Marvel Rivals - How To ACTUALLY Play Mr Fantastic - Tips That Are Actually Useful

[@GreenTheGrape]

I assure you, it is absolutely necessary that I share my shield with the psylocke in the pre battle lobby

[@axobishop]

Especially with Invisible woman and dagger

[@Bekfst]

Concur 👍🏾

[@aaafhkbfr]

I love sharing with iron man

[@JayceCH.]

Was actually spamming that shit on Susan and the Ironman joined me 🤣🤣🤣

[@kamdenfinlyfilms]

Did that with groot after the 2nd time he looked back the forward did it again looked back slowly the forward

[@shai310]

I think that's the brilliance of Mr Fantastic's design. Even though he's a dps his kit supports teamplay as well since he can shield allies and peel for his supports. He also works well as a tank hybrid making the 1/3/2 comp a lot easier to manage since you take less pressure of your normal tank.

[@LaztheLax]

💯 a perfect versatile off tank. I seen him in a 3-3 setup with 2 tanks and reed, and 3 healers. It's actually dumb effective

[@KryptiK0420]

I definitely feel like this needs to be a new series for this channel. A how to play is absolutely perfect because you see things others don't. Please make more of these, straight 🔥🚒🔥

[@michealwalton1773]

Agreed :)

[@seven_8434]

Using your E to protect team mates and also as an escape tool feels fairly good in my experience. Granting that bonus health to a support can really mess up a diver and then you're also there to pressure them away. Overall all his abilities are so versatile and interesting on top of having to manage your elacticity resource, he's really one of the coolest heroes they've added to the game.

[@quagger6919]

Btw if you weave the melee in between the two E's you can get more damage as the E will delay the passive transformation

[@BDC040905020]

Can you explain what you mean by this? What do you mean by the E will delay the passive transformation?

[@nitro5202]

​@BDC040905020 exactly as it says the E's movement takes priority over the transformation so you will sling yourself forward before you transform

[@bangaliekanu5852]

@@nitro5202I think they want a translation for console players

[@rail5575]

@@BDC040905020 hes referring to that one extra melee you need to hit at the end of the combo to get the transformation, and to instead use it in between the two E's instead of at the end so that the transformation activates immediately after the second E

[@PDfrens]

@@rail5575E=pull for dummies

[@givesbeetdip0055]

Something to add, when doing the inbiggen combo it would be good to use your last e on an enemy to close the gap and you can go tank mode right in their face

[@cntom8233]

The combo is perfect But sometimes you might want to reconsider his other uses before rushing into tank mode: - Sometimes you can save an ally with your dash shielding - Sometimes you can secure a kill by the right click's CC - The reach of your non-tank left click is pretty good, combined with the flailing mechanic, you can "sometimes" dish out more damage this way - Doing this cycle non-stop would make you predictable and enemies might time their quick kill combos right after your reflect

[@chazzerine7650]

That's all very high level stuff that comes with experience. The point of this guide was to teach aspiring Mr Fantastic players his general game plan and strategy, and let them kind of figure out the rest with those basics.

[@kendallcoombs9551]

It's literally not. They said to do this essentially 24/7. Still a great vid, really helpful. But dont defend by saying what isnt true ​@@chazzerine7650

[@In2indies]

I find the distance gained in normal form is better in a lot of situations. Not only that, but you have all of your abilities at your disposal. If you don't have the support, you'll lose that 800 hp before you get to deal out any real damage.

[@doodgoi9102]

I've been playing him as anti-dive and consistently get Ace. Just hit a grapple on a flanker who's either preparing an engage or an escape and they become fodder. You can also thrust into your teammates that are getting dove to boost their hp and keep them from getting bursted against chars like Spidey and Magik. I agree his tank mode is a noob trap, his main abilities are far better

[@cntom8233]

@@chazzerine7650 yeah that's why I'm just adding onto it . I said the combo is perfect

[@IchigoTheQuincy]

Haven’t watched the video yet but ur intro alone got you the like man 😂 literally every video I’ve seen so far I stg just feels like the saw another KZbinrs guide video and just said the same exact thing followed by a game of them playing the guy in quick play 😂

[@robertpegues4537]

It’s still crazy that apex merchant is basically a thing of the past with marvel rivals blowing up. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@Buckethead15]

That was smart 😊

[@_Ender1]

GET OUT!

