But lifting that Metal Gear makes me want to abandon all the basic Physics knowledge I learnt. If you are saying that Raiden have that strength to lift a Metal Gear, he should have ended any boss fights in matter of seconds by kicking them to the moon.
As much as I love him, I hate when Kojima tries to distance the franchise from Rising. When Kojima tries to cast this game as a spin off or non-canon, it just comes off as he is just mad his team wasn't competent enough to finish the game, all they had was a watermelon slicing simulator, and had to let Platinum take over and actually finish the game. This game was incredible, it was Metal Gear turned up to 11, and Platinum didn't take like 6 fucking years to make it.
Nah I'm glad he does, as much as I fucking love Rising as a game and pre-ordered it as soon as I could, it absolutely ruins the Metal Gear series as it was and destroys Raidens character at the end reverting him aaaaalll the way back to the start where he is just taking everyone else's reasons to fight and trying to make them his own which was his biggest character flaw that he over came IN HIS FIRST GAME! I'm fine with this being it's own timeline and I would still be extremely excited for a MGR2 if it ever gets considered, but as a continuation from MGS4 eeeeehhh No thanks, I would rather it stay more relatively grounded and be more of a stealth action game series based on that rather then the amazing action that MGR:R is and for Raiden to actually develop on his own rather then just being a reset of his character as a whole.
Actually it was a collaboration between KojiPro and Platinum, you can even see it in the themes of the game: 2 unlikely sides fusing their ideas to make something great.
“Rising is the alternate continuation of the main timeline.” Sorry, Kojima. Ya kinda need a main series to also pass MG4 to claim that. Rising is where it all ends, and I’m cool with Raiden giving the story its final badass bang of continuity.
@@mercury2157 I think it's moreso because it lessens the impact of Raidens arc in MGS4, because after that game he's out, he's done. But in Rising he barely mentions his family and is right back in the fray. I love Rising but I do prefer to separate it from the main series.
@@louwashe imo rising made raiden one of the most popular and beloved characters in the whole metal gear franchise, from how he was hated by mostly everyone after metal gear 2 because "he isnt snake" to how he becomes a badass cyborg in 4 but without being playable to becoming the most badass and kickass protagonist in any metal gear game ever And also that ending screams for a sequel, it's a shame that konami is more interested in gambling
If you didn't know, raiden's jaw is cybernetic as well as his skin plus, he has white blood to generate oxygen throughout his body. P.s The motion capture of raiden was played by a woman in rising Another fact he is around 5'10 to 5'11 he isn't really tall as we thought
@@GeneFOX70 i know but its kojima his fucks alot of things up i mean mgs4 was just an orgy of nanomachines so maybe they all went to the bottoms of his feet to make him 5 inches taller during cutscenes lol
I just realized the speed of those railguns in MGS... A Railgun round goes at a speed of 62 Miles Per Second which is 223,200 MPH. The Space Shuttle achieved a max launch speed of 18,000 MPH. Mean while the Earth in it's orbit around the sun cruises at 67,000 MPH. That means someone with Raiden's reaction and reflex time must be able to anticipate the eventual "line of death" a railgun will create from the muzzle when fired, more than dodging the round itself. That is insanely fast decision calculation.
The moment where this reaction time would cone to its greatest use was in Revengance, for a fun fact. When Mistral sent him a flying kiss he was able to guard against it before it ever reached him. What a man c:
Now just imagine this... Raiden was STRUGGLING even in his improved form with Jack the Ripper mode, against someone who had almost NO cybernetic enhancements and worked purely on sword skill and will power. Ladies and gentleman ... JETSTREAM SAM. Still my favorite character from all the games, period.
One of the coolest video game characters ever. The cyborg version was honestly so original, with the robotic lower jaw, looking organic and metallic at the same time. Really wowed me when I was younger
I remember when metal gear revengance was supposed to be called something else and was supposed to be a different game entirely. Originally it was supposed to be a game showing you what happened between the events of MGS2 and MGS4. It was supposed to explain what the hell happened to riaden to turn him into a cyborg ninja
That was when it originally was under the Solid banner as Metal Gear Solid Rising (which was originally canon) and it was supposed to be a stealth/action hybrid with WAY more emphasis on stealth than what was in Revengence. I remembered seeing the reveal a decade ago and was excited about it, and kinda disappointed with the final release. It wasn't bad gameplay-wise, it just wasn't what I was hoping for it to be narrative-wise.
