my top 5 rain's designs / costumes (MK) of all time: #5: MKX's base costume #4: MK11's base costume (the perfect storm variant) #3: MK11's hidden argus costume #2: MK armageddon's base costume #1: MK9's base costume
Even though I love me some Prince (and purple is my favorite color as well lol) I never cared for Rain much (Even more so when he became an Edenian traitor. I think in UMK3 or Trilogy he was good and his ending said he went on a suicide mission to destroy Shao Kahn to save everyone. I wish they kept his character good IMO) but my favorite costumes from him have always been from Armageddon and his MK9 costume has always been my favorite. It's just so smooth and suave! It's criminal they didn't bring that look back. Still hoping you do Death Traps ranked in the new year.
Seriously, I feel as though Rain's designs through the years improved while his writing got less interesting. I think him being loyal to his adoptive father and betraying Shao and decimating his forces with sheer power after finding out Shao killed him is way more interesting than "oh yeah he's just kinda power hungry idk". I feel like his writing is the worst in MK1 where he doesn't even have a reason to desire power because hes so underdeveloped/not used well in the story. They tried to flesh him out in his ending but now we still don't know why he specifically betrayed Sindel and why does he all of a sudden feel bad about hurting people when he literally betrayed his second family. Idk it just makes me salty as a massive Rain fan

What can I say They turn me on … I don't care where we go I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby Just take me with you … Come on and touch the place in me That's calling out your name We want each other oh so much Why must we play this game? … Don't care where we go I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby Just take me with you … I don't care if we spend the night at your mansion I don't care if we spend the night on the town All I want is to spend the night together All I want is to spend the night in your arms … To be around you is so right You're sheer perfection (thank you) Drive me crazy, drive me all night Just don't break up the connection … I don't care where we go I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby Just take me with you … I don't care where we go I don't care what we do I don't care pretty baby Just take me with you … Just take me with you Oh won't you take me with you Honey, take me with you Also, if you dont know, this is a song from the album purple rain

Hey Nick. I have a question for you. How do you think of the variation names for each of the characters? When I just can’t think of something I just use your ideas. Sorry for copying and pasting your names. I just couldn’t think of anything.
Hey! Don’t dis MK Annihilation! It’s a bad movie, sure, but it’s an extremely funny & entertaining movie too! I put it in the same so bad it’s good category as Super Mario Bros movie, Batman & Robin, as well as the 2 MK TV series. Oh, and just FYI, the 95 costume isn’t a bad design. However I think it looks more closer to his appearance in MK Conquest which has the MK movie style garbs. He fought and beaten Kung Lao in a fight until he was injured, and later he was pursued by Siro and almost beaten him until Kitana intervened. So, think of his 95 costume as being more similar to his MK Conquest appearance.
Hmm I think that Rain especially in MK11 is inspired by India, since katar is a weapon from this region, not Persia or North Africa. But it is just a nitpick.
Literally, as im typing this, it's raining outside my house
Same
Me too
Same here too
Literally 😂😂😂
Omg, I just figured out the ironic genius of this

Nice job ranking Rain :) I can still see MKX rain with his katar

@3:25 When I saw Ermac and Rain get '95 skins instead of actual movie appearance skins, I thought the same thing 😂
What a shame they didn't put it in mkx 😢😢

What if @Rainwavez was in this ranking video ? Also, I could definitely see Smoke rocking the full mask look.
You forgot the mk1 umk3 remake of him
Rain it was better that bo rai cho and tremor in mkx
It was raining last night where im from
U forgot the psvita exclusive skin
Fully agree with this one tbh.
The fact that Rain wasn't playable in MKX still pisses me off to this day
