I don’t know about ‘generic’ and ‘no redeeming qualities.’ He has a Rider Kick (example, first 30 seconds of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2adfiMX6gE ). Yes, I am nerding out for this and his is a Special rather than a Hyper, but it was one of the major reasons I was so happy to see him.
Damn Redbeard you’re going in on this guy and everything, but sadly he just wants attention and you’re giving it to him.
I think he wins at the end of the day. : /
Fuck the more I look at him the more stupidly solid he seems. Nothing fancy, no tricks, just in your face with straightforward specials that cover all the angles and the ability to land a full combo off of anything.
I feel like he’s going to accelerate to the top of the heap right away, then taper off once people learn his tricks, then explode again once someone comes around with new tech. In a lot of ways he makes me think of an overall stronger Spencer.
Just got on the site and heard the news. So gentlemen: where do I sign?
I like the pairing of Nova and Wright. Nova looks to me like he was designed to be a really strong (if not a little generic) MvC character, while Phoenix is supposed to just be completely out there.
Nova’s looking really solid. While I also wish that he had some regular ground based beam special, the rest of his moveset fits his character really well.
The real draw to him, from what I see, is that he seems to be really well-rounded. Three useful Lv.1 supers, flight, fast specials, combos from ground throw, damage seems pretty good, etc.
Haha I know right. I totally took the bait. :bluu: You should have seen my post before I trimmed some of the less “Hulk-like” smashy bits out.
Gravimetric Blast is small if you don’t sacrifice alot of red hp it seems.
The day All of the now infamous leak I said I was going to make Nova work and thanks to capcom it looks like they beat me to it. This dude looks really “Solid” (that word seems to fit him best) No quirky dumb shit just a serious ass kicking character… His flight mode seems pretty damn godlike also that air to ground diving punch he does to haggar is pretty sexy… two whiffs then that punishing move almost seems like… nah I will wait until further video evidence before going off on the deep end. Nova just looks boss.
Watching the stream, got some info.
One of his alt-colors is red primary with gold secondary.
One of his assists is Gravimetric Pulse.
Another is Centurion Arts
Another is Nova Strike
One of them is him flying forward at standing mid height level, fist forward. Is that Centurion Arts, or Nova Strike?
He’s got a dive kick. Dive kicks are top tier level stuff for Capcom.
Yea watching Stream Gravimetric Pulse with red Health used = a Shield.
Nova’s Assists:
Alpha: Gravimetric Pulse
Beta: Centurion Rush
Gamma: Nova Strike (Rocket Punch forward)
Nova is the character I was most exicted for. I like how they made him into sort of an aerial bruiser. It works. I’m sure there’s more than meets they eye, though.
Sort of like this?
Hype as fuck if so.
The human rocket super only does it’s follow ups if the first hit lands. And that concludes my stream-watching because the quality is unbearable.
They are working on it…
Edited to add… I saw an :df: air Dash… 
we in there!
Also Novas Chest plates can glow more intense I have no Idea why but they do… Grrrr I have so many Questions.
Well going out on a guess I think it may be due to his red health bar. since you can get benefits for using your red health
Nova losing red health for some of his moves/hypers feels like a gimmick that will only serve to drop him down the tier list. What’s the point? Do we really think they will be that much better/higher priority/more damaging than the moves of the regular top tier? Do the moves turn to ass if he doesn’t have red health, ie what happens when he’s on point?