@@frenchfriedbagel7035 technically it was Kojima Productions (their B-Team I believe) that couldn't get the game how they wanted (apparently they weren't familiar with high-octane sword combat), and the game was temporarily canned. It wouldn't be till Kojima talked with one of Platinium's producers (I don't think it was Kamiya though) that they were given the reigns of development, and the story was changed so that Platinum didn't have to stick to MGS's narrative timeline.
Long story short, Raiden is pretty much unstoppable against anyone and anything. That'd be an interesting video for you to make... considering how powerful he is at the end of Reveangance, perhaps you could come up with some characters that would at the very least give Raiden a run for his money outside of the bosses in MGRV and not get their asses totally handed to them on a silver platter, DARE I SAY characters that could actually BEAT Raiden. Superman? Kratos? Gray Fox? Sokolov? It's up to you.
@@kwaneric6533 idk what to tell you man, but ok. I guess Raiden is also kind of OP since he's an emo yaoi fan boy's ultimate dream. Those guy are always built OP
If he's reaction time and speed is almost in astronomical level, I don't want to imagine how powerful Jetstream Sam is gonna be on full cyborg body. He defeated Raiden on the first time they fought and almost defeated him with only an exo suit and cyborg arm on his arsenal.
for me, the only thing that explains it is Sam got to learn many sword techniques like Iaijutsu since his father is literally a Samurai while Raiden learn all his moves from watching movies
Kojima also has said that The Twin Snakes is actually what was supposed to be, they were only held back by PS1's technical limitations. Kojima always wanted the crazy over-the-top action scenes but that wasn't possible at the time, that might be the only reason TTS was ever actually made. When TTS was under development, Ryuhei Kitamura started to recreate the cinematic scenes from MGS1, but Kojima asked him to do them in his signature, dynamic, crazy, over-the-top, Matrix-like bullet-time effects and all, style.

@@coolio6855 Yep, ua-cam.com/video/9XLw_cNwV88/v-deo.html Those muscles use materials that contract when shocked with electricity, so this is pretty much human muscles, but synthetic (and way stronger)
@CGS whenever you get rich enough to buy those muscles and have them surgically implanted, also have the appropriate bone density and strength to withstand that (for reference if your leg contracted at full force it would snap your femur, which is incredibly hard to snap because it is the largest bone in your body)
There’s a couple of things that I need to point out in Raiden's fight against metal gear Ray, Standard metal gear rays are about 60ms tall and 750 tonnes, the one Raiden fought was custom body fitted with Carbon nanotubing, thus making it far lighter and faster than its original version, though this would allow the MG to carry a lot more ammunition than its counterpart as well thus bringing the weight to 750 tonnes minimum (could carry more weight potentially), this ultimately means that when overclocked, Raiden can lock blades with a MGR and then suplex it dozens of metres into the air. Also as Sundowner stated: He was surprised on how fast the MGR was defeated as he only expected he would have a minute at best, meaning that in Raidens base form (before upgrades and without JTR personality) took down a MGR in 30 seconds after the fight began
Oof, that heart to heart Snake has with Raiden in the Outer Haven hallway. Thanks for letting that one play out. I always loved the morbid bromance between those two.
There will never be another swordsmaster as good as Sam. He was barely enhanced, and Raiden barely beat him, with HEAVY augment usage, and on top of that Sam, was a better swordsman, which automatically makes him the best in the franchise.
deathbattle is full of shit anyway, their analysis is almost always purposely inaccurate so they can make a more controversial video giving them more views
@@hyperwatch721 explain yourself, because they alway give us their sources and they take care of nor always to pick the "strongest" of heroes like superman to make a fair fight
@@mariano98ify Sure, but even if they give their sources it doesn't mean they stick to them. They take two characters, throw in some half-assed calculations and make the one who will cause more uproar win. They've always done that
In one of the codec calls in the first mission, Doktor says, that Raiden's body converts the force that is applied to it, making it its own. Before throwing both Ray and Exelus, Raiden first blocked the attack. That means that usually Raiden isn't that strong
@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan if his body converts force exerted on him to make the energy his own, then he's always strong. Say a force of 100 tons is pushing him. The force of that would be converted to his energy. He wouldn't need to block. Blocking would require him to exert a equal or greater force which would make him "naturally" strong.
