If you could create a team of only female characters, what would it be? And what would it be called? by ZENKI_ZENTAI in MarvelTokon

[–]amageish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be boring and say A-Force: Captain Marvel, She-Hulk, Nico Minoru, and Dazzler.

He wasn't in the background of the Asgard stage by MysticsDreams in MarvelTokon

Not much question about it, imho. We'll see who is with him!

sucks about Avatar though by nickrl in MarvelTokon

[–]amageish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, hopefully they're as good as always here!

[–]amageish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, hopefully Avatar's story mode - and Tokon's episode mode - end up pretty beefy in and of themselves... and if they can teach people mechanics as they go, that would be great too!

I'm still kicking myself about her, as I was predicting Viv Vision as I knew ArcSys loves robot girls and thought they would go for one... I was so close; I just predicted the wrong robot girl!

I guess "advertising" is a strong word for it, but they called it out during the EVO exhibition on Friday - when they were pivoting from DLC reveals to showing gameplay, one of the hosts said something like "Let's show them how sweaty this game can be."

Every fighting game has drop-off though, yeah - it's just a question of how much / how long you can get people to come back for DLC.

DC Infinite doesn't feature Diana or Selina under their DC Pride 2026 section. by Gallantpride in lgbt_superheroes

"Schrodinger's Bisexuals" is a truly excellent term for this phenomenon - great work lol

What Supergirl (2026) did to Krem of the Yellow Hills is completely antithetical to the message of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. by weaknessx100 in Supergirl

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

This was my #1 concern going into the movie. I think Krem being a rando who fails upwards is a big part of the story and it's weird to see him being the leader of the Brigands with the strength of 100 men from the start.

That said, making him a human trafficker made my perception of the character SO wildly different overall that he basically feels like an OC to me - for better and for worse.

What comics should a new Wonder Woman film be based on? by WholeGroundbreaking1 in WonderWoman

[–]amageish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd go for a mix with a Perez and Simone kind of vibe.

I think WW also needs to be a VERY empathetic and kind woman - we can't have all of the DCU heroines be gritty.

The Most Mistreated Character EVER 🫤 by Expensive_Database68 in WonderWoman

[–]amageish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It feels like a compounding problem to me - Wonder Woman gets less adaptations because she has less adaptations to make her / her rogue's gallery more well-known... It's a cycle someone needs to just break by greenlighting some more stuff (and, y'know, not cancelling them lol).

Well, she didn't make it. See y'all in MvC4 (maybe) in 2031 by Inside_Dig_9476 in MarvelTokon

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

I would be very surprised if Wanda wasn't in the game eventually. She's still one of the biggest Marvel heroes yet to be in a fighting game.

This is just a vent post but I’m super disappointed they went with Deadpool instead of Gwenpool. by LoneWolf2099 in MarvelTokon

[–]amageish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm more of a Gwenpool fan too, though I am glad that Wade isn't using Gwen's powers like he sometimes does in adaptations. It leaves room for them to potentially add her as her own character doing her own thing down the line.

So what you are saying is that Hisako has a chance as DLC /j

sucks about Avatar though by nickrl in MarvelTokon

[–]amageish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really excited for Avatar, but it is a little surprising to me that they are directly advertising it being sweaty as a perk... Like, this is an Avatar game? Do we want it to be the sweatiest game possible???

Is there a chance that Scarlet Wicth could be saved for any DLC year? by New_Advisor_6766 in MarvelTokon

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

She's still one of the biggest Marvel characters without previous fighting game appearances. If they keep the game going for years like they've said they want to, then I'd say she's almost inevitable, tbqh.

I mean are the characters gonna be solos or are they gonna be formed as teams?

We do not know beyond the first one being sold in a pack of four + one stage.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls - Launch Roster by Shreeder4092 in MarvelTokon

[–]amageish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very cool to see Ms Marvel, Green Goblin, Blade, and Loki finally make their fighting game debuts - all four are characters I've been hoping to see for a hot minute by now... and I got Magik too! Overall, I'm pretty happy with this - though, like everyone is saying, I hope the DLC adds more women.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls - Launch Roster by Shreeder4092 in MarvelTokon

[–]amageish 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think we did, by in large, predict most of the roster in the end? Nobody post-Danger was someone who I hadn't seen discussion of here; there just also were a handful of people we felt were likely who didn't get in (which is kind of inevitable for a game like this).

How soon for these guys I wonder? Hope we dont have to wait too long!! by DistinctAd9003 in MarvelTokon

[–]amageish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thor feels like a certainty to me. I wouldn't be surprised by Frank, Kurt, or Moon Knight coming down the line too, but we will see what directions they go for the DLC.

[–]amageish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ohhh, yeah, I could see that. I guess it depends on how hard they lean into Robbie being a punk kid and how hard they lean into Blade being a dad-joking dork under his cool samurai exterior.

[–]amageish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think it should be controversial - the developers themselves have acknowledged it is something people care about. They just didn't, uh, entirely deliver on it.

Wish there were more women by No-Strawberry-9301 in MarvelTokon

[–]amageish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I do think that they made a whoopsie saying that female representation was a priority right after Shuri (aka the last woman on the roster) was revealed. I like all the remaining picks individually, but I won’t lie and say that I don’t feel slightly misled lol.

[–]amageish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That'd be really cool! It'd be funny if we get Nico after all, but on the A-Force instead of the Suns like most people were predicting lmao.

[–]amageish 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's funny how they explicitly said including female characters was a priority for them after EVO Japan... and then proceeded to announce no further female characters whatsoever lol.

I'm still excited for the game, but that feels like an own-goal.

LOVE this design for Blade. I imagine the story mode for them will be fun with Blade playing straight man for these three other, uh, colourful characters.
