Just want my GOAT in the game (and Tokon).
>>728379783I hope the brown hair is just bad lightingshe is a fucking redhead
Cyclops is the shittiest and most boring character out of the X-Men
>>728379783Literally who?
>>728379398This is how she should have looked from the get-go
>>728379398>Has 150,000+ concurrent on Steam aloneHoly fuck. Overshit BTFO.
I just fap and cum to the girls. Ranked experience is so fucking boring in this game it doesn't really feel like much changes in each match
>>728379769>niggers and trannies>reject DEI and add hot women?
>>728379946That is her actual in game model though (unless you are talking about her shitty outfit).Hopefully we get some good ones in the next couple of seasons.

who did it better?
>>728380175I am talking about the outfit yes, I don't know the name of that thing she has but it's clearly there just to hide her ass
Goddamn she is BUILT
>>728380232well go complain in the IRC about. do bring up the ai sloppa and the gachashit generals too while you're at it

>>728380443indeed
>>728379398>>Deadpool on the wayRip it's dying soon then.
>>728379825Looks auburn to me.
>>728379905Why does it matter whether you have heard of a character beforehand or not?
>>728379398Tank mains keep winning. All the most fun characters are Vanguards (Hulk, Rogue, Emma, Groot, Thing, Venom). Hope they add Devil Dinosaur (he WAS in the Deadpool trailer) and Juggernaut.
Playing this game is weird starting out I have no idea who anyone is besides the punisher and spiderman really, which one is the biggest cunt I can play as though
>>728380267That youtuber who rp as deadpool gonna be more insufferable now with this character is confirmed for next season
>>728380668Because they could have released good characters like cyclops or maybe fucking cable who is tied to deadpool rather a literal who you fucking retard
>>728380175Lastest page seems to hint a white pawn set and Emma is included with a set of underboob and a ponytail.
>>728380641If MR default gives her auburn hair, Nextwave has her bright orange hair, and another one gives her blonde hair, you could pick whatever you want with her.

>>728379902Okay, retard
>>728380998I'd prefer auburn. Netease gives red-headed characters actual red rather than ginger

>>728381373>whats an irc?
>>728379905Deadpool's ex-girlfriend, also one of the five "inmates" of the Nextwave asylum that keeps flipping between noncanon and canon.
>>728382157I'd buy Nextwave Elsa immediately.
>>728380504Now I understand why redditors froth at the mouth over this shit.
>>728379691the jeff office nameplate already breaks through the box. why doesn't this too?
Twice this decade that Elsa showed up in a game out of nowhere, last one being MUA3. Both games made in Asia too.>>728382157I wonder if they'd be based enough to add Nextwave Machine Man. I know if they add MODOK they'd give him the Elvis look since even MvC did that.
If you want me to switch off of Magik then maybe you shouldn't wait until the last 2 seconds of the match to make the claim she does nothing against the enemy comp and make the accusation I'm throwing your game, especially when you're all performing like complete fucking garbage. I'd gladly switch over to tank or support since Magik is the one DPS character I can actually play properly but let's just pin the blame on someone and in quick play no less.God damn people make fucking mad in how they behave in videogames fucking Christ.
>>728382261I just want Machine Man because he's fucking hilarious.>>728382463If any of the devs are even vaguely based they're definitely floating the idea now that Elsa's in it.
>>728382425because it is rated Tthey can't just go around showing Sue's fat pussy lips
too many coomerstoo many instalockersto hell with this stupid game
>>728382552Wouldn't mind Machine Man either.
>>728379398I don’t give a shit about coom factorHow much longer till my GOAT gets added in?

>>728379398
>>728379398she looks a little TIGHT. ohohoho
>>728382686The plot of the game is two Dooms beefing so they might be waiting until they have a narrative excuse to move him from the mastermind position.
>>728382686No one Rivals Doom
>>728382686Let's be real, anon. You're gonna get Doom next year with the movie, sadly.
>>728381454nice selfy
>>728379398>Game has zero competitive integrity due to EOMM, so you can only play it casually>Hero shooters are, by default, designed to be played competitively>It's all just flashing colors now The game is the most fun ever until you realize that you're being led on a leash by Chinese dudes every time you queue up.
>voice chat? OFF>team chat? OFF>match chat? ONYep! It's gaming time..
>>728382524Reminder that in the current bad future X-Men event Magik gets killed by an ordinary gun and ends up back in limbo as a dead soul then gets raped and corrupted until Darkchild takes over and is now evil and a slave.