Raiden is practically set for smash. He has high potential in his moveset, some great music, and 2 potential stages (Desperado rooftop, Excelsus ruins)
Really well done vid. Great emphasis on his skills via VR. Shame that Chico concept art isnt canon, cause genes(and "possibly" parasites) could have been more of an influence on Raiden's abilities than we'd think.
@@carso1500 cant since its not canon. Ppl just lean on their own speculations. Chico Peace Walker: "when I grow up, I wanna be a Hunter" gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/681794-metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain/69817030
Excellent material. I am a huge fan of Raiden, no matter what others are saying. He is my favourite Metal Gear character of all time. Sure, I like Solid Snake but Raiden deserves in my book more attention. Kudos for such analysis.
I think the only reason Kojima recognized Rising as some alternate future is to both provide himself some safety incase purist stealth fans wouldn't mess with the game so much and as respect to the character of Raiden who's supposed to have a peaceful life after the mgs4's events.
@ 19:23, talking about his wigs for Revengeance, I noticed the "Ripper Mode" wig is useless, since the "Infinite Blade Mode" blue wig does the same thing, it doesn't allow "Ripper Mode" to be depleted, as well as infinite blade mode, unless it was fixed, it still should be this way. I'm gonna replay it and see!
I clicked on this and watched it and said damn this is a great video.. Then I saw 560 subscribers. 4k views. And 50 comments and said.. This is the most underrated thing ive ever looked and interacted with in my entire lifetime and will continue to be that way for the rest of existince as we know it.
This is all really amazing when given the additional context that raiden is supposed to be the player, almost. Not in as direct a way venom was, however.
Well seeing as how he can suplex nuke wielding skyscraper sized robots like nothing and ripped off excelsus' building sized sword, DUELED IT AND SLASHED IT INTO BITS AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED AS WITH HIS HF BLADE ID SAY HES PRETTY GOD DAMN POWERFUL
That VR Training theory with Ghost Babel is pretty interesting. Would be a very clever way to sort of connect the non-canon games with the mainline installments. 🤔
Don't forget was able to beat nanomachined Armstrong, who has been shown to hit the ground so hard he can cause an miniature earthquake so deep is speews magma, and because we don't see any volcanos or culderas near the final fight arena, it's possible that he's getting this magma from the mantel of the earth, which no human has ever been known to dig into, and is around 10km (6.214 miles), with a single punch, and is able to do it multiple times, has twice the heath of EXCELSUS, one of the larger machines in the games, was able to survive dozens of blows from Riden's and Sam's high frequency and improved high frequency blades, and also every other boss wepon, is able to throw large chunks of EXCELSUS, and could survive for a bit with his heart ripped out of his chest, implying who could have put it back in and maybe heal fully
I want to point out that Raiden didn't just lift the weight of these metal gears. He swung them from their limbs. The lever effect makes each metal gear much MUCH heavier than their mass alone.
Still a shame that Solid Rising's story was scrapped for Revengence's. Would've loved to see what happened to Raiden between MGS2 and 4 with him getting his cybernetics (especially since it was barely touched upon in Guns of the Patriots).
Raiden is just a killing machine. In MGS2 he just supressed his urges and hoped to live a happy live but that does not happen on the battlefield. In MGS4 he become mental and in the future (MGS Revengeance) he let it rip again.
bro how tf is Sam so strong, just to have the bone density to be able to withstand his muscles contracting so hard to compete with Raiden while almost entirely human is mind blowing, let alone the strength.
I mean it depends,its more like a Airsoft afficionado who keeps doing airsoft ops every day for years,so even though he still nowhere near a real soldier(which he actually is due to his child soldier training) its better than some guy who played COD and thinks he can run n gun
Hated him at the very start of the game, mistook the guy for a woman. I mean who dare replace Snake..Eventually become to love the guy more and more, and now his my all time fav character from the franchise.
It is said in the cut scene at the end of 4 that it was the body of a clone. Venom snake was killed in Metal Gear and the body that was reanimated/kept alive was the original Big Boss from MG2.
At this point Raiden is beyond any Metal Gear. Those things are slow and big targets making them easy prey for someone with Raidens capabilities or hell even other cyborgs in MGS Rising universe.

Heh, if Raiden is REALLY that strong, why did I die 128 times in mgs2??? Checkmate. (Good video!!!)
You were in a simulation. We all were.