[@kryptik2230]

Possible one of the best how to play X videos out there, the fact that you included some numbers (damage/slow%) that isn't in-game was very helpful, especially the ult. well done

[@Sableonix]

I like these tips. I'm sure my favorite thing about Mr Fantastic is how sticky he can get before tank mode activates in team fight. When he grabs you with armor or support it's smothering

[@seven_8434]

I've personally been starting with an E and then using right click into another E just to get the hit on the right click more consistently. It's very slight but it does also put your E on an earlier cooldown so you might get your combo back slightly faster, though you don't pull the enemy as far. I think depending on the situation varying the ability order may be optimal.

[@chazzerine7650]

I really like how much his game plan sticks to a rigid structure or "routine" where you use one ability after the other. This repeatable consistency fits his science background.

[@gaminghighpriest5293]

Noooo? Most melee/mid duelists r like this. Bro is desperate for likes

[@GaveMeStyle7]

@@gaminghighpriest5293Literally every character in the game is like this, lol

[@Jujitard69420]

Reed richards is all about flexibility of mind and body it doesnt make sense if youre meaning character wise

[@iopohable]

this is one youtuber opinion on how to throw as a brand new character; this isn't 'how you play the character'

[@777makemusic]

After watching this video and spreading 4 hours on Mr Fantastic today i can say i i found my true main. great guide, you’ve got my follow ❤️ End of Day 1 Stats; 3.5 Hours, 520 Kills, 17.5 tank activations per game, 13k average damage blocked, 12k average damage dealt, and a third of my way through “Knight” proficiency. This guide really made me realize that this character is AMAZING when used right. thank you so much you have no idea what you’ve let loose on the Dallas servers!!!!

[@iopohable]

nobody cares

[@Snowborn0075]

I love this style of video/tactics. The one thing I would like added is how to counter the somebody playing the character well. This makes it seem like there’s no good counter if you play him optimally.

[@backupdrive36]

i played him today mvp every game lol seems impossible to die except in tank form as the transformation is quite slow

[@skmkr5222]

Thank you for your Rivals content. You have a very pleasant voice and I like how structured your videos are.

[@fatjoe460]

Definitely going to practice that combo. Thanks for highlighting it

[@dalping]

you also know you're in attack range when the red icon for your E shows up on them

[@RobRevz]

Amazing guide, I’ve played Mr fantastic once before watching this.. did okay.. now I just played my second match after watching this.. 20-1 thanks

[@JT-mt6ku]

He's a really controller-friendly hero, the dash is really great.

[@Gen0Granger09]

Any plans to go over Invisible Woman?

[@Sleamy]

This guide is awesome! I like Mr. Fantastic and that combo will help a lot with increasing my skill at him. Thanks a lot!

[@vizhal007]

This is an awesome video, wish more people made guides like these, cant wait for your Sue Storm guide!

[@vizhal007]

I wish you spoke about ways to counter him tho, that would've made this THE ONLY MR FANTASTIC GUIDE YOU WILL EVER NEED

[@ThunderFlameAttack]

If your team is chilling playing funtastic like a Tank is fine, but if your backline is getting dived on. You should be protecting them. You can give 150shield to them and be their meat shield. Comitted Panthers/Psy's/Hulk's they don't stand a chance.

[@josephstacy821]

The one tip I’ve found is that he is amazing when playing with the team. A lot of his survivability comes with people being around him, and with his tank form he and another tank can clean house. I found pushing in with a Dive tank usually works as everyone has to either shoot the Mr. Fantastic or the tank, which both can kill the team quickly if left unchecked

[@VolpeNV]

I hope you'll do a similar guide for Sue, with the positioning and playstyle because sometimes it's hard to keep track of everyone and not expose yourself to the enemy

[@AdrianGK47]

Haven't watched your content in years cause I abandoned Apex, glad you're covering Marvel Rivals now!

