Eraser is a film where Arnold Schwarzenegger fights an alligator after jumping out of an airplane trying to kill James Caan.

Well, looks like we are cutting up Arnold's likeness after all. I find some of these kind of hard to watch.

Oh, one of the skins is brown jacket / red shirt like Jack Slater.

Arnold having robot guts is super cool and really shows you the missed potential with characters like Geras

It's because he's silent the whole time except for the gurgle from Noob's fatality, he's not making Arnold sounds during any of it.

The blood is coming from Baraka's gums

I thought about calling that out earlier, but honestly Baraka taking a bite out of a machine doesn't seem out of character at ALL

My favorite Terminator dialogue was one he has work Jade. He tells her that Johnny Cage has a code name for her.

Kotal got freed from bottom-tier character jail with the new patch so to celebrate I did up some combos on him showcasing the classics/the new stuff

Also man Terminator is gonna be friggin bonkers. His damage is high, and even before you pick a variation hes gonna be a low/overhead 50-50 coin flip monster. Basically a MKX character in MK11.

How do I reliably pull off Close, Far, and Very Far versions of abilities that have those options? Almost 700 hours in the game and I still can't get those inputs down. Is it something like holding down the last input that changes the range or what?

Mr. Neutron
Sep 15, 2012

~I'M THE BEST~
700 hours? Jesus.

Anyway the secret is in inputing the last direction rapidly just as the move starts to execute. Some are more difficult to pull off than others.

Skarlet's new variation is ridiculously good. 340+ damage off her standard launcher for no meter. Almost 300 damage from a simple f43. Pressure for days and a completely safe damage amplifier in the corner that also decreases opponent damage. She's Kombat Krazy!

I just do the motion, hit the button, then hold the direction I want for the aim. Nothing complex.

I load up this game on a nearly daily basis and I'm still only just under 300 hours on Steam.

And yeah, that's basically it. You want a far version, hold forward immediately upon inputting the command. Want close, hold away.

Thanks, guys. Confirms the things I've been trying have at least been right but my fat, arthritic fingers are probably getting in the way and hitting too many other directional keys on the way to the one I want.

One thing that's interesting is he seems to have a projectile blocker in addition to his regular block. Jax shoots projectiles at him and Terminator turns his back to him to block it.

I assume you are playing on pad. When you do the motion just take your thumb right off the pad, then hit the direction you want. If you are sliding your finger across the D-pad that is the enemy of precision. Might take you a second to get used to the concept but its easy enough in the end. Do motion, hit button, lift thumb up, then place thumb on desired direction, no fuss, no muss.

It's a projectile absorb, any number of hits over ~2-4 seconds I can't remember exactly how long but it's long and you can drop it early.
