Yep, because he seems to be the hardest "hero shooter" character ever, a mix of dps Doomfist (the real Doomfist), Hammond and Genji... if you can't play well, your team is going to blame you for everything.

@@RRRRRRRRR33funny enough, black panther was harder to get value with than spidey in the beta and bp is the genji of the game but man if your bp knows how to play him it’s an amazing sight

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

@@YourMarvelRival I think that's deceiving because Black Panther seems to be harder, but that is a thing because of the wonky hitboxes. If you hit confirm spear + every "slash" and then finish with melee, usually that is +- 250 damage (or 245 sometimes). But considering the awful performance, the server lag, the weird hitboxes (bizarre how the normal melee has more range than the main attack), that becomes harder to execute because you lose the reset without even noticing. It's also hard to hit the web shots and the web "lasso" with Spiderman, but the hitboxes are easier to understand if compared to Black Panther literally trespassing people like a ghost lol

[@YourMarvelRival]

@@RRRRRRRRR33 yeah I mean I never had many of the issues you’ve listed even once so maybe that’s why I could clean up with either of these characters but I watched a lot of bad BPs in the beta and not too many bad spideys everyone pretty much figured his combos out it seemed

[@RRRRRRRRR33]

@@YourMarvelRival I had plenty of technical issues, that's why its hard to judge. Not only playing on a different country, but I also have a old CPU (ryzen 2600), the Spider Islands was a stutter nightmare regardless of visual settings. I think the characters are equal, 5 stars for each, if Spiderman has more straight to the point combos and a braindead ultimate (it's literally the Reaper ultimate, but way stronger because Spiderman can jump on a group of enemies out of nowhere), his traversal is way more complex than Black Panther, the angles, how you can use the wall crawling/running, etc.. Panther is like Doomfist, you have to cycle all the cool downs to secure kills. But unlike Overwatch were dps (and tank) Doomfist is more complex than Genji because of all the geometry bullshit, roll outs, do or die (if you miss by 1cm as Doom, you will die in higher ranks), on Marvel Rivals both Spidey and Panther are on a rather equal skill ceiling. Let's see how Iron Fist is going to work, most likely he will be the defacto Doomfist of this game, one inch punch, upwards dragon kick and everything

Tbh the optimism in this video is appreciative, but my biggest problem with NetEase Games is that they've always made games with good potential. However, they always try to suck the game dry or don't advertise it properly. They're making good first impressions of the game before trying to pump the play base with just microtransactions. Also, NetEase is a little sketchy with their whole creator contract because there's a literal section on what the creators can do, which includes not criticizing the game. It makes the devs seem egotistical and makes me think that this good impression is just a scheme and that they'll eventually start pumping microtransactions. I know you said it's an F2P game, and they have to make money, but there have been rumors they plan on putting newer characters behind battle passes or the fact you have to pay money for them. If this is NetEase's golden child, and they won't make the same mistakes with their other games and actually try to be a good competition with Overwatch, then they have a chance. Marvel has so many beloved and iconic characters they can add to the game, and it will gain traction FAST. They don't even have more iconic characters like Wolverine, Venom, Deadpool, Thor, Captain America, and the list can go on and on. The potential for events, too, can be absolutely hype; they can literally rip comic events and call it a day, introducing two or three new characters and a few good rewards, and everyone will be happy. The potential is limitless, but my skepticism is keeping my expectations steady.

@@Fooziorsum That is pretty standard for early alphas or pre-alpha launches. Either that, or they hand you a complete NDA for pre-alpha launches, especially when it is industry and hand selected testers only. That being said, Blizzard wasn't much better. Even Paladins has been through some shitty companies, and that is a much smaller and less funded game, despite having much better gameplay and mechanics than Overwatch 2. That is just the gaming industry, good studios that are able to put passion over profit are rare and practically extinct at the scale that games like Overwatch or Marvel Rivals require. I really hope they adopt a F2P monetization model similar to Fortnite, and let the popularity of the game pump money into the game through skins. With Marvel's IP, the options for skins are so vast, and they could even come up with new ones or release existing ones alongside new movie, TV and comic launches like they are already doing with Spider-Punk skins, obviously Spiderman is going to be the biggest money maker in terms of skins alongside Iron-Man with all the different suit options and the generation of kids that grew up with MCU Iron-Man as their premier superhero rather than comics Spider-Man.

