Kar, I may have to steal your formatting. Thanks for that.
Both Seth and Max have said several centurion arts are safe. It makes doing unsafe mixups and canceling them into arts worth it. Plus, those fly/unfly cancels! I’m terrible with flying characters though, so I will really have to level up with Nova.
Where is nova from I thought nova was from silver surfer?

“Super Nova” (UMvC3 Nova Theme)
Lyrics by Kalyx triaD
(Just match lyrics to the lead riff. I know this is not normal, but none of us are normal!)

Nova, never backing from action he’s
Nova, the protector of galaxies
Justice and honor - hero of the Nova Corps
Nova, wields a power you’ve never known
Nova, with his armor his power grows
Evil won’t stand a chance against the Nova Force
(bridge)
A Super Nova, heroic light in the dark
No matter where is, the fight - he won’t be far
A Super Nova, the Human Rocket will soar
We have New-War-ri-or
A Super Nova, see the Centurion might
Winning the battle, he’ll leave - a streak of light
A Super Nova, Secret Avenger of peace
Whenever needed, bring it - and lead to victory

With the music giving me an SNES 90’s vibe, I harkened back to Saturday morning cartoon themes. Cheesy, catchy, and gets you ready for 22mins of animated action.
Is the 400k an actual figure or did you come up with it?
Words cannot describe how much I love this.
That’s so catchy it hurts. I love it.
I guess I’m the only person here who doesn’t see this godlike unstoppable killing machine when I look at Nova. All I see is a moderate speed, linear character with decent-ish damage and a gimmick where he kills himself for you. Like a slower magneto without the ranged options, or Iron man without unibeam and easier combos, or dante with no projectiles or teleports. Or storm with worse utility hypers and no ranged game. cough
Pretty straightforward. Means it looks unsafe as fuck but can’t be punished very easily.
He’s got a ton of options those characters don’t.
Seth said that the maximum level of his beam with red life does as much as level three. So yes about 400k without XF is correct.
Nova has two overheads, a aegis shield that gets bigger as he takes damage, most specials air ok as are all hypers, fly cancelable specials, fullscreen OTG, a j.S that gets him to the ground quick, crumple and wallbounces, an overhead, and his own charging star with projectile invulnerability as well as a tracking projectile that will give him some positioning. Nova looks sick.
Do you think the Aegis Shield will be worth using his red health for? Especially since it means more damage, it might not be wise to use it if Nova is your anchor. On point/second slot, it seems a lot more practical.
Depends on the situation if I still had 50% life left then I would definitely go for it. It lasts a lot longer and has more Durability… I could see it being very advantageous to get someone in the corner and put a larger shield over their head and rush their shit down Hard. I have been thinking about a lot of his applications and situations where certain things might be useful but as of now its all theory so I wont share until I know if it is viable or not.
Thanks. When I put up the YouTube karaoke challenge I can add the secondary vocal portions. One person on the Facebook wall already mentioned singing it. Should be cool to get a full production!
I see the next Spencer, which to me is a good thing. Means some HYPE is coming with him.
I dunno if I’m just crazy, but I’ve noticed people stop looking at the first post after a while for character threads. Karsticles’ outline seems like a lot of work for stuff people tend to stumble upon eventually. When it comes to character threads, you only really need the basics (ie specials, supers, command normals, assists, couple vids).
…In my opinion.
I REALLY want Dante and Nova to be the new team Best Friends for Ultimate now, lol.
Spencer seems like a “perfect” character to be in terms of balance and overall appeal. He’s a great character, but not OP, but not crap and not “derpy”. I really hope Nova is like Spencer in that regard (if my assesment makes any sense).
I always like Spencer because he has ver simple easy to understand tools that can be applied in a variety of interesting, and naunced ways. Those are the best character designs.
I actually think Nova/Dante will be pretty good. You can probably do Zero type combo enders as jS causes a hard knockdown.
I wonder what assists would work for a team like that? Probably between Jam Session and Weasel Shot.
It depends largely on what your third character does. For example, I see the potential for evil with Nova/Spencer, since I’m using the slant shot with spencer, Jam Session covers the same angle, I might opt for weasel or crystal just for the flexability it would give me in neutral situations.
For some reason I think I’m gonna try putting him on point for my MODOK team. Maybe with Doom or Task or strange or RR (if he looks nice) in the back.
I was hesitant about using Nova ( not really ), but after hearing from an official source that he’s the most strongest, I’m definitely going to be running him in all my teams.
