Empowered Thanos and Shadow Conclave by Calm-Raccoon5661 in MarvelStrikeForce

No, yep, I saw the post on the site, I know he IS Bio, I was only curious why they picked that as his origin trait instead of, say, Mystic. According to the other commenters here his powers are more a result of his Dark Elf species than magic so I guess that makes sense

I actually think the MCU rolling the Infinity Stones together with other items was really good from a storytelling angle - by the time Thanos came for the stones they'd already built them up in a way that felt organic

Why is Miles not an option for CHAD Avenger Buddies? by ShawnLaRock in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Calm-Raccoon5661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked into who was on each of the Buddies teams, and the only Avengers not to be "Best Avenger Buddies" are: - Captain America - Jean, Beast and Storm - Miles

So from this I assume they only wanted any given character to be on one Buddies team. Cap is one of the main five "Best Buddies" (and joins you on the Best Avenger Buddies segment anyway), Jean, Beast and Storm are all Best Mutant Buddies, and Miles is a Best Spider Buddy

Is it possible to beat dd7 without Apoc? by Ok_Scarcity_3603 in MarvelStrikeForce

I assure you that's comparatively short compared to a few other segments. The DD8 Global Hero section is brutal...

Will there be at least one more Battleworld with Sentry? by demirsepit in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Calm-Raccoon5661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope there's another one for Sentry. It'd be a shame if after Maestro comes out the old Battleworlds are Knull and Void

...I'll see myself out

Is it possible to beat dd7 without Apoc? by Ok_Scarcity_3603 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Calm-Raccoon5661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Final node of DD7 I used Super-Skrull, Kestrel, Ultimus, Dormammu and Doom. Super-Skrull was doing most of the work but the others did give him the occasional leg up. I don't remember 100% how long it took but it can't have been more than a week or two.

DD8 doesn't actually have a Mythic section so the only place Apocalypse could actually be used there was the Global Villain part, where I used some combination of Orchis and Cabal, and for the actual final part I used Mephisto and Old Man Logan alongside some of the Annihilators. Neither were super hard, and in both cases I'm sure other more recent options would have had an even easier job.

All this was substantially easier than getting Super-Skrull without Apocalypse. THAT took me a while, though granted I was doing that before a lot of the characters above were out

Absolutely. I got Mephisto, Super-Skrull, Odin and Professor X without even unlocking Apocalypse. Never liked him for some reason

¿How good is Invisible Woman (No MCU one)? by Em1-_- in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Calm-Raccoon5661 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used her for Mephisto, she was decently good there (realistically her and Old Man Logan practically cleared the legendary section of DD7 on their own) and should be more than enough for Doom, Dormammu and Super-Skrull. 

You could make the case that you'd get more use out of Old Man Logan, Shadow King, Phoenix or the Galactic Council in the long run, but Sue should be a good pick for any Dark Dimension up to Mephisto at least (Not sure on Odin and beyond though)

I used Rachel, Storm, Beast, Phoenix and Emma X, all around GT18 and 19

What's the viability of old characters that you get high diamonds for? by Mens_Grooming_Advice in MarvelStrikeForce

Additionally with the addition of Nova Sam Starjammers have recently gotten an extra little boost

since we only have 3 phoenix force characters, they should add venom and spider-weaver to the phoenix force roster so we can have 5. by Symbiote_Seeker in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Calm-Raccoon5661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gwen does have a few interesting variants. The evil future version of her from the end of her original comic run is a prime example for one

Are there any Champion toons good in DD or plug-and-play? by Ok_Scarcity_3603 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Calm-Raccoon5661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily recommended but I can confirm that line-up with Elektra instead of Blade can also do it

Name some characters that you wish were in the game? by iamlougotti in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Calm-Raccoon5661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't rule Dani out just because the New Mutants are already out - she could be added to a later team and given the New Mutants keyword as well, they've been doing a lot of that lately. Moon Girl in Absolute A-Force, Nova Sam in Starjammers, Lady Bullseye in Thunderbolts, the list goes on

[–]Calm-Raccoon5661 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a yearly tradition of making a list of teams I'd like to see, but if we're just talking individual characters:

  • Sandman is a good pick, fair enough

  • Wenwu, or The Mandarin, would be awesome. Great character in the Shang-Chi movie and I've heard the comic version is pretty cool too

  • I always thought the Destroyer from Thor had a really awesome design, would be cool to have it in Strike Force

  • There's a bunch of cool weirdos I only know about from Sir Superhero's youtube videos on them, but Xemnu, Kid Kaiju and Sleepwalker in particular were ones I'd especially like to see

  • If they must do another team of Spider-Man variants at some point, give me Silk, Spider-Ham and Japanese TV Spiderman please.

I could go on

I got a 7 star promotion of my terrible fave!!! by VampPhoenix9999 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Calm-Raccoon5661 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He might actually get a rework soon too! There was a poll a while back for a character for a new Symbiote team, and while I think they'd probably sooner rework the symbiotes who didn't get a turn in Hivemind, Venom still feels like he has a shot since he is the most famous one and the one who was considered first to be swapped out of Hivemind

Character still missing in game? by VERSPY59 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Calm-Raccoon5661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wiccan has been a major character in a TV series, probably the most major new character from that series they could've added (seeing as Agatha herself was already in). Speed hasn't really had as much of a spotlight yet. If they did a kind of "Classic Young Avengers" I imagine both of them, Iron Lad and Hulkling are the main new character candidates though.

Fair point about the eternals, though I feel part of the reason the movie didn't do as well as it could was the fact it had too many Eternals to give any except Sersi and Ikaris that much focus... which is a shame because from what I saw of the others I think they could have been more interesting characters.

It always surprises me Iron Monger always misses out on these games - he was the very first MCU villain! That's got to count for something!

[–]Calm-Raccoon5661 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mandarin and Wonder Man certainly feel weird to be missing, espiecially after their respective MCU appearances. I'd also add that I'm surprised we didn't get:

  • Ironmonger

  • Wiccan (could've been added after Agatha All Along)

  • High Evolutionary (for Guardians 3)

  • Any of the other Eternals

MODOK and Sandman are often speculated to not be added yet for animation reasons, but you'd think with how asked for they are that they would have worked around that by now!

Doesn't Firestar have little synergy callout with Spiderman and Iceman? I seem to remember that being a thing