>>728379398By using Xmen which a lot of people like and its the only underused marvel ip.
I hate the squirrelly girl.
>>728383002EOMM blatant truth. It's both in the game and obvious that the Chinese devs would do it, because they don't understand or give a fuck about a videogame being anything more than a flashy storefront
>>728379398What would be the Overwatch equivalent of Deadpool
>>728383029she is junkrat but more annoying
>>728383029Everyone does, but she is a comfy shitposting pick because it's fun making enemies seethe when you murder them with 0 skill required.
>>728383029Why? Doreen is sweet.
>>728383083ive observed that in 90% of my games, my teammates have no idea why we are losing and they scream at random shit so i think the eomm is just an extension of the mystery boogieman that makes them lose game
>>728383083>blah blah headcanon blahjust stay filtered, retard
>>728383029I like her because she's the only duelist I'm good at. I stick to vanguard or strategist otherwise.
>>728383129>but she is a comfy shitposting pickuntil iron man appears and the idiot is unable to swap because the shitter cant aim to save his life
>>728383178It was solved that they tailor who you play against in order to predict a win or a loss when you queue. There's no reason to play that game with that in it, no matter how flashy the characters are>>728383213Enjoy your Chinese leash
>>728383213Her entire character is basically a teenage girl going>FUCK YOU, DADDY
>>728383178>ive observed that in 90% of my games, my teammates have no idea why we are losingcoomers are shitterswho would have thought?
>>728380774>released good characterWhy are you automatically assuming a character must be bad solely because you've not come across them before?
>>728383241Squirrel Girl is a throw pick because she's easily countered. Learn at least two other DPS, then you can use SG as a counter pick when the enemy team is clumped up.
>>728383419
>>728383494>counter pick when the enemy team is clumped upThis is a common occurrence in my ranks though. I do have some Namor proficiency but again, I usually stick to the other roles.

You could argue Angela, but at the same time if this was a western game they would make her 100% look like a dude and bring up the comic canon of her "wife" being a Magic Tranny.
>>728383736no but her swimsuit is sexynow sauce
>>728383878Angela is jacked, but they made sure to give her big hips, a feminine face and big tits with a lot of cleavage even in her default.
>>728383963Angela has nice hips and a nice butt.
>>728383405>muh predictions!If you win, you get harder opponents and if you lose you get easier opponents. This is how matchmaking is supposed to work, retard.The only ones who have a problem with this are pathetic egotards who think they deserve to stomp scrubs forever.

>>728379398And yet somehow it still fells worse and janiker to play then overwatch and the hero balance is garbage.I am not gonna pretend the game does not look amazing but i prefer to play games not only look at games.

>>728386598Be grateful these women have tits at all, with every woman having a skin with at least some cleavage. And they're decently big too.

>>728388009Marvel Rivals completely eschews realism and it's not remotely similar to Fortnite art wise.
>>728384514COPE: ENGAGED
Soon....
Realistically, how much longer do you give this game before even more of its fanbase(mutts and coomers) finally give it up?
>>7283884054 or 6 months
>>728387459If by "tits" character you mean someone confirmed by John Byrne himself that she wears a corset to look more impressive.
>>728388405Most of the playerbase at this point just jumps in and out on new hero releases. Anyone actually playing it full time is mentally ill. I can barely take more than a week of triple support slop before wanting to kill myself.
>>728388287It really astounds me how incompetent some people can be at their role in a video game.
>>728388009>the next concordbut Concord had a photorealistic art style
>>728379398yeah but there's no reason it has to be 100+ gb and load that slow
>>728388405A more pertinent question is how much longer are you going to seethe at this game's existence?
Because they made a game and some propaganda piece.Imagine of Net Ease fucked something up and to deflect they turned someone gay.
>>728388585ultimately pointless because emma frost can use her bullshit mind powers to have people perceive her a certain way anyhow
>>728388585>>728388834She's canonically stacked (with the best fake tits money can buy)
>>728388009Fortnite wishes it was this unrealistic looks-wise.
>>728379783meh
Overwatch fanboys told me this game wouldn't survive a year without role queues.
>>728389260It is a F2P game based on a well-known property with good graphics. Why would it fail?
Do they still put bots in ranked queues? I can live with the 50/50 ragebait matchmaking but putting bots and pretending they're players is just hilariously retarded to keep playing.
Do you think she has a high-protein diet and farts alot?Like in combat, how often do you think it would happen?
I haven't played this game in 10 months. I lost the only friend I had in my friend list and I don't want to go back and see he's not there anymore
>>728389393They have never had bots in ranked.
>>728388826I have no proof but with how this place did a sudden 180 with chink made shit, I would not doubt in the slightest that they have chinese astro turfing shill farms working overtime on this board.
>>728389393bots are quickplay only, yes your teammates are truly just that shit lol

