Right, his capture state is so good for characters who have forward advancing or long ranged attacks you can jail with. His grenades are decent combo fodder and his overhead and low are great to tack onto the end of strings on block, such a solid kameo all around.
My biggest MK flex is that my Rain and Rain/Stryker gameplay/gameplan is different than Sonic’s. So many ppl thought I picked him up because of Sonic….but no. I saw them portals and was like, “No way a pro uses them like I will. Challenge Accepted!” And here I am now, the worst Rain in existence.
@@grph1t3zyou seem like the type of weirdo that waits to tell people this in a comment section where people comment about stuff, and on stuff that nobody ever really asks for in the first place. Spend your time better, my child.
All I know is that reptile and striker is awesome. Even though you can’t really use striker as a combo extender, he literally makes reptiles low lunge gator roll, into a non punishable because the grenades impacting after the special. I commented before I saw the video so I can only imagine that’s what rain can do.
i can see why Stryker is a good Kameo for Rain, but i really just dont fuck with the Cop paired with a Wizard aesthetic😅 not to mention i just dont think the gameplan is all that entertaining compaired to other kameos
Bro nobody cares about aesthetic and having a cool or fun game plans when your trying to win tourneys that run hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, you want to win. Maybe it applies to your common mid self but when your talking to of the top nobody cares about that
I'm not going to lie, I usually go for Rewind over Ninjakilla to beat Sonic. This exchange in the beginning though seems like Sonic might as well have been playing me and I haven't played Mortal Kombat 1 yet.
Before the tourney i was allready having my eye on rain/stiker cuz he goes pretty good with rain, better pressio, better zooning, 50'50's he's just perfect with rain
Honestly if this Lui Kang just shoot more fireball. He is too prideful.wanta to close the distance. He got Laos hat and Kangs fireball but he just keeps going in.
@HUNK1610 doesn't this go both ways? Too much fire water evaporates. Too much water, flames get put out? Unless we're talking about pokemon here, then nvm.
Stryker is so stupid, he covers nearly every option you have. He breaks armour, he hits your kameo as well, he covers ridicelous space and keeps you plus.
Here's proof to prove that whiners like you kill games like these. Street fighter 6 on launch had several characters who were, "broken." Manon being one of them, people cried to nerf her, but the devs won't patch the game until a year has passed between them. Now Manon is considered bottom 5, if not worse. Tldr: you're honestly the baby who cries that the other kid used a op ability when they fairly beat them. Lab the game 🗑
cameos making unsafe attacks safe is so cheap😑 and also stealing the turn plus if you get hit it also combos... mk11 had new game mechanics which ended up cheap unfair, and now mk1 is going the same direction
@@deadliftdevotion15 I mean...honestly is he that suppressive even with those grenades? Hes not like prepatched Cyrax or low hat Lao. I mean really does he need a Darrius like charge rate? Strykers damage isnt absurd either. Hes just...kind of disruptive like say..Sareena...but thats my opinion though. Plus eventually the Omni-man meta is going to develop more and Rain may overtime get pressured harder due to anti Zoning and maybe the future takeda? If hes anything like he was in MKX. Its all so curious lol. I dont think Striker is OP though. It would be a strange nerf.
@@Simon-Sax I think Stryker grenades is one of the best moves in the game honestly. Cool-down is a little short imo, I main Johnny + Stryker. Being able to db3 into grenades every 10 seconds is crazy. Combo on hit, raw shadow kicks in neutral become safe. Apart from his grenades not working sometimes with weird placement issues, and advancing moves avoiding them. I think he’s one of the best kameos for sure
Old cyrax took 15 seconds to return horizontal and it was a high, did more chip tho. Grenades are mids and take 10 seconds. So you can spam it way more with Stryker and it’s full screen. Cyrax added mad damage pre patch which was why so busted
The damage was not really what made him so strong, it was more about him extending block strings to create situations where you are plus on block while still doing alot of chip damage. Sure you can spam grenades more often but Rain is pretty much always gonna use his grenades to cover his gaps between water beam cancel or cover something like his wake up armor move, thats why i said its pretty much a worst version of pre patch cyrax because he could allow you to do all of that and more and on top of that it is much easier to convert into combos with cyrax than Stryker as with striker you pretty much have to call him in at the same time as doing your string.
Come on fox I watched the first round of the first lui Kang match and had to pause and make this comment. You wrong for making that video other day about rain being mid tier. Who you think you fooling it's still way unfair fir you to be using him lol. At this point you gotta fight with scorpion or sub zero since you say they the worst two characters. Niggas ain't got a chance against rain
I mean, if you want to play the meta of pressure, safety, and kombo extensions, then yeah. But just because you were sleeping on Stryker doesn't all of a sudden make him great. He's been great since day one. It's just that nobody likes his ugly ass and nobody wants to play as the police unless all you are worried about is the W. This will be the case after a majority of SF fanbase sees this video and sees how broke Stryker can be.
Yeah he's a pretty boring character. Of course people are gonna pay more attention to the cybernetic ninja dude or a cool Shaolin hat dude that has been a main character for 2 decades.
I’ve been maining Stryker since day one… don’t you come around here causing trouble now!!!! We don’t want any problems 😂
Right, his capture state is so good for characters who have forward advancing or long ranged attacks you can jail with. His grenades are decent combo fodder and his overhead and low are great to tack onto the end of strings on block, such a solid kameo all around.
Definitely an under used kameo. Fingers crossed the pros don't use him as a cyrax replacement and get him nerfed
This is how I felt when he said sindel is probably his new main
Fr fr ppl Finna use Stryker nie 😂
Nah, KUNG LAO is the the Cyrax replacement, mofo is everywhere on KL now.
My biggest MK flex is that my Rain and Rain/Stryker gameplay/gameplan is different than Sonic’s. So many ppl thought I picked him up because of Sonic….but no. I saw them portals and was like, “No way a pro uses them like I will. Challenge Accepted!” And here I am now, the worst Rain in existence.

