Though we were not stoked to see him on the roster, the Terminator does have some potential.
The MK 11 Terminator came to our consoles and we wanted to share our thoughts on how we would have made him play.
JG13 Gamer sat down and came up with some moves, combos, and more for his version of the Terminator.
He was inspired Jiren from Dragonball Z Fighterz because of his move set which centers around a command grab normal along with a physical and projectile counter. Another one influence for the Terminator’s moveset was Bane’s trait from Injustice 2.