>>728389742Coping much? Fortnite looks plastic compared to Rivals.
>>728379398Does the game still have multiple season passes per season?I quit playing after season 2 because they made like 3 ou 4 passes and I just NOPED the fuck out... felt less and less like playing a videogame and more like work.
>>728379398>Bigger roster than OverwatchIMO alot of them feel a bit homogenized, especially in the support role to adhere to balance fuckups
Zamn!
>>728390673You know you don't have to complete the passes, right?
>>728389635Stop talking to yourself
>>728390673it doesn't seem like it since this season only has the one pass but it seems they made missions easier to complete by being less character specific
Had to uninstall cuz it was about to fry my fucking PC
>>728390916I know anon, and I didn't buy them or any of the other passes. But it still rustles my jimmies, feels like you're being forced to play, you know?I stopped playing after season 2 ended because of that, but now they have gone and put Rogue in the game... I fucking love Rogue ;_;Is the game in a good spot right now, at least?
>>728379783why isn't her hair red
>>728379398>Forced Overwatch to add back 6v6 And make new modes like StadiumKek

>>728379398I wish the game wasn't marvel. I just cannot care about anything super hero related.
>>728394329Everyone has to go through some piss ranks every season, pro man.But I'm sure you start in Grand Master every time.
>>728379398Remember when they told us that sex harms videogames now?Seems like their evidence was just that porn games aren't accepted by the mainstream industry.Sex definitely helps a good game, though it may not save a bad game.
>>728382157I've said this multiple times and I'll keep saying it until she's released, but I hope we get at least one reference to Nextwave with ElsaSuch a fun comic

>>728396136It's more so the dubious canon nature of the run that gives me some doubt on whether or not it'll be brought up
>>728396232China did more for the reputation of the Fantastic 4 than Marvel has done in the last 40 years.
>>728396538well yes but rivals is generally a decent game i think considering all theyve done in 1 year
brown wanda sexo
>>728397103my thoughts exactly
>>728396778It's been canon again for a few years. Monica fully remembers the events of it and a few years ago even confronted Machine Man about it. The explanation is Beyond Corporation basically sucked them to another world specifically to subject them to Nextwave then dumped them back in 616 purely for experimentation.
I'm a DC guy but X-Men has the best Western comic waifus.
>>728379398does this game still have the issue of people going full dps teams, or maybe near full dps with 1 single healer?
>>728397103I don't remember making this post.
imagine getting raped by emma and rogue daily lmao
>>728397386no because they added gambit
Picked up Psylocke at the suggestion of some other anons and I gotta say she's really fun, I've been missing out.
>>728397161A Nextwave reunion run would be so good
>>728397161Which comic did that happen in?I wanna read it
I'm going to be honest I think the tagline for this game is just badMaybe it's just because I'm not chinese but ignite the battle, really?
>>728397857china get english well enough yet
>>728379525KYS NIGGER
>>728397857the tagline could be ching chong big dong because no one pays attention to that shit
>>728397857They probably chose it because they liked how it soundedIt's really no different than saying something like 'spark the battle''Ignite the fight' would also be pretty funny
Thor in Marvel Zombies (Nightmare 4): red build or blue build?I've used the blue build before and it's pretty fun, but I've heard the red build trivialize Wanda
Why is Deadpool before Daredevil in the Heroes tab if everything is in alphabetical order?
>>728389845I've seen enough comic writing to know it probably isn't edited. Comic writers are THAT bad.
>>728398885E comes first in the chinese alphabet
So did they add Deadpool yet?

