RATE THE COSTUMES: Marvel Rivals PART 1

[@rotciv557]

Reviewing the MVP animations is essential too, since they are tied to the special outfits. Some of them might change your mind on the outfits even.

[@lordqwertythepyromancer3458]

Agreed!!!!

[@ayzekpie9432]

I mean, it's already a long video, it's good that he looked at some part of the MVP.

[@samuelmartin8775]

Man giving Wolverine a Van Hellsing skin has to be one of the best actor references ive ever seen

[@tanethemage4350]

Hilariously, Peni isn't the "Dva" of the game, But Bruce Banner is. You spawn as Bruce in "Baby Dva" form and get Hulk as a main form. He uh.... even says "I'm Hulking Out" when he transforms into Hulk Banner, then goes full "HULK SMASH" For his ultimate, with a secondary ult for Grabbing someone Command Grab style and beats the s**t out of the person he grabs. There's even an achievement for doing it to Loki.

[@Cosmic_Bald-e]

Yeah, hulk is the Dva but gameplay is more leaning to Winston

[@bear576]

How does this guy know so much about ... everything? History, science, and now comics. Mind like a steel trap.

[@Psycorde]

You'd be surprised by what can be achieved when you don't spend all your free time gooning

[@Neyenn]

Also, when you go to the "LORE" part, every character has their signature next to the name. Like if it was an autograph. Its fantastic, some of them are in foreign letters, other are in good handwriting, but its super immersive.

[@Caminski0417]

The “Hellfire Gala” is a literal marvel fashion show. I hope more characters get their gala looks because that one was amazing.

[@BobTheism]

Squirrel Girl actually has dialogue in game referencing babysitting for Luke Cage. You'll start a game and in the spawn room Doreen will be like "man, this almost as stressful as when I was Luke Cage's nanny"! There's actually tons and tons of references in the dialogue; Hulk and Strange will talk about being Defenders together, Star-Lord will ask Luna Snow if she knows Dazzler, Spider-Man will mention Morbius... I don't know who's writing for the characters but they've done their research.

[@tristancampbell4941]

Ok, Maximilian Dood. Time to get the cultured perspective 😂

[@b.e.z6831]

Huh?

[@BulletSponge71436]

@@b.e.z6831 Maximilian Dood is a youtuber.

He loves Space Knight Venom so he got that cultured take lol

[@giosbizarreart9048]

@@b.e.z6831 max’s rate the costume for this game was pretty lame I heard 😂

[@morenozainoplays]

One thing about this Psylocke, she is from Feudal Japan and existed in that timeline, not in the standard X-Men one. She was taken from her timeline and put in the Collector's collection and then escaped with the help of Jeff and Mantis. In game she doesn't recognize many of the heroes except for Wolverine, Hulk and Venom I believe.

[@Argyle117]

It’s so sad that Benny passed away before this game came out, I know he would’ve loved it so much.

[@rickireymarcano2904]

He was able to play beta with his friends though.

[@maexslg-at]

The in-lore reason for Punisher being so massive is because he took the Super Sodlier Serum and is around the same age as Widow which is like 140 or smth?

[@lazypizzaship8911]

"The Thing, The Torch, Woman" I almost spat out my drink EDIT: Spelling

[@daiyuren8747]

We gotta do the MVP's next

[@SoulOfFenrir]

Blade is in development so probably at the end of this season with the Dracula theme and all.

[@endyrodriguez4654]

He in the lore is currently captured by Dracula so most likely at the end of the season he is gonna be freed

[@joshbrosh6626]

He's mostlikely coming after Johny storm and the thing

[@dylandreisbach1986]

I’m guessing they didn’t make anti-venoms face black due to gameplay reasons. Venom has big white eyes to make it clear where his head is for headshots. Making it only black and white could have made it harder to tell during gameplay. Might not be the reason, but you have to remember the costumes also have to be good for gameplay as well. Maybe people complained during play testing the anti venom skin was almost impossible to get headshots and they changed it. Just something to think about.

[@phoenixcook1148]

To me, Wolverine is just one big dragon ball reference. He literally goes super saiyan. HE even has the shoulder pads and boots like vegita!

[@hidefreek6905]

Pani Parker has Evangelion lead characters as her classmates lol.

