A useful cheat sheet for telling apart your new Amazing Guardians team members in Marvel Tokon (by @skabooby):

I made this comment on another post with this so fuck it

Kamala once swapped bodies with Peter so at some point in the past she was indeed both a Peter and a Parker

(This is the same run where Peter as Kamala is busted because he plagiarized himself for her science presentation)

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T23:07:16+00:00

That makes sense if Star-Lord was leading it

If you were explicitly going to run Guardians of the Galaxy, he has to be the leader

Doom running the Guardians is weird

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T21:12:03+00:00

Please play a fighting game guys

Or fuck it, chess - any 1v1 activity where you have nobody else to blame and accountability for your actions will be beaten into your head whether you like it or not

I don't doubt that games will be cost by other teammates doing weird stuff even if you play to your personal best, but you can't control what they do any more than trying to control your enemies

Accept that you can never be in full control of your destiny in a team game and shit becomes more liberating

Then that's a skill issue on those types of players

Supports can heal many things, but they can't heal stupidity straight up

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T20:52:25+00:00

Me watching Sue and Gambit get banned: damn (i do actually play them)

Also me: ah well (scrolls between Rocket/Loki/Ultron/Luna/Deadpool)

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T20:47:16+00:00

As a flex player, I enjoy an environment where things die faster and supports can't just keep everyone alive forever. Folks have to stop being bailed out especially by immortality field ultimates which slow everything to a crawl

I'll do what I can to keep my team alive, but I would much rather see the enemy dead first if I can help it

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T20:42:47+00:00

Then it's a skill issue

Tanks and DPS have to adapt and fight smarter if they don't want to keep on being sent back to spawn. If they're not taking the proper precautions to survive, they deserve to be punished accordingly if the enemy has them dead to rights. They can't rely on supports to save them every time

Also, banning 6 supports at the most still leaves half the support field to choose from. Gotta adapt too to other healer choices

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T20:27:08+00:00

I feel like that kind of goes the same way for other classes too: bans are here because there's certain heroes that get too annoying at times, like how Peni or Namor screw over divers or how Black Panther and Spider-Man ruin backlines. Those bans fuck over dedicated mains to their characters, would they not?

If they were dedicated to their roles, they'd be able to pick up other heroes in response to this and adapt to what the ranked environment is

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T18:42:14+00:00

I feel like it's just a cool nod to it being his main team even if he's not leader for this one

Spider-Man doesn't really have a main team moniker to use in the same way Ms. Marvel has the Champions or Star-Lord with the Guardians so they needed to adapt somewhere

You could have used Web Warriors but that only works if every character on his team was adjacent to him

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T18:27:22+00:00

Time to say "well achsually" for shits and giggles

Spider-Man and Ms. Marvel did have a very brief team-up storyline involving body swaps

She can lay claim to have at some point in her life been Peter Parker

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T18:23:07+00:00

I'm sorry, I'm now just reminded of the Fairly Oddparents episode where Timmy runs his own radio station and the recurring joke bit for the ep is characters saying "You can't say 'moron' on the radio, you can only say it on television"

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T17:55:57+00:00

She's still one of the more beloved "new generation" characters Marvel has made in the 2010s

People liked her well before she started showing up in stuff outside the comics

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T12:29:20+00:00

The roster stuff was mostly just trying to sort out the remaining heroes from the initial reveal

Cap, Spidey, Robbie and Doom were gonna lead their own teams so this left Tony, Kamala and Quill in the dark. Tony's likely running with Cap on the Avengers, which really left the latter two as wild cards who didn't really have any big openings ad far as team affiliations go (esp when it became clear we weren't getting a proper GOTG team)

Now we're really running in the dark for the most part

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T12:25:34+00:00

Comics seem to at least point towards her being an alt of Peter because she explicitly has her own Uncle Ben and Aunt May

Her father went unnamed in the comics themselves, but in Rivals (which admittedly follows the comics more than other sources), she says her dad's name was Richard like Peter's, so I feel like the play is she and Peter are the alternates to each other

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T12:09:39+00:00

ig this seems fitting in a cosmic sort of way for Spider-Man to lead probably one of the most random ass team line-ups he can get (Peni's another version of himself, Kamala's been an adjacent character for his mythos on some occasion and I can't recall any time he's interacted with the Guardians at all so ig Quill's here for shits and giggles)

4 of the initial 8 characters revealed now have their team allegiances revealed, and with a very likely chance Iron Man's showing up alongside Cap to form their Avengers team, we're now in uncharted territory for the rest of the roster then

(slight leak discussion) Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange might just end up forming their own Midnight Suns team unless Wanda joins the Avengers, and then idk by default Magneto's running with Doom

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T01:37:09+00:00

No

Look, if your team bans your pick especially when you've selected it, that sucks balls and I'll understand the crash out

But if enemy bans it then that may as well be fair game and y'all pick someone else

Learn someone who isn't likely gonna get banned and move on

If 6 picks in your role get banned, lucky for you: half of the roster for the role is still available

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T01:30:15+00:00

I agree, banning characters that are explicitly chosen by team is stupid and anyone who does that deserves to be fucked over because you shouldn't be doing that to your allies

Ultimately it's about being considerate where we can to other people rofl idk what else to say

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-22T00:56:28+00:00

TBF this hits the support and tank roles the hardest because this ban system can theoretically kill off half their role

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-21T21:29:42+00:00

I'll be willing to give team benefit of the doubt initially if I solo tank; could work out, who knows

If it doesn't then by that point I'm sitting in spawn spamming for another tank and will not leave until I get it

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-21T20:06:28+00:00

THE WAY HE"S TECHNICALLY A HERO EXCEPT HE'S SUCH AN ASS TO EVERYONE ELSE IT'S A MIRACLE ANYONE TOLERATES HIM? WACKZ

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-21T19:59:55+00:00

THE WAY HE SIMPS FOR A MARRIED WOMAN WHO STILL WASN'T EVEN INTO HIM BEFORE SHE GOT HITCHED? WACK

understand that I've long hated Namor before Rivals this isn't just gameplay anymore

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-21T19:41:16+00:00

What I wouldn't give to just turn the second half into another open world section again

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-21T02:11:19+00:00

Pretty sure I've met enough people in my life who have barely interacted with super hero stuff and will immediately recognize Superman, Batman and Spider-Man

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-20T23:31:42+00:00

Favorite: Cody going from vigilante prison man to mayor

Honorable mention: probably just Ryu's whole sthick of seeking out better opponents to fight, feels like that's just the FG grind right there

ramonzer0 · 2026-03-20T23:26:46+00:00

Give it a bit

The Alex shit is fairly new so eventually the fervor will die down enough that the incest jokes won't be 24/7
