### Special Moves

* **Stealth:**The Predator activates a cloak ability in his wrist gauntlet, temporarily becoming invisible. While in Stealth mode, the Predator takes only half chip damage from the opponent. The Predator will sparkle when hit and sustaining too much damage will cause the cloak to end prematurely.
	+ **Cloaking:**The Predator is completely immune to chip damage for as long as he is cloaked.
* **Smart-Disc:**The Predator launches a razored disc upward, where it will spin for a second before tracking the opponent and flying straight at them. However, the disc will get canceled if Predator is hit, even when the attack is blocked. It can also be performed from the air. When the disc connects with an airborne opponent, it keeps them in the air for a moment, allowing the Predator to continue combos if close enough.
	+ **Dual Smart-Disc:**The Predator launches an additional disc and doubles the juggle effect if Predator is close enough to the opponent.
* **Scimitar Stab:**The Predator lunges at the opponent to stab their abdomen and lift them with his retractable wrist blades, and then throws them away. The move also gave the option to throw the opponent in the opposite direction.
	+ **Scimitar Slam:**The Predator slams the opponent on the ground at the end, bouncing them to extend combos.
* **Yautja Strike:**The Predator leaps towards the opponent and takes them down by slamming his arms over their head. The move can also be performed in the air and it can be done close or from afar. The far version of the attack can reach full-screen distance.
	+ **Yautja Pounce:**The Predator bounces the opponent, leaving them in the air and allowing for a juggle.
* **Self-Detonate:**The Predator inputs a command in his wrist gauntlet and laughs maniacally and begins to emit a blue pulse around him. After a moment, the Predator will emit an explosion, damaging itself and juggling the opponent. The opponent can block the attack to prevent damage and the juggle effect. This effect will be canceled if the Predator takes damage. When blocked, the attack produces massive knockback.
* **Snag:**The Predator throws a triangular trap on the ground that takes a second to become active. Once activated, if the opponent steps on it, they will be caught and hung upside down, open for the Predator to attack. The trap can be thrown at close, medium and far distances and even from mid-air. Inputting the attack's command again will detonate the trap, which if the opponent is near them, will juggle them.
* **Plasma Shot:**The Predator uses his shoulder cannon to shoot a plasma projectile straight at the opponent. If the attack is delayed, the Predator gains the ability to target the projectile up, down or forward with a red laser indicator before firing.
	+ **Plasma Barrage:**The Predator fires three additional projectiles in a quick succession. The final shot will knock the opponent away.
* **Dread Slam:**The Predator hits the opponent with a powerful backhand, knocking them back.
	+ **Dread Launch:**The opponent is instead launched into the air for a juggle and creates massive knockback if blocked.

### Throws

* **Forward Throw:**The Predator lifts the opponent, stabs their abdomen with his wrist blades and cuts them up to the chest with it. He then vertically rips the blade off of their body and throws them away.
* **Backward Throw:**The Predator impales the opponent with his wrist blade and fires his plasma cannon multiple times into their face until they are blasted away.

### Gruesome Move

* **What the Hell:**The Predator initiates his Gruesome Move by stabbing the opponent with his wrist blades, then throws them behind it. As they get up, the Predator impales the opponent with his spear which causes their stomach to explode. The opponent slides down the spear while still impaled and the Predator fires his plasma cannon into their face, breaking most of the skull's facial bones. The Predator then removes the spear and uses his foot to pin down the opponent on the ground while raising his wrist blade to stab them in the throat, severing their spine.

### Execution Moves

* **Ghostin' Us:**The Predator deploys his Wrist Blades and stabs the opponent before ripping it out which bursts out their intestines over the ground. The Predator then wields a Smart-Disc and swiftly throws it through their head, slicing their head horizontally from the top to reveal their brain.
* **Certain Death:**The Predator deploys his Plasma Caster, locks onto the opponent, and shoots a hole into their abdomen, then blasts off of one of their arms. As they writhe in agony, the Predator moves his targeting sights to the opponent's head, then blasts off the upper head in a spray of gore.
* **El Diablo:**The Predator cuts off both of the opponent's arms with his wrist blades and then blasts off both of their legs with his plasma caster. As the opponent screams in pain, the Predator examines the opponent before grabbing their neck and rips off their head with their spine still attached. The Predator roars in victory and returns to his ship, where he places the opponent's cleaned skull as part of the collection alongside the skulls of the Predator's other victims.
* **Skinned Alive:**The Predator deploys his Wrist Blade and stabs at the opponent, then lifts them into the air and suddenly a cable ties itself around the opponent's legs and sends them high up into the air as the Predator watches. The Predator then cloaks himself and disappears while laughing before the opponent's agonizing screams are heard and they suddenly drop down dangling upside down skinned alive.
* **Anytime:**The Predator activates commands in his wrist gauntlet before laughing maniacally. The Predator then chokes the opponent and cracks their neck in the process before staring into their eyes, then they both explode due to the self-destruction bomb into gore and bloody pools. Their limbs and organs then fall back onto the arena.
* **If It Bleeds:**The Predator slams the opponent's head, crushing their neck inward and forcing the opponent to their knees. He then deploys his spear, stabbing the opponent in the stomach and lifting them up into the air. Predator then slams their body on the ground, cutting the opponent vertically in half with the spear, with their head falling through their severed body into a pile of their organs underneath their upright but collapsing body.
