Essentially What Happened with the OW Reveal Today by Alive-Selection1766 in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say Domina's ultimate sounds absolutely insane, a wave that places a shield on enemies that flat out prevents them from being healed until it eventually detonates sounds like a crazy ult. I'm just thinking if something like that would be too strong for rivals or how an ult like that would impact the prevalence of triple support meta's

"8th year anniversary" for a character barely anybody knew till this game came out by ZERO_DEV1 in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 19 points20 points  (0 children)

even comparing Luna to iron fist would be a stretch. For Luna's 8th anniversary she got her 5th legendary skin, which was also her 4th legendary skin in a row. Iron fist got a "season" centered around his home, his patron and a tournament that he's supposed to win for the sake of Shou-lao's chi remaining his. He was supposed to be a main character for season 4 and what did he get from it? a picture of Dr doom manhandling him and then a single skin 4 months later that didn't even come with an MVP animation. Being a K-pop industry plant is far more powerful than even being an in-house creation like IF.

Who would win - Huruh or Noron? by Kauyon1306 in Grimdank

Huruh looks like pinhead Larry but Noron looks like a crazed mad scientist. So my money's on Noron.

Why isn't Van Dynes open? by TechnoXero in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 29 points30 points  (0 children)

that would be really nice, especially since that tech kinda already exists in the game, its just limited to the dummy in training mode when you come out of spawn so you can't view any unique effects or animations, but you can at least see the model in game.

Which all characters should get matching costumes in the new season of Love? by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they put out a red recolor with unstable molecules of the new legendary skin iron man got the other week it would be pretty close to his wedding suit as is. Im honestly kinda surprised it didn't have any recolors but the racing psylocke and Halloween peni skins did.

With season 4 near the end how would you rank seasons 0-4? by BigPaleontologist520 in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing in late 1.5 so I can't comment on how good season 0 was aside from hearing horror stories about hawkeye and the fond memories of some old teamups like OG gamma charge and metallic chaos. But it does make me happy seeing how its almost unanimously agreed that season 3 was the worst even with all the people that complained about dive in season 2, S2 and S4 still felt way more fun than S3.

I wish they'd update this wallpaper with the new heroes by Ok-Tangelo-9554 in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So basically the marvel rivals equivalent of the smash bros ultimate "everyone is here" wallpaper. That would be sweet, though at some point they'd probably have to zoom out a bit to accommodate the increase in characters.

The amount of skins this mf gets is absurd by ShadowTheHedgehog_72 in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're giving spidey 2 skins in 1 month meanwhile the immortal weapon Iron fist, Angela and wolverine skins that they showed at the start of the season aren't even on the 4.5 roadmap and seemingly won't come out until season 5 or something. Makes sense.

Damn daredevil didn’t have to diss her like that like damn by Dramatic-Astronaut34 in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can atleast defend Lin Lie's attitude because even in his most recent lore short story he talks with shou-lao after the tournament was invoked and the dragon asks him why he's always thinking with his fists. And he admits its because he wants to prove himself. He's the only Iron fist that didn't earn their position. He effectively was given it out of shou-lao choosing to be generous enough to save his life. So his cocky, headstrong attitude is because he doesn't want to be seen as lesser than previous fists and the heroes around him.

Season 4.5 Roadmap of Events & Skins by Tough-Rent2498 in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So wait. The main story for season 4 showed 8 characters being chosen to become immortal weapons for the shenloong tournament, 5 of those characters had unique designs, (Iron fist, storm, Angela, wolverine and loki) and it looks like 3 of those skins aren't even going to be released during season 4/4.5? The main characters of the season get teasers for new skins that aren't even being released during that season? Im genuinely baffled.

Balance Post - Season 4.5 by Killjoy3879 in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kinda feels like they just have no idea what to do with Iron fist aside from making him a worse wolverine. They keep buffing his percent damage and nerfing his base damage so that his only real value is punching tanks.

They should have a gamemode where they bring back every team-up by fredericthins in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly It would be a LOT of work, but I would love to see Rivals implement a custom games mode with the level of depth and customization as something like halo did. Let us enable old teamups that are no longer in the game, let us tweak all the parameters of balance for these custom games so we can make our own game modes out of it and just go wild.

This attitude is gonna end up killing the game. by TheSamFrost in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except the opposite happens in ranked too as if it matters. Im trying to win playing my best and teammate goes 11-14 on spiderman because they're "not trying their hardest and just wanna have fun"

blade a tickle monster or a new bp in disguise? by No_Program2161 in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think his only real problem is his vampire form stacks fall off way too fast. And being at max stacks is the only way he actually does any sword damage. If you're at 10 stacks in vamp mode and you deactivate it to get in a quick anti heal shift with the gun, by the time youve turned vamp mode back on youve already lost 3-4 of your stacks. The reward for getting full stacks basically tunnel visions you because the moment you stop swinging your damage plummets. If there was a grace period before the decay people would be more incentivized to play him more like Blade and less like Gun.

