Marvel Crisis Protocol's Hulk Review: One Punch Man the Mini?

[@1IronMutt]

Nice video and good analysis. I’ll check if you have an updated video on changes.

[@TheGamersGuild]

There was a more broad video about all of the changes about when they first happened, but I don’t think I did an individual review for Hulk with the update.

[@ReallyBigBadAndy76]

This is your best video yet. Having something discrete to analyze this way makes for a nice bit of content. You mention the size of hulks base leading to 5 inches of movement. Do you have the dimensions for some of the game pieces? I’m trying to build terrain and it would be great to have more measurements for scale.

[@DanteMustLearn]

Bases are currently 35/45/65 mm you want to build to O scale

[@DanteMustLearn]

He's going to a be very fun I don't seeing as a competitive character I'm a bit sad he can't throw buildings

[@TheGamersGuild]

Thanks guys, I must agree that it was nice to have something from the game to go over and analyze. ReallyBigBadAndy76 we do have some measurements. We know the ranges for 1 2 3 4 and 5 are 1" 3" 6" 8" and 10" respectively, and because hulk is on a 65mm base (about 2.5 inches) gives him a pretty good leap.

[@ReallyBigBadAndy76]

TheDarkPrince thanks. Are those diameters or circumferences? I have gleaned that it’s “o scale” but there seems to be some pretty wide interpretation of what o scale means.

[@sunnywigan]

I agree with ReallyBIgBadAndy76 Nate,this is your best video by far to date. Great work

[@rylok]

Good analysis, subbing for more MCP content!

So hey! I watched the Hulk vs MODOK stream and they haven’t confirmed anything on MODOK but I’m positive based on that stream he has 10 stamina and is 5 threat. I know I’m obsessing but can you blame me? lol

[@TheGamersGuild]

Not a bit, I am looking forward to reviewing him because I have a feeling MODOK will be our first character that gets significantly weaker on his injured side

[@6O8gamer07]

The Gamers Guild That makes sense! Especially since wilds thrown against him don’t count! Which is crazy!

[@krzykoopa]

Are you hungover in this video?

While I get that Atomic Games is going for balance, the concerns about having Hulk taken out in a single turn sound like they've either forgotten about or seriously nerfed his healing factor. After all, Hulk is known for taking on entire teams of heroes or villains all by his lonesome, and winning much of the time. His stamina is among the very highest of any Marvel character (source: OHOTMU). He's far more difficult to injure than it sounds like the cards are implying, and even then he can typically heal so fast that he doesn't care. Some examples: his eyes were gouged out twice during his battle with the X-Men in World War Hulk only to swiftly return (even when they managed to temporarily dampen his healing factor), he's recovered from a broken neck multiple times, he had most of his body mass stripped away by Vector only to slap him aside and quickly regrow everything, and during the Immortal Hulk run he's literally returned from being skeletonized. I've been waiting for a detailed review of Hulk to show up to get a sense of Crisis Protocol's overall approach. Characters like Hulk are literally in their own class; many others shouldn't even be able to damage them. This would obviously make balancing tough for a miniatures game, but even so we aren't talking about the likes of say, Marvel Vs. Capcom here. I foresee at least some players making up some house rules or tweaking various abilities to better represent certain aspects of characters like this.

[@TheGamersGuild]

Yea, in the same vein Captain Marvel is not nearly as powerful on the board as In the comics, but I think they have balanced that characters in game really well. Captain Marvel with Binary Form puts her on Hulks level, and an injured Hulk, well a 12 dice strike speaks for itself, and I know I’ll get smacked with it at some point. I would love Hulk to also be our first Raid Battle Boss. Then we may get to see a little bit more of that regeneration factor amongst other things.

[@6O8gamer07]

Hulk seemed to hold his own in their live stream. In fact he dominated. The concern isn't there for me. It is a strategy game after all and I wouldn't jump Hulk into a large group of characters by himself.