[@dorktriogamer2865]

Dude she's literally shinji

[@1wayroad935]

The art direction of this game is fantastic. They are going to make mad bank with all the skins.

[@ovelhadogelo]

The game already has great character designs - or at least a lot of creativity with it - and an enjoyable gameplay, also some characters are extra caked up. Then we have Invisible girl.. and I think we don't need Overwatch Corn anymore. I hope you eventually react to the MvP Screens, they tend to sell the skins by themselves.

[@ovelhadogelo]

Edit: You did for some, also skipped one of Squirrel Girl's skin.

[@Neyenn]

BTW. Ivory Breeze Storm and Jovial Star are both free skins, unlocked after certain achievements

[@gaara_of_the_desert1118]

Actually Peni plays nothing like Dva, Hulk is the closest character and only in the sense that he "gets out of his suit" when he dies.

[@maexslg-at]

Please see the MVPs too!

[@PandamoniumBruu]

yooooo... you don't know about Hellfire Gala? it was that big (annual?) event made only to make every character on Marvel assist a gala and make desings for that lol

[@NurglePudge-e6c]

Wish you would react to both the costume and all the MVPs. Some are really good.

[@Neyenn]

19:00 That is a free skin btw. Is the "max prize" on the event of this season. I really like that the skin is free tbh. Is not so much of a recolor is genuine new skin. Basic, but a new skin totally free.

[@rexsalama]

Storm even has J I G G L E in her intro video. Also, Rocket is voiced by Nolan North, which is why we might not get Deadpool in Rivals.

[@verdurite]

Steve Blum voices both Wolverine and another character. So it's not impossible

[@no.1spidey-fan182]

Deadpool was Datamined so he's on his way😤🔥....eventually💀

[@Rianoria]

This video is great, full of jokes knowledge and meme's with a hint of gooning. Perfection!

[@PandamoniumBruu]

"I'm not a fan of the black" - Jack circa 2025 (30:30)

[@yeahbutwhy8788]

The way he pauses before saying the black took me out lmao

[@bonehead7711]

man, you GOTTA check out Storm's punk mvp edit: Peni is not the Dva of the game, style wise yes, but gameplay wise it's hulk.

[@Tom-gp2uo]

I need part 2 asap lol

[@locus-studio]

in marvel hereoes even if you lost, you wont feel as bad because it felt so cool to play a character you like. so far thats the experience for me.

[@hollhoz7661]

0:27 Space station 13? Half-life 1? Fall of the Cyberthron? and BRC???? My man has 10\10 gaming taste

[@Ratere1]

i love that u understand pretty much every refernce and also explains that to us. AS always, awesome video with a lot of good stuf to know from you

[@im2fast4u14]

Nice reaction. Really nice that you have so much comic knowledge.

[@chilliicecream5456]

It took me a while to warm up to Wolverine’s design, until I realised that it’s basically the perfect cross between Lone-Wolf Logan and the full time X-Man Logan. The fact that his berserker rage gives him his classic hairstyle is just *chef’s kiss*

[@senshi_dev_art]

47:26 Actually (no, i don't mean to sound smart, i just remember seeing this) Peni is around the age of 17 and 18, meaning roughly the same age as Peter is when he first starts being Spider-man, so she's late teens and early adulthood, the reason she looks younger than that is.......she's an anime/manga character, that's the entire reason and infact she looks older in this game than in all the other media she's appeared in, most likely because this version of her is inf act much older as is most if not all Rivals version

[@dorktriogamer2865]

Where do you see that? I assumed she was the same age as her comic book counterpart of 14/15

[@senshi_dev_art]

@dorktriogamer2865 all versions in Marvel Rivals are older versions from different parallel universes, that much as been stated by the lore of each universe they cone from, in terms of the comic book i am unsure because I also heard it depends on translation because she's still in high-school I believe in her main comics

[@GaloKaineRey]

Not only do you need to check out the MVP Animations of each hero, you absolutely need to check the absolute Cursed Mods with it like Punisher Big Smoke and CJ Winter Soldier... Edit: You need to hear character dialogues if ever, because your point on Squirrel Girl with a thing with Wolverine is one of her voicelines...

