Thread 150215097

So I guess this Matt stayed in Hell to try and save people from eternal damnation, and somehow ended up in K'un L'un as a prison warden trying to reform lost souls?

But why is he Chinese now?

>>150215133
He's not, it's still Matt Murdock. The costume is just what K'un L'un gave him during his residency. Similar to how default Captain America in this game woke up in 2099 instead of modern day

That is an interesting interpretation of Daredevil. Are the rest like that?

>>150215326
Like who?

>>150215162
>The costume is just what K'un L'un gave him during his residency
It better be just his first skin and not his default, or at least give us a free classic skin for him

Is MR forced to adapt newer stories? They had to bring up Krakoa which I know is not quite new but its really new to normies.

This is like they had to adapt The Beast storyline for daredevil but they made it chinky it seems

>>150215728
Anon its his default given the context of the lore

>>150215326
off the top of my head

>Punisher takes the super soldier serum or a back alley version of it and was alive in 2099

>Psylocke is the game is not Betsy/kawanon its Sai the actual japanese ninja from demon days

>Buckys story is hes recaptured by HYDRA but its a more Agents of SHIELD like hydra where HIVE is involved and they infect his arm with eldritch squid shit

>Magneto is from a universe where his wanda died a long time ago

>>150215751
I was hesitant over chink daredevil but the way they tied to back to Buddhism where he takes on a figure of a guy who wants to empty hell and for people to repent does seem like something up Matts alley

>>150215797
Does Frank have a serum? I know Black Widow does in the game, and has stayed young until 2099

>>150215751
Yes they probably need to actually mention more modern stories part of some contract. All the X Men involved are Krakoa era X Men nothing from the 90s

>>150215097 (OP)
>>150215119
Is it bad I think the chinks are kinda cooking with this idea

>>150215969
Nah, I'm actually kind of impressed with the lore/writing they've done for seasons/characters
>X-Tron
>Queen in Black Hela
>The Doom War

>>150215751
They bring up Emma Frost being married to Iron Man with spawn room dialogue that’s pretty recent

>>150216157
Did they? I just remember dialogue of them flirting and planning a date

>>150216157
its also post divorce Storm and Black Panther

>>150215919
Widow and Frank took the same serum

>>150216157
they also referenced Bloodstorm One during the Dracula season

>>150216325
And yet Ororo is like "Damn, I might want to try again with this different T'challa" because everyone is mingling from different timelines

K'un L'un Season but Iron Fist is relegated to babysitter for odin's kid while fucking Daredevil takes the spotlight LMAO.

>>150216557
Are you really mad considering its Lin Lie?

>>150216383
its the infinity formula

>>150215097 (OP)
So Daredevil's potential costumes:
>Classic red costume
>Original yellow
>Man Without Fear
>Shadowland
>Armored costume
>The Fist
>White divine costume
>Lawyer suit
>MCU

>>150215133
china devs

Season 4 pass skins

>>150215919
Black Widow has a serum in the comcis too

>>150218316
the only good one is Dark Phoenix

>>150218498
>the only good one is Dark Phoenix
You don't even like the Cap one?

>>150218514
not enough to buy a pass for it

>>150218639
>not enough to buy a pass for it
good news it's one of the free ones

>>150215751
I feel like if they were forced to do stuff there would be more MCU synergy and the characters that get pushed into everything like Miles. Instead they add fucking Angela of all characters.

>>150220273
I’m hoping for reptil to come back in this game

>>150215969
>>150216062
It’s chink pandering but Buddhist bullshit so I’ll let it fly

>>150215119
>>150215097 (OP)
These chinks are alright this shit is probably a better continuation to red fist saga than by Ahmed

>>150215751
I think it's likely that the team asked for comics to read for inspiration, and the people over at Marvel mostly recommended them modern stories because those are the ones they are more familiar with or were more involved with.

>>150221158
>I think it's likely that the team asked for comics to read for inspiration
Hasn't this company been working with Marvel for a while now though

>>150221298
they've collaborated in creating some asian superheroes, it's where Lin Lie is from.

