Razor Claws from Alien vs. Predator (arcade game)

As always, the cutout was made by the awesome

AVP was one of the most awesome arcade beat 'em ups of it's time, partially of course because of the AVP theme, but even when the AVP craze went by, it held it's own with sheer asskickin' balls-to-the-wall action gameplay. Sadly, it never got a proper home port, aside from a VERY botched SNES game that should NOT be even considered a port of this game.

So as you can guess, the game was about Predators fighting xenomorphs, with some additional human charas, and what's better to top off an alien infested stage than with a unique, extra dangerous xenomprph. Cue Razor Claws, one damn menacing xenomorph with Krueger-like claws.

He was also the Stage 2 Boss, which in a Capcom beat 'em up instantly translated to "That-One-Boss" (or "Wake-Up-Call-Boss" as some call 'em). You see, back in the days, when Capcom made a Beat 'Em Up, the first boss was relatively easy, could be a challenge but was manageable... the second one however, was either ridiculously fast, ridiculously powerful or both. Lets take Final Fight, first we have a relatively easy Damn D, but then comes Sodom with his katanas; Captain Commando, first a fairly easy Dolg, only to be followed by Shturm Jr. jumping all over the place, dropkicking you and shooting arrows all over the place; Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, first a pretty easy Vice, followed by psychotic, acrofatic Butcher slicing you up with his machettes. The list goes on, and Razor Claws here certainly upholds the tradition (and to make you feel the danger, the arena is littered with fresh corpses), being an exceptionally agile alien and making good use of his namesake claws. And I dare say this guy really needs more love and fanarts.