How did you enable the shader caching thing for better performance again

Do NOT trust this creature!
>>728399659did anyone notice that his name used to be in lowercase right after the update came out for no fucking reason? I hadn't even noticed that they had fixed that oversight

The more brawler tanks they add, the more I realize how lackluster Hulk feels, regardless of how efficient he actually is.

>>728400608> Black King is a posh british manWhat did Marvel mean by this?
>>728400608The Black King is literally a white guy you fucking brain rotted retard.
>>728400608Lmao there's 2 black guys out of 60 characters and all the women are hot. You lost, tranny

>>728379398Built for BBC + BSC + BDC
>>728400928Black can also mean evil
I never get why people make Sue Richards NTR with black men. Reed can stretch his body parts. The real NTR would be with DOOM or Namor.
>>728400971There's Blade, T'Challa, and Cloak. So there are 3And Cloak, even though he's paired with Dagger, he's also portrayed incredibly fucking zesty. I mean, just look at this shit.Also, he has no lower half. How is he meant to please Dagger?

>>728401559did they already abandon bluesky?
>>728401740its such a pointless existence i can't believe that these people are real and exist and vote and have money, regardless they don't share their views through reproduction
>>728401736yes anon i can cherrypick data too the artists i commission for NTR are french and georgian, want me to link their accounts? they make good shit
>>728402016They all abandoned Bluesky because no one uses it. Their entire existence revolves around getting attention on the internet and they can only get that on Twitter
>>728402082>there are exceptions to rules>i say you are cherrypicking while cherrypicking myselfnice one brown nigger, you are a very smart actually
>>728402016The only people left on Bluesky are insufferable liberal millennials and Gen Xers.
>>728397615At first I thought her ankles were tied together
1 year later and the gameplay is still dogshit
>>728402224whats the rule? ntr enjoyers can be any race? i agree!>you are a very smart actuallyfreudian slip?
>>728401195The fetish is about degrading the woman. The people into this shit are insanely racist and still view black men as inferior beasts. That's why Sue is a huge target of this garbage. She's a white woman married to a white man with white kids. It's about degrading her. Tandy has NOWHERE near much porn as Sue for this type of shit because she's already "tainted".
>>728379398Too bad the gameplay sucks
>Play any tank>Gambit ults on me>Have to rush forward and out of position like a confused hermit crab and pretend I don't have the base DPS of a geriatric patient while hoping that the fact I am moving very fast toward them fools the enemy team into thinking I pose a threat and they can't just let me poke them for the next eight seconds
>>728402454you know the rule is that most "people" into NTR are brown south asians, arabs and spics keyword being MOST. last (You) cucked faggot
>>728402597unfounded
They just call me a loser!
Why does this game require over 100GB holy hell
>>728401559oh, its the 1 same loser crying about the skin lmao.
>>728402847chinese cant optimize for shit, same reason why the tachala map has the complete planet rendered

>>728402847500 polygons in just one butt check
>>728402847Lots of voice acting in multiple languages
>>728401657They won't procreate and if they do their children would be bullied because gen alpha is full of chuddies. Because who would've known allowing your kid to be raised on a tablet/internet watching whomever without a father figure in their life would make them seek out toxic men to fill that void.t. middle school teacher
why is this game 100gb?
>>728397846That all happens in Amazing Spider-Man (2022). Monica remembers Nextwave in #78 IIRC, and talks to Aaron Stack in #92. >>728397641Pretty much all of them are present in 616 now, but Tabby's basically done nothing for years, and The Captain only got a one-off cameo in Nova.It's technically doable. I was very pleasantly surprised when I was reading some Deadpool run involving Dracula and monsters attacking New York and Aaron randomly showed up and turned out to basically save the day.
>>728402914who is this
>>728403049It's only 3, I think. Japanese, Chinese, and EnglishThe problem is probably not the audio, or at least not the main one
>>728402914100% guaranteed to be playable at some point
>>728401725Dog
Wish Rogue got a web swing from Spider-Man instead of the uppercut. I guess technically his webs are just a gadget in this universe, but come on. Just make it happen
>>728397386yes and its why i quit this. its better than overwatch, everyone wants to play dps, but i can't even play tank because no one wants to be healer. still have no idea why no one sees how mobas have 100s of characters that you can play in nearly any role and that idea isnt applied to hero shooters outside of tf2 and gundam evolution
>>728402980I think her hair is just naturally red now. It's been as such pretty much since Nextwave since nearly every editorial is a big fan of it, even if they can't stand Warren Ellis anymore.
what do butts look like bros

>>728403619>Nobody listens to these retards anymorestudios hire them en masse lmfao
>>728403470>I guess technically his webs are just a gadget in this universeI always found that part of Spider-Man dumb and lame. Give him organic shooters and supplement them with his gadgets.

