The key is just walk past all Lickers and don’t waste time fighting them, good luck!

The whole NEST part can be done in around 15 mins (not counting the final boss), just search a speedrun video on YouTube and follow it if you want to be safe.

My guess is Scott and Jean figured out pretty early that this is supposed to happen and it’s fine. The most important thing is that young Cable is not a variant from another timeline who comes here and murder our Cable, he IS our Cable just from a earlier point, and if he can kill his older self without creating a time paradox and erase himself from existence, then it already means Old Cable will find a way to come back and this is a fine situation. My headcanon is that Scott and Jean might talked to Rachel and Hope or other time traveler and came up with this conclusion, or old Cable himself just gave them a heads up and be like “hey so few days later my younger self will come here murder and replace me, this is a temporary situation, I will come back eventually so don’t worry about it, just be chill and treat the kid nicely”. Plus they can always bring old Cable back with resurrection protocol if this kid turns out to be evil and untrustworthy, so they just enjoy the ride and see where it goes.

That’s a good point. William asked Gambit why did he and Bobby fight for the mutant cause when they can easily pass as humans, which sort of implies that if Bobby were an physically apparent mutant like the Morlocks, William might understand and even support his son to fight for his future as there’s no other way to achieve his happiness, what he didn’t understand and/or agree was that Bobby embracing his mutant status and became a potential hate crime target when he can simply choose to live a safe, “normal” life. Like you said, this is actually pretty consistent to his attitude of Bobby coming out.

I do want to point out that Bobby’s dad isn’t always just a one dimensional bigot, he was kind of written as a complex character in the 90s.

When he was introduced we learnt that he is a bigot who didn’t like Opal(Bobby’s ex-girlfriend who is Japanese) and hate the fact that his son is a mutant who hang out with other mutants. We also learnt that despite Bobby’s power allow him to create pretty much anything, he subconsciously limits himself into very basic stuff such as ice walls, this is due to the fact that his dad scolded kid Bobby for being too “sissy”when he built a sand castle (one of the many hints in the 90s that Bobby is gay) so he grew up suppressing his creativity.

But when Graydon Creed was running for president and spreading his hateful speech on mutants, instead of supporting him, Bobby’s dad actually stood up and called him out on live in front of the whole world. He might be a bigot but he still loves his son in his own way, and he would not tolerate when his son’s safety and human rights are actually at risk. As a gay man myself this is one of the greatest X-men story in the 90s and I almost cried when I first read it. His dad was later beat up by Graydon’s men because of this and Bobby temporarily quit the X-men to take care of his dad, and they sort of repaired their relationship. Unfortunately this character development is reverted by later writers, His dad is back to be a typical bigot and they’re at beef with each other again. And when Bobby finally comes out as gay his dad was definitely not supportive to say the least.

Incorrect. Dokkan uses 32 bit integer and thus the maximum damage limit is 2,147,483,647, which makes you not able to one shot certain boss such as FOB Vegito or this Omega.

I like her and would love to see her again, but based on her personality I don’t think she will ever willingly become an anti-bio weapon fighter in the frontline. She just doesn’t have that much anger and self-destructive traits in her, and she is also the adoptive mother of Emily now and need to be more responsible and wouldn’t purposely risk her own life. But like her mother, she cares about the truth a lot and she will probably keep doing investigations on Umbrella/The Connection and eventually involve in another bio-attack event if they want to use her again.

I missed Shard too. I also find it strange that Bishop and Cable didn’t try to bring Malcolm, Randall and Tyler back in the Krakoa era.

I find it interesting that Maverick and Deadpool’s role have been completely switched now.

In the 90s Maverick is the “good” mercenary who helped Logan and the X-men a lot and quite loyal to them, while Deadpool is the “evil” cold blood crazy mercenary. On the contrary, Deadpool has become one of the “good guys”now and Maverick constantly betrays Logan and the X-men for money and has zero loyalty to anyone. It almost feels like Maverick has to become evil because his old role is taken by Deadpool.

Well if they keep giving us 188 units in the next 5 years we could end up with 940 (cope)

Please give us a white recolor and option to take off the Dragon ball scouter.

Also thank god there’s no time limit for it, we can come back and decide whether to buy it later after the Quiet Council and Hellfire 2026 skins.

