Wait, they gave Robo the exact same mid-knee as Terminator? Sheeeeeeeesh.
He seems to share Shang Tsung's overhead KB animation as well. Not sure if it leads to a pop up, but it only looks different because their hands are different. Same chop and everything.

It's crazy how they fucked up on his gun. It either fires 3-round bursts, 7-round bursts or is fully automatic. NOWHERE IN ROBOCOP HISTORY OR LORE DOES IT STATE HE ONLY EVER FIRES ONE SHOT AT AN EFFING TIME.

THE HELL, NRS? >=O
Leave it to NRS right? Oh we gotta have the ED209! Put in the jetpack! Have him target the guy's dick! Oh wait we fucked up one of the most basic elements of the character's design whoops.

Other than that one thing he looks amazing. His firing poses, his walk cycle, they nailed everything else. Seeing him in that intro with Baraka was when it really came together and I'm glad hes at least representing the cyborgs a little bit

It's okay. Outside of the gun bit, they did nail him rather well.

Wow, I'm really impressed! He looks way better than he did in any of the artwork they had previously shown. The gun issue is a little annoying, but at least it seems like it always fires more than once, it's just more of a slow blam-blam-blam than the blamblamblam it should be. I love how they incorporate the data spike, ED-209, the nut shot, and the giant Clarence Boddicker gun that I can't remember the name of. Can't wait to see his friendship! The only other Fatality idea I would have been thrilled with is if he shot the person out a window and their arms were too long as they fell:


Gameplaywise, he's looking solid, though I try not too put too much stock into NRS gameplay trailers. There's a decent chance a lot of those moves aren't usable together, or are slapped onto otherwise useless variations. Can't wait to try him out, though!

[edit] And holy shit, that cyber ninja skin is pretty fucking awesome.

Boyyyyy. LEMME LAY SOME KNOWLEDGE ON YA.

Barrett M82 (as the "Cobra Assault Cannon")
When Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith) and his gang are asked by Dick Jones (Ronny Cox) to kill RoboCop, they are provided with an experimental military weapon being developed by OCP called the "Cobra Assault Cannon". The Cobras are actually older-specification Barrett M82 long-range .50 BMG rifles which have been dressed up extra plastic housing over the receivers and fitted with gigantic scopes.

Here is all of his gameplay footage from the trailer (just gameplay, no intros or Fatalities):








Take any NRS gameplay trailer with a huge grain of salt, but based on this footage, here's what it looks like:
  • The Riot Shield can parry hits and block projectiles. Could be both at once or vary by variation/amplify, like Shang's Smoke Parry (though I don't see an amplify flash).
  • he'll have either a forward throw KB or a "punish roll with a throw" kb
  • he has several of Terminator's normals, including the knee, and the far-reaching kick, and the advancing triple punch
  • his air-dash looks super unsafe
  • the flame-thrower looks like it keeps the opponent standing (though it's amplified in the trailer)
  • It looks like he'll have setups where he can end kombos with the delayed electric grenade or the slow-moving rocket, both of which require meter

It looks like it shoots...again? lol What the Hell? That looks pointless.
Yeah, looks like just some extra damage and sends them full-screen. We didn't see any actual zoning (since the slow rocket hit point blank). I'm also worried I was right that his Riot Shield will block projectiles but recover too slowly to really capitalize on it, like almost every other move in the game that blocks (not parries) projectiles.

This is contender for the most well done guest character in this game, probably tied with Joker. Love all the nods and references, especially with his fatals!
I’m interested, he’s my backup out of these three if Sheeva let’s me down. His auto 9 is odd, idk how they messed that up, it actually reminds me a lot of how they did Red Hood

The more I watch the footage, the more worried I am that all of his moves seem to send the opponent full-screen, yet he doesn't seem to have any full-screen presence...

I'm predicting:
  • he's going to be some kind of mid-range brawler
  • only one variation will be able to amplify his missile to slow it down
  • Since the flamethrower and missile come out of his arm, I bet one will replace the other in their respective variations. So he'll have to give up his zoning to have the flamethrower restand.

Sometimes he fires one round, but yes, his Auto-9 is primary a 3 round burst machine pistol that can "cut" limbs off. Don't know why they wouldn't show off the famous 3 round burst with the BRRRR sound effect. I guess it's an EX move?
 
Btw I think the pistol doesn't burst fire possibly in order to not break some of the weaker projectile reflect/absorb tools in the game.
Edit: Actually, that doesn't explain his forward throw so nevermind, I dunno.

Gotta say to the OP RoboCop. i applaud your excitement for the character. you seem to be a superfan and always nice to see stuff like that. Robo-Cop though always reminds me of that Friends episode where Rachel compares Jane Ayre to Robo-Cop. lol