>>728403786You're dumb and lame.
>>728379398GUHHHHHHH
>>728380774>Because they could have released good charactersI truly, utterly do not give a shit about them "releasing good characters" and would rather have literal whos mixed in with the "good characters". I would rather Cyclops come out in season 12 if it means we get The Wall and Paste Pot Pete as playable characters because it would at least be different and something new and potentially ineresting as movesets. Your mindset would lead to MvC3 not having Shuma Gorath or Dormammu, two of the most beloved characters of that game.
>>728404846those characters are loved only because of their movesets, they are just functions
>>728405218>those characters are loved only because of their movesets
>>728405218>those characters are loved only because of their movesets, they are just functionsBest be making a joke there from that retarded dev, Anon.
literally all they add is hot women, where the fuck is Hit Monkey and Modok?
>>728405218I still can't believe he said that function shit.
>>728394665nta but the schtick just grows old fast and isn't very funny to begin with, you've probably just got a real juvenile sense of humor and that's alright
>>728404846people have been such freaks about potential roster picks.>we need this character before that character!>the game needs popular characters every single season or it'll die instantly>also the good characters are my favorites ghost rider pls, but not the wrong ghost rider>also if they aren't represented exactly how I want then they wasted the character and the game is deadusing literal whos can be fun and can even elevate them in popularitypretty sure your average asshole didn't give a fuck about the GotG before the movies.
>>728405218>those characters are loved only because of their movesetsUntrue. Ramattra is my favorite Overwatch character by a country mile, whereas I couldn't care less about Emma despite her being his analogue in Rivals.
choose 3 for next year
>>728405490they clearly just keep moving heroes aroundFor example. Elsa took Jia Jing's spot and Hero ID on the Hero table a few patches ago. Which is why people started theorizing that they were preparing for a Deadpool/Elsa season, which turned out to be correct.Now that Deadpool was "added" to the game, it turns out he took Professor X's ID (1057), meaning Professor X was probably pushed back. Which is extra funny, because the ID Deadpool took (1057) was originally Rogue's ID, but then she swapped places with Professor X, and now Professor X swapped places yet again, but with Deadpool this time. So he keeps getting pushed backAlso, don't get me started on Gambit originally being listed as a Duelist and Rogue as a Strategist on the hero table, and look at how things ended up. Their plans clearly keep changing
>>728404846>I truly, utterly do not give a shit about them "releasing good characters" and would rather have literal whos mixed in with the "good characters". I would rather Cyclops come out in season 12 if it means we get The Wall and Paste Pot Pete as playable characters because it would at least be different and something new and potentially ineresting as movesets.Unfathomably based
>>728379398Do what? The game is slow as fuck and plays like absolute shit. All it has going for it is tits and ass.
>>728405989Spiral, Songbird and She-Hulk.
>>728403242Well my tablet's nice and charged upTime to chill on the couch and read some comics
>>728379691damn I got excited thinking this is how it actually looks
>>728379551Are mutant girls good for you?
>>728405989All of them, so I can build a zoo with nothing but gorillas.
>>728405615It's not really a good excuse, but it was that or burning bridgeshe could have said that Marvel wouldn't let them use the characters or the development was a messand then he probably wouldn't have been working at Capcom for much longer or have gone on to work on the Spider-man gamehe knows it's stupid, he also knows where his money was coming from
>>728405687>pretty sure your average asshole didn't give a fuck about the GotG before the movies.Exactly. Barely anyone cared about Squirrel Girl or Jeff before this game let alone knew about them if they weren't already deep within the comic space. Moon Knight basically only became known because of the MCU show and this game to the wider public. Ghost Rider and Blade only got popular because of the Nick Cage and Wesley Snipes movies to the general public.Just add characters no one knows about or are so niche only hardcore fans have ever heard of them. Do one well known character and one literal who. Now you've suddenly brought irrelevant or side characters into the limelight and given them more exposure than they ever thought possible.
>>728379691where the hell is her right foot
>>728405989Armor, Spiral, and then either Titania or Valkyrie. Could go either way for that last one. As long as they don't turn Valkyrie into a nigger, it's all good
>>728405989HARPYand two other randos I don't careCarol and Moon Girl, or Armor I guess
The times square hub goes to show they made some characters fun, and other are just serious-business only
>>728406319I mean, look at Galacta. She was a literally who one off character, and now she's being made canon to the 616 continuity. And you can bet your ass the only reason they are making Galacta canon is because of Rivals, because they would've been perfectly fine with keeping the character dead and buried otherwise.
>>728402491>The fetish is about degrading the woman.oh yeah man she's orgasming and being filled up and having the best time of her life its so degrading
>>728405989What am I gonna do with them?
Reminder that Iron Man and Thanos are household names because of adaptions. Literal who argument was always stupid.
>>728403786>>728403470Nah it wouldnt make any sense, It should have been VENOMS swing since its only 1 and part of his powers.

