5:26 "Groot cant ride any character, he has to ride Groot" :)))

[@ThePainman88]

I think you meant to say "I am groot I am Groot, I aaaam Groooot."

[@TopNotchOtter]

I did some digging on their website and they also have a picture of some of the other characters using abilities. Punisher has a giant turret which he can place down and shoot from, Scarlet Witch can throw red orbs it looks like, Storm can shoot a straight beam of lightning, and Magneto has a large shield he can hold in front of himself. Just thought I would mention this in case anyone wanted some extra tidbits, since they didn't reveal crazy amounts.

[@theoutlawking9123]

Wait seriously, I went to the site and didn't see anything, what's their URL?

[@silverwolf340]

I couldn’t find that either

[@theoutlawking9123]

@@silverwolf340 I Actually found it, it's one of the main group pictures, Frank is in the foreground behind a Turret/Gun Placement that has a big Skull shield around it and Storm is right at the front throwing a lightning bolt. The picture is really small though on phones, for clarity, I recommend downloading it then zooming in to see them clearly.

[@evzy7615]

I agree it really was, hopefully it goes well

[@mattmaas5790]

I'm so excited

[@PhantoRoyce]

I bet Hulk is gonna work just like DVA where he takes a ton of damage and you have to run around as Banner until it recharges

[@Dad......]

Or it could be the opposite of Dva. You start as Banner, with a meter that slowly rises, but if you take damage it rises faster. It would create a dynamic where you're trying to avoid shooting Banner, to keep him from Hulking out, much like not killing dva to keep her tiny as long as possible.

[@The_Killah29]

I think this one is Amadeus Cho, not Bruce Banner

[@illuminatedstonepersonisp6869]

@@The_Killah29yeah he seems to have Amadeus’s gun at least

[@Jvmpii]

It’s hard not to relate some of the things in this game to overwatch but I dont necessarily think that’s a bad thing. The depth of available characters is what makes me excited for this game

[@Capnsb]

To your point of the teamups and Namor not having a C Ironman didn't have one either when he got boosted by Hulk. I like the thought of it this way because it will add more of a decision making element to player comps

[@Raelyn]

My guess is that Hulk's ultimate is much like Yagorath's ult in Paladin's. Popping it gains you a big new health pool and you slowly begin to execute a single enemy. If the enemies can burst through your health pool before you kill that one enemy, they can save him. If not, you get the kill.

[@midasnightmare9766]

Would be funny if the animation is a sped up version of Loki and hulk fight where he's slamming u left and right slowly ramping up faster

[@Galaxyverse9]

I Was thinking it could be that too but maybe it's a buff during/after the ult finishes, cause there's a 10 second timer. Which I highly doubt the ult would take 10 seconds to kill even if it was a tank. Unless the dmg ramped up as time went on. But 10 secs seems way too long to be useful.

[@GabeWatchesAnime]

Hmm never expected anyone to reference Paladins here!! Good to know there are people out there that plays Paladins as well. Loki's Illusions remind me of Ying.

[@anubis4032]

[@krisskrosssss]

I don't see a cooldown for Hulk's ability to leap. That's insanely broken lol. As a Winston main I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to playing him. I can finally abuse backline whenever I want.

[@feedzuh]

it could always be dev footage, and the leap cooldown is added later on.

[@rockerknight25]

A weird side effect of this game will be learning new emotional reactions for characters. For instance, I love Spider-Man. Whenever I see him pop up I get a bunch of good feelings. But if in this game he's an annoying little bug who just stunlocks you forever and is only played by Yasuo players, it's gonna give me a new emotional reaction to him. Something to think about.

[@Adamferreiraboston]

I'm laughing at the idea of your childhood heros making people say the want to kill themselves

[@kidkodex7696]

i mean spiderman from the villian perspective is annoying lol.

[@justinwaller9665]

Bro you think his villains doesn't wonna rip him apart ofc you'll hate spider man unless he's bad his power alone in a game screams stuns slows poison dmg all the annoying gimmicks 😂😂

[@shieldgenerator7]

hmmm... good point

Spider-Man's ult looks kinda like the Web Blossom suit power from Insomniac's Spider-Man 1

[@Januaryof28]

Tuning in hoping this fills the void Overwatch 1 left 🙏🏿 looking forward to your content

[@ReginaldSkulls]

I have never been so excited and so worried about a game before. I loved OW1, and while 2 sucks, this looks perfect to me. They just need to keep balance and noneyization good. And please give me Carnage!

