T-800 Terminator General Discussion Thread

IT'S ARNOLD

​

So that's an instamain for me. How do you think he'll play? Grappler, rushdown, zoner, trap? LET'S GO.

He's coming out Oct. 8th
T-48 days


And @STORMS @CrimsonShadow can we get a Terminator sub-forum?

I wanted a Dimitri Vegas version of the T-800

I heard that Edward Furlong sold his likeness to be used in one of the Terminator outros.

He'd have to be a grappler no? Or at least a close range, in your face kinda playstyle. No way he'd be zoner.

 

[thlityoursloat]

If they make him a zoner I'm done. Similarly if they do the same thing as hellboy where he's this goofy fuck flying around the whole screen I'm also done.
Please do this character justice.

 

[xenogorgeous]

he will be an upgraded better "Jax" type in the game, using grappling and lots of gun shot moves ! cannot wait for the very first gameplay video of him !

I keep picturing him with something like Jason's b122, for some reason. I imagine some combination of super strength and zoning, similar to Jax. He better make good use of a chain gun, either as a normal, a special, in his FB, or in a fatality. Same with the grenade launcher. One fatality should involve liquid nitrogen and shattering.

That's what I'm thinking, but @STB Sgt Reed mentioned him being a trap character and it makes sense. I'm guessing he'll have something to shock and stun maybe?

 

[TheJaxLife]

I could see him being a lot like Jason. Covering himself in armor at the cost of mobility and a big fat cool down, could even see him having some sort of resurrect (though probably not in his tourney variations). At the end of the day, I just hope he is some sort of grappler.

I hope not lol. I need his moveset to revolve around his brute strength.

Maybe one variation for each style.

Yeah, they need to make better use of the variations for sure. If he has a grappler variation and a trap variation I'll be happy. Anything BUT zoning, please. XD

I think he looks really cool and im stoked it’s arnie but I can’t imagine how he would play. I would think he would be more firearms based. He’s definitely going to have the most health out of everyone.

 

[Deleted member 59910]

I think he’ll play similar to Lobo from IGAU.

 

[MsMiharo]

I look forward to the sound effects. Like Jax's arms sound amazing, hoping they go for a metal/flesh sound for Arnie

 

[FoughtDragon01]

Calling it now, this'll be his gear:

1. Clothes
2. Boots
3. Motorcycle

 

[Deleted member 5032]

If he had a Shao Kahn-esque “taunt” where he says “I’ll be back” and then comes back if he dies within a window, I would never be able to play another character.

Omg I hope his FB is him grabbing your ass, throwing you over his shoulder and getting on his motorcycle lmao

 

[Deleted member 5032]

Fatality idea: He grabs the opponent, grabs a chain, and lowers himself and the opponent slowly into a vat of molten metal. Then a robot hand and skeleton hand both float up doing the “thumbs up”.

 

[Cobainevermind87]

I'd probably have to check myself into an institution if he turned out to be a zoner. Been looking forward to his release ever since the leaks, it would just be heartbreaking.

Nothing against zoners, it's just not the way I enjoy playing.

"We gave him some tools that really allow him to control a lot of space."

Like a MINIGUN

"So here's Terminator, I would say he's one of the game's premier zoners."

 

[TheJaxLife]

If the 'shotgun in a box of roses' isn't one of his intros...I will greatly question NRS design decisions.

I hope as the fight goes on instead of arnold getting bloody his endoskeleton starts to show.

 

[FoughtDragon01]

But real talk, since the shotgun seems pretty prominent in the promo material thus far, I imagine he'll use it in strings as well as specials, way more than Jax's grenade launcher, for instance.

So I expect it'll be less careful spacing and zoning, and more "I'm shoving this thing so far up your ass, your ancestors will taste the lead."
