Since we have some people apparently at NYCC, I’ve created the following checklist of things I hope you can please look into if your schedule permits.
Colors: What are his color sets? We know the default and color 2 (Red main, Gold secondary), but not the others.
Health: Can we get a more accurate count somehow? Does anyone know specific damage counts for certain moves (and which character uses the move) that would be useful to quickly determine this? The ideal move would do exactly 50,000 damage or 100,000 damage.
Gravimetric Pulse shield behavior: We know it hits people. How does it interact with projectiles? Beams? Instant/near-instant projectiles like Wesker’s gun? Does the assist version do likewise?
Assists: Can you determine which ones use up red health, and whether they still work even if Nova has no red health to give? This is of particular interest for Gravimetric Pulse. Seth has indicated one of the assists on the build shown at NYCC has been replaced, hasn’t he? You may be able to save time by ignoring that assist if you can figure out which one is the irrelevant assist.
Flight: How long does his flight mode last?
These are all, I believe, simple things to test that can be done on any controller and by players of even the most basic skill level. Does anyone else have easily verified things to test? Do we have anyone on the floor who can give these a try? If so, thanks for your help!
Nova is so Tatsunoko, with that mobility I’m pretty set on running him on point. Hopefully he’ll have some tricks with an assist to get around those Zero and Dante normals.
The Gravimetric Pulse could either be an amazing assist or a really mediocre one. Do we know for sure if we can power up the assist with red life? Maybe Run Nova on point for a bit, then swap him out to get the enhancement?
Nova overall reminds me a bit of Casshern from TvC. Big hitter with solid mobility. Karas was the original “invincible normals” man before Dante/Zero. LOL.
Guile’s theme goes with everything…
M.O.D.O.K.'S theme goes with trolling…
Hawkeye’s theme makes anything better…
Gentlemen I am pleased to say can now add a new member to this group…
Nova’s theme changes everything to an awesome saturday morning 90’s tv show!!!
So I Don’t know how I missed it but "All of Novas air dashes (8way) can be cancelled into any of his special moves… WTF! I keep forgetting all of his moves are air ok and that his flight mode is pretty instant this dude is going to be an airborne bully.
Either that or Bolts of Ball-Sack… I think Im going to run Nova as an anchor… Skrull on point and Rocket in the middle… shits about to be nuts people still sleeping on Skrull.
How do we know he has no problem getting in? We’ve confirmed all his specials are invincible, blow through super/hyper armor, or have insanely high priority?
