4:06 Jeffs Heal has infinite damage. This wasn't a mistake. Jeff can do whatever he wants.

Damn straight!

Jeff riding on Groot is the best.

[@renjia3504]

Jeff needs a live action movie

[@salurorottiers9305]

Jeff however, CAN get hit during hide and seek. Its just harder to hit him.

[@radlspo]

As someone who never played Overwatch, Rocket Racoon was a great introductory character that still feels very rewarding to play as!

[@tinyhat2188]

First match on Rivals I played Moon Knight and got a 15 kill streak. Second match on played one of the hardest characters Iron Fist and struggled a lot😂 Edit: Thanks for all the likes and comments, y’all are the best

[@Uw7wuw]

Yea but he seems so op if you get used to him Imma try to main iron fist

[@Gameorama91]

Had a similar start. My first match I picked Squirrel Girl and we were defending in the Payload mode, and we hardly let them leave their spawn, it was awesome lol. Next match I tried a Tank in Groot, and had a much harder time with that.

[@CadeGreenwood-p1b]

Ok

[@CT-REX-gf4es]

My first couple matches were absolutely miserable(teammates not picking anything useful or any team ups) but the more I played the better I got and the better my teammates got.

[@meowth.commenter]

On iron fist i got a 15 kill streak, it was so op taht we won

[@FiestaTX17]

I’ve been playing a lot of Cap, he’s awesome! Been in a team and diving with Hulk is so powerful.

[@vivalaglavii6736]

He’s so unapologetically American, I love him.

[@RebelTrooperHoth]

sounds like the epic trailers guy

[@Lefuhq3]

I thought he was so bad at first but I stuck with him and I was playing him wrong the entire time lol.

[@exalt2674]

Any tips? I've done some decent work, but.

[@exalt2674]

@@Lefuhq3 What did you change?

[@lucashampton6269]

I had been playing Overwatch since launch. I started on tank but became a support main (before role queue was a thing) when I got fed up with nobody picking support. I played one game on Venom, and everything else was Jeff. I have never had so much fun playing a support as I have with Jeff and this game. The heals are maybe a touch too strong (especially with a Jeff and Luna Snow combo, I'd say tune those two done by 2% each and you'd be fine) but the key difference is that the healing doesn't override any other ability. In OW, there's Kiriko cleanse that with the press of a button can render any ult, any ability, any amount of skill totally useless. That doesn't happen in Rivals. Sure, Jeff is a heal bot, but he's mobile. His damage is actually pretty good. The Luna Snow ice combo he gets makes him a lot more powerful in the damage game, but the trade-off is you're not healing while blasting your foes with ice shots. His ult is incredibly unique, and it really makes you think about how and where you use it. I had the best time playing a hero shooter in years tonight. Overwatch, especially since the switch to OW2, has become really soul crushing to play. Playing Rivals and Jeff has been a breath of fresh air. When I walk away from my computer after a night of OW, I walk away angry, defeated, and wishing I had any other game to play. I eventually did uninstall the game. And my mental health actually improved by a noticeable amount. I walked away from my computer after playing Rivals and Jeff feeling happy, full of life, and wanting more. I hope that a role queue mode gets implemented and that this game dominates. Rivals is a blast!

[@connorthedude1]

I totally agree with everything you're saying, I'm in the same boat. On a side note, isn't Cloak&Dagger's cloak/invis ability basically Kiriko cleanse? Because it seemed like he blocked himself and his teammates from the Dr Strange ult with it.

[@anoneemous406]

It’s because the game is new.

[@Aadrian66]

@@connorthedude1Mantis’ ult also prevents herself and teams to be safe from ults and abilities .. I use her exclusively and have activated her ult against Spider-Man and multiple others and no one has died.

[@George-z1m6c]

Role queue has to be in comp only as to not ruin casual fun like ow2

[@FivEdits_real]

Putting the Dr Strange portal infront of the enemy spawn and making them walk off the edge is diabolical😭

you're my go to channel for rivals dude. keep it up man.

[@ImzJustAGuy]

And snap too all around marvel games

[@kuatokuatokuato]

Something i think someone should do a video on soon is telling new players who dont know who to pick to wait on the select screen, and then to pick whatever character will complete a team up. You get to try new characters while also helping others

[@malcovich_games]

I would rather lock in quickly... and then press tab to check team comp. From there, decide to flex or team up or keep my pick.

