So a few days ago I came across someone who I guess is some tester leaking info on Tremor's gameplay and how his variations play out

My summery: He's like Kenshi in that all of his special moves change depending on the variation

These are the bits he gave me and other people


Tremor will have an EX special, which is a 3hit fullscreen ground unblockable dealing 13% damage. The best part is, it hits OTG so it's a guaranteed unscaled unbreakable and unescapable damage after several moves.

Yes, normal version is an unblockable fullscreen ground pound, but pretty slow, 8% damage, and doesn't OTG.


Unblockable Ground pound is a universal ability.
Aftershock's ability is another ground pound, which you activate and it somewhat "detonates" after 3 seconds and hits low, isn't a unblockable. Generally it's pretty shitty because it has long startup and long detonation time, I culdnt find any viable oki setups with it.

BUT Aftershock has also an aerial ground pound which is another story. It's pretty cool - fast AERIAL LOW which knocks up (no followup available though), can be cancelled out of jumping attacks (so you have overhead into low while still being in air) and is advantageous on block. Best part - EX version launches for a full combo. So when jumping in you have basically a mixup with normal jumpin/air pound.


Crystalline's unique abilities are: Armor up - Tremor crystallizes up (quite fast) and gains reduced chip damage for a few seconds or until hit AND when hit by a attack, he gets reduced hitstun. Shit's not exactly like getting one hit of armor, but when you're charged up, getting hit by, let's say uppercut doesn't launch you, only (hit)stuns for couple of frames. You have to see this to get a hang of it, pretty dope anyways.
EX version NEGATES all chip damage for a few seconds (or until hit) and gets same "one hit of reduced hitstun" property.

Crystal's second unique ability is summoning a boulder - you can then throw it like an interactable OR jump away from it - again, like using an interactable. You can have only one on screen, but in mirror match two Tremors can have them both AND you can use enemy Tremor's boulder (when playing as another character, you can't use Tremor's boulder as an interactable, I'm not sure if it's intended though).


So metallic's universal ability is switching between "Golden" mode and "Lava" mode. These two stances change his other special's properties; Gold has tweaked fireballs, whereas Lava is more combo oriented - more launchers, launchers knockup higher, more hitstun etc. You always strt in Gold mode and want to switch to Lava asap basically.

Maybe I'll also write up about Tremor's universal abilities, because he has a lot.

I told you earlier about his unblockable ground pound. It's his only ability which is the same for all of his variations. His all other specials have different properties inbetween variations - I won't write them all bc I'm going to sleep, so bear with me. Here's a short writeup.

So first, he has a projectile similar to Shinnok's ceiling skelly hands - he summons some rocks falling from the sky, which hit overhead and track the enemy - or you can use left/right to summon them behind/in front of the opponent. Projectile doesn't disappear if Tremor gets hit. You can do some cool oki hard-to-blockable overhead/low setups with this or just force the opponent to block on his wakeup when ending combos with it.
Next one is just a normal projectile - Tremor tosses a slow travelling boulder, slow startup, but is kinda advantageous on block when finishing blockstrings with it (but it's interruptable). Can be ducked even with block. Pretty shit imo.

He has a low hitting projectile, similar to Kabal's buzzsaws from MK9; hits low and knocks down, but travels and starts up a little slower than Kabal's. In Metallic-Lava mode, it also launches for a full combo, lol. It's okay move.


He has a "Boulder smash" - low-medium range mid hitting punch move (range is lower than Jax's dash punch) which knocks away, EX has armor, both -7 on block. On startup, Tremor can press down to make it an overhead, which ground bounces for a nice combo (-12 on block, ex also has armor), or press up to make it a mid hitting launcher - the difference between an overhead version is, it launches not bounces and has +1% dmg (also a nice combo filler). You can charge up ex version to hit it later or dash cancel out of it.

Last one is a "Boulder blast" - a move somewhat similar to Ermac's Soul burst - so a low range (1-1,5dash range) projectile-like move. You can press up or down to aim it high (can be used as an AA) or low (hits low). Thing can be charged to hit it later, or you can press d,d to cancel it out. It's a decent combo ender, because you get a long untechable time (guaranteed unblockable OTG), but it's -12 on block, so not a good pressure tool.



Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
I dont want to spoil all the fun, but one cool Brutalitiy is when you finish the opponent with unblockable ground pound - rocks wrap slowly around opponent's legs and rest of his body slowly petrifies. Tremor gets on his knees in a monk-like pose and stays like that for a few seconds. After a while, he lightly taps the ground and BAM! opponents petrified body explodes, leaving only a skeleton (with legs still stuck to the ground by some rocks).


Now most of you are probably thinking "How do you know this guy isn't spinning bullshit?" Well, today someone was digging through the PC files and found these text files

these support everything the leaker has said. Now be warned, there's rock puns in that link


Also heres a Tremor render I don't think anyone's posted.

That looks very interesting but... it's nothing like Kenshi. Kenshi's special moves share the same concept across all variations, just with different results and looks. Tremor has wildly different abilities.

The Aftershock move seems interesting. If you manage to launch your opponent across the screen you could set up something to create an opening when your opponent is back on his feet.

Wjhat I meant by that is that he doesnt gain specials or loses any, they all change depending on the variation.

Ya know how Kenshi's move list is all golden lettering? Exactly

Well, let's see if the token ninja from one of the worst products to ever bear the MK license on it, who has the largest, blindest ninja fan following of any character in the history of this franchise, can make me a believer. He sounds interesting thus far, even if the laughably forced Bane crabface voice is just too funny to take seriously.

They've done a really good job pulling him away from the generic ninja roots he came from and making him LOOK unique. That's step one. In my book, that warrants giving him a shot. His powers also seem unique enough (assuming the info provided is truth) to set him apart.

And remember - its not the CHARACTER I hate, it's the fact that so much of his fan following stems from the sole fact that he is a ninja. I welcome any opportunity for me to have my opinion reversed.

Would be cool if Tremor's P2 Color was Silver, and then they gave him a classic ninja look with next patch. Therefore creating Khrome.

Then Khrome fanboys would be piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssed.

Great info, thanks a bunch!

I'll guesstimate since Predator is available to everyone today, and since we already have the Tremor patch, that Tremor will be released in two weeks, making him available July 28th for KP owners and August 4th for everyone else.

Can't wait.
I wonder if that crystal variation would be like one of the Smoke variations I made, where he was encased in Diamond, as Diamond is an allotrope of Carbon. (Smoke is Carbon in the air.)

Looking forward to some Metal Mario action...
