r/rivals

when I started playing this game, I didn’t really know the lore of the mutants or krakoa

so I thought that that groot was related to krakoa since….they are both trees, well…look like trees

i thought that was groot‘s mother or something imao, I’m sorry💔

That was something 🤣

(Please y’all be chill)

Idk when it started but every game on defense in Arrako, the team stuffs themselves into that red circle and whenever the team needs to push back, no one bothers to actually jump down and play the corner.

The way people USED to play defense when the map came out was in the green circle. So when you needed to back up, you can go behind the corner

Seems like this point of defense is impossible to hold nowadays

anyone got any tips on how I could practice this repetitively? I usually don't land these kind of shots unless it's a regular flyer like iron man, Ultron, storm

I’ve been seeing between each of the character, main subs where I see a few posts of people saying balancing is the reason skin don’t sell and that’s false considering how squirrel girl, Iron Man even Scarlett witch are considered low tier but they be selling m skins like hot cakes. Even Miller in this tweet says that.

It’s simple y’all preach about wanting certain characters to get skins, but I’m going to ask each and every one of you are you actually going to buy that skin if they do produce it I mean, considering Hulk hasn’t gotten a new skin in a while and his last skin was the maestro skin. It should tell you didn’t sell well even though it was one of the most requested skins.

Even Emma sells skins despite the sub complaints that each skin looks ugly. But then some people are gonna throw the argument that a lot of these characters haven’t gotten a proper legendary that’ll you would actually want.

And that’s where your argument falls apart, cause you’re not gonna like it I mean look at the Adam skin they complained that I didn’t have recolors or VFX effects when originally legendary’s didn’t even have that yeah we weren’t complaining back then it’s only because the bar was raised. Do we complain that the old legendary’s are now low effort you need to stop moving the goal post

Let’s look at every single legendary skin that was released before the first recolors came in, before legendary only had different sound effects to them like an ult having noise or when he grabs you out out of the air and it plays a bell noise or Captain America infinity war is shield sounding different. Those were the most changes you would get.

As soon as VFX effects came in, y’all started moving the Goal post demanding every skin to be just like those skins when every legendary skin before, didn’t have that and sure they’re updating some of them. Hell there’s even some of you saying the legendary Hulk skin is terrible and I think it’s a well designed skin y’all have just grown so accustomed to having a bunch of extra stuff on your skin that anything that doesn’t have it is mediocre to you.

I’m gonna throw an example. Let’s say they decide to release a black widow, legendary. three different red colors. A different glasses or helmet. VFX and it’s not from a comic, but it’s an original design no inspiration from the comics would everyone here buy it? Would you look at the skin say it looks good and then buy it and then play widow?

It’s simply put if you want a character to get a legendary skin or skins, you should put more time into that character instead of not playing them and then hop on the rage train as soon as someone who actually plays the character and has the hours on that character wants a skin.

I can even bubble White Fox during her ult. White Fox and Rocket both have a base health stat that can't be healed, only damaged.

If CnD ults, Magneto has to initiate ult, wait for the perfect time for the ball to charge up, and hit CnD, precisely at the perfect point. And, that's if someone isn't jumping in front of CnD to shield her, or her Magneto hasn't bubbled her.

When Phoenix ults, (with a buff that gave her ult extra hp) she doesn't even have to hit Rocket's amp directly. She can shoot it anywhere, and as long as it's on the same height, the shock wave will continue to travel throughout the map, and still give her value.

If you wanted to help your Rocket, you have absolutely zero options to do so, other than asking him to switch. Unless, you queued up with 5 other poke character mains, who all simultaneously look up to shoot at Phoenix's bird. Which is infinitely more to ask from a team of randoms, than just, "hey, please bubble me", from 1 tank.

CnD can still play around Magneto with ease, while Phoenix makes one of our support characters completely unplayable. How is that fair in the slightest?

TLDR: Magneto has the harder ult to hit, while having counters to it, and all of the risk. Phoenix gets more value out of her ult, while trying less, and having basically nonexistent counterplay to her.

We need something good for Rocket. Phoenix needs nerfs or more counters introduced against her. Or let the team help supports more, by maybe letting me bubble Rocket's amp, or letting invisible woman place her shield on it.

And this extends to the community of Hela mains, Phoenix counters her ult entirely too, I see you guys.

