### Special Moves

	+ **Cloaking:**Predator is completely immune to chip damage as as long as it's cloaked.
* **Smart-Disc:**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 can be canceled if Predator gets hit, and it can be performed in the air. When the disc connects an airborne opponent, it keeps them in the air for a moment, allowing the Predator to continue combos if close enough.

	+ **Death Blow:**Triggered if the Predator counters, which causes major blood loss and doubles the damage.

	+ **Scimitar Slam:**Predator finishes it by instead slamming the opponent on the ground, bouncing them for a juggle.
	+ **Death Blow:**Triggered if the Predator counters, the Predator damages their internal organs, deals increased damage and allows for a juggle.

	+ **Yautja Pounce:**Has increased damage and 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 it. After a moment, the Predator will emit an explosion, damaging itself and juggling the opponent. The effect will be canceled if Predator is hit. When blocked, the attack produces massive knockback.
	+ **Self-Destruct:**Activates much faster, has the Predator recover from the attack much quicker and reduces the damage dealt to the Predator by half but doubles the damage inflicted on the opponent.
* **Snag:**The Predator throws a triangular trap that takes a second to become active. Once activated, if the opponent steps onto it, they will be caught and hung upside-down, open for the Predator to attack. The trap can be thrown at three different ranges and even from mid-air, and Predator can detonate the trap which will juggle the opponent if nearby.
* **Plasma Shot:**The Predator uses his shoulder cannon to shoot a plasma projectile straight at the opponent. If the attack is delayed, the Predator will be able to target the projectile up, down or forward with a red laser indicator before firing.

### Slash Move

* **What the Hell:**The Predator stabs his opponent with his wrist blades, then throws them behind it. As they get up, the Predator fires a plasma caster shot to the face, breaking most of their skull's facial bones. The Predator then deploys a trap which catches the opponent and hangs them upside down, then the Predator uses a Smart-Disc to slice the opponent's neck and sever their spine. He then deploys his scimitar again and impales the opponent's abdomen, causing their stomach to explode. The Predator rips his opponent from their binds and throws them away.

### Execution Moves

* **Ghostin' Us:**The Predator deploys his plasma caster, locks onto the opponent, and shoots a hole into their abdomen, then blasts off 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 part of their head in a spray of gore.
* **El Diablo:**The Predator deploys his wrist blades and stabs his opponent, then lifts them in the air and rips their head off along with their spine hanging.
