General/Other - Predator Predator Pre-Release General Discussion Thread

[Ecodus]

With the announcement of Predator as DLC a general discussion forum is now needed.

Varition thoughts?

Anyone going to instantly main him?

Please feel free to tag friends who you think are going to be interested in playing him.

Let the hunt begin.

He could be worse than the Joker and Green Arrow combined and I'm still going to main him. Aliens > All

 

[REYTHEGREAT]

A shoulder-mounted laser cannon known as a Plasma Caster, numerous wrist gauntlets, a retractable spearblade/staff known as a Combi-Staff or Combi-Stick, throwing disks that can cut through almost anything called Smartdiscs, and
nets of thin mesh that can cut through the trapped foe

does that sounds familiar? coughcyraxcough

@Ecodus You going to be playing him?

I wonder what his conversations might be. He doesn't say much in any of the movies. "Want some candy?", "Shit happens", "Over here", "Any time" and what's in the thread's title comes to my mind. Come to think of it, it's enough to have some rocking dialogs.

Would like to see some variations based on: Wolf Pred (whip and laser traps), Scar Pred (spear, close range combat), and Jungle/City Pred (invisibility, zoning).

And lots of Yautja's clicking sounds. Lots of them!

I still don't understand the need for a quote in every character general discussion thread.

Anyway, I'm hype for Predator! Now all we need is Freddy and Alien and my dreams of a Freddy Vs Jason and Alien Vs Predator game can be realized!

 

[MajinBerserker]

As far as variations- realistically, I could imagine the different weapons the Predator has being highlighted in each variation. This could fill the role of the cyber ninjas in the game. You'd get your Cyrax and Sektor archetypes, possibly some robot Smoke style??

A theory variation I'd be interested in:
A slower, brawler type. No mask. Maybe a few MB armored specials. Melee style of character.
This variation would be reminiscent of the final battle with Arnold in the first film. No mask or weapons (maybe give him the two wrist blades, though), emphasizing the Predator's hand-to-hand combat skill. Possibly give him a little more damage on his specials in this one, since he'd be slightly slower and have no weapons.
Just a wild idea.

They said there would be no comic book characters in MKX, Spawn could end up in Injustice 2 though.

I expect (and also hope) to see something like this...

Hunter -- Nets, bombs and traps without the emphasis on hand to hand combat. Uses mainly the wrist blades up close. Perhaps an improved stealth function.

Warrior -- Higher emphasis on hand to hand combat. Combi-stick, disc and extended wrist blades would be most appropriate.

Gunner -- Higher emphasis on Plasma Caster with additional ranged weaponry such as energy flechette, speargun and maybe a plasma pistol.

Also, on a side note, I hope they fit the self-destruct in there somehow given how iconic it is. Obviously Hara-Kiri is gone but maybe as a Fatality or something. I want to hear that laugh.

For dialogue I'm thinking he will mimic whom he is facing. That's the whole idea behind when he does "speak"

 

[just_2swift]

Stealth: he stays invisible as long as he isn't hit. Like at the start of a round he is normal and visible. But as the battle progresses while not being touched he starts to fade....

I hope Cassie calls him one ugly mother fucker

Let's be serious here , spawn makes much more sense in mk , he's brutal as fuck , not to mention he fits the style.

 

[Quancheese]

I need that fatality where the mesh net tightens slowly and the victim just gets diced into tiny meat cubes. Give me that and I'll be happy

Honestly this would be a nice homage but it's really just limiting the character. The Predator wields dozens of deadly futuristic weapons. With the exception of the clicking sounds that's kind of his thing.

I'm sure he's an excellent hand-to-hand fighter but I don't really care about that. As a predator fan I want the spear, the aforementioned wrist blades, the shoulder cannons, the invisibility, the nets/traps, the throwing weapons.... the list goes on and on. I want all of it.

I don't want a variation where he's stripped of all of that.

The amount of Spawn Salt is epic.

I bet he has a net.
