MARVEL RIVALS IS INSANE... and so am I.

[@ShinKyuubi]

3 Fun facts about Squirrel Girl: 1) She was made as a direct contrast to the dark and gritty comics that were popular and more widespread around the time of her creation. 2) Because she's a Joke style character she's canonically beaten Marvel villains that normally take entire teams...we're talking Doctor Victor von Doom, Galactus...the guy who devours PLANETS for food, and Thanos...she has beaten them ALL by herself at one time or another with nothing but her, compared to other heroes, rather lackluster powers. Her powers which are a giant fluffy squirrel tail, claws, the ability to telepathically talk to command squirrels, low grade healing factor, and superhuman jumping ability as her powers in that regard are "The proportional speed and strength of a squirrel"....pretty much it's Spider-Man's schtick but a human sized squirrel instead of a human sized spider, also no her ears are NOT part of her body..the squirrel ears are a headband to lean into the squirrel thing. And finally 3) Canonically when she wants to hide her tail to appear normal and have a 'secret identity'....she stuffs it in her pants to make it look like she has a phat ass...yes that is actually something she does and she even mentions something along those lines in one of her comics. Also tying into number 2? She's beaten WOLVERINE in a fight before...someone with over a century more combat experience than her and considered one of the top hand to hand fighters in Marvel...up there with Iron Fist and Captain America.

[@pixavier9746]

Wait.... Do you mean.... It can look fatter than it already is? Dear God...

[@21gunn67]

Wow thanks for the info

[@aokaygamer8192]

She does not know Thanos does that yet and she is watching marvel right now so please change that

[@ShinKyuubi]

@@aokaygamer8192 I only did it cause you asked nice, but I'm not changing Galactus' thing since as far as the MCU is concerned as of right now he's a non-entity. Also I don't care about the movie event much, I'm talking the comic which is old by now, the comic event took place in 1991 and I was just barely 7 or 8 when that happened.

[@Iscatel_Minusov]

I read this a long time ago, but if I remember correctly, she didn't defeat Galactus, but became friends with him. And in some of the later comics, Doreen stepped out of the role of a comically invincible character.

[@Genesis29941]

Considering the meme with scarlet witch is "your bisexual" this completely fits

[@SenseofNoneYT]

The irony of "go back to Wakanda, man" remark while playing in the Wakanda map. Uh.... bro, I think Black Panther was thinking the other way around. That was *his* kingdom. 😂

This is his kingdom come

[@OhThatRobin]

WOAH 0:52!!! MrCreepyPasta?!?! I love that guy!! His voice and those stories kept me up all night *all the tiiime* in high school

[@ill_Hex]

Here's a few non-spoiler fun facts: From Vox Machina to Naruto, the voice cast is stacked with familiar voices. Squirrel Girl is iirc the strongest non-deity in the comics. She's also a more modern Jack Kirby creation (the guy responsible for like 80% of Marvel's identity). Psylocke is technically Japanese, but it's a little bit more complicated than that. Long-story short, for the longest time Betsy was a brit involuntarily doing yellow-face. The Punisher himself isn't racist, but his logo is used by those groups. His creator made a comic where Frank ripped his logo off of a cop's car and told them to look-up to Captain America instead (good advice since Frank's a serial killer). It's interesting that they went with Clint instead of Kate Bishop or Charli Ramsey. Pete over Miles I get, but you'd think they'd boost those characters more (no hate towards Clint though, every Hawkeye is underrated). I love Jeff, but I miss Gwenpool man. Their interactions together would've been so cute.

[@ceooflowrolls2081]

This Psylocke isn't Betsy, its Sai, so this version of her is Asian actually.

[@CatCloud46]

There are two psys most adaptions and modern comics choose wisely not to continue/adapt that plot line. Which I'm pretty sure this game did too

[@Dracobyte]

Also Persona games

[@Bakuganluver23]

@@ceooflowrolls2081 yeah, AND She's from an entirely DIFFERENT timeline, though she DOES have the enhanced Powers the original Psylocke gained from the body swap.

[@Ruzvian]

Gwenpool kinda OP tho, I wonder how they will translating her powers from comic to Marvel Rivals.

[@captaincritter6173]

Well, welcome to the club. Also, beware of ranking. Seriously you’ll be raging more there. You probably already tried anyway. 😂

[@AmericanIlluminati]

Nah, I rage more in casuals. At least in ranked, you can level past people who don’t understand roles, or map objectives. Getting outplayed by a sweat is heaven, compared to braindead teammates making things a million times harder for you.

[@kingcaesar3693]

Yeah, no. I actually find Ranked is far better. I've yet to meet a team who is selfish and refuses to heal me while I tank unlike QP where the healers all think they are DPS too.

Then you have that one braindead bot, who thinks its you sucking, defending the piss poor healer, meanwhile they’re standing 50 feet away firing hit scan auto-attacks.

It's really satisfying to land headshots as Squirrel Girl. As for my mains, Hulk is my Vanguard, Squirrel Girl's my Duelist, but I don't have a Strategist.

[@hedges1001]

Can recommend Loki he is great if you have trouble switching to heals from dogs since his damage with the illusions is super high

[@spiketheanimatronic1838]

Can recommend Mantis and Jeff, mantis has a self buff/heal and her sleep bomb to stop agressive platers plus her healing output is great. Jeff is pretty much all healing is only damage move is his left trigger and his right is healing water hose, he also has the ability to shoot out healing bubbles that can have multiple stacks, the ultimate is a meme but if you do it right you could use it to save your team from ultimates or kill the entire team.

[@FutureWarrior8k]

You could always go with the triangle faced monkey. He pairs good with Bucky and The Punisher.

On the one hand, it's been nice seeing some of my favorite characters getting more popular thanks to this game. On the other hand, I'm already starting to see some people saying they know the comics while directly misunderstanding and even contradicting them. It's really a double edged sword when your favorites get popular.

[@gundamforever6109]

Glad the dev made Squirrel Girl good looking. Her comic book version gets really ugly depending on the comic.

[@TheGohanSkywalker]

When I heard the music slipping in during the intro, I thought to myself "Wait, is that...?" Then I heard the lyrics kick in at 2:09. Reincarnation from TMS#FE. Based.

[@Twoswordsdrizzt]

Honestly wasn't expecting much when you chose Strange for the first round, but other than those portal blunders, which were totally understandable, that was a good match. Probably still a good idea to use simpler characters to learn the levels, though, unless you're also trying to learn a specific character.

Loved watching you play this. I’ve been trying to get good with Underoos but my PC is a bit too old to play him well. I’ve heard Legolas is good. Might pick him up as a secondary duelist. As for strategist, I’m thinking the Triangle Face Monkey would be good. I’ve always liked him. Speaking of, can’t wait for you to get to the GotG movies! For now tho, my primary duelist has been Bucky. Still trying to decide who my secondary should be if someone picks him. Maybe the Nut Slinger. She seems fun. As for Vanguard, wouldn’t mind dawning the Symbiote. Or going full on Gundam