Me who uses cheats, 😌😏
No meme about “Nanomachines, son!”, guess you’re getting a dislike 🤷🏽♀️
how dare u jk dislike though radian is cool
here NANO MACHINES SON there yyo meme lol
Memes got Steve into smash... LET'S GET RAIDEN INTO SMASH!!!!
@Danni Chesney
Bruh it’s literally a joke.
@@Zonex_Haven Not going to happen, he was in PlayStation All Stars.
There’s a couple of things that I need to point out in Raiden's fight against metal gear Ray, Standard metal gear rays are about 60ms tall and 750 tonnes, the one Raiden fought was custom body fitted with Carbon nanotubing, thus making it far lighter and faster than its original version, though this would allow the MG to carry a lot more ammunition than its counterpart as well thus bringing the weight to 750 tonnes minimum (could carry more weight potentially), this ultimately means that when overclocked, Raiden can lock blades with a MGR and then suplex it dozens of metres into the air. Also as Sundowner stated: He was surprised on how fast the MGR was defeated as he only expected he would have a minute at best, meaning that in Raidens base form (before upgrades and without JTR personality) took down a MGR in 30 seconds after the fight began
It’s still pretty impressive
When did Sundowner state that at?
@@TheBeastUnleashed87 yeah I've heard this before and I curious where did he state it
Colonel Campbell: Raiden turn the game console off right now
Raiden:What
Colonel Campbell: You have been playing for too long
Me: screw you Roy, I play as long as I want! *Continues playing*
I need scissors. 61!
La li lu le lo! la li lu le lo! la li lu le lo!
Omg

The Dynamic between Snake and Raiden is amazing, even if underappreciated. Snake still believes in people while Raiden struggles to.
Oof, that heart to heart Snake has with Raiden in the Outer Haven hallway. Thanks for letting that one play out. I always loved the morbid bromance between those two.
Honestly, Kojima can’t tell us if Rising is cannon or not. Everyone knows we all count it as cannon.
There will never be another swordsmaster as good as Sam. He was barely enhanced, and Raiden barely beat him, with HEAVY augment usage, and on top of that Sam, was a better swordsman, which automatically makes him the best in the franchise.
Probably he achieved god-level status in japanese swordsmanship, probably even better than Miyamoto Musashi. He was blessed by Hachiman.
he also has better sword tho-
Raiden is the coolest character I ever played with
what about the storm that is approaching
@@canitalian4311 the only thing i know for real is the cool brazilian wind.
What about Sam
@@gannielukks1811 nah he's gay
what about alex mercer?
You know what's funny how Death Battles tries to downplay Raiden a lot.
deathbattle is full of shit anyway, their analysis is almost always purposely inaccurate so they can make a more controversial video giving them more views
@@hyperwatch721 not to mention they’re biased af
@@Kaosxca biased agaisnt who?
@@hyperwatch721 explain yourself, because they alway give us their sources and they take care of nor always to pick the "strongest" of heroes like superman to make a fair fight
@@mariano98ify Sure, but even if they give their sources it doesn't mean they stick to them. They take two characters, throw in some half-assed calculations and make the one who will cause more uproar win. They've always done that
In one of the codec calls in the first mission, Doktor says, that Raiden's body converts the force that is applied to it, making it its own. Before throwing both Ray and Exelus, Raiden first blocked the attack.
That means that usually Raiden isn't that strong
and what about the giant ship he stopped then?
@@Ivaylodr5 blocked the ship then used that force to push against it maybe?
I dunno. Having him be strong as shit sounds cooler
@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan if his body converts force exerted on him to make the energy his own, then he's always strong. Say a force of 100 tons is pushing him. The force of that would be converted to his energy. He wouldn't need to block. Blocking would require him to exert a equal or greater force which would make him "naturally" strong.
With an HF blade, it’s not really that important is it?
@@archangel9727 right but it probably doesn't apply to normal force, so him pushing a stationary object would mean that he's less strong.
I want him in Smash bros. There’s a icon for him in SU so it’s possible.
Just go play PS all stars (a smash bros clone with PlayStation characters), he’s in there and lots of fun to play
@@nemesisfilms4942 that’s not the same. The mgs series needs some love and he would be an awesome addition. Hell STEVE is in it😭
Raiden is practically set for smash. He has high potential in his moveset, some great music, and 2 potential stages (Desperado rooftop, Excelsus ruins)
PlayStation all stars back on ps3 and he was broken as fuck in that roster
Really well done vid. Great emphasis on his skills via VR. Shame that Chico concept art isnt canon, cause genes(and "possibly" parasites) could have been more of an influence on Raiden's abilities than we'd think.