>>150221298
>>150221158
Yes mostly on the mobile game department one of the head devs even made Luna snow

>>150218316
Cap and Mags getting comics stuff is welcome. I feel like Dark Phoenix could have been better if more of the black was showing and less cut off by the red and the symbol was bigger. Doesn't look as evil or menacing. Just a version of Phoenix that is red.
Moon Knight is weird but I like it if it is a future/space version. But I dunno Moon Knight being more European knight looking and having bright white instead of greyish mixed with some Egyptian aesthetics is one design I'd like to see.
>>150221112
Don't know DD. What's that saga? Is it like all the shit with Blackheart? Don't spoil me as I will eventually read Miller and Nocenti.

>>150215097 (OP)
Based on datamines and whatnot, do we know what season 5 will be about or where it will take place even if we don't know what the new characters will be?

>>150221633
>if we don't know what the new characters will be?
It's looking to pretty likely to be Gambit and Rouge

>>150221633
It’s spoilers but season 5 is gambit and rogue’s marriage

>>150221633
>>150222224
also they're referencing the Collector again, so i guess we're going there for Season 5.

The best way for a character to get into this game, by my estimation:
>being an actual A-lister (most of these are honestly already in)
>being in the MCU
>being usable for themes that appeal to Chinese people
>being usable for romance, but I repeat myself
>being immensely fuckable, or having the potential to be designed as such, but again, I repeat myself
It's not looking so good for Dane Whitman... I don't even know that much about the character, I'm just obsessed with playing as knights in video games.

>>150223373
>It's not looking so good for Dane Whitman
eh he was in the base roster for their latest marvel mobile game

>>150223373
Hey man I’m never getting fantomex

>>150223373
The devs seem to be pushing their ocs like Luna Snow, Lin Lie and the datamined White Fox.

>>150223373
He's got 2, 3, and 4 by my estimation. 2 just barely, but a man who carries a cursed weapon to try and make it work for good sounds like it should fly well in China, and he has been romantically involved with people before.

I don't believe ALL of the leaks, because I don't know if Focus, Jing, and Paste Pot Pete will ever make it in

>>150224458
Paste Pot Pete/Locus season would be really fucking funny

>>150215097 (OP)
>>150215119
It's not a bad angle in terms of lore. I'm just mad they chose to adapt the awful Red Fist Saga suit for his default costume.

>>150224939
>>150224458

>>150224458
>>150225282
I mean, the leaks have been 100% accurate so far

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSObFcoVkYQ

Spider-Man is surprised someone else has a secret sister lol, MR really does their homework

>>150225282
>>150225472
Wonder if Val would be musclemogged by Angela if she gets added.

>>150225380
No they haven't? They listed a bunch of literal whos and mixed in with common predictions, so law of averages means some will be right.

>>150225792
all of these people have had their names in the game files
vice-versa everyone revealed so far were datamined before

>>150215797
Venom can't remember where he's from as he's been drifting through the time lines for too long, in the tie in comics he says he killed his Spider-Man but Penni said that was a lie, he even tells Spidey in game he knows he should hate him but he can't remember why.

>>150225840
But also consider White Fox was in the game files yet she's an accessory

>>150226080
>White Fox was in the game files yet she's an accessory
So Rocket has a Groot accessory, so that doesn't mean anything

>>150215097 (OP)
Who are the other characters that have got their classic skins?

>>150226583
The point is that it's not a guarantee

>>150215162
>Similar to how default Captain America in this game woke up in 2099 instead of modern day
My brain is so fried by politics that I read this as:
>Similar to how default Captain America in this game ended up in woke 2099 instead of modern day
I need to log off some more.

>>150225282
If this list is legit it’s nearly perfect

>>150223373
I pray Marvel Rivals gets to add Dane. They would probably a do a better job with him than marvel has for the past decade. Fuck Si Spurrier, such a garbage writer.

