Ok, we're down to the wire here. We'll know in due time whether he'll be in the game. I'm not the only one cautiously optimistic around here, hoping he'll be revealed today, Friday the 13th. :)

However, what this thread is for, is I figured it'd be fun to discuss the possibilities of what design Jason could have if he were included. I'd love to get everyone's thoughts.

There's SUCH a rich history of the character, spanning 35 years. So many options and possibilities, but at the end of the day, there's only so much one character can have.

So let's break it down by:

Model + Outfit

Basic Moveset

3 Variations (and visual indicators)

X-Ray

2 Fatalities

I'll leave it like that so you can easily copy and paste the discussion points, and fill them in with all of your ideas!

Now, for my own:

Model + Outfit
We have to get the hockey mask, the classic one from Part 3/4/Reboot. I think that's a must. Now, for the million dollar question... Human or Zombie? Personally, I'd love to see both, and I'll get into that a little bit further down. Ultimately, he needs to be decked out in his jacket, pants, and boots. With considerable weathering and damage to the clothes of course. Let's not overdue it with too many liberties, I'd hope.

Basic Moveset
His normals should include the machete spliced in, akin to how Scorpion/Kenshi implement their swords. Specials could be made up of several different things, such as using different weapons and tools throughout the movie, or perhaps some command grabs? There's lots of fun to be had with his moveset.

3 Variations (and visual indicators)
Here's where I'd love to see the different versions of Jason really come to life(no pun intended). We could get Bag Head, Hockey Mask, and Zombified Jason being represented individually. Perhaps Jason X, or the reboot Jason swapped in there instead of Bag Head? Man, Jason has felt a bit different in each movie, visually and capabilities, so there's some room to play here. Maybe a whole variation where he's using his various weapons/tools throughout his specials and normals(knife, spear, pitchfork, harpoon gun, cleaver, axe, weed whacker etc.)? Perhaps a variation dedicated to a more grapple heavy Jason(think Bane or Grundy)? They could have a variation where he's a bit quicker, giving him his more human/hunter elements from Part 2/3/4/Reboot Or maybe a hyped up Uber Jason with the ability to regenerate health, or with some sort of armor? Hell, armor is a damn must for the dude in some form or fashion.

X-Ray
This is also another part where his varying tools/weapons could come into play, but his machete is likely to play a part. I'd love to see him grab his opponent's head and squeeze it 'til their skull breaks(think Part 3), and then folds his opponent backwards to shatter their back(think part 6).

2 Fatalities
So many damn possibilities! I'm just gonna post it now to get the ball rolling.
