is that theyre both princesses, thats it.

Nope, that would be the Cyber Sub Zero case.

Don't really see how that hints Rain. But Rain is one of my favorites. So I'd welcome him of course. But he should be the new King of Outworld.

Uhm... they both are kind and want respect, they are both about butterflies and flowers and they both want to save the world.

but yeah, I was joking, I just think they are the same type of characters, the beautiful princess that needs saving and who is for respect and peace...

Seriously what came up first in my mind when I read it.

Vainy characters? lol wtf Rain's MK 9 costume was good as hell, his MK armageddon outfit looked like a ball dress for real, hes suposed to be masculine, not femenine.

Deal with it.

That is your opinion, I have mine. DEAL WITH IT.

I never said he must be feminine, does long hair make you feminine? Vega is also muscular but long haired and vain. I'm just sick of all these ninja's staying ninja's forever

You really think "you dare approach me", "you will learn respect", "you are a monstrosity", or "I will drag you to Shao Kahn by your pointed beard." is kind, lolwut. Plus theres tons of other princesses in fiction that have a personality closer to Kitana than Peach, so why her.

DVorah Wrote:
"they are both about butterflies and flowers>


Since when was Kitana about butterflies and flowers. Nobody really knows what stuff is she interested in other than peace, her homeworld and her edenian people. For all we know she could be interested in collecting the heads of her victims on a bookshelf

DVorah Wrote:

Again theres lots of other princesses that want to save the world, why Peach.

Good to know.

Some people just can't see past the first impression.

Rain is one of my favourite characters, so hinting to him being in MKX is awesome. ^^

Turn Rain into Vegeta! Make him an anti-hero/anti-villain!

I could see Rain as the anti-Liu Kang.

Rain would never be good tho. He is the traitor king, no sense in making him a hero or anti-hero.