[@WristTapeDrowzzy]

​@@malcovich_games I mean that makes sense but most people just instalock and make it everyone else's problem.

@@WristTapeDrowzzy true, they make it my problem too, but I am a pushover heh heh

[@slayerbot1394]

Just what i needed. Ive never played this kind of shooter, so this is helpful

[@emyron1843]

First match I played Moon Knight and went 20-0. I’ve tried other characters but he just feels so smooth to use to me that I always came back him after a couple of deaths on someone else. Easily my favorite character in the game.

[@Archer-hl3sj]

More content please. Played several matches this morning and wasn’t able to play in the beta. This game is INCREDIBLE!!

[@animeandgames6397]

I use iron fist 90% of the time, consistently get 2-3 kill streaks, just remember that you want to get in there with triple jump, attack with L1, parry attacks or charge up aura; kill the target, get away with triple jump and heal. He's basically an assassin character.

[@Gxralt]

He's the most OP character rn and will probably get nerfed soon so dont get too locked in on him imo

[@dreworyan5652]

Not hating, genuinely asking, is 2-3 killstreak good?… I’ve been getting 5-8 on average and my highest is 15

[@yuseiilyas701]

@@dreworyan56522-3 isn’t anything to shout home about. But I guess if he’s saying “consistently” that could make a difference lol

[@dreworyan5652]

@@yuseiilyas701 that’s what I’ve come to gather. I’m at a very high level of play BUT I’ll say that any game is for enjoyment. If people are having fun getting small elims or support then hell yeah 🙏🏼

[@davidkallen548]

Thanks for this, Cozy. Found Hawkeye was pretty beginner friendly but tough to master with accuracy and when to use the ultimate. I think having infinite arrows definitely helps!

[@BeachSalad]

This game is crazy, my first game as Bucky I got a 15 Kill streak and 5 of those were me using his Ultimate back to back and wiping the enemy team. Got a 25 Kill game with Mantis, she's just so good.

[@Your_LocalWizard]

AGAIN

[@parkerd2919]

Just started my main Hulk again since the beta, I’m sooooo glad they reworked his stun lock to where you can hit them now.

[@ragingmajesty]

4:29 you CAN get hit while submerged as jeff, but only on the fin that is poking out of the ground

[@foxos7776]

Fact that my whole time got thrown off the map by Jeff’s ult right when we were about to win at 99% at the point. The worst part too, it was the Jeff on our team, it wasn’t even the enemy Jeff 😭

[@gus051]

Cloak and dagger is one of the easiest characters for beginners and it also happens to be one of the best healers

[@PhoTC]

Not for beginners, for people who have played hero shooters like us sure, we can jump right in and utilize their entire kit, but for actual beginners, no

[@gus051]

​@@PhoTCit feels like there's no aim assist in this game and combined with how fast paced it is it's kinda hard to hit people. Even if you don't utilize their entire kit (which you shouldn't be worrying about as a begginer) and just stick to dargger, those auto aim attacks are extremely helpful.

[@Switcheroo4542]

There's definitely aim assist btw, just saying ​@@gus051

[@ryannunez2099]

I freaking love playing Cloak & Dagger. Will easily be my main going forward. ⚔️

[@ligquiga]

Thank you for telling the newbies this because all of these characters are easy for me to kill as iron fist

[@PhoTC]

it's the way iron fists kept trying to dive me on jeff but I also dove and skedaddled underground and into a nearby E I was saving. chase me all you want

[@bigt1574]

First match I played was with Moon Knight and I went 28-0 with 17k damage. Then I played Spiderman, and it didn’t go well.

[@JordansMortalKombatAdven-xn3qo]

This is awesome! Not sure who to play and I really think I need to learn these characters to learn the basics with

[@AfterTheApocalypse26]

Punisher and Moon Knight have been the best for me as a hero shooter newbie. Though it varies wildly, one match I got 30 kills, no deaths and then the next I was terrible

[@Leggett27]

Venom needs a speed buff, when you land you’re basically in quick sand while every other character (including tanks) runs circles around you and you cant escape.