>>728379398this game is the slowest piece of shit in FPS history. it feels even slower than overwatch somehow. it honestly feels like a mobile game and I think anyone sucking this off is a subhuman who goes 0-15 every game in an actual FPS.
>>728379551>>728379398they released the same character with the same bodytype like 4 times in a row now

>>728384514>>728387018HNGHHH these posts are hot as fuck
>>728406319Jeff was big with Gwenpool and Marvel SNAP fans
How's the tummy game in Rivals?
>>728379398Third person shooters are generally just bad and feel like shit to play. And the game is actually braindead compared to Overwatch with the level of healing done.Also, to this day the Overwatch porn is still better than the Rivals porn. Widow, Dva, Kiriko, Dva still mog. The game was moderately exciting at launch to see the honestly refreshing chink takes on the Marvel designs, done as they (mostly) should be. But the game overall feels soulless.
>Leddit spacingBack to your black'dfuta sub, queer.
>>728409148Pretty good.
>>728408167The win rate difference among characters ranges from like 30% to 69%. The game is an unbalanced piece of shit with insanely overtuned healing.
>>728409148
>>728395949She better be comically English
>>728404846Dormammu is well-known and is pretty much the default enemy for Dr. Strange. Bad example.
>>728379398Emma was always tits on a stick why is she super thicc with a massive ass in this game?
>>728405989Medusa, Spiral, Valkyrie
>>728408375le cope
>>728390673Nothing is forcing you to buy the mini passes dude. They're just cosmetics and a third of it is given for free.
>>728410863She's the most explicitly aryan-coded girl, literally an "ice queen". So they made her into a tank and made her into a thick psychic dommy mommy to fill an untapped niche. She's made to appeal to people who like mommy femdom and even more commonly now she's the "BLACKED" whore (disgusting).
>>728410814>Dormammu is well knownBack in 2011? Not to normalfags.
>>728379398Does it really have PvE now?I might try it if it does.
>>728410814>Dormammu is well-knownNot prior to the MCU, no.