Spider-man out here doing the shoryuken

[@DefMM123]

So hyped for this game

[@archrequiem5251]

when magik uses her teleport dash, you can see that her LMB changes into the huge aoe slash so thankfully the aoe slash cant be used more than once per tp dash

[@AzureRoxe]

There's no way that IronMan moves that rigidly when in that same moment we see how fluidly both Peri and Spiderman move around with their own mobility skills.

[@JoheBanana]

Its so strange everyone feels like they could easily clear a whole team but maybe its just me 😅

[@Hung_Nguyen_90]

Just like OverWatch. Everyone are OP

[@lukeperkins5401]

Man I feel the exact opposite as you, Black Panther and his psuedo Genji playstyle along with Majik who looks like she could play a lot like Brigette with the encouragment to hit opponents to build shield has me super pumped!

[@MrWhimzy]

Its a crime that Spider-man doesn't seem capable of sticking to the walls.

[@MilanLS7]

I am so excited for Magik, that swing is HUGE

[@itsGcEdit]

11:00 I find it funny that it‘s Loki out of all people getting beaten up. Just like in the movie😂

[@pagerrager]

8:51 the rocket ability is enhanced by gamma radiation from hulk, indicated by the green. so hulk's ability doesn't just make that one ability gamma infused, it seems to infuse him over a period of time

[@MartinGrendele]

Doctor strange as tank is really interesting he normally takes a “controller” role

[@feedzuh]

honestly it fits, tank role isn't just to be a sponge for enemy attacks, they're supposed to create space for allies to push in with.

[@randomer8119]

SAW THE TWITTER THREAD AND LEAD ME HEREEEEE

[@ddfields6534]

I'm cool with a overwatch style gameplay, but I would really like to see some character development as far as abilities and upgrades. Hopefully they can implement that. Either way I'm here for it

[@r.e.pajigal]

It's so interesting to see the premiere characters and how their roles differ from Marvel's mobile MOBA. Rocket's a DPS in Super Wars, while he's a Support here.

[@matthewbrears2129]

Not sure about team up abilities - surely it would mean that if you don’t pick a hero that teams up with someone on your team, you’re basically throwing by having an ability that you can’t use?

[@shieldgenerator7]

yeah this is my concern about them too

[@debby2422]

Bring a friend ig

[@travon4924]

No since the Team up ability is unique, meaning if you don’t do it, and with a specific teammate. Another move will happen instead of the expected one. But if your able to trigger a team up, the teammates ability is improved/upgraded into something more effective. As shown with hulk and Ironman 😅

[@ThisMightBeAnAccount]

1:09 and 32:46 There are more characters that we didn’t get gameplay of, but abilities can be deciphered: Storm, Magneto, Scarlet Witch, Punisher, Mantis, and Star lord. Star lord is the only one exclusively appearing in 32:46, with no other gameplay or screenshots.

[@ThisMightBeAnAccount]

32:42 Galacta, Galactus’s daughter, looks like the loot box opening screen…

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I hope howard the duck is a playable character in this game man

[@faulty7337]

One thing I think you may have gotten wrong about Luna snow is her shift ability, You thought it was just a team buff but you can see her weapon icon change from the healing weapon with 30 ammo to a dagger with infinite ammo but seemingly only for 6 seconds. I'm guessing her normal primary fire doesn't effect enemy's and her shift primary fire does but doesn't help ally's so you need to use it sparingly.

[@belakthrillby]

He lives!!

[@LordHollow]

That Spidey shield is, definitely from the alt. It activates right as he starts his alt. This game looks fun.

[@likelyhunterclips]

it seems to me that namor does get dragged down as he falls significantly faster when caught in it, and while i agree the damage came from the left click i believe the leap is what flattens him on the ground leaving him defenseless for the 3 attacks that we see, so while it doesnt directly deal damage it allows you to do 3 whole attacks which is quite a bit of indirect damage

[@dandanner3111]

Loki seems to fit a character play style I gravitate towards in other games... slippery support (Druid in WoW, Bonesaw in SWtOR, and Crono in GW2)

[@juanbisonosuero3650]

Enzo happy for seen penny and magic

[@hatterpatter2285]

In that spiderman clip fighting loki/black panther i dont think that was his E ability since he actually does it twice, i believe his main attacks are melee but if you hold right click you gain a crosshair and can shoot webs, you can even see the "mag" size of his webs in the ultimate clip

[@Catzster]

I feel like a better potential comparison for the Hulk would be the IMP from Plants VS Zombies Garden Warfare 2 where you have high damage but weaker first form but when you unlock the mech which takes time to get but does very high damage and gets high health (the only difference would be Hulks agility or how frequently you can turn into the Hulk)

[@OMCreateable]

if this does everything right.... it might be a big game. they better be very safe and humble on this release.

