say that again
the amount of movie references is killing me.Purity: Eeeyikes! If this guy gets his hands on me, this Friday the 13th is gonna be my Final Chapter, and I'm going to Go To Hell! Hopefully if i hit him enough i can draw some New Blood, and maybe eventually X him out before he Takes Manhattan!
Jason:
I'm not sure if that should be listed as body puppetry as opposed to mind manipulation but that really might do the trick if he uses it early enough, given the confined space and small starting distance
He'll likely lead with it.
How can you tell that?
Since the guy is a game character, they can lead with pretty much anything.
Purity likely won't even know what's going on when he pops it since Pursuit reverses controls + their moves. Not sure how that'll play out in this match but it might make Purity use the wrong move or accidentally move right towards Jason's arms.
Not really, game characters with no personality lead with anything, but if a character has personality (and yknow, MKX had endings) then cutscenes take precedence.
Pursuit has an animation and makes the screen go red so I also wouldn't really come to the conclusion that people subjected to it wouldn't know what's going on unless that's shown somewhere. Maybe not the specifics but I feel like there'd be some awareness they're being messed with.
I doubt that's unreactable, given that'd be pretty busted in a fighting game. Given the animation shows him walking I wouldn't necessarily assume he can do it to a mid-air opponent either.
Yeah but she can also fly. So if she just goes up and range-spams Jason can't do much, given his range options seem limited to just throwing his machete.
Her flight speed is also about x4.5 her actual speed I realized.
Oh, that's actually a really good point. If this is taking place inside a bar then Purity has to successfully escape it which is a much more difficult prospect.
Well it depends on how enclosed we're talking
Do you think Jason would give a damn about being blinded? This man is a killing machine. Being blinded is the least of his worries. Purity flying is the most of his worries. But Jason dealt with zoners in game before.
Typically one needs to see their opponent to aim at them, regardless of whether they are a "killing machine" or not.
Pretty sure he dealt with brightness plenty of times. Getting blinded wouldn't really bother him that much. Plus, he can have his eyes gouged out by Reptile and keep fighting. Not being able to see the opponent is the least of his worries.
Here, he can get his eyes gouged out and literally stabbed out and get back up just fine, able to fight again even without his eyes.
X-Ray moves aren't considered canon, are they? Given that like, literally all MK characters should have type 2 immortality if they were.
The energy beams are effectively from a different power source than her physical stamina
Yeah, one of the reasons she has the powers she does is that she was stuck in a car wreck for days and starving to death, and thus gained the ability to absorb sunlight to sustain herself (and also fire it out for massive damage since Shards are almost always intended for offense in some capacity)
Mainly because yeah, X-Ray survival isn't even really that consistent with the game it shows up in. It's frequently criticized that the fatalities feel less lethal than those despite actually straight up killing a given opponent.
There are spectators for the match, lowlifes though.
She canonically went on a domestic terrorism spree over CPS taking her kid and also is a major cape involved with the Empire 88, the nazi faction
