Marvel Rivals Cyclops

[@gabrielarocena3074]

To be honest, Cyclops should move similar to Captain America as the comics usually depict him as very nimble and athletic in fights, and he constantly bounces his concussive optic blast around walls and enemies. Maybe have him get a sprint and jump similar to Cap, but have his pushback skill be the only thing he can cast after jumping

[@soomufudude9938]

I really like this new video idea, seems like you put a good deal of love into the hero idea and I’m all for it. What over characters would you plan on making ideas for if you continue this?

[@NotFortheMoonay]

There are combo characters, but they are focused usually on assassinations such as Spider-Man combos and Black Panther. There are other combos for other characters, but mostly in the concept of having some sort of ability off cooldown for situations like Cap or Thor. The combo centric thing you are discussing is actually a lot like Groot, as he does want to cancel his melees into his primary fires with his walls, but having Cyclops do the same would be sick.

[@FlareIsGone]

Yeah Groot is 100% it I think you're right

[@Epzilon12]

As long as he says "Behold!" when he ults, we're gaming

[@logicaltips4107]

"BEHOLD, OPTIC BLAST!" "UH OH! UH OH! JUSTIN WOOOOONG, OOH MY GOD! OOOH MY GOD!"

[@goldjaw]

6:46 This is the first page I think of whenever I think of adding Cyclops to the game. He pushed a sentinel over a football fields worth, I feel it could be a massive knock back effect.

[@etro0972]

the 7:24 GHHHHUUEEAAAAAAAAAA is so funny man

[@thesnake4015]

On one hand I beg you to do more, because I've never seen concepts that go in depth like yours; On the other hand I'd like to do some constructive criticism and saying that only 1 ability aside from the primary and alt fires is too little, if I may suggest, a basic uppercut (kinda like the one spiderman has) to combo with his passive or an active buff area around himself that gives you and nearby allies shield (like a pocket version of Cap's Ult so they both have an "inspiring leader" ability)

[@Ic3Man_Gaming]

It would be really funny if they straight up gave him a shoryuken. The "sure you can", if you will. They could put in his lore that he learned the move from a wandering fighter in a tournament.

[@szymonlewandowski9690]

wait, I thought the "Punch Dimension" was the joke name that fans gave it

[@FlareIsGone]

it has an official name I think but using it for a passive all about melee and calling it punch dimension goes hard

[@thatguy779]

I think it'd be cool to see him designed as sort of a ranged anti-zoner where his optic blasts can cancel or deflect incoming projectiles and/or spacing control by letting him push ppl with a weaker non-damage oriented blast

[@FlareIsGone]

I think this game has the potential to have character fill crazy niches. There is no wolverine in ow at all, so tanks just get to go wild (until they buff reaper) but in rivals tanks have checks... now we just need more support checks

[@thatguy779]

@ I vote Morlun lol

[@Ic3Man_Gaming]

Okay, here is my alternate pitch because I selfishly want cyclops to be a vanguard and I think it would be really good for the game if he was. We need more big premier heroes in the vanguard slot. Cyclops is an aura & zoning brawl tank: First his passive since I think it is important to show why he is a vangard: "To Me" Cyclops emits an aura around him that gives (im not good with numbers so idk what would be too broken so lets just say) 10% damage mitigation to allies in a 5-10 meter radius. Mutant allies receive a percentage (idk like 5%) more. Primary fire: "optic blast" a hitscan tracking beam that damage ramps over .5 seconds that ends with a concussive punch that hits in a small AOE and does slight knock back (im thinking a small shove or enough to stop the momentum of a dive character if timed correctly). I'm imagining this being similar in functionality to the charge rifle in Titanfall or apex. The final hit will also displace cyclops if fired in a 2-3 meter range around him (he can use this ability to rocket jump essentially). This cannot headshot. Secondary fire: "focusing beam" Camera zooms closer over his shoulder and the primary fire becomes a continuous damage beam that gains the ability to be bounced off surfaces once but loses the AOE and knockback capabilities. Ability 1 (E): "Back Off" Cyclops shoots a low damage beam at the floor infront of him hitting all enemies in a 5 meter cube infront of him knocking them back 5 meters and moving himself back 5 meters. Ability 2 (shift): "Optic Dash" a targeted ability (think mr fantastics e ability) where cyclops fires an optic beam that launches him to a teammate negating damage dealt to them for .5 seconds and temporarily over charging his passive to give more damage mitigation. Cyclops will also form his arms in the shape of an X when blocking the damage since all the xmen in this game have abilites that form an X. Ultimate: "Whatever the Cost" Cyclops removes his visor and blasts out a lane wide low(er) damage beam that displaces enemies 20 meters back. My thought with this ability is it won't kill enemies in a support ult BUT would have the ability to push people out of the support ult as a set up for a team fight. Extra bits and playstyle: I really wanted to create another captain america style character (my favorite in the game) that is just a menace to deal with despite not having a bunch of health or a large team damage blocking shield. I also think it is fun having both of these characters fill similar roles like this since they are very similar in character but are often opposed to each other due to circumstances. I also reaaaaaally like your melee combo idea so i am stealing it for my concept as well. I am imagining a 4 hit melee combo that can be canceled into his get off me ability to kill squishy targets. I also really wanted the rocket jump in the game for giving him some needed vertical mobility and thought it would be cool to combo the rocket jump into his shift to cover a crazy amount of distance.

