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

If you have a local comics store, you should definitely support it. It can be a great resource; you don’t want it to go away.

From what I’ve heard, Unibeam got a speed nerf, so Id suggest replacing Stark with Doom. If you absolutely have to have iron man, i think that unibeam will work, but the execution would be stricker. Dormmy mobility buff made him even better, and dark hole would serve as a great lockdown tool/ combo extender. With that being said, I don’t think you should be using assist as combo extenders with Nova. Until we get the game, we wont know for sure, but i dont see him needing help in that regard. I feel like the assist should serve some other purpose, depending on your chosen playstyle. I think your team has pretty decent DHC synergy, but I feel like you might have problems with a zoning team considering the unibeam change.

Cant wait for this guy to be a new meme for the marvel stream crowds… I just found out Novas name is Richard Rider… his name is Dick Rider, this is gonna be gold

I apperciate the response. :slight_smile: Well I don’t HAVE to use IronMan, but I really want to. His unibeam was(I believe) just nerfed back to normal speed IF I heard correctly, but I think it should be ok. The main point is actually for helping me zone and what not, but I was also considering the assists for combo extensions. Again, your right, because we don’t have the game yet, but I think that it will work out. I know IronMan isn’t considered very good, and that Mag or Doom would be stronger character choices, but I would like to keep IronMan on the team. I really like the fact that they all have the ability to perform flight. And having trouble against a zoning team? That sounds accurate. Hmm. I may be wrong, but isn’t IronMan’s unibeam assist more durable that plasma beam’s assist? I’m also liking IronMan’s new Airdash. I know it might not look to good, but I think it’s more tricky towards the opponent. OH! Btw I found the changelist for ironman on this site: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=31428600&postcount=17344 I think it’s up to date. So basically you just think that IronMan may hinder the team, and that I should be wary of zoners? Oh and one last silly question, I think I want to use the Nova Red and Blue~ish costume. Which colors should I use with Dorm and IronMan? XD I know that’s personal prefrence, so I’m thinking Iron Patriot and maybe Dorm’s new Red and Blue suit?

I heard Unibeam got a speed buff.

How do you guys feel about Nova being a anchor? I personally feel he would be a great anchor as he doesn’t really need any assists. He’s got self OTG’s, wallbounces, an 8-way air dash, flight etc. All of that makes for a great anchor in my opinion; especially when it is combined with X-factor level 3. The only problem I can see is that his supers drain red life so if you are trying to use level 3 x-factor to regenerate your red life faster you may not have a chance if you use his supers.

Your thoughts?

Unibeam got a speed buff in an earlier build then got a speed nerf back to vanilla speed recently. Guess the flight cancels with fast unibeam got too insane.
Plus Unibeam holds the opponent in place. Which is great for mixups.

Nova can go anywhere TBH.

Wow, off topic but that sucks, they just don’t want people to use Iron Man.

There is no purple.

No purple.

Why?

OT:
Nah, he is gaining flight cancels and can cancel his cr.H into any special. So special flight cancel special from cr. H is going to lead to insane mixups.

So cr.H>repulsor spread/smart bombs/unibeam>flight>dash/other special.

That shit is extremely dangerous.

Now I am hoping Nova can flight cancel his gravimetric pulse shield and javelin. Would be sick if he could.

Let’s… not go there again lol.

Check the last few pages.

Almost a hype killer right there.
Almost.

Purple magnus
Purple Wesker
Not Purple Nova.

Why? :frowning: I’ll have to use black Nova…

Oh lord don’t start that war again lol. We finally got things to calm down for a bit within the Nova Corp.

You are merely settling for Black Nova?! What is this mockery?!

Hypothetical Purple Nova > Black Nova.

I won’t deny the high values of SWAG present on black Nova, but he’s no purple Nova.

What if Nova can’t pull off the purple, though? Black and gold alt is just perfect.

This would only be gold if -I could actually get to a tournament and play there-. For obvious reasons.

They gave me my favorite MvC2 Tron color back (pink, I don’t care that it’s not purple), purple Taskmaster, purple Iron Fist, Firebrand got one that’s purple enough…

But they missed Strange, Nova, and Haggar, Nova being the one that’s pretty much guranteed to be on my main team. Leaning towards Quasar, but 00 is growing more and more on me.

Also didn’t get a purple Jedah alt for Morrigan, but I can work with the ones she does have.

I always felt like plasma beam came out faster than unibeam, but it might just be me being used to Doom…I would say just experiment with it when the game comes, I played at nycc, but im certainly not the one to come to for facts lol
