But the saw... the saw is family
Kung Lao and A-List are very hard matchups for HQT. I never thought I'd say this but maybe warrior (for the armour) might be better? Idk, I'd miss the cancels and lasers but the fast armour is tempting in these match ups...
 
Hi I'm new to playing predator, which variation would you guys recommend me starting with? Which is the easiest? Funniest? Strongest?

Hello there, total noob here but decided to give hunter predator a go (along with ermac) and one thing that bothers me is this. How do you guys connect disk after jik? e.g. 212 jik disk, for some reason I've been stuck in the lab for a good amount of time and cant figure out the trick.

I like to do b22 into disc after 212. Jik is possible, but you got to be really quick.

There's no video thread for predator so I figured I'd post in here.

REO has been putting up some fantastic videos of online sets he's having with other fantastic players. Here's his Hunter vs FKJR's Lackey and I just thought it was a reallly good set. Shows that hunter isn't all about the mix and setups, but about controlling spacing and zoning some people out with the trap, smart disc AND interactibles. Very fun to watch.

 
How long did it take you guys to get the pcc consistently? And after what string is the pcc better?
It only jails on s4, but there are pluses, you have somewhere here , 21 pcc, i can do it everytime consistently, its thr easiest cancels because you dont need to run, 21 pcc, b31 pcc, 12 pcc... etc... but you neee to expect armor , so njp or njk sometimes after pcc is great or block to counterpoke
 
12 pcc and b2 pcc are both +8 which can jail into his d3.
Nice, didn't know that. I will use 12 pcc d3 more often because my opponents somehow likes to poke after 12pcc
Now when you guys say certain cancels and strings jail into something what exactly do you guys mean? Does that mean that 12pcc can cancel into d3 and then what do you do? I mean what does the whole function of jailing do?