EDIT: They've supposedly since apologized and are walking back their policy to "be less restrictive and more creator-friendly", but imho the fact they even had it in there (and enforced it) to begin with is still gross and makes me think they're only walking it back because they got called out.

[@KindofBradAtThis]

I’m actually glad you’re bringing this up because 1. They aren’t review copies, it’s an alpha build and 2. They immediately withdrew the clause The content creator system they had wasn’t them reaching out saying “hey here’s a review copy please play our game” it was something creators had to GOTO to get info and sign up for. They were sent a contract, agreed, and signed. For an alpha build of a game, while that clause was strict, usually it’s an NDA and no one talks about the game at all. Clearly people are allowed to talk bad about the game. 98% alpha player are creators and didn’t have to sign shit.

It was a good line because the internet has this "combative" mentality, everything is a "top 10", everything has to be either the best or worst thing ever, etc.. direct competitors can coexist, that's good for the consumers. Saying that, as a traumatized Overwatch player, I want to see Overwatch dying in a horrible way, goddamn abomination smh it's already half dead, the popularity explosion of Marvel Rivals (already 1 million wishlists on Steam and it's growing, this game can break the alltime record of active players on the platform) + all the other high profile "hero shooters" about to be released (Bungie is preparing Anthem as we type these comments, even the giant and scary Valve is about to jump in), Overwatch is going to die, they will resist until early 2025 at best, then enter on "maintenance mode"

Scarlet witch does not need a Nerf to her ultimate but i do agree that she gets her ultimate way too fast 😅 her ultimate is basically a diva bomb so it's only a matter of time when people start actually shooting her or hiding behind Shields or walls 😂😂

[@AbbyOW2]

She's also very easy to kill because she slows herself down by 80%. It catches u off guard but once you realise the ultimate backfires on Wanda more on herself than you, it's practically a free kill. That and cutting LOS or fading also ensures it doesn't kill you and I have blocked it with Shields.

[@piasxk8908]

The game is really fun and I REALLY enjoy it but yall gotta admit that its an overwatch 2 copy and not in the same way that ov is a copy of tf2. Ov took the model of tf2 and added some game modes and generally expanded upon it (more specifically, the heroes - the introduced COMPLETELY different character kits) while marvel rivals just takes existing kits from overwatch 2 and even league of legends sometimes and just mixes them up (for example: magneto being basically sigma, venom having 3 out of his 4 abilities shamelessly stolen from wrecking ball, hulk just having the same mechanic as dva, punisher having widow's grapple and bastion's pre ov 2 turret form, hawkeye having the hanzo's leap, which is REALLY cheap considering the both are bow characters and so it looks even more like a cheap copy, moon knight's moon blade being one of sivir's abilities, scarlet witch being almost a 1:1 copy of moira, star lord having the same concept for abilities as tracer with THE SAME reload animation and ult DIRECTLY taken from soldier, with his e ability being just worse reaper ult, iron fist being a lee sin copy, loki is just azir, mantis having a sleep ability like ana, adam warlock having his attacks copied from zenyatta, luna snow's ult being a copy of lucio's main mechanic and also having the freeze, cloak and dagger being a weird combination of rammatra and moira). Also a lot of their original ults are recycled - they are just these bland area of damage type ults. I really hope this games does something new and innovative in the future, but by seeing how much they blatantly copied... I honestly don't think this game will withstand the test of time to be regarded as true overwatch competitor, which sucks because blizzard been doing a lot of bad decisions and I was hoping that some healthy rivalry would benefit ov... Shame on me i guess.

