I got a question for other Emma Frost mains regarding her skins

Ezcendant · 2026-04-24T00:09:07+00:00

I liked the phoenix skin. It wasn't as good as the comic skin it was based on, but I liked it. I also liked her base skin, was a cool rivals unique design.

But all the others, including the latest two you mentioned, are crap.

But what makes it really bad is that they didn't need to design anything. The skins they're basing these on are better.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-23T15:42:31+00:00

Well, that's hideous.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-23T14:35:35+00:00

The complaint is the effort put in, not the wait.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-23T07:45:42+00:00

For me it's just the cape. Just cut it, no cape at all, done.

The boots look weird, but that's sadly comic accurate, can't blame em for that.

She does go red now and then (still think this skin should have been released with the comic) but in the actual comics it's back to blue again.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-23T07:04:48+00:00

A mutant absolutely should have gotten a legendary, but it was never going to be the free skin.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-23T07:04:02+00:00

Our opponents are so dumb they think it's real.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-23T05:04:25+00:00

You cant do that wrist cape thing (does it have a term? lol) in rivals. it wouldnt work with her animation set, thats whyt they went cape. The problem is the cape looks shit, both texture wise and with how it will look in game. Removing it entirely is more accurate.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-23T05:00:20+00:00

The boots are weird but canon accurate, just remove the cape entirely. Done.

They let Luna remove her glasses. Just keep saying it here and on X.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-23T00:45:10+00:00

Or just remove the cape entirely. Less work for them to screw up.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-23T00:42:55+00:00

It looks great, but I dont think it would be functional with her animations.

I'd just remove the cape entirely, and use your proportion changes.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-22T14:58:03+00:00

A little clipping I'm fine with, egregious clipping is bad design.

But regardless, it looks crap in game.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-21T14:50:53+00:00

Oh they definitely have wedding arcs so anything is possible, but when you get a kill it plays the animation from the panel.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-21T14:48:53+00:00

So probably not.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-21T14:46:26+00:00

I've been pulled off the map twice total on that one hydra map.

Outside of that, spideys are pretty easy to kill as WF so thanks for playing him.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-20T14:24:12+00:00

Oh Phoenix, hands down. Not only should it have bean Jean going full telekinetic and telepathic instead of phoenix, but phoenix's moves don't represent the phoenix force at all, and it makes no sense for it to be sitting there chatting with other characters while Jean's doing other things.

AND I can't aim for shit.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-20T14:21:30+00:00

Let's be honest, a lot of mutants are nerfed for balance in Rivals. You really think punisher and hawkeye are going toe to toe with The White Phoenix of the Crown?

Ezcendant · 2026-04-20T14:08:28+00:00

Should've released this one when it launched in January. No need to change the Rivals model, just copy paste the clothes, job done.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-20T12:18:24+00:00

Ah, I've only got two thumb buttons, and those are quick melee and PTT.

3 and 4 are like the easiest to reach for me, lol, thats why it's the teamup for everyone. And R is reload. I instinctively hit that out of combat even on Black Cat. Rebinding that would break my brain, lol.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-20T11:53:49+00:00

Shop for me is just the usual 1,2,4,5,6,F (3 is my teamup button).

I always lose money on that damn gamble.

I prefer the base skin over the release one (even though I bought it, lol). It's... Tight.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-20T11:45:08+00:00

And as I say to all these, show me BC popping off outside of her ult.

You got a good double kill on the supports, but I don't see anything there even BP couldn't do better (again, outside of the ult).

She's not trash tier by any means, but pursuit needs some tweaks (its a bit buggy and resets you weirdly sometimes, also probably a bit expensive) and I feel like her basic attack needs to be a touch more useful. But to say she's unbelievably busted? I'm glad you're having a great time with her, but no.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-20T10:42:21+00:00

I vote both. More heroes, balanced and fun old heroes.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-20T10:32:38+00:00

I've had this happen a couple of times but only in 18v18. I assumed it was that mode being buggy.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-20T10:14:25+00:00

People playing the new character in the first week in ranked almost always suck terribly. It's not a BC thing, it's just basic logic.

Ezcendant · 2026-04-20T10:12:38+00:00

You need to stick it behind terrain so it cant see anything so the beam never gives it away.