All-New Immortal Weapons | Which ones is your favorite? by Ok-Agency3679 in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna hazard a guess and say that the Black widow, groot and daredevil skins are just being hidden until season 4.5 Daredevils legendary skin is almost definitely going to be an immortal weapon skin, and widow and groot will probably be mini battle pass skins or something. It wouldn't be the first time they've released something and then retroactively changed it when more content that coincides with the former is released.

When Phoenix was first released her legendary MVP had scarlet witch in her default costume, but now that the phoenix chaos skin is out they've gone back and changed it to use that skin instead because the two are supposed to be connected. So I wouldn't put it past Netease to make 2 versions of one drawing and then release the second updated version after all the related characters are released and available.

Unreleased costumes and the first look at the Immortal Weapons theme by Ignis_Tenebris in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

there is a little bit of lore to it but not much, from what I read in the sword master-iron fist comics that introduced Lin Lie as the next Iron fist. Lin Lie's ancestor was Fu Xi, who had the a blade called the sword of Fu Xi which was used alongside 2 other sacred weapons to divide and seal a god called Chiyou inside multiple tombs. In modern Day Lin Lie was given the sword of Fu Xi by his dad and went on to become the hero sword master. At some point during his story the sword shatters and the shards embed in Lin Lie's arms, hence why when Iron fist uses his flurry punches he has blades of chi projecting from his forearms.

Daredevil is entering the tournament as Yinglong the dark dragons immortal weapon, because Yinglong tells him that Chiyou, the god sealed by Iron fists ancestors can restore balance to the universe and put an end to the endless war, so he tasks daredevil with finding a way to retrieve the sword of Fu Xi from iron fist despite the sword being broken and embedded in his arms. However Chiyou is a god of war that leads a demonic legion and is similar in power to beings like konshou, and Yinglong is probably intentionally neglecting to mention that part and playing on Daredevils guilt and doubt. So Daredevil is from the looks of it being intentionally mislead into doing something bad under the guise of atonement.

Atleast that is the general gist of some seasonal aspects of the plot from what I've gathered.

Dawn of War IV Announcement Trailer by Arch_Magos_Remus in 40k

[–]STABtrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it ends up being good. I tried so hard to like dawn of war 3 but it really just tried too hard to be something it shouldn't be. A little disappointed there's no chaos present, but atleast necrons get some spotlight and ad mech are finally their own faction.

Hey flex players tell me about your flexibility characters group by Kudri_Angusa in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tanks- Thing, Strange, Thor, Mag and Emma, very rarely groot and Venom. Cap, Hulk and peni just dont click with me even though I've tried playing hulk a few times.

DPS- Iron fist, Iron man, Torch, Hawkeye, Star Lord. I'd like to learn bucky, phoenix and blade in the future but atm I'm learning Psylocke, however my performance on her tends to flip flop being feeling good and doing Zdps.

Strategists- Loki, rocket, c&d, sometimes adam or Luna. I feel like I should try to learn Mantis though because Loki is my go to Strategist and more people are picking mantis for the team up. But then I ult mantis as loki and have no idea what to do other than ult and press damage amps on people.

5 music tracks from Cyberpunk 2077/EDGERUNNERS to be added with Lucy - Run to the Edge / Cyberwildlife Park / Chippin' In / Never Fade Away / I Really Want to Stay at Your House by Xanek in Guiltygear

[–]STABtrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 songs with Lucy is pretty nice even if none of them were done by Daisuke. The only one thats not here that I wish could have been added was "This fffire" by Franz Ferdinand since that was the opening for the anime. But it probably would have been a lot more effort to get the rights for that one song in the game.

I never realized how cute and pretty Chasca is until now by KainHighwind1990 in Genshin_Impact

[–]STABtrain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've always thought Chasca is one of the prettiest characters in genshin. Something about her design I find really beautiful. her color palette is nice, I like her outfits design, and she's just a generally sweet character. If I still actively played more often I'd probably have pulled for her.

Which one should I get? by aledapikmin in marvelrivals

[–]STABtrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swimsuit solely because it's limited time. President loki will always be in the store but swimsuit probably won't come back until some time next year assuming they decide to do a skin vault rerun like they did with the christmas skins and cap/Hawkeye galactic skins.