[@piasxk8908]

Also I saw a lot of people trying to counter this argument by saying that that's how inspiration works, which i have to disagree with. Inspiration is taking small elements of things you enjoy, mixing them up and building upon them. Stealing kits and/or abilities doesn't fall under the umbrella of inspiration. While yes, you could trace ov 2's kits and abilites to a lot of sources, they mixed them up pretty well and used many different mediums, while marvel rivals just shamelessly steals them (and not from other sources, they stole from their competitors - ov 2 and lol) which is really bad, considering they have literal DECADES of material to pull from, raging from games to comic books and movies.

[@TigerBlood-m4b]

Yall dont understand the gaming market and it's scary these devs dont seem to either. We have 3 povs, birds eye, 3rd person and 1st person. These povs all appeal to different gamers, you have birds eye appealing to more strategy based gamers, like dota and league. You have 1st person that appeals much more to the mechanical sweaty try hards like overwatch and every fps out there. And than you have 3rd person, the pov dedicated to single player games because its the best for casuals. The issue here is you cannot run a game purely off casuals unless its single player, even fortnite only managed to attract so many without ruining their game because the battle royal formula is magical, it allows for a casual player to not get flamed inna competitive environment, while letting the super try hards still be able to dominate a lobby without the casuals simply just existing, ruining it like what happens with too many games overwatch included, as appealing to casuals in overwatch actually detracts from the true gamers in the fanbase and has been a massive point of tension since the launch when the devs said they wanna make a complex game and make it easier over time cause they developed some illness that made them stop thinking I guess? 😂 And we see this all the time, how many overwatch like games have come out in 3rd person over the years and just absolutely flopped? Honestly to many to name, but do a Google search if you wanna see. So I dont see how the fps sweaty try hards are all gonna want to flock to this game or the sweaty big brain strategy masters of dota and league, so it's most likely gonna primarily appeal to the casuals like all these games with a small super dedicated playerbase of try hards that like with striker storm immediately make the game unappealing to the casuals, and theyll all run off to their single player games or fortnite again. If you genuinely wanna appeal to the sweaty try hards of overwatch, you absolutely need the pov that enables that, otherwise they wont feel as fulfilled as they do in overwatch and I wouldnt recommend ever trying to compete with dota or league, those games are monsters and will devour anyone who steps foot towards them at this point 😂 We also have side scroller but that isnt relevant here, but who knows maybe I'm wrong and marvel rivals with be so amazing that it breaks this pattern, just I cant think of a single 3rd person game besides pubg and fortnite that's lasted the test of time as a 3rd person comp game, you need some way to bridge those casuals to the people who trully wanna invest in your game without destroying either but when your game inherently appeals to the casuals who will be hopping on and off for other games, you'll be fighting one hell of an uphill battle.

I think you're right on the money. I was fortunate enough to get into the playtest and what I've seen and experienced so far has me really hopeful. The game play is fun, the sound and art design is really impressive and it all hints at a lot of potential depth and growth. I've never played another game by NetEase but they've put a lot of effort into this one and it shows. Yes, as a F2P game, there's going to be monetization of some sort. The good news is that the developer has said there will be no "pay to win" elements here. No characters locked behind a paywall, etc. It sounds like all in-game purchases will be for cosmetics. That's something I can get behind. Overall, the game just does the Marvel IP a lot of justice. I really, REALLY hope that this game does well and that NetEase doesn't let the greed consume them and turn it into yet another predatory disappointment.

[@ItsJustKoyaMan]

Saying that this is their first swing at a "real game" undermines the large success that Naraka Bladepoint is on the east. If anything, it's the best reference point for how this game will turn out seeing as its a live service free-to-play pvp pc game, and from my perspective, they've been nailing it.
