Machiko the human predator

I’d purchase her as a Pred…

Max human stats, smaller hit box than a Scout Pred, improved Stealth via no clicking or footsteps, the ability to scale trees but also blend into them more effectively. She should be a very stealth heavy character, and may need to have a leap for escape purposes. There is the possibility that she has an improved second wind that acts as a shield shedding any damage she takes and activating more often to allow hit and run tactics.

As a FT member, I think she’d be a great free bonus or level bonus. Also a way to add a perk that allows the use of Pred weapons.
(I really want to use Pred weapons with my FT scout.)

Her stats can be more closely aligned with Dutch if she’s a FT. Should still have very high speed and stamina, low gear… decent health. I think giving her a cloak and the ability to use Pred weapons as class skills (New perks), would be fine if hard at first. The cloak can have a very short time limit if she’s FT.

New modes might limit us to one of each class but as that’s not the case with quick play, we might need some limiter on her so it’s not all lobbies full of her. Possibilities for limiting include.

  • a ticket system, where one person in the lobby can be a special character. Randomly rolled after you all load in but before you leave the lobby.
  • A new mechanic where if you find a “Yautja radio”, you can swap from your FT to her.

Other special characters might arrive later allowing you to select them instead. At first it would only be her, but other things could be added.

No no no no… no… no… no

Yah! I love the idea of the ft getting knifed!

I’d rather have Lynn kurosawa as a FT

I’m sensing you don’t want something… do those ‘no’s’ correlate to specific points on my posts or was it a fit of no’s in more a general sense.

Machiko is part of the AvP universe. Not the Predator universe. Wouldn’t make sense and this game should remain a Predator game.

It’s all fodder for content, why draw imaginary lines through imaginary ideas.

Bring on the aliens… as bots. so I can claim them and have cool trophies.

Isn’t she from street fighter?

No she’s from the AVP arcade game but that game was made by capcom

I am fairly certain she would be unable to jump to trees the way normal predators do.

I would not Hate the idea. I mean I wouldn’t buy/care at all, but I think having her (not now, further down the road) as a FT strealthier melee class with some perks could be viable. Wouldn’t be opposed to that. If so however she must to be made to be unable to easily stalk the predator. Otherwise it would 1)ruin the gameplay/fun for predators 2)make PC premades go from ultra hard to invincible cheat mode

I personally don’t feel there is a fit for machiko within the predator cinematic universe which the game is clearly based on.

Comics do some out there things, things that make sense only in a comic capacity but wouldn’t translate well in the movie or in this game.

I think this is one of those things. Sorry, just my two cents.

P.s. Mike Harrigan and Royce ftw.

100% agree. But seeing as they added the samurai, I am preparing for the worst

I know she is from the future but I have 2 words that could change that.

“ Time travel “

How else are we supposed to get scorpion from mortal kombat into the game ?

By “anime” are you talking about Machiko, Lynn Kurosawa, or both? None have ever been in anime. One is from the OG AvP comics/novels and one is from an AvP video game. The pic was just game companion art.

Keep that horseload of cringy weeaboo trash out of the game and hopefully out of the lore once Disney wipes the sheets clean. It’s the worst designed character in the whole franchise undermining the role of the predator as the apex hunter in the universe. I can understand when a human can kill a predator by accident, but turning a human into a predator, especially a pencil pusher, is just retarded. To further improve the cringe, her father committed seppuku (ritual suicide), and she has a katana in her room on another planet. She is just the typical Asian trope and not a well-designed character. Unfortunately, the comics are not that good even though they did further expand the predator universe and did deliver a fountain of lore in times of draught regarding the franchise.
