I didn’t have a problem with Dark Raiden having a short screen time before he turns into dust by Kronika. He’s just protecting Earthrealm, even decided to intimidate those who threatens. I thought his intentions were good, just brutal, and I didn’t think Dark Raiden is necessarily evil. I mean seriously, what’s the point of having Dark Raiden as a main antagonist? Glad that MK1’s Invasions exists, which grants the opportunity to portray Dark Raiden as an antagonist that we players must take down. Him wanting to protect Earthrealm(s), yet, doing so in an extreme way that would destroy everything sounds like he’s delusional, and I like that about him.
I think there is a point about Dark Raiden, that was misunderstood. In MK11 it looks like Dark Raiden cares about the Earthrealm and acts aggresively to protect it, intimidate or destroy its enemies. It looks like he does the right thing, but the truth is, he is probably so badly infected by Shinok's magic, that his real goal - is to gain power over the realms. He uses earth protection as an excuse to invade other realms, subdue them and get more power. As a prove, we can hear his dialogue with Liu Kang in MK11. Dark Raiden says "- I don't need trust, I demand obidience". As we know, he was about to kill Liu Kang during the fight, if visions didn't come to him. So, I guess that Dark Raiden pretends to have good intentions, we can even agree with his methods, but in reality, he is poisoned by Dark Magic and his main goal - to gain as much power as possible. With time, he could have turned into another Shao Kahn or Shinok.
He's like Regime Superman. Shinnok's amulet corrupts his mindset. He actually wants to protect Earthrealm but just like Regime Superman he thinks destroying enemies and raiding other realms is the solution.
@@Chibitoodlesaltarc This is how things work. At first you start with good intentions and then you get obsessed by the idea of gaining as much power as you can.
This is how I beat it, RAIDEN is weak to acid, I used Reptile, 118 damage, 75 Defence, 32 Health. Keep uppercutting Raiden it only takes like 5 uppercuts per round. I used the amulet of souls consumable, it lets u block perfectly every time, I used this to block everything he did, and just uppercutted him.

Awesome video overall Sam. This Dark Raiden Boss Fight seems to be very challenging, but you kicked ass and took names man! Awesome work. 🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎💥💥💥⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
@@SamuelRamogo_ if it helps, you can get it through the opening stage of rampart within the very opening of the mesa. You will need to find a level with the get some klue. Just perform 3 throws with the Jax Kameo, and you should be able to get it
1:36 I hate how it doesn’t say round 2 or anything and he just gets right back up, totally ruins one of the main mechanics of the game. All they had to do was show 3 circles above you to imply phases if he was just gonna heal and stand up again and also just play the voice lines of the announcer saying it’s round 2 or 3. Even if there’s new attacks, at least confirm it instead of hide it like that.
Dark Raiden was absolute fire and I hope one day they'll might think about using the voice actor from MK11

Shang Tsung vs Raiden
4:50 Brutality
raiden would win tho, in canon he almost solos shang tsung and quan chi while his power was nerfed and theirs were extra powerful.
Reptile's the next invader of Season 6? Let's freaking go, dude! I can't wait!
5:35 I wish MK1 has Christopher Lambert raiden like in MK11.
Raiden is a TRUE OG 😊
I bet you are gonna use that raining teahouse stage because it gives me the mk9 vibes
Yes I am!

@@WinchesterD I did say that Shinnok's amulet is slowly corrupting his mindset. So what you said is also possible.
@@ChibitoodlesaltarcLike the old saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
This Dark Raiden skin, it's the same of MK11.

Nice one bro. But Geras really gave you hard time, that’s the hardest fight I’ve seen you done so far.
That and the Johnny Cage boss fight. They were really challenging.
@@SamuelRamogo_ thanks soo much bro. I really enjoy them. Since I can’t get to play them I enjoy watching them. Bless up bro🇯🇲

Invasions is your favorite mode
Awesome video overall Sam. This Dark Raiden Boss Fight seems to be very challenging, but you kicked ass and took names man! Awesome work. 🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎💥💥💥⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Which amulet I should use?
I wish Dark Raiden should have Shinnok's amulet instead of his own amulet
Only Fengjian Village left and I'll have Dark Raiden skins
Im guessing Season 6 got something to do with Reptile?
Yep
Your right reptile Is next
I hope his new skin is fantastic as a reptile main i really hope it lives up to expectation
Do Raiden vs Invasion Dark Raiden pls?
Have you got the Transluency Field Relic at the Rampart? It may help against the projectiles from this annoying boss
I didn't have that relic.
@@SamuelRamogo_ if it helps, you can get it through the opening stage of rampart within the very opening of the mesa. You will need to find a level with the get some klue. Just perform 3 throws with the Jax Kameo, and you should be able to get it
😮😮😮
Try With Kitana Boss Fight In Mk 1
Lol they just reused mortal Raiden’s intro and model…when there was an actual dark Raiden in Chapter 12. Why not use that one?
😎👍🏻❤️
So Is dark raiden a titan ?
Brutality Shang Tsung Wins
5:33 i see 90s raiden
Oh you’re level 200
A shame what happened to Raiden
Dark raiden poderia ser um vilão
How the heck I’m I supposed to beat dark gayden
I’m i the only one who he is one shooting ??
