"LOOK INTO MY EYES!" The Ghost Rider Discussion Thread

Oh jeez. Wasn’t expecting GR’s colours would be so… bright and… clashy.

All white and classic look pretty cool. I guess. sticks to default

the red is almost cool, but it looks to femme/monochrome. The white is almost cool too, but too monochrome. All the others suck

black and blue are the best.

Jeah, GR’s red alt is pretty much the exact same shade as Storm’s old alt red. Which is eerily unfitting for our Spirit of vengeance. Might as well give him a hot pink alt, Capcom. Call him Fabulous Rider.

Just kidding, lol. (Or am I?)

Wow those colors…I mean sure they didn’t have much to work with seeing as he’s always in a black leather jacket or w/e but sheesh…

Nah your nmot kidding that’s the DLC costume :wink:

With all the color explanations referencing things from the 90’s Ghost Rider comics and the meaty role he played in Jason Aaron’s recent Ghost Rider run, I was really expecting a Danny Ketch color with the blue flaming skull. Maybe they’re saving that for his alternate costume?

The best arguement I can think of for it potentially being DLC is that they might want to put the extra work into palette-swapping his Hellfire breath blue so that it wouldn’t clash with his head-flames coloration. A little more work than it’s worth just for one selectable color, but not for a DLC costume (as they’ve already proven with the difference in Devil Triggers design with Dantes alternate costume).

I figure that those who enjoyed Ghost Rider in the 90’s may not have heard about blue flame Danny because it was such a recent implementation. In any case, I hope they do add blue flames to a Danny alt (even Dormington has it as one of his alts). It makes him awesome in his own right :smiley:

EDIT: Oh god imagine how badass a Vengeance alt would be. If they were to insert Danny and Badlino/Kowalski’s bikes to top it off, that would be awesomesauce.

I was certain he would get a blue flame alt but maybe outside of the blue flame the alt wouldn’t have been disinct enough so they ditched the idea.

Outfit 1: Standard, looks good.
Outfit 2: Ode to Danny Ketch & the 90’s. Awesome, but should’ve had him with the blue flaming skull.
Outfit 3: …LMAO! OK, Marvel’s getting in on the trolling now! GR was a member of the Fantastic 4, but this is just getting ridiculous. First She-Hulk (who now has 2 F4 alts.) then Doom, now Blaze!? You know what, I’m just gonna call it…Spencer gets the next F4 outfit! Put it down!
Outfit 4: Ultimate version, had to be added.
Outfit 5: Wow…they brought back the Hulkamania look…wow. On the plus side though, you can match him with Deadpool’s new alt. color so both can look fabulous!
Outfit 6: All-Whtie Everything? Eh. Bad news is this means we probably won’t get the true alt. of GR dressed as a Cowboy. Good news is we’ll probably get his true alt. as Ghost Rider 2099. :smiley:

Bottom Line: I’ll probably use all of 'em other than the last one. The 3rd one ESPECIALLY if I find out She-Hulk works well with him…or if Hulk or Strange get their own F4 costumes. :rofl:

That’s a nasty set of colours. So instead of thinking up their own they took a bunch of ass looking colours from the 90s. And they could’ve at least gave him a white flame on his cowboy all-white colour. I think I’ll just stick to default for GR

Considering it’s from the comics, it works fine. Besides, it looks good.

My Favorite is his “New F4” costume. Good Times!

In case you haven’t noticed dude, that’s the point. All of Marvel’s characters have Alt colous based from something from the comics. Because Marvel didn’t want it to be Random made up crud.

They did this for Vanilla. And Comics fans liked the references to the comics.

Also, they already explained they couldn’t change his flame and a White flame wouldn’t work anyway.

But aside from the Flame, Danny’s look was a lot like Johnny’s standard look, color scheme wise.

You forgot Spider-Man, who now has his FF costume as a colour alt.

Don’t be so sure, we might get some of the other Spirits of Vengeance that we saw in Jason Aaron’s series. Baron Skullfire would be nice. They might even go Old School and use Blazing Skull as his Costume Alt.

Anyways, what would anyone say are ghostriders weaknesses right now?

He will have trouble with rushdown once they hit him.

Does he have trouble dealing with superjumps or teleports?

Well I mean if the teleport is covered by an assist most(if not all) characters have some degree of issues dealing with that so I don’t think GR will be any different. Naked teleports on the other hand are mostly punishable so I don’t see him having issues with those, although his normals might be too slow to punish them on reaction. I definitely think he might struggle up close once the opponent has gotten in.

Who doesnt have trouble once they get hit? Thats what this game is all about. No character gets a free out or bye unless you were playing Vanilla Haggar/Tron assist.

How good GR’s defensive options will be, will depend on whether or not he has a good j.H attack he can option select air tech with, if he has any good anti airs and whether he has any moves that push you back out and reset the spacing.

I meant, once they get past his range. In other words teleporters. Teleporters will give him problems, he will be able to control screen the non great teleporters.

Yeah characters like Dante and Wesker will give him trouble if their teleports remain the same (I heard weskers teleport was getting nerfed though).He might need a Haggar assist but thats getting nerfed too.

I love how you have absolutely nothing to contribute to this forum besides correcting people on their miniscule comic related comments. Jesus, man. I seriously don’t care.

Can’t tell since I haven’t played him, but I’d say strong beam/projectile characters. Dormammu, Chris, Dr. Strange, etc…they can be full-screen and still inflict big damage. Blaze’s chains doesn’t reach full-screen so if they can stay out of his range, they’re good.

And if anything, his strength is against rushdowns. Unless they have a Surefire :wink: way to get in close, both the rusher and the assist covering him/her can “Eat Chain!”

I hink Cap will be a bad matchup. You can probably use Charging Star on reaction to any chain move to get in for free, where Cap’s up close game will probably be better that GR’s.