TLDR: I believe the character mentioned at the end of the gallery card and viewed in the picture is a red herring for the new character, and is actually something to do with the lore, the characters will instead be cyclops and devil dinosaur

I have a few reasons for thinking this:

1. The biggest reason: The way characters were teased before vs now. In earlier seasons the two heroes that were going to come were, not so blatantly, described in the last few sentences of the last card for the season; "and if you play your cards right and they don't drain every last bit of your life force," and "a blathering, foul-mouthed mercenary and a monster hunter as deadly as she is beautiful" are how the gambit/rogue, and deadpool/elsa seasons were teased, pretty obvious. But something changed for the tease when it came to the current season. instead of being mentioned in the text, a hint in the visual was given (the white fox and black cat by deadpool's feet). The end of the card mentioned someone locking down manhatten, which we now know to be kingpin, and no hints were given for black cat or white fox except in the picture, they teased the LORE of the next season with the text. it is for this reason, i think they are changing how they handle character teasers to make it less obvious, and i think instead this character mentioned at the end of the card and is seen, is actually either the villain of the season, or a pawn of them. I personally believe it is a rogue clone made by mister sinister since the designs are similar and hair fits, also explaining why she would have the "exact same thought patterns as [Rogue]."

2. The character design: obviously the character is meant to be unknown and i think it does a pretty good job of confusing the players just like the daredevil visual did before he came out. Many guess that the character is captain marvel, which makes sense lore wise why she would have similar thought patterns as Rogue. However, the hairstyle, while possible, seems an odd choice and it feels like they're setting this character up as a villain, with the red glow and such that's described. If this is instead a clone of rogue, made by mister sinister (perhaps with the help of emma frost given the stylistic hair) then it would line up with it being purely a lore drop rather than a new character teaser (although if my theory is right, we could get a new rogue legendary skin of the clone)

3. The bookshelf: taking all this information in, i think it makes sense why not just that character is shown, but also two are teased on the bookshelf, that being a dinosaur plushie and cyclops' glasses. It would be odd if the final teaser of the season was showing off 3 entire characters all at the same time rather than the usual two, and it fits the previous season wherein the characters are teased by visual only, and the text makes no mention of them just as with the current season.

I may be wrong about this of course, and it really could be captain marvel, or maybe even a different version of rogue, but i think my reasoning makes sense as to why it would be a lore teaser rather than a new character teaser, and it would add up why three characters seem like theyre being teased all at once rather than 2 like normal. Unless of course next season is a 3 hero season, in which case ill gladly be incorrect. Of course though, devil dinosaur was also shown at the end of last season as well, except he was a part of deadpool's animal kingdom, however i feel this one is more obvious as the plush is sitting near the very clearly teased cyclops

iron fist shenlong champion first appeared in a gallery card in season 4 of marvel rivals alongside other champions of immortal beast, Angela, storm, and wolverine. All the skins mentioned were released with accurate designs, epic rarity, and an mvp animation except for the poster boy of it all (Lin lie) the current iron fist and champion of shou Lou. it was the most anticipated skin for not just iron fist mains but people who liked the theme of it as well even having popular YouTuber and leak sources asking where the hell is it at??. 3 months later we finally got some news about it via X0X leak on Twitter saying "the missing son returns home🐲" we all new what that meant and everyone who knew was excited to finally see and buy the skin, but with a 2nd leak to come out to everyone's horror we found out it not only looked Nothing like the art in a bad way, it was a blue rarity and the most disappointing part it didn't even come with a mvp animation. Netease had 3 full months to work on and properly release the poster boy of the entire theme just for it to release purple epic (after frustration complaints from the fans) and have no mvp animation. this skin currently sits at the least worn costume from iron fist, I hope they either rework it or just take it out of the game in general. this was the most disappointing cosmetic treatment in marvel rivals history.

I'm genuinely trying as much as I can every match, but I've lost like 6 competitive matches in a row, I can barely win any. and it's not like I'm bad either, I'm getting svp every other match and I'm trying to add as much value to the team as possible, but it still feels impossible to win. does anyone else have this issue?

my last favorite bp was s2. the theme for 3 was PERFECT. it fit the season well and basically every skin in the bp was on theme it was great i’m just not a fan of the phoenix of symbiote skins lol but i loved it for following a theme yk? after s3 it kind of all went downhill and i really didnt like it at all. i know someones gonna say “you’re complaining about something you don’t have to buy” yea but i’m complaining because i WANT to want to buy it! i literally only got the s4 bp for lunas EMOTE not even the skin, the s5 bp for wandas legendary and the s6 bp for invis’ legendary. if those things weren’t in those bps i more than likely wouldnt have gotten them. i didn’t really care for any skin in the s3 bp but i couldn’t pass up having the phoenix and symbiote themed skins yk? i thought it was cool. so I’m really glad,even if I’m not sure how it fits into the current season (i dont keep up with season themes or lore anymore lmao), that theres a more clear esu theme to this seasons bp!
