My Thoughts On Raiden Gameplay Trailer

My Thoughts On The Reveal Trailer For Raiden.

So on Sunday during another tournament for Injustice 2, Ed Boon revealed to everyone the first trailer of Raiden. Raiden is the second character coming out for Fighter Pack #2 and my god does he look awesome. Now, the default costume of Raiden looks terrible in my opinion, but the way he fights looks awesome. He looks like a mid to close range fighter, but with a lot of setup such as captain cold. He seems to have a teleport just like in MKX and some lightning traps. He has this rectangular barricade that surrounds the opponent but also another special move that is two lightning balls connected by lightning that can perhaps make opponents to stay crouched so you can do a forward 3.

Though what I also did see was a lot of similar combos to Sub-Zero in terms of low and mid hits. So from that perspective I'm getting more and more interested in Raiden because his moves can make you unpredictable. So Raiden does I guess copy in a way from characters like Sub-Zero, Red Hood, Captain Cold, and Black Adam. The one thing I do want to emphasize with all these DLC characters is that they either balance the game out a bit more, or they are just good add-ons. NetherRealm is doing a good job not breaking their game and keeping many people invested with all the different and unique characters.

Raiden isn't available until early October so we do have to wait a decent amount of time, though Black Manta did come out not too long ago. Also, I know that a lot of Injustice 2 fans don't like that NetherRealm is putting in Mortal Kombat characters but I actually don't mind because they fit right in without any gleaming problems. Sure, there are a lot of other DC characters that can be added to the game instead but look, NetherRealm also owns Mortal Kombat and they just thought it would be fun to have these two characters in Injustice 2. The creators are just as big as fans as any of us so I don't mind these two characters, especially when they showed us just how awesome Raiden's super really is. I mean to see the Mortal Kombat dragon come to life and take out the opponent is just beautiful and his closing animation with the dragon moving around his is also beautiful. As always thank you for taking time out of your day to read this blog and please comment and share if you liked this topic I discussed.