>>150225282
>The meme of everyone’s “perfect” X men team is the og 97 crew but adding Magik/Armor/Kitty is happening in this game

>>150225282
The amount of mutants is crazy

>>150227373
Only thor I think

>>150215969
Netease have been cooking with Rivals lore left and right, first tying Ultron to X-Men instead of Nimrod and bridging those two corners of Marvel together, and next making the Phoenix force fight Knull and have his creator admit Netease's way of defeating Knull was cooler than his own (not a high bar but still) are all good indicators of their writers knowign their shit

Rogue and Gambit are fully confirmed now

>>150215326
>>150215797
not the same but having Ultron face off against the mutants in his quest for evolution via machines is a great concept that replaces the whole Nimrod/Omega Sentinel role with a much more prominent Marvel villain, and his interactions with the Technarchy and Warlock were genuinely so cool.

>>150227373
Cap, Thor, Magneto (not this one, his original red suit has been present since launch), Psylocke, the F4, Hawkeye, Storm (her 90s outfit), Jean (if you count Dark Phoenix), and technically Wolverine with the DP3 skin

>>150227625
How does this confirm Gambit? Am I missing something? Playing cards aren't exclusively his thing, nor are his magic

>>150227739
No, but he is the most prominent guy.

>>150227739
>Play your cards right
>So they don’t drain every bit of your life force

I mean…

>>150215119
>>150215097 (OP)
based

>>150227755
>>150227764
I'm just saying prior clues were less subtle and more direct hard evidence.
>Primordial Force - Phoenix
>Mystery man that can hear their heartbeat - Daredevil
If they were sticking to that level of hinting wouldn't it just be something like "Hey did you get the wedding invite?" or something. Just saying

There are predictions the 1st anniversary will be another 4 hero drop of the X Men but which characters Idunno possibly Beast, professor X, Cyclops, Jubilee?

>>150227871
They need to start adding villains again and ease back on X-Men

>>150227695
>Hawkeye
Really? Or do you just mean the lame free fall one

>>150227982
yeah I was thinking of that one sorry

>>150227581
"No more mutants".

>>150227739
there were leaks about Season 5 being about love and featuring a couple as the new characters, and dataminers unveiled voice lines of other heroes talking with both Rogue and Gambit

>>150221436
No, it's Zdarsky, a recent DD run from 2019-2023. He only descends to hell in the last few issues though. He did that for one arc in Nocenti's run too but that was for a different reason and not brought up here or in the run.

>>150223003
I'm guessing that the Collector's collection will be on Knowhere since it is a cool and iconic location.

>>150228819
I enjoyed Zdarsky's Daredevil run, despite /co/'s raging hatred every time someone mentions they like a recent comic over an older one

If we ignore how majority of the characters arent even involved in any feasable way in the storys then Rivals got some of the most fun stories you can have. You could take most all 3 seasons so far and turn them into episodes of a marvel show without it seeming out of place in the slightest.

>>150229153
I love their ship

>>150229214
What ship mutard its just porn

>>150229256
no Magik & Luna is porn, Magik & Psylocke is just cute fanart and them always sticking together

>>150215751
>Is MR forced to adapt newer stories? They had to bring up Krakoa which I know is not quite new but its really new to normies.
The older stuff comes up in character conversations, like Emma Frost hates being on the same team as Scarlet Witch because of the No More Mutants stunt. And then there is Spider-Man who does not trust Venom or his host, Eddie Brock, at all. Then there is Iron-man and Squirrel Girl interactions, which goes way back to the first comic SG was introduced.

>>150218105
>>Classic red costume
Probably on a Season pass or event one.
>Lawyer suit
I can see this one being a Season Pass with MVP being him catching a brick thrown through the window like in the third Spider-Man film.
>MCU
Definetly down the line, as pretty much every other hero that has shown up in MCU has one

There seems to be an event for Halloween planned.

Marvel Zombie Skins?

>>150229497
Lunas snow rotten ass upskirt

>>150229479
Punisher already has a DD Born Again skin so we'll likely get Matt's own when Season 2 comes out

>>150227936
They really do need to add more villains. I'm hoping for:
>Doctor Doom
>Kang the Conqueror
>Green Goblin
>Doctor Octopus
>Sandman
>Mysterio
>Juggernaut
>Sabretooth
>Mystique
>Apocalypse
>Mister Sinister
>Dormammu
>Mephisto
>Red Skull
>MODOK
>Taskmaster
>Bullseye
>Annihilus

>>150229663
I don't think we'll get Red Skull, we'll get Hive instead since in the lore he's the leader of Hydra.

