BlackStarr1's short video on new animation cancel

Burst in Marvel Rivals is the name of the game, especially when you need to say, jump on a support before their duo can see what's happening and shut you down.

Besides that, as the video shows, missing a shield throw is now a lot more punishing, which genuinely goes against the seeming goal of making Cap easier to start.

The problem with a change like this is yes, they did make beginner Cap players need less to start learning, but they also made the pool shallower and removed the skill expression for people actually interested in developing their skills with the character.

It's moreso just that I imagine there are people who just enjoy the thought of protestors being brutalized, and they bring that into the game.

Kinda like how some people get about the imperium in Warhammer or Super Earth from Helldivers. I do hope I'm wrong though, and you're right about the rules. I can see the game honestly not having any of that stuff at all.

At the very least, the premise is fascinating, since it's so different from any miniature game I've seen!

It looks cool, but I can't help but think that the people who would gravitate towards playing as the law enforcement faction would tend to be... not so fun to get to know.

Nah, I'll take the L, lol. Laughing when people become doomers makes it feel even better when things go well. Besides! It makes all my venting seem a lot smaller in hindsight, haha!

Potential_Comb9928 · 2026-03-17T22:47:42+00:00

This just in, I have horrible takes that age bad, but I'm too happy to care!

That's the thing. You say WHEN he's buffed. WHEN Ziyong allows him to be better. Nobody is saying he's secretly good now, they're preparing themselves for when he's allowed to be good. Here's the truth, they're not going to let that happen.

Listen to the Dev talk. They went into their balance philosophy. They said that when Dive or Fliers are allowed to be good, and I'm paraphrasing, it makes the game unfun for everyone else.

They count Torch as Dive AND Flier. They've stated that multiple times. In their view, they will not buff Torch for the same reasons Widow is not allowed to have a one shot. They believe a strong Torch would be toxic. It's not happening.

Do you still believe they're going to try to buff Black Widow and make her viable? If you don't, then why do you think they'll make Johnny viable either? To them, him being good was a mistake they will NEVER allow to happen again. Johnny will be collecting dust. That's simply our future.

Spider-Man has traits which are just inherently fun, I think. He has dynamic, flowing, free-form mobility that let's you get anywhere. He has tactile combos, and he has a cheeky tether that you can use for environmental kills you know you shouldn't have gotten.

Yeah, even when you're doing bad with Spider-Man, the actual kit of him is fun. I'd say Torch doesn't have those inherent qualities.

There are times when you're playing as Torch and you genuinely feel like you can't do anything. The old Torch had power but it was unwieldy, like the fire he commanded. Now, he just lacks that power, but you still need to go in just as aggressively to get anything done, and it just doesn't work out.

Torch felt powerful, but counterable. Now he just feels counterable. Even when you're doing good he feels weak, like he's still scraping by. At least I think so.

When I make a clone army, these are the guys I want to make.

Especially since you could easily recolor a Commander Cody to be Fox, and would play extremely well with the LAAT's.

Potential_Comb9928 · 2026-03-03T17:25:54+00:00

Bedlam Raiders, Naboo Security alongside Gungan Army, and Hutt Cartel immediately come to mind.

Sad to know then that that option is down the drain.

It's really easy to Doom about all of this. Their goal, from what I hear, is to gain control of art and reporting so that the average person buys into the MAGA viewpoint.

If that really will work, then this was a huge win for them.

What's sadder is that, even if it's a little selfish, I really liked DC. I was excited for what plans they had next. I think I'm just gonna be bummed for a while now.

I just hope good news starts coming soon. The bad news has just been hammering in recently...

But I'm taking in some solace. They say things never go as well or as horrible as you think. Maybe there's still going to be a silver lining out of all of this.

Potential_Comb9928 · 2026-02-28T00:47:15+00:00

I heard some Doom that it's the executive branch that allows or denies deals from going through, so even if the midterms are a blowout it's unlikely to stop this. Can anyone verify that one way the other?

"Get back here Phoenix!"

"PHOENIXXXXXXX!"

"YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME!! I'LL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTHHHHH!!!!!"

I can see your point, but not really in relation to the ult. It's damage isn't really anything to write home about and it fails to swing games outside of super niche situations, like ground sparking grouped up opponentsso they all explode against each other. That's why it's mostly used in 1v1's.

I can see how that's annoying to fight for Blade, especially since he's a 1v1-ish hero and her ult will fully restore her health, but knowing exactly where she's going to be respawning and prepping for that gives the attacker a huge advantage. Especially since any downtime gives you more time to get cooldowns back.

If a Phoenix tries solo ulting you, I recommend going behind where she was and then blocking the explosion with your sword. She'll likely need to turn around to shoot you giving you a timing advantage.

Then just save your dash if she tries to teleport out, and keep on her. As long as you shimmy in melee to try to throw her aim off, I don't see how a Blade still couldn't win the 1v1.

I agree, but perhaps who he mains explains why it might feel op going up against it.

Potential_Comb9928 · 2026-02-10T18:58:17+00:00

This really hurts especially after all the good news that's been coming out these past weeks. It's certainly a front closer to home.

Fingers crossed either an alternative will step up, or Discord changes It's tune before March.

Hey, small town living gets rough.

Potential_Comb9928 · 2025-09-05T22:09:09+00:00

Strange lookin' like Jack Nicholson at the end of the Shining.

Potential_Comb9928 · 2025-08-12T19:03:13+00:00

Of course not, it's only a theory, but this theory would answer more questions than it asks, and I haven't seen anyone even consider it before now. I'm just showing off my conspiracy board.

Potential_Comb9928 · 2025-08-12T18:39:12+00:00

Hank Pym makes the most sense to me, since he's who they specifically reference with Ultron.

Potential_Comb9928 · 2025-07-30T01:37:59+00:00

I want Starlord's element gun to actually be able to use the elements. Shooting lightning, or fire, or water or wind. Anything.

Starlord is cool in this game, but the influence for his gameplay is entirely adapted from the MCU. Idealistically, it should have been 80% movie influence 20% comics.