Care to explain more
@@carso1500 cant since its not canon. Ppl just lean on their own speculations. Chico Peace Walker: "when I grow up, I wanna be a Hunter" gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/681794-metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain/69817030
Well Raiden stopped a giant battle ship from crushing Snake with both hands tied behind his back.
Excellent material. I am a huge fan of Raiden, no matter what others are saying. He is my favourite Metal Gear character of all time. Sure, I like Solid Snake but Raiden deserves in my book more attention. Kudos for such analysis.
I have a theory that MGS VR missions is canon, you're just playing as Raiden during his VR training
They say the same thing in this video.
I think the only reason Kojima recognized Rising as some alternate future is to both provide himself some safety incase purist stealth fans wouldn't mess with the game so much and as respect to the character of Raiden who's supposed to have a peaceful life after the mgs4's events.
@ 19:23, talking about his wigs for Revengeance, I noticed the "Ripper Mode" wig is useless, since the "Infinite Blade Mode" blue wig does the same thing, it doesn't allow "Ripper Mode" to be depleted, as well as infinite blade mode, unless it was fixed, it still should be this way. I'm gonna replay it and see!
I dont think that was dodging a railgun blast more like knowing its gonna happen considering its telegraphed so moved
If you didnt know, the blade mode wig is obsolete if you get infinite wig b. With infinite fuel cells your jack the ripper mode is also infinite
I love Raiden but I still don’t understand this machine crippling and gritty ass universe of Metal Gear Solid other than.......
*📦🙈😏🍑*
I clicked on this and watched it and said damn this is a great video.. Then I saw 560 subscribers. 4k views. And 50 comments and said.. This is the most underrated thing ive ever looked and interacted with in my entire lifetime and will continue to be that way for the rest of existince as we know it.
It's not always about views or subscribers
@@MegaSolidninja true that
This is all really amazing when given the additional context that raiden is supposed to be the player, almost. Not in as direct a way venom was, however.
Powerfull enough to CUT A METAL GEAR RAY WITH A SWORD
Well seeing as how he can suplex nuke wielding skyscraper sized robots like nothing and ripped off excelsus' building sized sword, DUELED IT AND SLASHED IT INTO BITS AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED AS WITH HIS HF BLADE ID SAY HES PRETTY GOD DAMN POWERFUL
But can he beat Goku?
*Powerscale Snake from super smash brothers!*
Raiden is husbando material.
How Powerful is Sam Porter Bridges?
This man can swing his sword at over 1340 times Earths escape velocity.
Vergil **sees Raiden** :
_What form of power is this?_
Devil trigger might not be fast enough if Raiden wear his blue wig that day
Nano-Motivation son. It increases in response to epic soundtracks.
That VR Training theory with Ghost Babel is pretty interesting. Would be a very clever way to sort of connect the non-canon games with the mainline installments. 🤔
Damn that mgs horn music teared me up when he was giving that speech to raiden
Thanks for crediting my tunes!
They are god tier, man. Couldn't do it without them.
I can't believe people would even compare Genji to him
Screw Kojima, Rising is in the same universe as the other games to me
Don't forget was able to beat nanomachined Armstrong, who has been shown to hit the ground so hard he can cause an miniature earthquake so deep is speews magma, and because we don't see any volcanos or culderas near the final fight arena, it's possible that he's getting this magma from the mantel of the earth, which no human has ever been known to dig into, and is around 10km (6.214 miles), with a single punch, and is able to do it multiple times, has twice the heath of EXCELSUS, one of the larger machines in the games, was able to survive dozens of blows from Riden's and Sam's high frequency and improved high frequency blades, and also every other boss wepon, is able to throw large chunks of EXCELSUS, and could survive for a bit with his heart ripped out of his chest, implying who could have put it back in and maybe heal fully
UA-cam comments? L. Talk to me on Discord: discord.gg/hN7htJK2nh
OK,
I think 911 was the reason why mgr happened because I don't remember any one talking about 911 in mgs4.
I thought it said 732k but no! Less than 1k subs. Great production quality for a channel this small. I hope your channel the best man!
Thanks so much!
0:52-0:58- Jontron. LOL 😆
9:04 & 11:11- Hey, that's The Gaming Restoration's Footage!
