Ya but roundhouses aren't even that prevelant in MK9, no reason not give rain it, its a crazy unique move that he should keep. If blandness is a problem they could give it a new fancy animation, like his foot is all electrical or something.Ugh. One of the absolute laziest "We need some new specials that require no new animations AND QUICK!" specials ever. I'd hope they could do better this time around.
I like it. Make it like Cages, Kang or KL where he can combo offa it. That would be epic. It would then be worthy to be called a roundhouse kick.It would work best as his xray.
part of a wacky, umk3-style fatality, perhaps??Considering how the revamped Kenshi, Rain will probably (hopefully) be way different from his previous incarnations however I really hope he will still have forceball and the teleport roundhouse. I also hope he can steal back his lightning strike from Nightwolf.
I could see an MK9 fatality where Rain roundhouse kicks the opponent's head off and then catches it behind him and holds it up.part of a wacky, umk3-style fatality, perhaps??
He takes stance. And starts roundhouse kicking you in the face, each kick spins you around, faster and faster until it starts to whip up a tornado that pulls you up off the ground where you subsequently get twisted and ripped apart by the wind. For the grand, comically violent finale, the tornado pulls up into the sky and dies off, raining your blood/entrails down on him from the sky as he takes his victory stance. (insert Slayer joke here)
Maybe stuffing it down their headless neck.I could see an MK9 fatality where Rain roundhouse kicks the opponent's head off and then catches it behind him and holds it up.
This!Yes. I want this. I want to be able to hit-confirm a super roundhouse, kick the opponent full screen away, have him appear from the other side and then continue to combo him. So epic.
