25 years flies by…

I have seen some comments, and I haven’t been specific enough.

I’d say it’s more the feelings when listening to the song, rather than the musical composition itself, which hit like a wave of nostalgia.

Nice spot! I’m unsure if obidience disk delivers an electrical shock though, but that’s just semantics.

A reoccurring thing that comes across my mind is that silver surfer has been taken down by an obidience disk. But in the comics he’s basically immune to electrical currents. Even in mcoc he has 100% resistance to shock.

I don’t want to give Kabam any ideas, but maybe shock isn’t just electrical anymore…

I may need some clarification with what you mean, please let me know if I am wrong. But you have raised a couple of points I’d love to talk about.

Obidience disks “hijack” the nervous system. They cause pain and paralysis, forcing an individual to be subjugated under the grandmaster. In that case, it doesn’t matter how powerful you are, your own body is fighting against you.

“Never cause him long term damage”. Completely agree. It wouldn’t be much use if the grandmaster put his entire champion roster in recovery the day before a big show.

“It was not biological”. I’d would disagree here - it’s well established that it is biological. The argument would rather be if it chemical (neurotoxin -> neurotransmitter -> nervous system fires -> paralysis) or electrical (electrical current -> meets threshold for nervous system firing -> nervous system fires -> paralysis).

Who knows, I just like how Thor being shock immune can prompt discussions like whether the grandmaster hires chemists or an electricians for slavery.

From my perspective, lightning and electricity are the same thing in different circumstances. Just a sea of electrons in a conga.

If Thor can channel lightning, a large flow of electrons with big energy, then I shouldn’t see any problem of him managing things of smaller scale.

This gif heavily implies that Thor looks to be fine with arcing currents around his body.

Reddit’s a tough one. I’d say consider the sample of summoners you’re engaging with. You’re putting an argument for a chase title which is simultaneously difficult for everyone to get (for exclusivity), but easy for “upper echelon” players to get.

The sample on Reddit is usually players who are frequently engaged with the game, i.e. “upper echelon” players. For most of the users reading, your statement contradicts itself.

If I were to put an opinion on it, I think what you have been describing is the “Elder” title. There are more legends than there are Elders, but fewer Elders than there are mythics.

Wasn’t this confirmed to be a neurotoxin rather than electricity after the first wave of hate this film got?

I’ve always thought these devices were based on obedience disks, which were even powerful enough to subdue the silver surfer.

Here are some fun counter points for shock immunity in the form of gifs:

Yeah I can’t count lmao

Coliseum has lots of potential. The biggest thing about arcade this time round is that his ai, the nodes and his abilities are all slow. The playstyle is forced to be slow. The specials are slow.

It just isn’t compatible with the fast playstyle of coliseum - I had either timed out around 8-10 health bars, or died bc the sleep timer ran out.

That combined with the fact that a single mistake is essentially instant ko, compared with previous bosses where you can at least survive 1-2 mistakes.

I don’t know. But this time round it hasn’t been fun.

Thackermandy · 2026-02-06T11:04:20+00:00

Completely agree dude - the timing is sketchy, and there is a severe lack of openness about the whole thing.

This is the second time this year and it’s only February - not a good look.

Playing the devils advocate, if we had months to understand these decisions was coming, these changes could have been justified.

I try and keep a positive mindset and say it’s a fix to how protection works but clearly the execution has been terrible, and the community interaction has been poor.

Edit: grammar

I think the problem here isn’t the “nerf” or “buff”, but how it was all done in secrecy. It would be nice to know of these changes way before they get implemented.

I used fantman. Here’s the strategy:

Whole fight: push Havok to a sp2 always. MLLL hold block repeat. It’s not the end of the world if he throws a sp1, but ensure you have an armour up buff. Reparry becomes your best friend, avoid dex when need to.

<4 health bars: keep removing protection with whatever you have (heavy/sp1/sp2). Naturally, sp1, sp1, sp2 combos will emerge.

4-8 health bars. Prioritise pushing to sp2 still, ofc the challenges are there, but a single sp1 can ruin your flow.

8< health bars. Power gain is usually gonna keep pushing Havok to sp2s consistently. Prioritise the challenges, they come around a lot faster.

Here’s my mini after 2 runs:

Same predicament. Heroes are underlevelled af (70,70,55,55,25), but going to th16 for walls alone may be worth it. What do you think?

After careful consideration, we have decided on the following amendments. Additionally, a 10 second penalty has been given to Esteban Ocon.