[@SirJeal]

I never played either Overwatch. I never had a desire to do so... but doing the same thing with already established characters (Marvel in this case) that people may already like/love, and you might just get them to play. (Like me. Been loving the game.)

[@RogueHippie13]

7:20 Somebody probably told you already, but Blade's been datamined. The game's story has him currently imprisoned by Dracula, so speculation is that he will get freed at the end of Season 1 and be one of the 2 characters added in Season 2. If that's right, you're looking at about 3-4.5 months

[@Meamork]

Its worth mentioning that a lot of these costume designs are intended to be alternate timeline versions of the same people. Hence why they don't necessarily match up to their 616 versions.

[@Neyenn]

The designs are clearly inspired on the 90's comic version for pretty much every character. Is fantastic. Those were the peak times of the comics too, imo. The most dark and intense stories

[@saltylemon4436]

They'll add Blade when they add Morbius, I'm betting they'll be in the same update.

[@Neyenn]

This video was so interesting, lmao. Way more than I thought I first. This was really fun.

[@brenden6734]

Shame he wasn't on PlayStation to see the Scarlet Spider suit

[@fabioherrera859]

Same goes for Penny's Venom skin 😅

[@shadysam8879]

0:45 I'd like to add Benny's (RIP) good friend Sal from ComicPop to that list. The boys (and Tiff) over there have been doing great comic videos for a decade now.

[@rui1517]

27:57 Nah, the hair's fine. This outfit would look better if she had regular glasses instead of shades.

[@bmaster5324]

you gotta to the mvp animations too, they are insane

[@EpiKnightz]

Downloading is via Launcher/Steam download, while compiling shader require opening the game to process the data/shader code combine with your specific GPU to calculate. It's not possible to do them in background. Maybe if the downloading is done ingame then the shader compiling can be next in a sequence but they mostly can't be done in parallel. For the why this need to be done: Pre-compiling shaders help improving performance ingame. But since there are so many kind of GPUs out there, it needs to be done per your specific machine configuration, rather than by the dev's machine.

[@raphaeldossantos2951]

Smoll Wolverine based

[@KlementtM]

For anyone curious/confused about Psylocke's "multiple personalities", I highly recommend "Psylocke: Marvel's Mind-Swap Mistake" by Sir_Superhero

[@jamcalx]

I was going to recommend the same thing!

[@hollhoz7661]

Oh, finally a new max vide..... WAIT A MINUTE!

[@hollhoz7661]

anyway,love your videos man,keep it up

[@Psycorde]

"Thing, Torch... Woman? Man." - that was funny to me for some reason, very much so

[@LucasDiaz-q7t]

Bro I’m addicted to this game

[@nooblangpoo]

Venom has a beta skin that is just Cyan colored, just like the MVC1 palette.

[@honorofthesamurai]

TFOC on the desktop made me really happy

[@KingKuron_]

I really don't understand the point about Spider-Man's base suit, it does not look over-designed at all?

[@Psycorde]

Nah, it looks too busy

[@sarcasticsage984]

21:15 "it is soo cool it is perfect" 7/10

[@timconner7693]

I gotta disagree with our guy here, the 1st Starlord is more representative of his first comic appearance back in the 70's. The one with the red jacket is a nod to the red duster he wore in the 1st movie.

[@Hyp333R]

Blade is comming to the game supposedly as a launch character for Season 2, so in 3 months.

[@no.1spidey-fan182]

18:39 I really hope they add the other suits for when characters were given the power cosmic. I NEED Cosmic Spider-Man in this games artstyle AND Iron GOD😤🔥

As a heads up, to my knowledge, the people referred to as "Gypsy" prefer Romani. Gypsy is more of a disparaging description of the people. Great video!

[@Neyenn]

In my country, in spanish they are called "Gitanos".

[@no.1spidey-fan182]

Fall of Cybertron is a goated game, i see you Jack

[@TheChillzoneX]

It is. I'm working on a devastation video. After that will be Cybertron

[@Misor_bito]

Se que Rivals le a dado su toque a los personajes, por lo que es alfo raro al principio, aunque no se niega que se ven bien, además algunos recolores hacen referencia a algun comic, y eso me gusta. También hay algo de historia, pero pocos leen eso, si tienes curiosidad en la galería hay algunas cosas por desbloquear
