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

Im going to have two set ups for Nova one with him on point… just to stir up shit and One with him as anchor… Just because I start a character out on point that does not mean thats where they are going to stay. I have this really fun (Cheap) Tactic I use by having Thor as my second character.Crossover Mighty Smash generally gives me a free character kill… Also I think Nova will be great in any position, as anchor I can see him dropping your opponents morale easily… Imagine running through Nemesis and Wolverine in about 20 game seconds then switching out to Rocket to Troll hard… (its going to happen) November cannot get here quickly enough.

There won’t be DLC colors and the costumes won’t have alt colors, just like last time. So no Supernova color alt.

So, what’s the consensus so far on how Nova’s looking as an anchor? I know we haven’t seen too much yet, but I’m sure there’s some good educated opinions out there. I’m hoping a Wesker/Haggar/Nova team can serve me well.

It’s been less than a week and I’m already losing Nova hype. I EVEN PUT FIREBRAND IN MY SIG TEAM, HELP ME!

for those who are thinking that nova’s shield assist will be good vs zoners everyone must remember the eternal hsienko gong assist debacle of 2011

ps nova anchor sucks

Nova is gonna wreck shop as anchor.

Kl’rt says come at me galactic bro

Skrull is one of the few characters who can fit anywhere, and is really underrated. Nova on the other hand, I agree with Honzo.

I’d like to hear more about this. Can you be more specific? I so rarely see Hsien-ko players, so I don’t quite know what you mean with that remark.

I’ve always saw Nova’s Pulse assist as more of a setup assist like Trish’s Peekaboo but probably better for offense, need to know it’s durability though. Does it get blown up by standard projectiles?

And as solid as anchor Nova sounds, him being backed up by a good assist sounds even better. Still thinking what that assist should be. Haggar’s Vanilla Lariat would’ve been perfect

Nova, like Skrull, seems like a solid anchor, but will just tear up teams on point. Comparable to Spencer.

just my opinion.

When hsien-ko was first announced everyone was hyped about her gong assist thinking it would be really good for combating zoners and such. As you probably know, of the few people who play hsien-ko, there isn’t a single one who uses the gong assist because it just wasn’t as effective as people thought. With that said I do think nova’s barrier is gonna be more like modoks than hsien-ko’s, Im yet to see how long it lasts as an assist but Im gonna assume it lasts about the same amount as it does as an assist which isn’t bad considering it has a hit-box. Only time will tell of course.

I’m thinking (all subject to change)
Skrull on point
Rocket Raccoon on second
Nova as a anchor

god i hope RR is good I really wanna play him

I’m pretty sure Spencer will be Nova’s BFF, I’m not fully sure about the final slot yet. I’ve got idea’s though.
