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

To be fair, GL is one of the two DC heroes I like, along with Batman. It’s just that Marvel is so much better than DC in almost every way. (How’s THAT for starting a war? :razzy:)

Depends ENTIRELY on which GL we’re talking about…

Yea, I’d like for them to bring back Star-Lord as well. He characters design is too good, from looks to his personality

this is very ture

anybody is > kyle raynor

Im really curious as to what nova’s colors are gonna be, hopefully capcom represent.

Yeah, my color choices for my team are hinging on the reveal. Does anyone know when it’s coming?

Anybody>John Stewart. That guy is boring. And no, it’s not because he’s black.

DoctorNormal: It was supposed to happen during NYCC during the character exhibitions. It slipped Seth’s mind, and we had trouble asking him due to the stream chat being flooded in “MEGA MAN!!!11one” whining.

ForeverZero: Come now, what do you have against the host of The Daily Show? He is a funny man and I en-- oh. Wrong J. Stewart; sorry!

Isn’t cuz every second thing that comes out of his mouth is about how he used to be a marine? We get it John, you served. WE GET IT.

What?! John Stewart is too good. I’ll take any lantern over that Hal guy, however

Dammit. They give the non-crazy Mega Man fans a bad name.

Hal’s cool and legenday…but really shallow.

Guy is fucking awesome…use to be an asshole, but they downplay that now. Probably the best GL.

John’s pretty stern and boyscott like…no personality, unless he’s with someone.

Kyle is, if not the first real down to earth GL to have thoughts and emotions…earlier stuff was good, but he was really whiney. Gotten better though.

So unless one GL is partnered with another GL…they seem blah. Except Guy. :slight_smile:

Anyway, we’re supposed to be talking about Nova. Query: Does he have any weaknesses that have been seen so far? He has a strong air game, can approach easily, has lots of tools, does big damage… the only negative I know of is his maybe relatively low health.

They said health is average at best. I think it’s attributes will be identical to Skrull: 1million health and 72,000 damage probably

One of our posters a few pages back was able to do some analysis work and figured out Nova has exactly 900k health

Someone else at NYCC today said that his dash “travels fast but has slow start up” . I really hope his c.L is 6 frame start up at most~

He has that iron man decelerating type of dash. His health isn’t too big of a concern, He is just a solid battery and good anchor. I used almost no meter all weekend, and I easily took out most teams. His normals don’t have too much range (not iron fist short lol), but his standing mp is decent

Decelerates for the ground version also right? How did it feel to approach with that?

How do you think he fares against Vergil/Strider/New Doom/etc?

I was wavedashing with him, so I didn’t find it too annoying. I play Chris, so you might wan’t a second opinion on the ground dash lol. The air dash however was just as advertised, like Iron Man, but with Magneto speed, sorta.

As far as the new characters is concerned, people were a bit too giddy on Vergil. He was easiest to play, so alot of folks were showing off with him, but I think Nova wont have a problem with him. New Doom is just like old doom in that he still needs help getting in. I feel like gravimetric pulse does wonders for keeping people off of you. I played a few ghost riders, and halted their movement quite a bit. Didn’t really see too much strider, but we hit harder than me, so yea lol. Phoenix, however, is a problem. I swear…“looking for evidence” being an actual attack that hits is so annoying. I got hit with that like 4 times. I spent most of my time doing wall bounce combos into nova force super, and most people died. I killed hulk in like 2 combos, i have some footage of me messing around with everything that I can put up soon

I ran Chris/Nova/Doom(Dante) most of the weekend, so I did alot of sitting in the corner lol
