Rain is an interesting case for a Zoning character; he is a threat almost anywhere on the screen with his plethora of rolls to attack at a distance. However, his slowness can prove quite the challenge on top of an already complex moveset with a ton of nuance. That is why we partnered with the legendary Ketchup, who helped us dissect the magician and discover all his secrets.

Thank you Ketchup once again for taking the time to make this guide for us! Your insights are always incredible 💪
Back to our viewers now: Who should we reach out to next for a guide? And for which character?! Let us know here in the comments.

Crazy. I literally woke up today and was like "I think I want to try and learn Rain today", opened up UA-cam, and this was the first video at the top of my feed. The universe has spoken!

Extra tip from a Rain player for fighting Rain: in addition to delaying your getup, when dealing with that hard-to-block Sub Zero setup you always wanna block standing. The reason being, if you stand block you'll get grabbed by the whirlpool, then bopped by the overheads and bounced away, ending the combo. Where things get scary for you is if you block the whirlpool and take the overheads normally; now you've restarted the combo and if Rain has another charge of Sub Zero he can put you back in the same situation again. Much better to just take the extra couple hits and reset than to lose most of your health bar because you took 3 combos in a row.

Always great to see Ketchup and/or Mustard doing what they do best!

[@JoseGarcia-uz2es]

Another good button is 2 1 1 2, especially 2 1 1 since you can confirm it with his launcher or watergate to keep your turn, especially if you are running Kano, Stryker or Cyrax.

[@bossbudz86]

Ketchup is the best! He got me into rain on twitch. Thx again! 🍻🍻

[@OctopusH2O]

Goro kameo allows you to set a safe whirlpool every time you hit them with a goro after db3

[@Bulletz4Breakfast13]

Hey Ketchup, Rain's B2 is actually hit confirmable. It's deceiving being a single hit but it has so much cancel advantage and animation that it's hit confirmable like Sonic said at ECT. I didn't think it was either
When i first picked up the game i mained Rain, then Sindel, Reptile, Sub Zero, Kenshi and now Kitana Sub
But I've always been a practice abd use every character to learn matchups

[@JoseGarcia-uz2es]

Sub-zero and Stryker are his best kameos, but he has several options like Scorpion, Kano, Goro, or Sektor.

[@TommieLee94]

Don't forget sarenna too

[@Kuzmen663]

Honestly i feel like @ketchup should do all the DF tutorials...This was perfectly explained

[@williammangus5526]

Very difficult character to beat

[@robbo8877]

Any tips for landing the Sub forward kameo after they bounce? I've tried everything and it never ever lands

[@uzum6]

Stand 1 forward kameo works, I guess

[@UserNot_Known]

@@uzum6it doesnt

[@vesalmirhoseyni]

how can i perform that move comes with water gate, one time i see AI did it. i talk about that a wave comes out of water gate and hit oponent

[@Nighthunter387]

I think it's BF2 enhanced, or the teleport move (DF2) enhanced

[@vesalmirhoseyni]

@Nighthunter387 im sorry but actually i new with this game
What u mean by bf2 or df2?

[@Mumblues]

Anyone got advice on dealing with Reiko while playing as Rain? I have a ton of trouble with him

[@Kuzmen663]

Jump the projectile into DB1 portal as a delay...it enables you to close the distance

[@antonyregalado943]

worst guide man

[@ScumFlesh]

Why?? Do you know of a better one?

[@shannoncrawford808]

I seen a rain cancel his forward 3 into grab.