>>150229663
>>Doctor Doom
Doom will probably happen next year, as a marketing thing for the next MCU movie, they did the same thing with Fantastic Four, introduced them into the game few months before the movie came out.

>>150218316
>still no widow or magik thong skin
Do these chinks not want my money?

>>150229663
Doom might not happen since he's the big bad of the narrative

So how will Marvel Rivals save Angela from Bendis?

>>150231191
Her interactions

https://youtu.be/TSObFcoVkYQ?feature=shared

>>150231253
>on the final hit on Hela, Angela says "Sera sends her regards, vile witch."
>when the match starts, Angela says "If only Sera were here to witness me in glorious combat…"
The fact that the emoji in picrel was released right in season 3.5 makes it the cherry on top. Yeah, I guess this is how you save a character from Bendis.

>>150231253
>>150231498
ugh I thought Chinks would refuse to acknowledge the fucking tranny

>>150229663
Honestly, outside of Spider-man villains, how many iconic bad guys does Marvel have that aren't gigantic Avengers-level threats?
I feel like there's a real lack of jobber villains in marvel.

>>150231620
I'm not sure what your point is. They already added Ultron and Hela, clearly being an Avengers-level threat isn't a reason not to add a character to the game.
Also, I would hardly consider Red Skull, Taskmaster, Bullseye, Sabretooth, or Mystique to be Avengers-level threats.

>>150231850
>Taskmaster
He was introduced in Avengers.

>>150231498
I'm gonna repost the same thing I said in /mrg/
neither of this implies Sera is dead tho, it's more likely Hela had some beef with her or that they have personal enmity, maybe Sera is just lost in the timestream entanglement or simply not present in the match with Angela

>>150231982
Quit stalking me Bendis.

>>150231931
He didn't take on all of the Avengers though, in fact, he ran away because he knew he wouldn't be able to win and unlike other villains he knows when to fold 'em.

Speaking of Taskmaster I was wondering how he would fit in the game and how people get his powers wrong but it dawned on me

Taskmaster could "Copy" a heroes archetype. If he copies a vanguard he pulls out a sword and shield, if he copies a duelist he takes out the bow and arrow, and if he copies a strategist he can start healing.

People think he straight up copies powers but he only copies fighting styles

>>150232761
As expected of a guy who has Scott Lang as an archenemy.

>>150232969
I'm curious how they would implement Mystique. She can shapeshift, but she can't copy superhuman abilities.

>>150215326
Loki is more or less usual Loki, except he's actually succeeded and rules Asgard (or Yggsgard, since Asgard and Yggdrasill are one thing due to Dooms fucking around). It's very green-and-gold now, because his colors. He's done it with Hela's help, is overall chatty, refined, cocky, seems to be into Storm and Emma Frost. Notably lacks in MCU Loki's tortured meowmeow aura beyond a few interactions, which is refreshing. Mantis calls him out to be that, though. And they are a canon ship. He also basically calls himself a tumblr sexyman.
>I am wily, unreliable, vindictive…and yet oddly compelling. Don't you think?
Beyond that we've got like a few interactions highlighting that he's a fairly concentrated and standard Loki.
>Magik: Have you considered, like, not scheming to usurp the throne of Asgard?
>Loki: I consider many things. But not that.
>Magik: Seriously? You never thought about letting it go?
>Loki: Asgard will be mine. If it takes an egomaniac mortal destroying timelines to make that happen, so be it.

>Peni Parker: Loki! Are you a good guy today or not?
>Loki: I am here to defend the Web, just as you are.
>Peni Parker: You didn't answer my question.
>Loki: To battle!

>>150232282
I'm not Bendis no, I just happened to see the exact same message posted here as on /mrg/ and it was a reply to my own post so I had to copy paste the same response lmao

>>150232969
>>150233750

Not a bad idea for Task Master he can just pick archetypes for the 3 roles and we gotta see what they do with Rogue to see if they can do copy powers right
