The only thing I dislike about Rain's b + 3,4 string is that he CLEARLY kicks the opponent in their foot, but it's labeled a "Mid" attack. I've always disliked it when moves are labeled one hit property when it clearly looks like another one 😂.

I'm so glad two of my mains, Reptile and Rain got some nice changes. I hope they keep getting better and better.

I feel like they are slowly completing characters out of what feels like them in an early access state. Rain and reptile look so fun now. Ermac is proof what they can do with time. He is the most freestyle character by far and we need that for others bigtime. Kameos should complement not be required for the base roster.

@@sondertales6762I’m glad that I don’t have to feel weird about being a Raiden main anymore. I’ve been Raiden/Jax since day 1 so I never abused storm cell. The only thing that really changed for me is that they buffed the DB2 special. Can’t wait to play around with it and see I can implement it.

So much new stuff for tons of characters, Reptile also got so much new stuff. MK1 just keeps getting better and better!

Rain got new moves and might be top 10. Quan Chi got new moves and moved up the tierlist, and Liu Kang has stayed consistently good throughout. All three of my mains in this game are really good… this might be the first time I’ve had this happen. In MK11, I loved so many characters but they were all low-tier, I had struggles with so many match ups but I was trying to have fun in a game that *wasnt* fun.

What were the scorpion players requesting?

I like the way they allow Geyser + Up to also do the far geyser, makes it much more intuitive to use kameos that require a held up, like scorpion. Nice touch, might have always been the case but I never consciously recognised it. Edit: You can also combo B3 into Rain God to get some swaggy stuff midscreen. What I would give for a different input for that though.

Thank you Ketchup, Rain is probably my second favourite character in Mortal Kombat 1 and your explanations help allot on how the changes will benefit him, and us as well of course.

Also keep in mind that B3 on hit is PLUS 28!! You have time to walk your dog, take a shower, come back and still jail into a standing one

This is such a powerful video! With Rain and Reptile in addition to Ermac and Peacemaker along with some of the more fleshed out cast, we are beginning to see the game Netherealm wanted to release and I am getting excited.

One of the few youtubers I insta likes the vid! Great kontent as always! 🍻🍻

I love you, Ketchup. You're always making my favorite character 10 times better ❤

Fantastic day to be a Rain main

So many cool kharacters in this game, its very hard to pick one to main. I love it!

Just thinking about using the confluence beam in the corner for an extra launcher, god I loved rain before and this just makes me happier

It was always awkward for me to only get Geyser as a ranged punish, especially if I needed to do a micro-dash into Far Geyser to even trade for chip damage! The new low string helps so much with that!. The bug fix to the dash cancel's inability to block is also VERY impactful. I'd always be miffed that I reacted to Reiko's EX Stars, but couldn't block it.

This is awesome. I played Rain a lot and he was the first character i got max mastery through just playing. I stopped using him because his combos were just too repetetive. I will come back to him and try out some new stuff. Super glad he got new strings.

I just realized Rain was in yellow while Ermac was in Red...Clever

Sonicfox taking notes

Dope video as always, 1 question, what’s the opti in the corner if you only have cyrax for net but not the 114 extender?

I'm more happy Reptile got some small yet giant buffs, that skydrop cancel is nuts for making everything he does safe now and with a proper and crazy fast full screen projectile to boot makes him feel so fresh. Plus his standing 3 got a sneaky buff where you can actually cancel it mid way and it has enough hitstun to start combos with now (with it's extended range it's almost a start of round hit now)

Been waiting on this video.

Gonna try that team cuz i played rain in all mk series and glad that he got buffed

That zoom in on the F2 having T-Rex reach cracked me up.

Congrats on 200K subs!!!!!! 😎😎👍👍

8:00 You can do 1,1 after the cancel, but you have to wait a bit more before pressing so you don’t cancel the dash. It has pretty wacky timing

Love his cancels buff. Used to need cyrax for this but not anymore!

This is the exact effect that makes zoners so strange in Smash compared to other fighting games, with only a few exceptions they ALL have burst options, whiff punishes, and up close combo starters like this

Love your vids as always K&M. But i do really really miss seeing you guys play online against other players on here.

significant patch i wouldnt say. but there are some good changes

I hope we get some small Havik sauce when they release the second wave of DLC for Titan Havik. I'd like to be able to dash cancel out of EX Helping Hand

any other combo ender aside from that double puddle thingy?

Can anybody tell me if raiden was nerfed or buffed at all? I did notice a change in his overload brutality, now I have to do the enhanced version of electromagnetic storm + up, instead of non enhanced

Doing F21 cancel into B3 Cyrax net is honestly VERY solid! Anything into Cyrax net is pretty op

They should still buff more characters, but it's always nice to see new things being added to characters

These are some really cool buffs, just crossing my fingers Nitara receives a similar treatment. Now that I think about it, he can kind of play a bit like smoke now with better zoning but worse mix

I hope you'll cover Shujinko buffs

that cyrax copter is so hard to hit in the corner, any tips?

For my fellow Rain mains, b3 can be special canceled into ddu (rain god) and if you're close enough, you can get a jump combo for more meterless damage. Also 211 can be dash canceled into 211 again.
