Blue blazes, he's AWESOME! The Nova Thread!

[Def_Sound]

It’s Mr. One Punch lol. Now all I need is Rocket and I have my new team that I am gonna try. Nova/Zero/Rocket or Rocket/Zero/Nova. “Can’t Wait”-Bart Scott lol

[Zarez]

No change in lights.

Hopefully he does get something by release.
EDIT: Unless that’s somehow still the first level.

[xesaie]

Lol not even a clue, apparently Special+attck is his lance move (nova missile)

Did anybody else immediately think of Cables Psimitar/Javelin throw when they saw that?

I did. I wonder if it hits on the way up…?

[Hawkingbird]

I just hope there’s a small gap between the levels. Like I would like to see the amount of red life shown above to be lvl 3. lvl 2 at the very least

I’m not sure you ever see it coming down so I presume so

[Jocelot]

Isn’t that the move where the bolt comes crashing down on the opponent’s head? Or are we talking about another move?

[Novaforce]

I like to point on that Max said he’s putting Nova on his team in a post on gaf. He said he likes the character a lot which is interesting considering the access he has to the game of course.

I’m surprised considering how much he LOVES Wesker and Vergil.

I haven’t really watched any footage except the first set of vids, so I might well have just never seen it hit.

I’d bet $$$ it hits on the way up either way.

[ShotgunLogik]

Seth said it hits on the way up…

[Novaforce]

Energy lance hits on the way up, and down.

[Jocelot]

I think down was a given, but the more you know I guess.

S-kill Transcript from the Stream

[details=Spoiler]• Assists
A - Gravimetric Pulse- front - Shot
B - Centurion Rush - Down forward - direct
Y - Nova Strike - front - direct

• S+A will launch a lance into the arrow that tracks pretty well.

• One of his gravimetric pulse special’s will create an “Aegis Reflector” type of shield.

• 8 way air dash that can be cancelled at anytime with any moves.

• Jumping S can generate a lot of hits and a lot of hit stun scaling.

• Centurion art attacks (unsure which buttons do which)
basic low hit that OTG’s.
will wall bounce.
will crumple.
one that will launch.
does a dive kick type of motion, doesn’t need to be blocked high.

• Can OTG with air Centurion Rush.

• Hyper (Super) Moves

• Beam and ball of fire hyper’s use his red life to do extra damage, there are 3 different stages of this.

• Beam Hyper, kind of like Ryu’s.

• Flame Ball hyper, like Super-Skrulls.

• Rush/Charge hyper, can be directed in up to 3 different ways

• All hyper’s can be done on ground or in the air. [/details]

Thanks for this. Good info here.

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.

seth said this was removed. his transcript says the 3rd assist is nova strike, which i’m assuming is one of his rocket punches, or the OH.
seth certainly cleared up a lot of questions i had. now i got some tech and some devastating combos i’d like to experiment with.

Was there a stream archive or something to watch? Or are all the main questions already answered?

[crimsonspider89]

There was a stream earlier. Should be on capcomunity’s stream as archive.

Nova’s assist is rocket punch, shield, and I believe the dive kick now instead of the slide.

[Jocelot]

Huh… that’s strange. But thanks for the head’s up.

[Noble_Cactus]

Seth Said like a Mini Aegis Reflector You can push your opponent into it and it can be used in the air which is pretty cool. In the Stream Nova placed one at about mid screen Jump height pretty much cutting off his opponents ability to advance from the air for a second. Pretty Nifty.

Oah!

That sounds fun. If it’s an assist, I can imagine some dirty stuff with it. Not on Aegis level, but pretty dirty nonetheless.

[TZWhiteShadow]

So wait, the rocket punch that crumples is the assist one? Trying to follow all of this is rough, he has so may options its hard to keep a handle on all of them.

[scytheavatar]

Is he going to get his mini Aegis shield as an assist? If he is I can see it being one of the best assists in this game. Tokido to win EVO2012 UMvC3?

[xesaie]

the aegis takes red life, that’d be pretty freaking brutal on an assist.