>>728409148It's lovely.
>>728411040Her as a tank makes sense given her powers but yeah I'm not a fan of everyone associating her as some thicc big ass character when she was always the complete opposite of that.
>>728379551Damn. Talk about Southern Comfort.
>>728411383He's great.
>>728411383You only now made me realize Dirk Anger is a Nick Fury joke. I have a physical copy of that issue I bought in 2007.
>>728411565>>Will Nick Fury in Rivals be white or black?>He SHOULD be white but I can't imagine them actually making him white.If the devs are smart they'd design a Nick Fury character whose gameplay could work for both Sr. and Jr. and have skin options for either, kinda like Simon and Richter Belmont in Smash.
>>728381063>powercreepthis thread is full of retards who never touched the game, she is complete dogshit and u need to put 10x effort to get what emma/mag do with holding m1
>>728410662She was in Ultimate Alliance 3. I don't have any webms of her though, so have a spider gwen.
>>728412027built for tchalla
>>728411583They made her thicker than dehydrated oatmeal because they're trying to make sure each role follows some consistent visual rules so even if you're not familiar with a character you can guess their role easily. All the Vanguards are thick and broad, all the Duelists are of more archetypical "heroic" builds, and all the Strategists are pretty light in physique even if they might be broad-shouldered like Ultron and Loki.
>>728379398>PvE game modes>mode, singular, axed in Jan, unlike Overwatch, which has had at least three separate ones.if you're going to do these autistic fan war openings, you need to be honest.
>>728412031holy fucking shit I love Gwen but only went the mask stays on and there are no nigger dicks involvedthat locker room animation by hydrafxx was fucking amazing though
>>728411951Ellis wanted to actually use Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. but couldn't. The hilarious thing is that I'm pretty sure this predates the reveal that Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D were the same.
>>728412172Not him, but they're definitely going to find a way to keep the mode ongoing. They've already extended the Halloween mode way past Halloween at least once if not more than once.
>>728412131>tchalla is now raising his wife's white son to be the new black panther Will Smith levels of humiliation.
>>728412485Best part is it's written by THE Black Panther writer, who is black, and basically negotiated his way into having that shit be irrevokable because otherwise Marvel would never have him again. Priest truly is bearing Dwayne McDuffie's torch for how comics won't give a nigga a break.
>>728396538All they really did was embrace superheroes being larger than life and you know, superheroic. Enough of muh realism.
>>728408375>disguising a sniper as a healer would be terrible for gameplayas if they give a shit what's "best for gameplay" when they have the whole overlapping colors shit. A thor bubble and a dagger bubble look practically identical.

will they fumble his gameplay?
>>728414264You can't fuck up guns and swords. I'm more curious about if they'll give him his teleporting device.
>>728410814Dr. Strange himself was not THAT well known to the general public in 2011, he was mildly known from appearing in stuff like the Spider-Man animated series (in which Dormammu appeared as his enemy), and some other stuff here and there and light pop cultural seepage of his name and magic powers maybe, but as important as he is in comics, to the general public he was not a household name, much less his archenemy. The reality is that the average person is not a comic book reader and their knowledge of comic book characters comes from adaptations, not comics themselves, be it films, cartoons, TV shows, video games, etc. If you were only looking for A list names in 2011 the general public knew, you'd miss out on a big chunk of the Marvel roster in MvC3. I first saw Rocket Raccoon there myself, so I already knew him when they announced the GOTG movie, a team I wasn't familiar with otherwise.That so much of Spider-Man and Batman's rogues gallery is well known to the general public and that they've had many cartoons and adaptations over the decades is not a coincidence, even if they both have quite rich rogues galleries, others with less well known ones like Superman are not short on decent villains, they just haven't been exposed much to the general public (for some reason Superman films just used Lex Luthor over and over with a very occasional Zod, like for example Brainiac is one of his primary foes but has never been adapted to film before the next Gunn movie, compare that to how many Batman bad guys have been in films), his own 90s animated series made good use of his rogues gallery.
>>728414264>no bulgeAlready fumbled his character design.
>>728406042Heroes evolve over development, I believe Ultron started as a duelist and evolved into strategist, and even in strategist we saw a much earlier moveset where he had a free flight ability like Phoenix but wasn't a full flying character as he is in the final release
>>728414607>I first saw Rocket Raccoon there myself,Same, first heard of the character from Angy Joe's little freakout. Funny to see how popular he's become.

>>728406254>Are mutant girls good for you?Nope. Your kid will be a disturbed weakling, or a time displaced supervillain bent on revenge. ......And both will be gaaay.
>>728412642Someone should write an AU of white Power Man so Luke Cage can be saved from Bendis. That writer has enough authority to do this. Hopefully he'd do it.
>>728406593>>728406319They also are bringing Knull back in a story with Hela, taking after Rivals' pairing of them (which Knull's creator acknowledged on twitter as an idea he should have thought of), and the latest attempt at revamping Cloak & Dagger blatantly copies their default costumes from this game almost 1:1. It's funny that Rivals took cues from some adaptations like the MCU for aspects of some characters (like Namor being Aztec), now Rivals itself is influencing depictions right back.