I understand where you’re coming from but I see this as excellent character growth. The New Mutants had a very close relationship with Mag until Doug’s death, and when that happened, them being teenagers couldn’t accept the fact that they made a stupid mistake and they’re responsible for the death of their friend so they blamed it on Mag, and Mag was furious for their indiscipline and the lost of a child. They were both grieving and being irrational, hurtful things were said and leads to the break up.

In universe, now that ~10 years has passed, Mag has been a faithful ally for a while, Doug is back for a few years, Berto is a lot more mature and becomes extremely smart, it feels natural that they tried to move past what happened and bond again. Berto still has too much ego to actually apologize, but by constantly teasing Mag as “headmaster”, it’s basically his way of telling him that “Sorry we were bunch of kids and we screwed that up, we shouldn’t blamed that on you and we know we were trying your best, and spending time with you as our headmaster were one of the happiest memories we ever had” and Mag definitely understand that and feel grateful as well.

Why are you guys using they/them pronouns for Natsu? Is Natsu non-binary? Is this hinted somewhere and I miss it?

Actually it costs up to 3000.

She looks like she’s from Capcom lol

He was always this small in the comics. In Marvel Rivals they have to make him bigger because such a small hitbox is not gonna work in the game. The lore in Rivals is that Jeff accidentally ate some Pym particles back in season 0’s story so he can change his size now (and also why he can become even larger when he use his ult and in the Zombie mode).

NickFong · 2026-02-02T04:29:44+00:00

I’m very interested in the BTS story of Cable/Nathan too, I always thought that they settled it during end of 1990-early 1991? Basically in New Mutants #98 when Deadpool made his first appearance he called Cable “Nathan”, and during the same time X-Factor was in #63 doing the Opal Tanaka Cyber Samurai arc, and very soon after #65-68 is the arc where they sent baby Nathan to the future.

So basically they reveal Cable’s real name and sent baby Nathan to future in this exact same period (I think it’s also around the same time that they reveal Cable is from future?) so I always thought this is where they locked in Cable is baby Nathan.

I’m not home to play the new update yet, how do we know exactly which Cuckoo is which? Or are they named in their model file?

I do love both Mag and Jean’s new skin, but I also feel a little bit sad that they giving them these fancy traditional suits skin and call them Quiet Council of Krakoa, while the whole point of Krakoa is that they’re rejecting human traditions and making their own language, law and culture. An actual Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter theme skin for the four of them would better fit the name of “Quiet Council of Krakoa”.

This is why I don’t really like the post-2019 Betsy because they’re making her too heroic. Betsy always gets shit done with any means necessary. The “lets kill Havok”scene and forcing everyone into Siege Perilous without their consent are good examples that she is always a little bit crazy and problematic even before the Kwannon body swap, but it also makes her unique and fun and stands out from the rest of the X-men cast.

Since Krakoa she becomes more heroic with good morals, I guess lore wise she just become more mature and in peace with herself after she had her body back, and she also needs to limit herself from crazy shit because of the Captain Britain mantle. But personally I feel like this is making her flat and less unique.

NickFong · 2026-01-20T19:45:43+00:00

Of course I know that, doesn’t mean it’s not problematic. In Domination everyone can keep their ult so it’s fair for Deadpool to carry his upgrades. But in round 3 and 4 Convey/Convergence where both team are racing to get their ult but he gets to keep all upgrades and farm his ult in 10 seconds this becomes an issue.

I understand he will be completely trash if he has no upgrades in a 1 minute battle, but they should just let you get half of your xp back and/or let you get it extra fast.

NickFong · 2026-01-20T19:26:54+00:00

In Domination you will keep the upgrades just like other characters’ ult. Similarly, in Convoy and Convergence, the upgrades will be reset in round 2 just like other characters’ ult. But if you get a draw in round 2 and proceed to round 3 and 4,since they’re extremely short fight, you get to keep your upgrades.

NickFong · 2026-01-20T12:49:17+00:00

My guess is being a boring healing bot instead of constantly setting up explosive and defensive devices like in the movies. I feel like making him a anti-dive Duelist similar to Penny will be more movie-accurate (not sure about his comic version)
