Combined fresh start, FFH, superior, tasm 2, antivenom and upgraded classic

Not a big deal at the end of the day. But rival’s mcu design would lead you to believe the liberties they took with the adapted suit was because mcu designs would still need to fit a rivals art style, whereas one look at this guy’s mod will tell you nah that isn’t necessarily the case.

While the skins that are inspired by suits from other media obviously can’t be 1-1 renderings given they have to fit within the confines of the marvel rivals art style, I think the distinct identity of spidy suits lie in their lenses, which is why it doesn’t look quite right to me. The lens shape is angled similarly to rivals default skin. So it just looks like rivals spidy wearing the BnD body suit. I don’t know if I’m articulating this right, so I added an edit I made of Tobey Maguirre’s skin to kind of visualize my point. I swapped his lens with Andrew Garfield’s and would argue it gives the suit an entirely different look.

TLDR, I wish the devs stayed true to the lens shape of the suits they replicate from other media

As a melee player mainly, Starlord made me realize—and Cyclops confirmed—it’s not that I don’t like poke characters, I just don’t like their general lack of mobility. This mfer makes me feel like an sci fi 80’s action hero zipping and zapping around #AllHailTheClops

The dev’s thought process for which skins get legendary treatment with all the bells and whistles of vfx and recolors nearly feels as though they aren’t true fans of Marvel. Lol, I know that’s a crazy claim to make but holy shit. You’re telling me iconic suits from the comics like DD’s Man Without Fear and Spider-Man’s BLACK SUIT aren’t legendary but a luna race car skin and a college professor sue skin are? And don’t pull the larger customer base card because spidy players collect skins like infinity stones.

Coulda made his billy clubs white or wooden. Coulda given him white smoke instead of flames and a smoke dome for ult. Coulda gave black suit spidy tendrils in during ult, darker voice-lines (if you think thats overdoing it, see: lady loki) and a symbiote taking over emote (bully maguirre still cool though).

It’s like the character art team all main sue, luna and psy, and spend their free time workshopping skins for them and every time the lead game designer tells them they need to make another insert character comic skin he’s met with groans and rolled eyes. DD’s man without fear skin literally has the default clubs holy shit. It is the epitome of “Here damn”

Replace GOHT/uppercut with venom abilities I guess.

He could probably have a midrange lighting bolt or something.

I really really don’t want a situation where they give him less swings to compensate for his damage being higher than peters in his other abilities

In fact I only really use wall-climbing when not in combat: to set up ambushes or to cover more ground quicker while I wait for swing cooldowns. I think we’re long overdue for a QOL buff to his passives.

That felt REALLY good. (also did my uppercut no reg?)

Have you seen the quality of quickplay’s matchmaking??

I LOVE how the outcome of matches are near predetermined because THEY get minimum level 50 teammates and I get a stacked team of max level 12 post-lobotomy patients using the common room playstations,

I LOVE watching my level 4 thing jog headfirst into a full team to blow up again and again and again,

I LOVE when the enemy team having their way with us uses text chat to rub it in mid game AND post,

and BOY OH BOY do I SPRING WITH GLEE when my mirror match types insert mirror character diff in chat KNOWING they lost every isolated 1v1 and my teammates likely bots (HAVE TO BE)

I LOVE HOW COMPETITIVE IS DEAD IN MY REGION FORCING ME TO PLAY SHIT MATCHES ON QUICKPLAY OR USE SERVERS THAT’LL SHOOT MY PING UP AND MAKE ME USELESS IN THE GAME ANYWAY

I’m taking a break.

I mean they made his kit, so obviously they must’ve known the steep learning curve to be able to viably use him in higher elo, especially given the 5 star difficulty rating they gave him. But looking at how much the playerbase has evolved how they utilize his kit makes me wonder if maybe they took his kit further than even the dev’s intended design.

I mean if default settings are an indicator of how they expected players to use him then he’d only be good for cleaning up half hp targets which means voice comms would be near required for coordination, and solo dive would be out of the question. Spastic simple swing, inability to bhop, GOH and GOHT binded to the same key.. like there’s no way they thought he should be played like this right? And if that’s the case, why the hell did they make his default settings so.. painful to use?
