I just want to correct something I said earlier about the assists it turns out he doesn’t have the low hitting one, Seth was saying he used to but they replaced it with the dive kick one. I’m assuming the other one is just a straight rush.
Sorry to clutter the thread with this, but testing whether I can even log in or not. SRK’s interface keeps telling me my IP has been banned, unsure why since I’ve done nothing to provoke that…
Edit: Well, it went through that time. It randomly decides I’m banned sometimes, however. Weird. If a moderator sees this (I’m having trouble navigating because there’s about a 70-80% chance a page will refuse to load, telling me I’m banned), I am requesting help. My email address in my profile should be current if you need to speak to me there.
I feel like if I run Nova, I’m obligated to run Raccoon as well.
Nova looks fun though, liking the Falcon punch
I really want to know his assists because he’s going on my team for sure, along with Ghost Rider and maybe Hawkeye.
Same here.
Same here.
Was a Temporary glitch in the Matrix it appears to have been corrected.
“Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s Richie”! Even his tag-in quote is awesome.
I didn’t get to see the stream but can anyone confirm if Nova Ping Pong is safe?
lol when he says “just pulling our sticks out” Im(naturally) thinking some joke about how unity dudes are sitting there circle jerking and then dude is like “not like that, get your mind out the gutter”. Shit was so funny because it felt like it was directed directly at me.
Archive baby http://www.twitch.tv/capcomunity/b/297396243 and shit looks mad unsafe on block, it might turn out to be, but it doesn’t look to be the case.
27 minutes in, perfect screen!!! My life is now complete.
Its definitely not safe on block but it looks to be projectile invulnerable so … you can just about guarantee a hit if someone tries to beam or projectile super you.
Nova is #3 on my hype UMvC characters list behind Firebrand and Dr. Strange.
I love the otg after ground throw capabilities.
He has some crazy fast dashlike specials… I hope he has decent frame advantage on them.
Watching the archive. I had a HUUUUUUUUGE list of updates/confirms for the thread and Nova, then it got ate due to SRK bugging out. I’ll write it up after the archive again.
Sweet. Back on topic, have we seen how Gravimetric Pulse (shield form) interacts with projectiles? The video Viktorkain found clearly shows it interacts with the opponent’s hitbox as per Aegis Reflector in 3S, but no clue about projectiles/beams as far as I’ve seen. Are we just left to assume at this point it negates them, or do we have something more concrete?
Looking forward to it, and in case no ones mentioned it yet(Im sure y’all know but w/e) nova is pretty confirmed to have a low assist.
ok so assists are dive kick, gravimetric aegis, and…?
wondering what the three powerups are in detail.
is it optional if you wanna sacrifice your red health for his buffed supers? in the vid, he did nova inferno and max nova without losing his red life. do inferno/max nova even get buffed versions or is it just beam super?
I’ll do it anyway.
Things we know about Nova:
Strong normals.
Pulse removes red bar HP, and can be used like a wall (Aegis reflector).
3 level 1 supers.
Nova Ping Pong has large start up invincibility, but does look unsafe on block.
Beam super can punish pretty well.
All supers usable in the air.
Centurion arts look like they can be charged.
Centurion arts come in wall bounce, crumple, and OTG.
Hits like a mac truck.
Has 8 way air dash, and flight.
Has Dive Fist. Ten times better than Dive kick! (Not really).
Seems like Centurion Arts can be canceled, or cause tons of hitstun/floaty hitbox properties. IE: Doing it in the air allowed Nova to follow up with a dive fist.
Assists are, Pulse, Centurion arts, and Nova strike. (I’ll update which each one does soon, or someone can just tell me. :P).
Has lowish health. Going to say 850k.
Can hit confirm from almost full screen, into decent damaging combos.
Can combo off his throw with ease.
Feel free to add.
Realplayer: The other assist is a sliding kick along the ground. It looks a LOT like Captain Falcon’s down-B in Smash. Not sure whether the assist version hits low and/or hits OTG or not, however.
The Beam and Nova Force do as well as Gravimetric Pulse (Still no clue what it does to pulse) … Im guessing thats why his chest starts emitting energy at certain points in the match to give you a visual clue on what stage power up you would have… not sure just a guess.
Ok, so apparently Nova’s beam hyper can use his red life to get three different buffs. Only one Seth mentioned outright was being able to boost the damage of said hyper.
