Look, I'm not trying to horribly gimp HP but thats kind of how it works. Preddy finds a target, observes it for a time, then strikes. And I never said Preddy would be aware of everything HP can do. Even if he was it wouldn't matter much. Take the protego for example, lets say Preddy sees it and says to himself "Well shit, my cannon might be useless against that". What's he going to do? Fly back to his planet and enlist their engineers to develop new tech that will render it useless and then come back?Lets say that protego can hold off a plasma blast for the sake of discussion (and I'm not saying it can. Never in the movies did any of the Dark Arts instructors say "hey, if you run into trouble just cast pretego and give the guy the finger". It was never referenced as all powerful or it would be used in every dual there was). Can HP keep it up indefinitely or does it drain him to use it?
And from there how would Harry actually defeat Preddy? Remember even without his cannon the Predator is an extremely formidable foe.
You said it in the OP, this is a one on one showdown. What do Predators tend to do one on one? I know the answer, I wanna hear it from you.
The plasma cannon is slow firing. After one blast, Harry will know where the Predator is and spell his ass.
Originally posted by Sadako of GirthAh, so the Predator stays cloaked, walks up and blades Harry. Totally out of character BTW. Meanwhile, Harry is unaware he is being hunted AND cannot use dark magic.
Thats different for the stalking process like the "Danny's beads" taunt at the cemetary etc etcThey were ALL targets. And the predator nailed them one by one.
The toughest smartest survived til the end, as is natural.Its like football/baseball championships are meant to be.. a winner emerges from the natural order of outcomes of everyone else staying in the competition as long as they can.
You dont immediately pick a winner at the beginning and say "F*** everybody else".
Predator will not have to hang back to see who is most worthy here.
So its wristblade rape time.
What's that word you like to use so much?
Indeed. Theres another word we use in every other sentence too, but Im not gonna say it here.
But if you listen to these two both from my neck of the woods) you'll probably be able to gather which one it is...

Er...........he kills him? I honestly don't know what you're wanting me to say. In the final confrontations, the predators have used all their weaponry. Only after proving themselves worthy as prey do the predators at least partially disarm (the cannon usually being the first to go) as we saw in the original predator.

And how does Harry deem himself as worthy? What does the Pred do to determine this?

Well usually its just a matter of surviving longer than expected. Perfect example is Dutch. He lasted much longer than Preddy expected him to and gave him a hell of a fight so Preddy decided to disarm himself partials and just beat the crap out of him. At that point he was in fact toying with him.
Originally posted by mixednutsAgreed, but you gotta remember the following:

Predator 1: The Predator hunted down and killed Dutch and his men. It was only then that he deemed Dutch as worthy.
Predator 2: The Predator hunted down and killed drug lords and cops, he deemed Harrigan as worthy prey later in the movie.
Predators: The Predators hunted down Royce and the others, weeding them out one by one. When they saw someone as being worthy, like the asian, they discloaked and faced them.
Now, given that Harry is alone and unaware, how exactly will this happen?
