News roundup

Upcoming skins include Future Foundation, various Ulton-Infected, Yggroot, X-Tron, and a new Storm skin inspired from Peach Momoko Ultimate Storm

Next Season after Krakoa will focus on Knull. Possible Symbiote skins to accompany it

Next 2 characters hinted to be Jean Grey/Phoenix, and Captain Marvel

Voice lines have been found referencing both Rogue and Gambit.

Are they getting out of hand with the X-Men content? Could Spider-Man's Sinister Six help even out the cast?

What if Reed was a hipster?

"Susan! We'll be late to the rave in dimension 64689-A!"

Carol incoming

Finally a reason to install

how comic-book friendly is Rivals so far

Arrako (formerly Mars) being Ultron'd / Ultron fusing with Cerebro(interesting takes that never happened in the Krakoan era)

Ultron Mark One is on the new map

Ultron mentions Jim Hammond to Johnny Storm

Where is Blade?

Dracula's gay baby jail

We talking references? Okay. Stuff that comes to mind

Captain America and Namor talking about their old school WWII Invader days

Emma hearing Groot's thoughts, which are far more articulated

Bats the ghost dog in The Sanctum Sanctorum

Janet Van Dyne's fashion line advertised in New York stores

Torn between wanting Carol ASAP or wanting her and Rogue launching in the same season.

Voice lines have been found referencing both Rogue and Gambit.

Means nothing. We've had Blade and Morbius callouts and they're still not playable.

Are they getting out of hand with the X-Men content?

X-Men is a Marvel property and I'll not dignify your weaselly Smash-Fire Emblem comparison with an answer.

Daywalking.

So what are they doing with Ultron's face? Clearly it's not stuck in the comics le scary face, but I don't know if it's also trying to be MCU Age of Ultron with the uncanny almost-human face.

Means nothing

we had Emma's lines before

To be specific, voice lines of CONVERSATIONS between those two and other characters. We're not talking about an offhand Morbius reference that means nothing, but an actual exchange while in the spawn room. They talk about Rogue and Gambit being married, Rocket asks Remmy to take part in a heist later, that kind of thing

Anon it's clearly meant to invoke comic Ultron. The only somewhat MCU Ultron thing in its design is perhaps the chest

nah, the cheeks are definitely inspired by Ultron having similar circular cheeks in his mouth (through they're not orange in the MCU)

nah, the cheeks are definitely inspired by Ultron

MCU Ultron didn't invent the curved mouth design, you casual

Captain Marvel

Captain

Replace whoever that is with Cyclops. Carol Danvers in high leotard cut or bust.

It's pretty clear they at least took inspiration from the cheek detailing in the MCU, even if they made it orange to fit the usual orange/red/pink mouth colaration for comic Ultron.
Comic Ultron's mouth is either a flat color or a Kirby-crackle (or something insipred by it).

would it have been too hard to just give reed the future foundation design

Got to be honest, I love Rivals and how it plays and the costumes… but they really got to stop messing with the comic costumes. I mean, what’s with the weird shit on Reed’s face? They really couldn’t just keep it simple?

NetEase art team can't just leave a design alone. They have to make it "theirs" in some way. Look how bad they butchered Joe Fixit.

new updated lines with Hawkeye and Natasha

Yay! :3

Blade was in the alpha

When's Angela?

100% they're going to mention the whole coma thing. Well Carol be the first flying vanguard?

They probably planned a year's worth of content out a head of time. At least in terms of voice acting.

I heard that you can't have characters under 18 because of having realistic gun user characters in the game. Also a number of these people are moveset clones of someone more popular.

Cho is the only one here that has a solid chance of actually being put into the game and that's only because he's Luna's bf and NetEase wanks Luna

Milesfags deserve Spidey lord on their team 24/7. Considering the fact that Spidey and Peni Parker no longer have the symbiote teamup with Venom starting in S2.5 then neither do Miles. Kill yourself Bendisfag.

Amaranth was in the game code

It’s them! The Poochie Avengers! With Marvel Editorial on their side, they can make any book underperform!

Still tired from getting buck broken by Drac nightly.

But Peni is in the game

I'd say Kamala with either powerset has a decent shot

She is 18 years old in it.

literally only one of those is a good character, two if you still count cho despite the assassination becoming CHulk was for him

I want Miles, Riri, Kamala and Viv.
