How to Switch Nightcrawler's Stance Every Time | Marvel Contest of Champions

[@nilesdave]

Thanks for shedding light on this. I've heard other KZbinrs kinda mention it, but I'm so glad you focused on it. This should help out lots of players in all game modes.

[@WaleedBabar]

This is really useful because NC will become map 5 mini-boss next month.

[@mr.redsgaminggauntlet1017]

nightcrawler isn't a robot

[@mr.redsgaminggauntlet1017]

commented on the wrong video lol

[@christopherrobin3763]

Fuck are you serious

[@jwhite0074]

Nice video. NC is my nemesis in war, definitely trying this out tomorrow when attack phase starts. Thanks for the upload

[@elmayimbe6704]

Great video, I been doing this for a while with UC unstoppable, I leraned it out of desperation when I did my first Lol Run , he dash back I fire a couple of punches when he was on unstoppable and he blocked most of the time when I dash back and fire a punch and unstoppable would ran out, never crossed my mind doing to NC, none of the less great tip.

[@jaredmendoza6877]

I know this is an old video but this video has also made me a better valkyrie player as I did not know the AI worked like this thank you for the video

[@d.ceptosaurus]

Most definitely a game changer - awesome video!!

[@christopherrobin3763]

Thanks man I've gotta find a NC to duel against to get good at this

[@MsEvol]

Great vid !!🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@danjuice1]

Dude great video!!

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

You are amazing. I hope you get so many more followers. (2.4k at post time)

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

11months later: 10K subsctibers for Idelest!!! 👍👍

[@cameronyoung1031]

Sick video super helpful!!!

[@kevinkline151]

Awesome tip, thanks!

[@arcteryxz]

On AW NC placed as defender in spot no.50 with Bane Buff.. how can I wait less the 10 sec for bushw NC ability triggered?

[@itsnotjiaching4968]

Wow. This actually is a thing. It works?! Damn! Thanks!

[@ArchShin]

This is the way kabam AI plays. There's always been a change with every update, but this has been for long. Let's set what happens in future updates. There's always s technicality and thanks for sharing it. I've always seen it while playing the game(fighting) never paid attention to it.

[@mcocardi6611]

Great video bro

[@benwolthoff852]

Got this from hectors vid and you don't HAVE to play cautious at the beginning. If you have ever played SE spidey (I'm sure you have :p) you can get in a rhythm of triggering dexterity and then the AI will dash back and block for a second and dash back in, so if you trigger dexterity, the NC will almost always dash back and block and you can throw the light attack

[@Idelest]

Totally! I do know that rhythm you’re talking about. I mostly just wanted to urge caution like don’t go swinging and get evade bugged lol

[@voltaire-325]

98.9% chance they fix this bug now that he is an AQ boss.

[@qiguo1917]

I think this method depends on the AI of opponent, for due so far, this method seems awesome, but in real Alliance War or some aggressive AI in Act 5, I don't know if this is still going to work.

[@Idelest]

It works in AW! Hector used it in a video that’s linked in upper right corner when you watch the vid. It works in every game mode I’ve seen so far because it’s based on the core behavior of the AI

[@qiguo1917]

I just tried it today in AW and it is amazing! Thank you so much for this! From now on NC will be lot easier!

[@night_kai3798]

Yeah I learned about this be4 this video but it works everywhere stun immune nodes in aw and act 5 and RTTL it's pretty handy

[@thegreatme18]

Thanks, really helpful

[@raymondjiang4454]

Do you think you could use this to get in free heavy attacks? Like you do the light attack and then immediately rush in and do a heavy. Would be cool to see if this works

[@Idelest]

I haven’t tested but my guess would be no. Since a heavy attack is a different kind of action on our part it would trigger a different reaction by the AI. Worth a test though for sure

[@LegDayLas]

you cant "rush in" with a heavy. This bug puts you and the opponent far away, meaning the only attack option is to use a medium attack. Using a heavy would just have your character flailing at nobody, then likely get you hit. I don't know this for a fact but i'm pretty sure using a light attack is tricking the AI into thinking you used a medium attack. Thinking that you used a medium, the computer braces itself to block and holds the block till your medium connects. Seeing as you didn't actually use your medium, you never make contact with the NC, locking the NC into its block while it continues to wait for a hit (that will never come). Then once the NC phase shifts it snaps the AI back to reality and it forgets that it was waiting to block an attack.

[@willspicer3190]

Waiting for him to dash back then hitting him while he's blocking until he switches modes is really hit or miss with me. I can do it fine about 90% of the time, but some AI just will not play along. Kind of like how sometimes you can't get a champ to use specials no matter how long you bait them and end up with a s3

[@willspicer3190]

Will have to try this new technique out

[@jackomaniac4ritra938]

Someone posted this in the forums few weeks back. Demonstrated by dueling a nc with hulk.

[@haitianrefugee8454]

Might be helpful with Hyperions regen?

[@Idelest]

Funny you said that as I used it multiple times this aq to regen. Can confirm it’s extremely helpful!

[@vachana143j]

ppl say we cannot switch mode with unawakened NC. Is that true?

[@Idelest]

Nope! Alliance mates and I use it all the time. It’s their way of trying to keep it a secret

[@vachana143j]

Idelest I tried it many times but the timer went off before he switch. I guess, it need to practice more. Thanks.

