Evolution of Raiden's Electric Fly (1992-2019)

In this video, I bring to you the evolution of Raiden's most popular move, the Electric Fly, also known as Torpedo, since its first appearance in MK1 (1992) until MK11. I look at the elements of gameplay and storyline to bring to you the development of this influential character in the last few years.

Raiden's yells in his electric fly are something that should never be changed.

[ElPayasoMalo]

In the older games, Raiden wouldn't physically stand up when knocked down; he'd teleport into a standing position. I wish he still did that.

Raiden then: ABAYAYAYAYA!
Raiden now: I must consult with the elder gods

[EdmondBrown]

"I NEED MY MONEY!"
"JOHNNY, START THE CAR!"
"ARE YOU FROM L.A.?"

“I need my money, Johnny’s in the car.”

Please give Raiden his money, he's been asking for decades

*mk11 raiden is like the rock's return to a wrestling event without saying his famous catchphrases*

Raiden's super in Injustice 2 is probably the best super move he's ever had in any Nrs game.

Shao Khan: Bow to me

Lord Raiden: bruh....I've been telling you this for 10 years now...I NEED MY MONEY!!!!

[daniellemurnett]

Headcanon: Raiden was never paid for his voice acting gig, right up until MK11, and that's why he stopped asking for money only then.

Petition for MK12 to have Lord Raiden say "I NEED MY MONEY!!!" again

[ar_reacts]

Shao Khan: “Bow to me!”
Raiden: “lol nope!”

Raiden's "Electric Fly" (or the "Flying Superman" as it's once called), was not only a Staple Moveset as part of his Character, but was also the most Spamming Moves for Cheating and Unfairness.
