MK1 Rain Guide Part 2. Portals, Combo Cancels, and Unblockables. How to play Rain Mortal Kombat 1

[@whoknows5093]

6:45 , Man I would absolutely love a video on subzeros timing. I love playing rain-sub but the timing on landing his kameo is sooooooo inconsistent for me,especially online but man when you pull it off it feels like rain is top tier.

[@ThtstragicGaming]

I got you! Ill start working on it for ya

[@timothygrieco6568]

Thanks!! Yeah same, I can't get the freeze to work mid combo consistently.

[@ThtstragicGaming]

@@timothygrieco6568 I got y'all I'll start working on it tomorrow. I was grinding rank all day today and got some good footage. I'll take some time to do scorpion and sub in one video tomorrow. Will be posted in day or two

SMTV! great video!

[@nugzmedallion8929]

Thank you for the knowledge that I can do the hard-to-blockable with Scorpion as well. I only knew about the setup with Sub but I like Scorpion kameo SO much more for Rain, it's just so easy to extend with Scorpion. I will be sure to use this for evil purposes, thanks.

[@ThtstragicGaming]

Np. Happy to help. And yea scorpion gets you that nice damage extension. And with Raiden and baraka hitting 50% one bar. The unblockable is needed

Brother 💪 in my macho man voice

[@lv3234]

thanks so much for this

[@zuberi17]

The two portal projectile is good on paper it will break sub zeros ice armor and can be special cancelled. The problem is you don't get more gravity and the damage sucks

[@ThtstragicGaming]

Doesn't seem viable

[@zuberi17]

@@ThtstragicGaming I agree just some knowledge for my rain mains that are struggling like me

[@almurphy6484]

Been using Goro as my main kameo, combo challenge led me to him, but now Scorpion seems mandatory as an easy option to chain off of geysers

[@ThtstragicGaming]

Goro doesn't seem as good as scorpion. Scorpion provides so much. He can even make a few combos safe on block with fwd Kameo move. I need to put out a vid showing that as well

[@TreRaye]

What's the timing on the scorpion up kameo for the combo at 3:20 ? Thank you in advanced.

[@ThtstragicGaming]

I normally try to input scorpion before geyser. I won't be back on game tonight. Tomorrow I'll double check and comment back if that's 💯

[@ThtstragicGaming]

Or right after I think. It's either right before or after. I'll double check in morning

Can you do a video on his overhead cancel? I wanted to run with rain day1 but it wasn’t much tech on him until more recently and I couldn’t figure it out. I was hesitant about getting back in the lab until seeing this and sonic gameplay 💪🏽

[@ThtstragicGaming]

That sonic gameplay different lol. And you mean overhead cancel into grab?

[@UndertakerVGoldberg]

@@ThtstragicGaming yes! And you’re right sonic is indeed different lol

[@ThtstragicGaming]

@@UndertakerVGoldberg yea I'll make a video showing that and a few other things

[@UndertakerVGoldberg]

Looking forward to it thanks again!

[@ThtstragicGaming]

@@UndertakerVGoldberg I'll try my best to get it done today. I got 4 shorts made yesterday so I'm kinda of ahead rn which is a first 😆

[@thesoundofsikscontrollerbe5624]

How do you fake and cancel out of that forward 3 overhead into a grab that I see people doing ?

[@Jay.A.Y]

When you press forward 3 you have a small window to press your grab button. So just press forward 3 and quickly grab and you’ll get it

[@itzdoggerday]

what controller are u using? never seen those numbered inputs before

[@ThtstragicGaming]

Razor wolverine 2 for PC and PS5

[@nugzmedallion8929]

So here's a tip for anyone trying to get the timing right for the Rain+Scorpion hard-to-blockable: You're gonna wanna cancel the air 243 into BF4 while still in the air, then immediately press Up+Kameo directly after the 4 input of BF4. When you land, you will immediately begin the start up frames for the toilet drain so make sure to be holding back as you land so you throw it out next to you. As SOON as the projectile throwing animation is done, press F32 and you can do it one more time if you so choose. Basically, in the air, you're going to be pressing 2,4,3,B,F,4,Up+Kameo in quick succession, holding back as you land and throw the projectile, then on the first possible frame, throw out F32. Hope this helps, but I think the OP should totally make the tutorial video, because it took me a little bit to figure it out.

[@ThtstragicGaming]

I have a tutorial vid. Here it is kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn3dnq2egZpjo5Y

[@nugzmedallion8929]

@ThtstragicGaming ah I didn't even know lol I actually just managed to figure it out myself lol. Weirdly enough, the method you're using for timing it is different than the one I'm using, but it achieves the same result.

[@ThtstragicGaming]

@@nugzmedallion8929 still thx for the comment tho. Helping ppl achieve the same goal!
