50% with 1 meter and self destruct active

 

[zoofs]

b311xxEX BF4, njp, j1xxAir drone thing, run j2, b22xxBF 4 = 40% midscreen with insane corner carry off a low

you can also do run f4 into a safe self destruct setup

b311 ex bf4, njp, jik bf2, run, 4 bf4 is 42 and much easier

 

[Gengar]

So help me god if this gets fixed.. leave it.. its by design lol

read the thread. it is indeed by design. there is no 'fixing'

safe self destruct setup vs reptiles ex slide

50% with 1 meter and self destruct active

I'd rather get 47-48% and not put myself in the corner

 

[SplitMushroom]

Yeah iunno I have the basic 42% BnB, the 46% off of a grab/self-destruct type thing, and I'm jacking that self-destruct set-up. Ballin.

This variation has the most damage, but unless I'm missing something, it all feels incredibly gimmicky. Setting up the Self-Destruct and then finding a way to hit it on an opponent means you ALWAYS have to do more work than your opponent in any given situation. Maybe something will be discovered that makes me eat my words (I'll admit gladly if it ever happens) but right now I don't see what this variation has going for it compared to the other two.

Same here. I was wondering what uses itll have for the future. There have been other variations in the game that seemed "useless"but turned out to be really good.

TBH I hardly ever use SD, the reason I like this one better than the other two so far, gameplaywise, is the command overhead. SD is just for the Brutality and taking advantage of a life lead rarely.

the aerial version has some shenanigans as well.

Can't really find a use for bf1 though, outside of it looking cool as fuck in combos.

 

[omooba]

anyone trying to get some games in tonight? i'd love to fight a good predator. psn D0PR1NC3

 

[MastererBetty]

The overhead move from the air is -7 so hey why not

 

[Reauxbot]

Im having a rough time figuring out what this variation brings. :/

 

[_CHINOCUDEIRO_]

Whats the use of its BF1 move? It hits mid ,and it does less damage than BF4 ...ex version does a popup but like esBF4 or exDB2 ...and its not safe also
Am I missing something or its worthless?

 

[TakeAChance]

Does anyone else feel like the self destruct is actually supposed to be unblockable? It just doesn't make sense if it isn't.

I made a status update about this earlier as well. Best I can see is that it's SAFER than the other options on block, but if you are playing against Kung Lao/cassie you are still screwed. I'm guessing it will be used as a meter builder against some of the cast.

B311-exDB2B
Not a combo but its a low-mid-mid into a overhead with a very small frames between

i hate that these things doesnt even combo with anything. DB2 EX or not EX doesnt combo. Even AI on auto block, will block the DB2 everytime. So that move is really only meant to use as standalone attack? Thats so stupid imho.

Dude it's an instant air overhead that's -7. That's hella good

yah its good, but i still hate that you cant combo it, would make warrior little bit less gimmicky i think

b31 into db2 combos, but ex bf4 is way better. you should only really be using the air db2 anyway

B3 into meterburned close db2 is a low overhead combo starter which is super useful.

Man...players' reaction times are getting worse every game aren't they?

I haven't got a chance to hit the lab again, but I really REAAAALLY wanted to main Predator Warrior but it looks gimmicky and bad, pretty bad.

I can live with DB2 not being comboable, BF1 being a stupid looking move without a clear use. But what I cannot tolerate is Self-Destruct not being unblockable and that a single hit makes it go away; you can't design the move to have 2 such drawbacks, pick one not both! What's the point on risking it everytime you wanna use it? Whereas Hunter can do setups anywhere on the screen, ambiguos setups I might add, plus the Trap holds them in the air for so long you can even heal in between combos.

I'm pissed.

his air overhead strike is completely safe if done at a certain distance, also im thinking about ending combos into f4, throw disc out, then activate self destruct. Its not fullproof against full screen wakeups but atleast it keeps some in check

they could atleast make his EX self destruct unblockable, i wouldnt mind spending the meter

or maybe decrease startup on both

I think if they made any version of SD unblockable it would have to go away on block too. Having a safe launcher that forces the opponent to either go offensive and then block a mixup or just try and block everything and wait it out is pretty effective.

Does anyone know if SD goes away if you armor threw something? (I'm bout to hop in the lab real quick and try some things all over for Predator)

EDIT: SD stays on after you armor through something. It catches people during the animation for them teching a throw. But if you tech a throw the slight damage will turn it off.