>>728405989>power princess is just wonder woman
>>728379398i kinda wanna cosplay as her desu
>>728408357I actually would prefer her as a Duelist, to fully separate her from Hulk, since she's already one of the most successful "female counterpart" characters and it's been for that exact reason, she's a different character with her own look and style. Any of the attempts over the past decade or more to make her more "Hulk-like" have been total shit and served to diminish her uniqueness as a character in favor of just "Hulk with tits", ironically the opposite of what I imagine the writers pushing that think they're doing.It's not as though Duelists need to be skinny like Spider-Man, there's plenty of burly ones and tall ones, even if the Vanguards remain the biggest. But then, I don't think She-Hulk should look how she looks in that picture at all. Fit and toned, sure, but much more like a large green fitness model, than a hulked out beast like Hulk does, it's counter to the character, who doesn't have the split personality Banner has.

>>728412842Non stop sex with Doreen, fondling her fat Squirrel titties and stuffing her hairy pussy so full of cream that people will think I am a super hero called Never Ending Stream of Semen Man
>>728415195They've already been doing a "new" Power Man. Luke Cage was basically saved from Bendis-ing because he's busy being mayor. It's basically another Miles Morales but Victor is slightly less annoying and has an interesting gimmick of actually having Iron Fist's Chi powers instead of Lucas having an Operation Paperclip'd knock-off of the Super Soldier Serum.
>>728413246There was no equal to Shaw in the Club, he was in charge.
>>728384514Fornite's artstyle is so fucking bland
>>728414607Who is behind Scarecrow?
>>728415458That's the joke. Also for some reason she was in the third "wave" of SS characters introduced. Warrior Woman is neat because she's a Nazi dominatrix Wonder Woman.
>>728416018Prometheus.
>>728415931Isn't that dude from the late 2000s?
>>728379783>the size of that pussyeither she has a mare pussy or a massive bush
>>728416219He first showed up in 2009 but he didn't really start taking over as the new Power Man until the newest flood of legacy replacements and a new "Heroes for Hire" pairing could form with Swordmaster taking over as Iron Fist.
>>728414607how the heck did Great White Shark get on here but no Man-Bat, Deathstroke, Grundy or Deadshot?
>>728388405Dead within a month. This time for sure
>>728416224She's a proper English lass so her minge is like a jungle.
>>728416392There's always absences
Honestly I think Rogues default looks fine but I dont like the SL outfit since it has the blocky bodytype they have to give female tanks It just looks weird, if they add the goth outfit itd look weird too
>>728405989Songbird, Spiral, and Armor.
>>728380504Women write this. Men wouldn't sit around wasting valuable plot time with nonsense about infidelity unless it was to paint the protagonist (male) as highly desirable and equally if not more so devoted to his one and only.
>>728416534Why the fuck is Scarecrow here?
>>728405989She-Hulk (duelest), Spiral (vanguard) and Valkyrie (duelist)
>>728416732That's the Lizard, anon.
>>728416129>Nazi dominatrix Wonder WomanIsn't that just Super Woman from the Crime Syndicate, which is meant to hold WW's role in another dimension? I guess they went all in on ripping WW stuff off.
>>728379398>all the females are hot>all the males are hot>incredible art style that goes well with the comic super heroes shooter theme>cute mascot>only thing you can consider ""woke"" in this game is hidden behind interactions you wont find unless you go out of your way, best of all it's not even in the game and just a piece of lore from older comics It's just that easy, you would think every western company would be copying this formula by now. For the record I don't even play Marvel Rivals, I'm just glad there's a single Marvel game out there doing well and doing super heroes justice in this day and age.
>>728416820I don't know shit about DC to know order of operations, but Invaders was from the 1970s. A bunch of the bad guys there were spoofs of guys from other companies.
>>728416791What else do you call the burlap sack guy with a zigzag mouth between Scorpion and Sandman's fist then?
>>728379902BABY SHARK
>>728416732It's a different Scarecrow from Marvel who happens to have the same name as the DC character.
>>728379902He was introduced in the same team as Angel, so that isn't true.
>>728417239Crime Syndicate Super Woman is 60s, so she predates that too. She's basically one of the many alternate versions of the evil Justice League. Instead of Injustice, The Crime Syndicate is flat out (mostly) different people entirely. Super Woman is the stand-in for Wonder Woman. She even has her own lasso of truth, called the Lasso of Submission.
>>728382463She was rumored to be in Blade as side kick at one point. Management seems to like flirting with her use.
>>728418735She was in the live action Werewolf by Night short
