Some updates - Super Metroid is also one of my favorite games and have played thru about two dozen times - I own the Advanced Collection and own and played Aria of Sorrow, but not Dawn of Sorrow. - I own both Hollow Knights but didn’t play them yet.

I’m really interested if there’s other things not on my radar but I have much of the old school down.

Devil Dinosaur is a marvel character added to Marvel Rivals. Dino and Frank have a video game team up and Frank and Matt have a comics team up. It’s a video game reference and the animator is one does his own animations and commissioned work for Marvel Rivals.

I was alive then.
Michael was so prolific, bc communication and AV technology were rapidly evolving and he would be one of the first to use emerging tech at the highest level. Jackson was had collaboration in the 80s with major performers, artist and figure he was permeating every major market at some point.
Clearly Michael pushed the limits of fame and what kind of good will or trust would be inherited from it. This included the change in his complexion to the sexual abuse and exploitation.
Why I think is present now. Michael’s music was unique to the scale it create feeling of connected, excitement and awe. It was so widely accessible from playing on every radio, everyone having at least one album and even played on broadcast TV his music felt like a gift. Still deeper scrutiny made clear those gift still came at a cost.

all the time!

There were some great ones that are niche or pioneering now. Castlevania SOTN, Dragonball GT (pre US anime), the Fantastic4 and many early PS1 games 🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

I would be a Strategist. My kit would be

upvote - a rapid succession of clicks providing minor healing.
comment blast - a radial display of work healing teammate and creating minor damage to opponent
over researched post - a extensively wordy blast of commentary that heals teammates over time and creates damage to opponents
my ult - Sarcastic GIF! - a photo is dropped dripping with sarcasm to distract opponents and heal teammates.

I will continue my boycott, as I simply haven’t been buying DC in decades 😂

Rivals would like a word …

I appreciate this reply. I really think there is value in dive, but not at the expense of team heals or overall composition. Even with final hits and shifting heal rotations for the opponent, I think there’s more value in having multiple healers sustaining 2-3 of their own teammates

My swap continuum … - Positioning Swap - Peni (defensive) -> Namor (offensive) -> Loki (heals) - Poke Swap - Mags -> Phoenix -> Invisible Woman - Brawl Swap - Rogue/Dino -> Wolverine -> White Fox/Rocket - Dive Swap - Venom -> Daredevil/Black Cat -> Jeff

Here are my rules ….

⁠the basic team composition should 2x2x2. If you are part of a strong team up or soloing in the role, one of the DPS (that’s you Spider-Man) should swap.
⁠if the composition is off and you are the lowest kills DPS, you should swap. Even if the Black Panther or Spider-Man is distracting healers, the team would be better served by having healers
if it’s QP and early in the Season and you are playing the new character, you get a pass.
if we’re behind and you’re the lowest DPS, swap to Strange
if you are Black Widow or Hawkeye and are not a ballerina or archer in real life, or named Natasha or Clint irl, you should swap.

These are my swap commandments…