The fact that rewind recognised the situation and thought of that to avoid the launch is impressive, but still hilarious 😂😂😂
The water beam dash cancel three times in a row as a rain player had my jaw on the floor
at what time stamp ?
Any character you play is so saucy but your rain in particular is just pure sauce ☔️💯
Ofcourse coz he's a gunslinger, Sonic misses Erron Black 😅
The quick restarts, it reminds of me and mate playing 😂

Stryker has the best fatal blow animations
ye i know right
Fun fact: he also deals more damage to black people

no tf he doesn't ???? are u SLOW in the head??
Rain gives me visions of Cetrion.
Just using tech Roethor has been using since Day 1. Meh.
WHy is rewind not spaming Low Hat? so weird its like his cameo button disabled
This rain is looking even more op and on point now, i think it's ready to go for another dub in a major tourney
Yooo Let's get a 6arakin rematch so you can wipe the floor with him again
the fact that rewind barely used lao low hat is baffling. It woulda checked sonic a bit at least.
i been on that, i feel like a genius. finally you made a video on him!
Kano a really good kameo with rain due the striker similar assist and the kano ball is good for set ups and pressure
9:32 STOP IT SONIC!!!
I still use Rain with Cyrax. I hate that they nerfed Cyrax.
Before the tourney i was allready having my eye on rain/stiker cuz he goes pretty good with rain, better pressio, better zooning, 50'50's he's just perfect with rain
I been using the kombo Rain/stryker since they nerfed cyrax. Stryker is able to do what cyrax qas able to do for him plus some more mix
I miss the old rain, im not really feeling high mage rain. His specials look cool though
Yeah this really could've been another character
@@StevelyBruckShutIt canonically is just the Rain that Lui envisioned, so technically he is another character.
Agreed, Ninja Rain was prime
They took his swag and gave it to Smoke
nobody gives af, just get good
I knew that one day you were going to realize that Stryker is the guy, he has it all. Btw Sonic what do u think about kenshi/stryker?
Can you get the hard to block able with Stryker if you do handcuffs?
He’s the new kameo for everybody…except me. I use my girl Frost now!

Nah 67-7 is crazy
No way that reads correct lol right?? 😢😅
Where can you see that?😂

Those win/loss records ain't making no sense. Why edit the score?
I saw the tier list you had for rain there no way right ??? Lmaoo
Try winning with rain on Kombat league , see how it goes .
Why my man rewind don't break combos?
I prefer the lightning fast wave dash MK11 Rain
why does the screen turn green when you have a X-Ray combo or fatality????
People complain that is blood so they make it green for kids I think
YT demonetization
Bit confused how the in game scoreboard has it? Lol
Cyrax is the best kameo for Rain.
stryker cage is goat duo
YO WHAT IS THAT W/L RATIO?????????? 😨
I like that
I hope they make Stryker a playable character 😢
Damn, Rain combos without Scorpion just feels incomplete 😭.
Is this Kameo Top 5?
Top 3
cameos making unsafe attacks safe is so cheap😑 and also stealing the turn plus if you get hit it also combos... mk11 had new game mechanics which ended up cheap unfair, and now mk1 is going the same direction
Once again I was not invited
Just remember 60% od furries are also on the registry
Man players really need to start wave dashing to close the gap on good Rains. Otherwise you are a sitting duck.