[@Randomplaceinruralamerica]

You’re supposed to dive characters who are separated from the rest, use mobility to get in, pop shield and tear them up. His lack of speed is meant to punish you for poor cooldown management

[@keithgoose5124]

Plus he can web swing which is crazy burst movement

[@calebf.6806]

Playing vanguard was soooo fun in this game!!! Played all of them last night. Groot legit felt like an MMO tank 😂 I had a blast! 🎉

[@V123_5]

If anyone loves a combo fast character, Definitely try picking up Black Panther, Its not easy but damm is it rewarding chaining Combos with his ult then straight back into a combo, Amazing Mobilty and super fun

[@agnome4041]

Black Panther is so 🔥🔥🔥 Definitely my favorite so far I think. His dive is so insanely fast and punishes people not paying attention or isolating themselves so hard

[@Rizz3n]

Can't wait to play when I get home from work.

[@wet0wl]

Despite being a five star, I’ve picked up Spidey pretty easy lol Him and Star Lord are definitely my favs rn

[@derFati1]

Man from MS more than a year ago to being hopefully independent from any game. Great Work man... Will you ever do a personal Q&A? Like what did you do before and stuff, cause you have a family now too, what were your plans 5 years ago... But I understand if this is too personal of course, wish you the best

[@thegodsea6003]

I really enjoy your insight. Thanks for another great video and I can't wait for more.

[@bryanaltier9414]

For someone familiar with Overwatch I found Groot, Moon Knight and Iron Man pretty intuitive Cap was definitely the hardest

[@Jae_JETT]

So happy for you bro. This game is taking you places.!

[@mythiccmouse6214]

Another Honorable mention is Adam Warlock. Great damage. Easily heal your teammates even some you dont have to be near bc of the linking mechanic and his ultimate is a Mercy Ressurection from overwatch that makes a respawn point for dead teammates so dont just put it in the middle and die do it when your team is pushed too far up and you need them to come back or if lets say jeff the shark throws your team off the ledge. You can just revive them and heal them back up 🤗

[@sachiellovesyou]

cloak and dagger are so fun dude, so glad im gonna be maining them

[@jemarshaw4986]

Squirrel girl needs a buff I’ve been using squirrels girl a lot. The only thing I would say about her is the acorn toss. I feel like it shouldn’t bounce around because 99% of the times it bounces around and it never hits anyone. You really have to directly hit someone to root them I feel like they can turn the acorn into a bomb that explodes into smaller acorns that do little bits of damage and if you directly hit someone it’s still roots them and also explodes like a big explosion that explodes into smaller acorn

[@ElitWolf01]

Now all we are missing is a cozygam3r returning back to the streaming scene

[@RainyGomez-jl3wp]

Hi cozy your my fav youtuber

[@totoo-y4t]

i've playing Wanda purely because she is my fav character in MCU, but I gotta admit i'm having lots of fun with her. awesome character and awesome game

[@lataurusbovan6476]

I’ve been maining magik I’ve just found to get the most value out of her I want to learn some of the harder characters in the game and it’s definitely been a bit of a struggle tonight hopefully tmr is my day!

[@FivEdits_real]

Jeff and Rocket were gonna be my two mains, so I'm relieved they are on this list🎉

[@warbear4194]

My friend who has never played a game like this picked psylocke for his first game. But he surprisingly isn’t doing that bad with her.

[@directorjake]

Squirrel Girl has been my character, she's got such a good arsenal of attacks and her jump works as a really good escape, she's just a bit hard to master

[@sunnymanlokhim]

Love yr marvel snap videos, only discover this channel now

[@dreworyan5652]

First few matches I chose Spidey & Hawkeye.. got like 2-6 elims. I switched to Iron Man and get a consistent 15-30+ elims 🔥

[@randomgamer625]

4:29 incorrect. He can but the mobility and auto heal makes up for it

[@DungForever]

I promise if you just pick a character that you really enjoy, no matter their difficulty, you'll have a much better time. I knew going into the game that I was going to main Storm. She may not be the easiest to learn but after an hour of using her, I was able to have my KDA ratio be where I'm happy. Even if you die a lot, you won't mind because you're playing as your favorite character and you're having fun. Don't limit yourself to "beginning characters".

[@Travis_NB]

Awesome, thanks for making this video.

[@Shax22132]

Thanks for the video and the information.

[@unseeninja83]

Feel like starlord should be mentioned. He isn’t hard to play and really good for beginners that like semi mid range to close rangers mostly cause his movement and flip ability that both evades attacks and reloads.