[@SkoposPlatinum]

12:45 hulks leap does drag Namor down it also sticks him to the ground idk if it does damage or not but it definitely does drag him down

[@gamist8166]

3rd person turns me off normally but iron mans tracking beam makes me hopeful for mechanical skill to shine

[@StormtrooperMr12]

It looks good, only thing i'm worried about is that they want to make "too much at once". Paladins, but with destruction of enviroment and combo attacks with Teammates could be "too much" and make other parts of the game feel unfinished. I hope they do it right, because it sounds like an awesome game, but it just seems a bit unrealistic if u look at the struggles that other team shooters had with less "impactfull mechanics" (destroying the map and Combo attacks mainly)

[@torionowashington7290]

This looks interesting…. I’d play it

[@jonmartinez3482]

Did not expect namor to be a heimer style character lol

[@marcusbullock2753]

Reaper Spider-Man sounds crazy

[@DaLing731]

Iron man and black panther look so fun I can’t wait

[@Dad......]

Looks like the Stance Switch for Ironman slows his mobility. Much like Pharah's ultimate freezing her in place for balance.

[@bcashworld7971]

Game seems like a hybrid of Overwatch 1 & Smite. I'm here for it.

[@Tabnito]

If I was netease Id make this game to be the most (as much as others) consumer friendly and continue to milk the other mobile games. I like battlepasses and skins, even if they cost a lot (I wont be buying them) I just think Netease has a unique situation where theu can make this game popular and consumer friendly while mainting their practices in their mobile games.

[@WarMachinne]

If it’s anything like the comics, the beam ability from Iron Mans chest is likely called the Unibeam, just fyi.

[@marcusbullock2753]

Game play wise I want to try Namor Dr strange and Magic. They seem the coolest so far I hope Storm and Star lord is cool as well. And based on the image of magneto he seems fun to.

[@itslumpia]

Loki's decoys could work like Ying from Paladins which is a healing turret but also a TP point. Excited to play him.

[@Dad......]

The short range of Magik's portal ability makes me think it's primary use will be passing through walls.

[@tomswarder4313]

they shouldve done another avengers type game fr, without the god awful store, live service and loot mechanics and with an actually interesting and unique rpg system with actually good mission design and fluid combat

[@HeviTank]

Seems magik basic attack area of effect increase after each teleport (her basic attack icon changes after the teleport then changes back after use)

[@Decaence]

just noticing that the c and e button on iron man and hulk have the same icon so maybe team moves are just on different buttons for different characters and some just have none looking at the video the icon glows yellow when hulk uses his C and iron mans glows yellow when he uses his E and the icon for snow is unique so maybe ironman and hulk and boost each other and only snow can boost namor

[@cristhianmontoya6648]

Was hoping to see comic theme effects. And a bit pf more particles. The game looks clean but a bit dull. Maybe its just me

[@DeaBlazze]

I can't wait to see what they do with Deadpool and wolverine

[@robloxstuffs8919]

Hulk = D.va Peni Parker = Winston/Wrecking Ball Iron Man = Pharah Loki = Echo Spider Man = Reaper Docter Strange = Reinhardt

[@Zxykary]

The Locked Team-Up Abilities is going to be the design choice that kills this Game. It's like watching a train crash in slow-motion, so wild they think this would work in a MOBA where Players are already bad at coordinating to begin with.

Idea of Scarlet witch abilities: Skills: Marvel Rivals Passive: after being out of combat for a while, it heals, if it is in the alternative dimension the healing is doubled. E/F: enter/exit the alternative dimension of the same map, becoming invulnerable to any damage, being able to walk wherever you want, but you cannot see where the enemies are. Shift: launches a spell that, when it hits an enemy, goes towards the sorceress, without being able to use any skills C: Let an ally enter the alternate dimension Primary Fire: Launches a projectile that deals area damage Secondary Fire: Channels a beam of magic that increases as it deals damage Ultimate: Channels and releases all your power, brainwashing all enemies in the area, resetting their ultimates and silencing them.

Hulk is literally just Ramattra, not dva

[@shieldgenerator7]

in what way

[@epicevanhogan6489]

Why is everybody calling hulk Dva He’s way more Winston Or ram Winston because he starts of as a long range smart scientist but then ulting gives him more health makes him close range and most importantly angry just like monkeys ult Ram because he can literally swap forms from a long range evil robot to a short range evil robot with giant hulk arms