[@MarvelCreativeTV]

Update Jul 2019 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/np2yh4Kvl9Oph6c

[@zerefkhan5100]

Yo just imagine using this with nebula for building her shock charges and gambit and shit😮😮😮😮

[@LegDayLas]

the lock only lasts the duration of his phase change. You would only get 2 or so shocks till he becomes active again

[@wildstorm2207]

Use karnak sp 1 , problem solved. True strike is the key

[@LegDayLas]

except 99% of the community agrees karnak is a waist of resources. Your far more likely to find someone using Iceman to deal with evasion.

[@stevenprevete8930]

I use KM

[@Devious_assassin]

Only a matter of time before kabam changes this.

[@mikaelta1911]

TheDeviousassassin why would they?

[@domhyrule]

EliteGladiator it's not intentional

[@mikaelta1911]

DomHyrule not like it’s a bug, it’s just how the AI works

[@LegDayLas]

EliteGladiator, Its a bug in the AI though lol. Just because its the AI doesn't mean its automatically intended. Kabam will eventually patch this, but they aren't known for there haste. The bug has gone under the radar for a pretty long time but now that some more subscribed youtubers are bringing light to it a large majority of players (and undoubtedly kabam) now know about it.

[@razel5327]

Nice 👍

[@killakangz5317]

wow... thanx.

[@Richard-vu7nd]

didn't work for me

[@Idelest]

It’s still working just practice. I used it a few minutes ago

[@Richard-vu7nd]

What do you do when the AI is being really erratic with their block, so they never actually hold it? When they do that really weird block flicker thing

[@dragosdudu1740]

It is fixed now cuz of you 😂😂

[@Idelest]

LOL I appreciate you taking the time to let me know that. But its wrong. I just used it in war and a duel, and a story quest. Its still working as of 15 seconds ago.

[@dragosdudu1740]

Idelest, i was just kidding mate lol 😂

[@Idelest]

Lol I’ve gotten quite a few messages about that so I was like alright fine I’m gonna test it. Heard it in BGs video too that they had fixed it. It’s all wrong!!! Lol lol

[@dragosdudu1740]

Idelest, BG knows nothing that's why he said, cuz he can't switch him lol.

[@dmarra8930]

Already fixed

[@Idelest]

Bummer... when?

[@dmarra8930]

Apparently last update. This "bug" has been out for a little bit now and one if BG's last aw vids he mentioned it was no longer working.

[@LegDayLas]

yes but BG was wrong. Don't just take everything youtubers say as fact. BG was only spreading what he read in his alliance chat, which was false information. The bug is still very much effective, test it yourself if you want proof.

[@tgaw9659]

Cryptic Cobra ....it did not work for me

[@LegDayLas]

Then you did it wrong. Its been 2 months since I posted that comment and I have fought hundreds of NC since then. Works just as well as it always has.

[@Ironsix6six]

I will never be good at this game -_-

[@Jaffacaked83]

It's been patched

[@Idelest]

Bummer ;)

[@LegDayLas]

@Idelest I see, your just letting the sheep believe what their lord and master BG says... Well played, more bugs for the rest of us ;)

[@robo2901]

Get on with it.

[@carminarossilini3228]

Already patched

[@priimovalentiino1640]

They already patched this shit lol

[@Idelest]

But....no they didn’t? Lol I think you just want it to stay a secret. Don’t be selfish. It still works

[@priimovalentiino1640]

Idelest must've done it wrong...hope your right ... I just use Quake ;) lol

[@LegDayLas]

I love how GB says a bug is fixed therefore the whole community assumes it to be fixed. There was never a bug fix, yet the majority of the community now assumes it was patched, just because BG offhandedly made a comment that people in his alliance said it was patched. If you don't hear it from kabam, then check for yourself before you blindly accept facts

[@theofendi7761]

Bug patch coming sooner. Lol Why upload these things, it's obviously kabam will see these things and patch them fair enough if your helping the community..😋

[@Idelest]

I was waiting for someone to say this XD. I don’t think so though. It seems it’s a core behavior of the AI. It’s why they don’t drop their block mid combo. I think we can expect it to stay around. It only affects 1 champion while the AI affects all champions. I showed medusa doing the same thing. But even if you’re right I don’t think I’d feel good sitting on a secret lol.

[@n.morris]

Idelest I saw a video couple weeks ago someone doing the same thing from I've been doing it, that's what am saying it's helping the community but my opinion is you only fix something if it's broken... He's not broken an kabam will try an fix something. Possibly make him even harder lool

[@tmodakathemasterofdisaster3005]

Theo Fendi thought the same thing. It’ll definitely be patched. They won’t want him to be an easy mini-boss in AQ.

[@sir_clapsalot4011]

Theo Fendi can't even spell bro so stop talking

[@theofendi7761]

Andrew Gomez Your family cannot spell, including yourself pestilence fool.

[@PerversePoster]

Can I suggest you write some kind of script before recording? You repeat yourself so many times it's actually sort of difficult to figure out exactly what you're talking about until we see you do it.

[@Idelest]

It’s a good suggestion thanks for the feedback :) I might try it in a future video. Unfortunately I don’t have unlimited time so it’s hard to plan so well as you suggest and keep a decent upload schedule but hey I’m gonna give it a try. Thanks again for the feedback it’s very helpful

[@benitofam5880]

1st

[@tonydola3232]

shouldnt the title be kabam please fix this bug. somthing like this is bad for the game. in a game where war is top. a cheat like this gives everyone an even feild. if ur good and know how to switch him the right way then u have the advantage in war. and then ur alliamce has an advantage. ur right tho, its not a bug but its bad programming and lame. i hope they fix this 0

[@aresgodofgaming2309]

Tony Dola watch the video. He explains why it isn't a bug.
