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

Theres way’s to lessen the blow with Ammy. If you air dash and cancel that into a light attack you can block pretty quickly, doesnt replace air dash blocking but its better than getting smacked which Supers lol.

I’ve been using Ammy since about April. I try to drop her but I just cant ! lol

Nice Im going to do the same thing. Make Iron Man look like the old Magneto. Shit even MODOK is the old Magneto now.

Well the two I’ve been bouncing around were an OS video and a Burn Kick tech show. I decided to wait until Ultimate though.

I was also gonna revamp the Viper combo thread, but again I’m not doing shit until Ultimate.

Because they do in all of the videos and they make the pulse larger and cause a wall bounce… there is a ton of video showing it.

Have we spoken about how Centurian Arc busts through projectiles? if not a friend of mine showed me an example of it happening.

Yea I touched on it one page back its in the video there also… I’m trying to keep that shit hush hush, if word of all of Novas epicness gets out he might get nerfed before the game drops.

Yea lets keep his juicy bits a secret. There is a good bit to this character that is being unnoticed that will probably blow folks up later down the road. The 15th of November can’t seem to get here any faster.

heh why? Y’all gotta be wroking together with this guy, not standing across the court eyeing each other distrustfully and hogging the ball.

I think what they’re proposing is we sit on how good we think Nova will be until the game is on shelves. They seem worried that we might see a day-0/day-1 patch to nerf him. E.g. we discuss it amongst ourselves in this thread but we don’t go advertising it in the general discussion areas and so on.

I have no opinion on any of that, but I suspect that’s what they’re planning: A shadowy Illuminati-esque cabal of Nova fans trading tips in secret until the time is right to destroy all Mahvel and win every tournament with Kamen Rider Dick.

that would presume capcom goes to people who haven’t played the character for balance tips :stuck_out_tongue:

The Illuminati is always watching…

You would be surprised … everyone not in this thread seems to think he sucks… I am happy to let them believe it.

Gotta wonder sometimes :cybot:

People really are writing off Nova? He seems amazingly powerful and looks like he can fit on almost any team.

Lol, that’s what I thought when I read that too.

It’s funny how some of best characters in the game get overlooked for one reason or another.

Viper: "She’s too hard to play! Execution too high!"
Felicia: “She lacks derp! I don’t like working for my kills"
Zero: " OMG he so derp… but I don’t play him because he’s not derp enough!”

I think because he looks good and solid in every way, but he lacks ‘wow’ factor, or anything really great to speculate about.

Nova’s the kind of character who will get ton of solid play and tech, but not so much to interest people or catch attention as say Dr. Strange or PW has.

Edit: And outside comics fans, he’s relatively obscure, the fan factor is actually really big for hype.

I think the wow factor you speak is really something that’s blatanly abusable (at least in the video). I think if anyone really sat down and studied these vids for tech instead of flash, Nova and Iron Fist would probably be a lot more popular.

As an aside, LOL at all the people begging for Firebrand and Strider, yet those threads are two of the least busy.

EDIT: Grammar. I friggin hate typing on iPad.

To Add to that list…

Super Skrull. "Who is this guy I would rather have the fantastic four he sucks."
Nova "Dick Rider hahahaha his moves are like every one elses he looks boring."
Spencer “… man he sucks he only has two special moves.”

My new character tier from my impressions:

Vergil
Ghost Rider
Nova
Strider
Dr. Strange
Firebrand
Phoenix Wright
Nemesis
Hawkeye
Iron Fist

They all look pretty good, and Nova has the potential to be a real beast with the right backup. I think he will be one of the hardest hitters, and I have some really dirty ideas for that Aegis Reflector and his charges.