I would kill a man if it means I get to play Raiden in Ultimate.
Wolverine didn't really stand a chance.
He can clap raiden shogun
😳
Reminds me of that one cursed jpg
Maybe he has in fan art.
What kind of clapping 🤨📷??
no, shogun destroys all metal gear with one attack xd
In conclusion: I’m getting into Metal Gear, and Raiden is my favorite character.
Snake >>>
and he cute, don't forget about that
@FeruLay Conden Yes
I want to point out that Raiden didn't just lift the weight of these metal gears. He swung them from their limbs. The lever effect makes each metal gear much MUCH heavier than their mass alone.
By the end of Revengance, Raiden is, by all accounts, a serial killer.
He was a serial killer prior lol
Just like solid snake
Base Raiden with Skull Suit is still my favourite :)
1:12
first time i ever heard "Jamais-vu" pronounced like that
He's correct though, jamais vu pronunciation is ZHA-may-VOO;
No wait
Maybe my ears might have a problem
Lmao its french bruh
Ja-may-vuh
I don’t see why Rising can’t be canon :(
Can I say that the ending was edited brilliantly.
Still a shame that Solid Rising's story was scrapped for Revengence's. Would've loved to see what happened to Raiden between MGS2 and 4 with him getting his cybernetics (especially since it was barely touched upon in Guns of the Patriots).
Meh, i think rising is the best fucking game in the series.
Wouldn't replace it ever.
I love Revengeance. I wish we could have had both games, still. I'll always be interested in Solid Rising's story.
But hey with the more techno focused setting, we got some bomb ass music.
This game better than cyberpunk 😍
You forgot to mention that our boy is so painfully thicc he can seduce any enemy
Just the feat of carrying the full MGS2 Arsenal of Weapons alone should put Raiden pre MGS4 beyond human lol
Raiden for Smash
Strong? Didn't he suplexed a metal gear ray 😂
would love a spin off a base raiden game less cyber and more just ninja spy.
He can SUPLEX a 200 ton giant robot from the least mechanical advantage distance ...HES REAALLY PRETTTY FUCKING STRONG
Rising is CANON, you can't fight me, Jack.
Raiden is just a killing machine. In MGS2 he just supressed his urges and hoped to live a happy live but that does not happen on the battlefield. In MGS4 he become mental and in the future (MGS Revengeance) he let it rip again.
Let's GOOOO!!!!
I love Raiden .He can defeat anything .He is best character in metal gear series
Press X to doubt
@@CRISIS_COMICS You're best for a reason
Come on Platinum, RISING 2!!!!! 🙃
bro how tf is Sam so strong, just to have the bone density to be able to withstand his muscles contracting so hard to compete with Raiden while almost entirely human is mind blowing, let alone the strength.
Raiden's argument is pretty much like that guy who says he could survive a war, zombie apocalypses, or the wilderness because they played a game
Sans the zombies, thats exactly what he did.
id say its more like recurring dreams at that point rather than a game, he'd had the knowledge of the battle but skill would be where had fall apart.
I mean it depends,its more like a Airsoft afficionado who keeps doing airsoft ops every day for years,so even though he still nowhere near a real soldier(which he actually is due to his child soldier training) its better than some guy who played COD and thinks he can run n gun
i pronounce raiden "ray-den"
not bad i guess
You should explain all of this to Death Battle.
Why?... Metal Gear hasn’t lost a single battle over there.
@@brianshafer1166 Yes and they clearly downplayed him a little.
Hated him at the very start of the game, mistook the guy for a woman. I mean who dare replace Snake..Eventually become to love the guy more and more, and now his my all time fav character from the franchise.
Dude took down an MG whos water canon was replaced with a high tech laser with nothing but a sword. He's pretty strong
The RAYs have plasma cannons, not lasers
19:03 Boutta fight Senator Armstrong. Hold up. Let me check REDDIT real quick!!!
Wait snake was holding back? Damn how op
was it actually solidus' body? im pretty sure we learn it was venom snakes body wasnt it?
It is said in the cut scene at the end of 4 that it was the body of a clone. Venom snake was killed in Metal Gear and the body that was reanimated/kept alive was the original Big Boss from MG2.
So safe to say Raiden is basically a human Metal Gear
At this point Raiden is beyond any Metal Gear. Those things are slow and big targets making them easy prey for someone with Raidens capabilities or hell even other cyborgs in MGS Rising universe.
