3 Cycle Predator Fight

I was doing some off-line runs tonight, and did something I only theorized about being possible before. Here is a 3 cycle predator fight in stage 4.

Hell yeah dude! Looking at it again, it appears that the first shot is either first or second frame, and the last shot appears to be last possible frame as well. Either way, the timing is super tight.

Very well done! Slaughterhouse told me back in the day that 5 hits/cycle was possible, but I never saw video of it, and the best I could do was a 4 cycle.

Pretty sweet to see verification that it is in fact possible. GGs

After re-watching, if you can clean up the platforming while you switch grips, it seems like a minimal time loss on the change up, and it could save 1-1.5 seconds over a 4 cycle, which already saves ~ 2 seconds.

So 3 seconds to save and 6 predator fights would be about 18 seconds if you somehow got all 3 cycle fights, which seems crazy to think about due to the RNG nature of the predator jumps lol.

You seem pretty consistent at least getting a back-up 4 cycle for a few of the fights, and your timing & mashing are really good. Hopefully you can get a 3 cycle in a run/pb.

I have a theory that there is a small window where you can shoot predator before he jumps to prevent him from moonwalking on the first cycle, but thats another project for a different time. If there was a manip to prevent predator from the horizontal jumps that would be a huge time save as that could basically guarantee 4 cycles or even 3 cycles.

Yeah, if we can crack the code on the horizontal predator, that would be huge for time-save. I haven't noticed anything super consistent yet though.

Good shit. I'm terrible at mashing, so could never do this consistently. I also had to swap to holding the controller in an odd position which didn't help matters. Consistency here would be a huge time save. The only video of me performing it was from 5 years ago when I was just seeing if it was possible on console:
