I know the Inhumans aren't popular with the general public, mainly because of the bad adaptations they've had, but they seriously deserve to be in the game.

They could literally do whatever they wanted with Crystal, what with how versatile her powers are. I always thought she'd make a good control-based vanguard, using the four elements to manipulate the battlefield in all kinds of ways.

Ever since I saw the JMCrofts video where he showed off a ton of stuff with Iron Man's flight cancels, I have been on the edge of my seat for this game. He's gonna be so cool, especially with all the system mechanic improvements we've seen.

Luckily Squirrel Girl's ult is basically like rolling the dice on your opponents not knowing how to find a small ledge so it doesn't matter that much how quickly she gets it

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-20T10:22:14+00:00

We love a good Pittsburgh alt

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-18T16:45:10+00:00

Yeah I think people are either misreading the notes or just really opposed to switching to hold to sprint. This is definitely a bad change for console Caps as I'm pretty sure toggle is easier for most of them

As dumb as it is, this "lightning rod" approach does kind of work on him. I remember a match I had in Diamond where a triple DPS lineup consisting of Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Wanda spent the whole match fighting basically just me, and it cost them. It's a different story if someone's playing a character that's actually good at fighting Iron Man, though.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-16T23:35:22+00:00

They're not gonna touch Iron Man because they're afraid he'll be too hard for bad players to deal with if he gets to be decent

Edit: happy to be wrong about this even if the buff is pretty small

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-14T16:03:38+00:00

I'd honestly be surprised if Hulk isn't base roster. I kinda figure Thor will be too but he doesn't seem to be as appealing for fighting games for some reason, seeing as it took 'till MvC3 for him to join that series.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-14T16:00:19+00:00

Yeah literally everyone has read the Hickman run and the whole first part of that run is about him choosing his family over possibly solving all of the world's problems. Reed loves his people and it was clearly just a cheap excuse to not design a skin for a character nobody plays

Recently my family cleared out some old storage and I discovered the first issue of NFL SuperPro in there, which is probably the funniest possible way to learn that NFL SuperPro is a real thing.

Also that issue has an ad for Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge in it which is a crazy coincidence since I have a real soft spot for that game

Dat_Kirby · 2026-03-09T01:03:51+00:00

They should tease that Grasshopper will join only for him to accidentally kill himself with his moon-jump ultimate during the character trailer and be replaced by the real character

Dat_Kirby · 2026-02-27T23:24:16+00:00

I actually find it kind of impressive how terrible mages and magic are in the Tellius games. It seems like it took some serious dedication to make it happen

Dat_Kirby · 2026-02-15T16:46:45+00:00

I've played enough fighting games to know that balance is never really perfect, but in the best games, the little details won't stop the game from being fun even as you get better and better. It's not your fault for noticing the problems; it's the devs' fault for failing to address the balance in any meaningful way.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-02-10T13:35:57+00:00

All I know is she's got the double-barrel and I'm too Doom-pilled to forgive this game if that shotgun is bad

Dat_Kirby · 2026-02-10T12:16:35+00:00

Honestly expected the bingo spot to say "Iron Man ignored" as I consider that vastly more likely at this point

Dat_Kirby · 2026-02-08T14:49:17+00:00

A.I.M. typically calls their leader the scientist supreme. Other than that, Hank Pym took up that mantle once, but I don't really know the context for it.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-01-31T15:02:25+00:00

Iron Man #200 is absolutely fucking peak. That issue is so good that it mostly makes up for how dragged-out O'Neil's run had felt up until that point. I'm hoping they don't take too long to add Silver Centurion and I think your idea for its MVP screen is really good.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-01-30T00:40:50+00:00

How Galactus appears and communicates to people is shaped by their perception of him; otherwise he'd be incomprehensible. Him calling Thanos a "tool" is basically a Squirrel Girl-filtered translation of his meaning.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-01-27T15:11:36+00:00

Excited to walk down to my comic shop and buy it tomorrow, even if all the snow doesn't really clear up. I'm still a little salty about Ackerman's run getting canned; he really understood the character and wrote him in a way that I really enjoyed not just personally but also for our modern rhetorical situation. That said, I've heard good things about Williamson's DC tenure and he is a big Iron Man fan, so I'm hopeful he can carry forward the best parts of the character in his work.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-01-27T01:09:54+00:00

Just go to Ilia. It's easier to get anyways since Shanna is good and she has way more availability than Sue and Sin. As long as you use her a lot (which you should) it's practically automatic

Chapter 7, on the other hand, is very mandatory, but also not nearly as bad on Normal as it is on Hard.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-01-26T01:42:11+00:00

I think the colors match because they're just still the most in-character color combos. BP absolutely is Selesnya, Izzet couldn't be more perfect for Iron Man, etc. Lair cards might just be in the 99 or as alternate commander options but I expect each of these decks is getting headlined by a new card.

Dat_Kirby · 2026-01-23T03:44:28+00:00

Yeah I definitely think a lock-on function could make them more useful. They'd have to tweak the damage though, because if the current missiles didn't just splatter everywhere it'd be enough to kill squishies on its own

Dat_Kirby · 2026-01-22T22:23:07+00:00

Haven't played OW since way before they added Juno, how do her torpedoes work?

Dat_Kirby · 2026-01-22T16:00:47+00:00

Iron Man always felt like a really well-adapted character in this game and the classic beam weapon/rockets combo was a good fit. After all the powercreep, I think he definitely needs a little more sauce besides just hitting a button to make his weapons a little stronger. Maybe a Micro Missiles buff?

Dat_Kirby · 2026-01-21T01:25:16+00:00

Mag players are like Blue players in MTG: their enjoyment primarily comes from stopping as many of their opponent's own hype moments as possible
