VideoGamezYo was using Dark Fate and REO was breaking out Dark Fate on a few KL runs.
I think Mustard is also using him but I have yet to find anyone using Final Judgment but we shall see, they could be hiding it for the next legal major

Hello guys,I started maining terminator because I like the character,and so far,I learned every string,special and combo.The variation I use is called Destroyer.After spending enough time in the lab,I went online and I kept losing with him over and over.It seems that I get countered every time by the other player,and his strings don't really have a lot of range on them.Any tips and advice you guys can give me? Thanks :)

The D2 is really good for certain conversions but its not an AA imo. His D3 AA is 2nd best in the game and his s1/B3 are Godlike from range.

Believe it is not I played vs a very good Shang Tsung with Final Judgment and was having serious problems getting through Ground Skull/Corpse/Straight Skull. But Dark Fate is my go to for Shang That Running Man

I've accidentally played fj a couple times. I'm not really a setup fan. Destroyer is my go to if the opponent won't stay grounded infiltrator toss has way more success for me than literally any other AA

B3 f4 b and your longest reaching buttons. Make sure every non grounded combo ends in the CMD grab. Destroyer is all about the 50/50 so make sure your changing it up constantly. The oh is save the low is not. If the opponent is grounded make sure you use one or the other at the end of every combo. Infiltrator toss is broke

Can't find it in the thread so I'll ask what's likely already been asked

How the hell do you trigger the al b back breaker KB. I've done every direction of the cmd grab on practice mode and the thing still doesn't trigger on amplify, what gives

You have to do
Meterless Forward and back throw and Metered Forward throw then do the Amplified back throw for the KB

You can do those first 3 in any order but the non directional Metered Albi Backbreaker has to be last.

You can see which one to do last by looking in move list, it has the KB listed on it.

Had a pretty good run today with dark fate. Only issues were geras and a throw spamming Kano. Well subzero is annoying usually but that's here nor there. It's feeling ALOT better been working more on my footsies and I can already see a difference.

You really have to play patient with Destroyer until you feel like you can get in. Poke with D4 or D1, and cash in when you get the chance. Once you get your f2 and f3 game going, you can melt a health bar if you change up your mixes. If they get used to blocking f32, after the f3 you can do your low special to catch them, or you can tick throw. I’m bad at explaining things but yeah I’ve been playing this variation a lot.

Was playing casual mode against Terminator and he had this move where he becomes invincible and any attack I do against him is a counter. Nothing stopped him.

I knew he had some kind of move like this but I didn't know he could use it from full health and keep using it so long as he has a bar.

How to defend against this? I've faced 3 terminators in a row doing this exact same thing.

I was using this move yesterday. It's waaaaay too fun, specially if you pair it with running man. I think the way to defend against Arnie when the move is active is just to stay away. He uses one defensive and one offensive bar to activate it, and loses dashing and jumping. If you have projectiles with fast recovery, you can chuck it at him to try to lower his health while retreating, but generally I would recommend just staying away and let him waste his resources.

I was playing against a Scorpion that had the tele-cancel and whenever I activated, he just went full screen using the cancel. On top of that, I didn't have running man equipped. That meant that I could only activate when I was near, he had no defensive bar and I had a bar of each to spare. Needless to say, I didn't use that ability much that match.
Later on, with running man equiped, I was playing against a Liu Kahn. The first match ended with me doing a full screen armored running man into big boot brutality. My wife sitting beside me, minding her own business thought I was having a stroke, since I couldn't stop laughing.

No it doesn't but it works vs every low poke and believe it or not Slide moves like Shangs Reptile Slide, Subs Slide and many more. For some reason specials that hit low register as a low poke to his short hop KB.

Its actually kind of strong

I did not know this my God am I about to start ASS FUCKING sub zeros bitch self now...

edit: Something else semi like this if you do jaxs burning hammer with the right timing ofc, you can catch shit like errons f4. and potentially infiltrator toss works the same way?

Do you use Dark Fate? If so I just shared a new OS that beats his F3 options including F3xxRM1.
I'm so glad I like Final Judgment and that OS doesn't effect him since he catches the OS with grenade.
Destroyer has the BF3 to catch OS but there is a different OS for him.

Cage 3rd variation is cancerous to go against as well. He wins everywhere, zoning, mid range even up close with d4 spam and the pushback from his kicks string. Is it just me or it feels like 4-6 or even 3-7?

Yes it is. Pretty much anyone with real range is an issue.

Use V3 it fixes those issues. You are able to convert off his F4/B1 and actually get something off D4 max range with let's you outrange Kabals B1.
Terminator has mad range and a very strong wavedash doubling his buttons range but in DF he doesn't really get anything off Those buttons while V3 is safe on block -4 with them and gets setups and combo on hit and has other mind games with grenades to set up +40 on block when they are respecting you conditioning with Amped Ion.

DF has Shotgun Restands that's +16. When ch is strong but V3 deals with kabal so much easier
