Maybe I'm crazy but b22 seems like it will be very strong in the footsies game. It has a ghost hitbox, it's special cancel-able, and has a very far reach. The startup isn't too bad, either. The only problem is the first hit is a high, but so is f1 for Raiden and the first hit of 21122 for Erron.

After playing with him a bit, a few thoughts...

I think all the variations will get used online, but the viable one is Hunter - and that's the only variation we'll see at EVO.

He's not overpowered like Tanya was. He doesn't have great mobility or mindless tools. His most damaging strings aren't easy to land. He has one great mid, low, overhead string, but it doesn't lead to anything more than a knockdown. He's tall, so that makes him easier to zone. I think he's high mid-tier in his Hunter variation, but this assessment is still very early.

Time will only tell the Greats
okay so I feel like this character is perfect as he is even though he is high mid tier but I really feel like he is number 11 on a tier list and has the ability's to take on the high tier characters except for quin chi just my thought so far don't blow me up but yeah its day one and to early to really tell just seems like zoning is this characters down fall but I love this character and enjoyed the movies but beside that he to me will be a great character down the road and will be used a good bit

Good to know. Thanks.

I think its kind of a shame though. The Predator in MKX at EVO would be HYPE!

We in there, my Yautjan brothers.

(i'll never stop making these god damn it.)



Really digging Warrior, though I haven't tested out the other two thoroughly yet.

Might be a while, the allure of the high-tech beast is catching me more than that of the alien hunter/trapper.

Here is what I have found so far. It is probably useless and garbage but I just sat in practice and tried to find combs.

Snag (far), d2, nj2,d2 [meterless] 29%
Snag, 32, NJ2,32 bf4 [meterless] 32%
Snag, 32, NJ2,32 bf4EX, d2 [1 bar] 39%

I have a theoretical combo that I can not get to work after hours of effort. I should work but I suck:
Snag, 32, NJ2,32 bf4EX, 32 bf4 or Grab

Main reason I posed these are because I am sure they are incomplete so people will know how to finish or improve them...or flat-out tell me they are useless and what combos I should be learning. Then again, I still need to learn neutral game and punishes. I am on PS4 now streaming. I plan on giving warrior some burn too.

The mid, low, overhead one results in a hard knockdown and the others aren't that easy to land.

If he were available at EVO, you think he would be like Tanya was at CEO?

I've only tried Hunter and HQT in matches. I'll usually try to keep one bar later on in matches and get a bit more offensive. He has pretty good normals and cloak is 8 seconds taking reduced chip and ex is 16 taking no chip. It's pretty effective in keeping me alive a little bit longer. Just gotta watch out for throws lol. Also makes his predictable mixups in HQT a lot less predictable.

Well with a bit of playing some matches, people have caught on to his 32 overhead, which caused me to mix it up with a sawblade incoming.
With that being said ill use the Johnny Cage method and do 3 and let the overhead come out. Or do b31. Not sure how good that is since i never tested it.
