General/Other - Hish-Qu-Ten Predator Hish-Qu-Ten Discussion Thread

Just curious to see if I can find some vids but who would you guys consider a very good predator player? Is there like a top guy you guys think is the best predator?

KTOPHDOPE & Jokey77 if u ask me. Saw Circa Destroyer at CEO-Stream and it was rather disappointing...
 
It means everything. Offline is a whole different game. That's like saying some random Alien player is better than Sonic Fox's Alien because he body's everyone online
I've always wondered this. Why are like the top online MKX players never at tournaments? Why don't any of them ever hardly enter? Even the number one online players most likely get bodied at tournaments by like guys that are ranked 30,000 etc.

I can only talk for myself: I wouldn't consider myself a Top online player (always ranked between spots 400 to 800) and I try to be at many tournaments as possible in Europe... but work/money doesn't allow me to join every tourney :(

Character Loyalist
At least I claim that I still use the most damaging combos and the best Setups/mixups among all HQT-Players that I have seen. It is hard to say, if I am better than the american players. Knowing your character is just one aspect of being a good player and I really lack matchup experience. Besides I haven't played a lot lately.

On PSN Europe I ranked no. 30 or so (during my best days).

Btw. I once watched that "Han Rashid"-guy playing Predator. There are some videos on YouTube. If you ask me, he is a rather technical player with profund character knowledge. Props to him, even though I couldn't find him on TYM.

Anyone know why in the corner sometimes I'll do the ex scimitar stab then jump forward kick and then the smart disc and 8 out of 10 times the disc whiffs? What's the timing for that?
 
i usually do njp, jump 2, jump back 4 smart disc
if the ex stab is in the middle of combo it's even hard to connect the disc
Yea, I noticed that in the corner if you jump back then punch or kick his discs connect, but if you jump forward and punch or kick his discs rarely connect, but since I've seen them connect then there has to be a way to do it. Maybe jump slower etc. also if the ex stab is in the middle of a combo do you mean in the corner or in general?

I mean there are combos like 212, 4 ex stab into corner. After ex stab, njp isn't recommended. Jump back 4 into smart disc can be used to optimize the damage but it's hard to connect the disc

Ah ok got it. So it's hard for you too? I thought I was doing something wrong but are you saying connecting the discs in the corner is hard for almost everyone?
 
Just curious but what specific combos are you doing that involve jk into disc in the corner and is the combo for damage or smart disc oki setups?

I'm just trying to do jump in discs after the enhanced stab in the corner, but they usually whiff. But for damage since the discs and I will be in mid air so no oki setups.,

Honestly there's a lot better/easier combos in the corner off of ex stab unless there's another combo I'm unaware of. B311~ ex stab, njp, s4~low laser, 32,1+3 gets you 43% and it's pretty simple. Advanced combo would be b311 ~ ex stab, njp, s4~low laser, s3~low laser, 32,1+3 and it does 47%

I can never get two low lasers in any of those combos, low lasers whiff when I try to do that combo you just mentioned.