[@ShellsGhost1]

The pull ability gives allies a shield so he's..... FANTASTIC for protecting support. He can turn around, zip to an ally giving them a shield and bullying the dive as they try to escape.

[@skulltothebone5003]

Something you can also do is shield your supports while they are being flancked and attacked because ot will give you some stretch meter and allow you to move quickly to your back line

[@shayanhosseini8429]

I really like the semi-tank playstyle of Mr. Fantastic since he can be very flexible :) in games

[@Xgp_15A2]

Thank you for this, it has alreafy helped so much compared to how i was playing him befor!

[@Eeshank2]

this is crazy informative 3:50 thank you so much! I was going insane trying to make him work but failed to do so

[@AnalogPlaza]

So happy that even after I stopped playing apex, I can still look forward to some good old merchant content, fantastic work

[@varismonroe1615]

to throw into the combo if u have your team up with sue u can pop the shield right before u go into tank mode to give i regeneration while on tank mode. i do this and then go into my until to self heal while ulting

[@MICROKNIGHT3000]

It's called lingering hitbox, or rather lingering melee hitbox

[@mattybravo9234]

Thanks for the great guide. His kit and playstyle is like Ramattra in OW2 but more flexible. (pun intended)

[@coacoabro]

I literally played one game, did horrific and was convinced this guy was trash. Then watched this video and now I love him. Thank you!

[@hank3634]

Thanks for the hitting multiple enemy tip I didn't know that 🥂 Thanks dor combo as well

[@Itisthemuffin]

Showing the actual characters damage damage is soooo useful!!!

[@chaos4000]

IDK i personally have saved so many allies with his e before clutching them so they can heal i mean it is kind of a similar thing only you do it to and ally first but i guess i play him different then this

[@jeremyzang8802]

He is litrally unkillable by so many heros its bonkers 😢 best tank if untilised well and he is a dps 😮 crazy strong 💪

[@RegularRegs]

Your accent made me hear "Wow, you all can read"😂😂😂😂 I'm dying. Great vid btw

[@Ratt611]

Good explanation of his combos🎉

[@ryudhal]

Not sure if I missed it in the video, but a (possible) extra tip: I'm pretty sure since his left click is technically melee, it *goes through* Dr. Strange's shield. Not sure about Magneto's but it probably will do the same. Correct me if I'm wrong cus it's possible i just angled my hits well but every time i attack a Strange with shield up he just takes the damage.

[@YokaiSteve]

Considering it's a melee, pretty common knowledge at this point that all of them go through shields aside from Cap's....

[@jeromenancyfr]

Nice guide!

[@hank3634]

The only reason I play as Mr fantastic is ofc to give people..ahemm... *shield*

[@Zane12ai]

I now fear fantastic, and will forever view him as a tank until the opponent shows me they can’t play him right

[@34autobot]

“I’m not going to go over his abilities” *Immediately goes over his abilities*

[@Takabeee]

0:03 thank you! I can read. I hate when the video is half reading to me lol

[@fabianlindstrom9519]

U don’t have to shift just because it’s your little gimmickie combo, it is much better to save it to deny big CDs for your team, when you already have a pick on the enemy you don’t want to stand around shifting no damage, you go forward and just punch to enter tank mode, if a big CD is coming then you have your shift to deny it otherwise you just enter tank form faster

[@jeradhillis9348]

Hey, just a thought, instead of saying "e ability" or "shift ability," could you say the name of the abilities? Or maybe include controller controls as well? There's a huge number of people who play on console instead of PC

[@jeradhillis9348]

R2, L2, R2, pause L1, L1, then finish with a normal R2 attack. After tank mode is done, R1 to absorb damage while waiting for cooldowns

[@Argonaut_23]

For someone on Ps5 can you tell me what the controls would be n how to set up melee cancel 🙏

[@GreenTheGrape]

I think it's R2 then R3 for the first alternating punches, then two reel ins/shields

[@GreenTheGrape]

Not sure though

[@simonh5870]

It should be R2>L2>R2>L1>L1>R1-The second R2 is the reel in you want to cancel with the first L1

[@karl343]

Absolute mong KZbinrs, they think the game is only on PC. They alienate potential subscribers by catering to only one platform. It's not difficult to refer to actions by their in-game name.