[@MrFpsdestroyer]

My main is Scarlet Witch because shes one of my favorite characters in the comics, but my god they either need to add running or flying with most of these characters

[@Senorgato029]

After trying a few units in the few hours I played I settled on magic, I’m used to not having ADS in first person but third person hard to get down so I decided to forgo the need for precise aim and pull about a huge sword instead

[@mbphilipblack8993]

Rocket, Adam Warlock, Mantis, Luna, Star Lord, Punisher, Winter Soldier, Venom and Dr Strange are GOOD, Solid even.

[@DeerUNIT42]

Thor was super easy too, quite simple. I will say the visuals in this game are much harder to get used to than overwatch, monitoring your health, abilities aren't on standardized buttons that are on different weird buttons like Triangle and Square sometimes. That's odd wish it were more standardized

[@Nemesiis-jc7wm]

Bro wasn’t wrong about choosing Jeff. First game I demolished everyone, got MVP, and got to play support like I originally wanted.

[@Randomplaceinruralamerica]

Magneto and Doctor Strange are good tanks that work best with the team. Venom is also really great for an off tank who exists to jsut mess up the enemy’s back line.

[@TheDancerMacabre]

I'm hoping they add Darwin into the game and have him be able to be any of the three roles Besides that: Juggernaut whos immune to CC, Mystique as a TF2 Spy, Nightcrawler as a Fencing teleporting assassin, and Matt Murdock wirh Phoenix Wright's kit from UMvC3

[@Footballandf1enthusiast]

If anyone is wondering,gladiator II is an abosuote masterpiece same as this game

[@Dampfriemen9000]

Punisher is a great pick when you mainly play shooter. I average nearly 30kills per game with no effort and solo Q. In my best game I got last 58 kills

[@theatkinboys]

Thank you this is so useful!

[@thanx4theclips]

“And finally he has a f***ing turret” 🤣

[@andreyvelkov3224]

Thank you for this. I like the game, but man 33 characters to start with is a lot...

[@eclipsehasgonesolo3882]

I've been playing Adam Warlock and he's just so good. Just have to figure out when to use his soul-linking ability

[@Ron__Solo]

Iron man is nasty, got 30 on my first game and that free outfit is nice

[@thegamermaks4316]

I love how Cozy just rips the character titles from their cards in Marvel Snap 😂😂😂

[@sirhcx2003]

Only played a tiny amount but scarlet witch is a really great pick

[@BryanQ93]

There should absolutely be no excuse for anyone to not try out a support character. Great hero shooter so far. Favorite support is the Jeffster. If you knock him, you have no heart

[@jboy544]

The first MVP I got was through Dr. Strange. It was really satisfying

[@Ninjataz]

2 hours till I hop on definitely cloak and dagger or Loki

[@lukehead9784]

I did really well in my first and second match with moon knight, I have been terrible at every other character I have tried

[@JordanMartinez-le5gd]

Would Squirrel Girl a good pick for a beginner? Because I’m gravitating towards either her or Punisher right now.

[@NerdySatyr]

I'm guessing Jeff got nerfed since you need to reload the heal now and you *can* get hit whilst dived

[@Phrawst25]

Psylocke slaps. Hit me up to group!

[@JJ_Sadge]

I love this game so much, this game WILL succeed.

[@Rillien5]

Correction, Jeff can still very much get hit and die while burrowed. You just can't be head shot

[@agnome4041]

Dove straight in as Spider-Man, and had a hard time until i got semi comfortable with web slinging. Would totally suggest people just pick characters that they think are cool, and accept that you're not gonna hard carry starting out (probably, maybe you're the GOAT)

[@Hitchiez]

My recommendation is just play whoever you want, If you like a character thats "hard" You'll get the hang of it, It'll be fun, trust me.

[@Sparrowhawk90]

I tried cloak and dagger once then couldn't stop playing them. I completely forgot my plan to try every character

[@FilmColossus]

Sad to say that I didn’t vibe with the game. I was a Day 1 Overwatch player. Played for 2-ish years and loved it. Was really excited about Rivals. But it…feels kind of thin? Characters felt less intuitive, less dynamic, and kind of heavy/clunky. Where when I played OW for the first time, everything felt so athletic and dynamic. Think I’ll be an observer on this one.

[@triphammerslammer3995]

I thought Thor was going to be my main. Then I tried punisher 😂
