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

Where’s my dislike button?

Need confirmation on that command grab!

im trying to watch this stream for the seth walkthrough but i might just quit early

Well I have been watching this horrid stream and I can tell you what happens when Nova is on point… He beats that ass.

(mostly marking thread)

And the guy wasnt even using his otg’s and he still was putting in work lol.

I’ve been keeping my eye out and his red life does seem to indeed power up his moves (or maybe just move). A good contender for anchor since it wouldn’t be possible to recover any of it by then anyways?

Need a third for my Team "Isulat Sa Apoy"™. Nova might be it.

Which one is gravimetric pulse? Like what does he do? Oh and does he use all his red health to power up his moves or just a small amount for the regular moves?

Health thing sounds interesting.
Also possible quasar colours,win.

The one where he pushes both hands forward and they appear to be on fire… when it saps red health a small circular shield extend from the fire and just sat there.

Anyword on rather that is optional or not? Sorry if I missed it if it was posted earlier. Like hitting the input+s makes him use the red health?

well the fact that we’ve seen multiple versions of some of them implies its optional :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m sure it is. Most likely exactly as you stated.

Well it’s hard to tell tbh, since I don’t know exactly what to be looking for and I’m paying more attention to his movement than his healthbar as his does the specials.

Why is the stream down? Its not even showing its live, lol. Also Nova looks bad fucking ass!

He seems like he has really good options … Very High Priority forward moving specials and Very Very good air specials… hell all of his specials are air ok o_O I aint mad. Loving that Energy Javelin … wish it was an assist… speaking of which one Javelin caused a groundbounce and another just stunned like crazy … only seen two variations so far.waiting on this shitty stream to come back up.

Centurion arts i think its called hits low , and can be cancled into that overhead

i like that

Nova seems like one of those characters that you can’t really see everything he has to offer with just a trailer. Especially with all of these red health mechanics and not having a level 3 to instantly hype him up on a trailer. He looks interesting though. Looking mad Sunny D with all of those energy emitting moves. If Strange wasn’t in the game I’d probably play him.

Found an example of the Gravimetric Pulse Shield … its at the 54 second mark here…[details=Spoiler] [media=youtube]LjJ9ahXtf_8[/media] [/details]

I really hope some of his moves do end up being armored. I’d actually prefer armor over straight up invincibility. Think of it, plow through shit with armored specials while getting red life in the process, and then spend that red life on whatever. That would be a really interesting playstyle IMO if he would be able to abuse red life while not having to get beat up on.

Yeah. You can tell the vids don’t do him justice.

His moveset kind of reminds me of a MvC3 “Captain Falcon”