[@b0xedsprite89]

I never thought of going this in depth with it for custom characters! Obviously, you should specify some things but I never thought of doing the exact speeds and cooldowns.

[@ExoticZah]

Thank you for making this, everyone knows me as the Cyclops guy lol

[@showcase0525]

I would say that primary fire knocks back after a small build up of continous fire on them. Say .75 seconds. The way you worded it, they will be knocked back every damage tick, which is alot more broken than you think.

[@FlareIsGone]

No, the way I have it is that it's a 30m line where if they're at 30m, the tip they take the knockback

[@showcase0525]

@@FlareIsGone Ah makes sense that way. I get it. Sweet spot mechanics are nice.

[@navidimtiaz2838]

Namor technically was an X-men, specially under Summers' leadership. Magik was also on the team. They will defo add Emma Frost and Jean Grey at different times, so there will be a lot of X-Men eventually

[@Shiftshade13324]

I'm making a Thanos concept as of now and seeing you post this has only fueled my drive to finish it

[@Sp4c3gl1d3r]

can we be expecting more marvel rivals content…? i really like listening to your power points :D

[@redsun7223]

I want him to be a vanguard but he's definitely going to be a duelist

[@ultrakid5306]

What?

[@redsun7223]

@ I want him to be a tank but I have a feeling that the devs will make him into a dps

[@johndwyer1445]

More of these 🙏 vision next maybe, I'd want him to have a free fly mode that lets you phase through everything, like Groot walls or buildings, and heal your allies if you move through them

[@neoramaredzone8544]

I think it would be cool if his primary fire had infinite range but a limited range on the knockback and high damage fall off after 30 meters.

[@FlareIsGone]

I think if his primary pushed back without the tip requirement it would be so oppressive

[@electrolyteblend]

You should put his meter recharge as a passive trait since every ability uses it. And then his on fire shouldn't have a cool down it just takes up meter and reset that 2 second cool down before meter can recharge. Same for his movement ability no cool down but you need to wait the two seconds for your meter to recharge

[@coleirimi9613]

Love this series, I was thinking about this with anime characters as if they made an anime game

[@Eifuh]

Cyclops will be herald of Marvel 4

[@NotFortheMoonay]

This was great! If you have more ideas would love to hear more in the future.

[@mauriciorodriguez8313]

I would give him an e ability that works like a storm buff, it would only last a bit, can be movespeed and damage or just one of them. Since he is a leader and all that. But i dont know if it could synergize well with the rest of your kit

[@electrolyteblend]

9:33 what what about magik in psylock? Also movement speed increase only when moving towards the ultimate location is pretty restrictive it would be better if it was just a movement speed buff

[@morganhelms80808]

Personally i think he should be a punch and beam combo character kinda like Spiderman since he is the best hand to hand fighter in the X men, and then he should have his normal continuous beam, a ricochet beam kinda like Storms team up with Thor, and he should have some kinda movement ability where he either does a super jump or slides around quickly using his beams and finally his ult should be him taking the glasses off and doing crazy damage like storm again

[@FlareIsGone]

misread your message. Yeah punch beam is cool as shit imo

[@debopambhattacharjee1749]

I want a lockjaw vanguard. Have him fire blasts with the fork on his head. Have pounce on people for cc. Have him be able to mass tp for his ult (ryze ult from lol). I want that good boy in the game.