[@ArcherSalad]

to escape when flanking ill usually try and use my e ability on any teammates behind me not always possible tho

[@boookythegod]

I ate a psylocke ult and one shot someone full health, I also did the same with Ironman. The move definitely can one shot.

[@icedaemon64]

Disregard if your channel is targeted toward PC players primarily, but if you call out the ability vs the buttons it would open up for console players to follow as well. Not sure if you can remap on PC, but if you can, the original buttons mean little as well. Otherwise great video, thanks for the tips

[@nguyenhuutrung3413]

Melee ? Isn't that just his normal attack ? Does his melee button do the same thing ?

[@turtleanton6539]

Ok this is gr8 content

[@Psykroids]

Take note! THIS is an actual guide. Screw the videos that just go over abilities then states one sentence about them.

[@recon_freakon4688]

have not played since the update. this might be my toon... especially if i play duelist... always a tank/support... expect for some wolverine play...

[@jetsetdizzy9433]

Actually useful!

[@Splatcake]

how do you use his LT i want to grab 2 players but it only ever grabs one or i can dash into them i dont get it

[@xcutioon2025]

When do most of you guys think you should leave tank mode. Cause i seem to get shredded no matter how many times i use it. Like how much health would you have to be at

[@Tokeshiro]

i kinda wish he was a full tank ngl, his kit is really fun he just need 200+ health and he be a vanguard

[@nemitod]

thank you very kindly sir

[@kevindyer4072]

He definitely does better in group pushes then solo

[@iCeeYouP]

I love this guy’s accent

[@Suikojowy]

I'm glad other people are getting tired of "guides" which are just reading off the abilities and then some gameplay from a match with absolutely no insight or commentary

[@ChillwatersRunDeep]

I have been really disliking iron fist, the power his fist have last so long ive seen him 6kill squad wipe. Ive been loving mr fantastic's shift bounce shield. Let iron fist punch away for long enough to get my reticle lined up, boom. Been killing iron fists as long as i have it off cooldown

[@hellwroughtangel]

The title should have been how to play mr fantastic fantastically.

[@hanzanep]

Can you do this with console?

[@Antonio-vl7to]

So different, ty

[@DrSandwich02]

just a question the offical website with the heroes exact numbers on it exists why not use that to get the numbers beacuse no he does not do 72 dps on his punches he does 60 damage a hit has no season bonus for damage and attacks every 1.1 seconds so its slightly less then 60 damage per second, you got his e correctly on numbers why couldnt you for his punches

[@MarvelRivalsMerchant]

He does 60+60+120 damage - his third hit is double damage The website doesn't explain this so I wanted to showcase the DPS whilst considering this extra damage per third hit

[@wright5791]

Its annoying that every melee character can hit through shields but mister fantastic cant

[@xjosephcoolx]

Better combo: left click, e, left click, right click, left click, e

[@SemmiQ]

Instead of saying the MnK buttons can you say which move it is? I’m on PS but I watch you videos. I have to pause and look up what your E does then go to the next step etc

[@MarvelRivalsMerchant]

Sure I'll do that for next time!

[@SemmiQ]

The display of your buttons on screen in a line really helped tho! Ty!

[@mikearsen4580]

I think the transition to tank mode should be manual, i lost so many kills cause it's not

[@klaythompson663]

Am I crazy or is Mr. Fantastic by far the best character in the game?

[@Phillip_Simpson_3]

I feel the same after playing either him after a week i took a break from marvle rivals but yt vids like this make me wanna pick him up again hes mega slept on in rank

[@chazzerine7650]

With this strategy, your tanking WILL be in line with other tanks. There will be games where there are tanks on your team and you block more damage as Mr Fantastic. It is this reason why I believe his class should swap to Vanguard. No balance adjustments, just a class change.

[@boldisordorin9010]

I think it's part of this game's philosophy that the written role doesn't matter as much as in overwatch and you can try different strategies scince there is no role lock. So it doesn't matter that much if he is called a vanguard or duelist, it's just a title.

[@leri3365]

What does this accomplish? Nothing there's no role que so it is useless
