Raiden sure is a popular name for video-game characters! For those who enjoy completely trivial video game discussions and geniuenly like to argue, please join us. Just look at these here three fellows. One guy is a super spy out to save the world from terrorists, another is a giant wrestler, and the other is a thunder god participating in death matches from another dimension. Raiden, Mortal Kombat. Skills: Controls lighting, can fly, enjoys execution Raiden, King of Fighters. Skills: Wrestling, eating (implied) Raiden, Metal Gear. Skills: Espionage, spy warfare. Being #2. They couldn't be more different from each other now could they? Who's your favorite - and in a contest of self defense, who do you think would be the last man standing? Personally, I actually liked the Raiden from Metal Gear. He's no Snake, but I still thought he was cool. The other two Raidens I don't give a damn about. I don't care if the SNK Raiden would have never existed... and I'm one of those people who thinks Mortal Kombat is CRAP!