[@gbong802]

I love this video idea a lot

[@danielv4793]

I think he can have a bouncing blast, great video

[@LettuceGod1]

I like the idea of giving him a meter for his abilities, but I have some comments on a couple of things. First of all, I don’t know how I feel about him needing to use his meter for his primary fire, as it could be too restrictive on his damage output, and he could have too much that he needs to use his meter for. Secondly, if ur going to tie his abilities to a meter, why give him cooldown times? Focus more on his meter management than on cooldown management. Why should an ability cost him meter and have a cooldown, when other characters just have a cooldown to worry about

[@Kajnake]

Push back on a primary invalidates melee characters quite badly. Not the combo centric like black panther, but the in your face ones like hulk and wolverine

[@FlareIsGone]

I worded it poorly I'm thinking, it's supposed to push on the exact tip at 30m

[@frozencowjuice2169]

Would love to see what you could come up with for Juggernaut. Really enjoyed this video, great work.

[@FlareIsGone]

I think Juggernaut could easily be the most straight forward design ever and thats perfect for his character

[@Luigi777888]

Do a PowerPoint on why Ultron is not a support.

[@guwap2615]

I think I would be really cool if his ultimate did double damage to structures and maybe shields, idk if that would be too crazy or not. Really cool video btw

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

Is the knockback on the tip of h the beam meant to be a balancing thing? Because I feel like that would make the character worse, playing at your max range would just mean shooting yourself out of range constantly. I think knockback on the beam on the whole thing EXCEPT the tip would keep the theming but not feel like a built in nerf to the character

[@sophieirisviel4100]

would the extra 5 seconds of damage in his ult be with him animation locked into it? or would it be a radiation field left behind (like how maximum pulse does it)?

[@FlareIsGone]

I'd imagine he stands still

[@WolfGeek64]

@@FlareIsGone It could be a recovery animation of him putting the mask back on.

[@rei-do-acre4551]

Can you do a custom hero (in this case villain) for carnage? he is one of my favourite characters and would be nice to see your input!

[@Spyger9]

Make Concussive Blast reset its cooldown if it gets a Final Blow.

[@canned3880]

You're inspiring me to make my reptil video

[@ExoticZah]

Since no one is going to say it, I will… To Me My X-Men!

[@optimuscrime1023]

PLEASE can u do a vid on hit-monkey and also can u do a series on redesigning heroes? Hawkeye is a good one for me imo

[@FlareIsGone]

Hawkeye should be the huntsman from tf2

[@optimuscrime1023]

@ nahhh that’s bad lmao- I personally think he’d be better as a kind of support-dps hybrid, also many of his moves should just be reanimated like his sword slash, and make it something else like explosive arrows

[@neoramaredzone8544]

He really doesn’t need a rework rather his numbers should change

[@fidelcahflow8429]

For Hawkeye they should remove his one shot and lean into his trick arrows

[@Maker0824]

God, I hate the ultimate and team up you made. A one shot ult without the charge up of Scarlet Witch is awful. The team up I have so many issues I don’t even want to get into it.

[@FlareIsGone]

I literally wrote after an animation, and it's body blocked by shields and heroes

[@BLOATEDNGOATED]

If he has the same dmg as Ironmans ability then he better not come to the game 🤷🏽‍♂️ that shit is annoying already

[@redsun7223]

Cyclops beams don't come from the "punch dimension" that's not cannon. He absorbs solar radiation like superman. Thats how his powers have always worked

[@FlareIsGone]

Bro they've explained the punch dimension multiple times, even America Chavez visited it once

[@redsun7223]

@@FlareIsGone Yes the punch dimension is real but Cyclops powers do not come from it. His powers are purely a form of energy manipulation just like his brothers. The idea that his powers stem from it come from a non cannon handbook. Love your vids btw
