If I'm reading Sil right, I agree.
I found Pussyface better than Anytime, predator wise.
I hope those two are unrelated, cos that last part's not what I'm saying. At all.
QuoteThat takes skill if you really think about it
The Predator, while cloaked, dropped into a room full of drug-dealers who had just literally crammed cocaine into their faces and who had no room to move. That's not skill, that's a basic understanding of how a blender works -- tight space + blades = puree.
QuoteIts also tougher to remain undetected in a urban eviroment then a jungle enviroment.
Except if you just, y'know, go really high on a building. Which Pussyface did. The entire movie.
QuoteAlso Pussyface took out a goverment strike team (that had a good understanding on what they were fighting) with grace and skill and in close combat with his cloaking offline and resticted to a more limited vision mod
As I've said to other people over the years, if everyone had been using live rounds, Pussyface would have been shot to hell. Would he have been killed? No. But he received multiple sustained blasts from the liquid nitrogen guns -- replace that with live rounds and you've got a hurt Predator.
QuoteHe also took like what 6? 8? 12 gauge shot gun shells at point blank range and still got back up again.
Only two or three were direct hits; the rest glanced or hit the armour as well.
QuoteAlso I didn't find Pussyface firing wildly with a plasma caster when he got hit harder than he would liked unlike Anytime.
Anytime sprayed the area that he was hit from to try and flush out a target he couldn't see. What's wrong with that?
Anytime was such a God-damn badass that he
simply couldn't be killed by his prey. Pussyface got cut to shit, had his ass kicked halfway across the city and then got gutted like a friggin' fish. By his own weapon. At the end of the day the original Predator was the far more intelligent -- he picked his fight carefully and he owned it like a boss.
Pussyface leapt in and butchered a shitload of people, yes, but as the end of the movie showed, all that was needed for him to be stopped
at any point during that was one guy with a shotgun who wasn't a complete moron. That's a pretty tenuous thing separating his victories from a massive ass-whooping.
