So guys, uh, how do ... I deal with this character? Supposedly he's garbage, but he's actually potentially the character I struggle against most in the entire game with HQT Predator. And that goes for all variations, but I realise they're all very different.
Anyway, this variation seems to have good mixups and literally insane damage. The player I was up against was doing 40+ damage off of every midscreen combo if I recall correctly. Decent zoning a well, no? What's its weaknesses? Other than, I suppose, being meter hungry (and unsafe on EX OH launcher?).
And Balanced, Balanced. What do I do after high projectile? Run to gain ground? Predator's running speed is insanely slow, so it won't help much. I got the impression that his overhead projectile was sped up, too, not sure if it can be blocked on reaction (only played two games against Balanced Kenshi, in slight lag).
