[rapid bay]

I think they should definitely go back to the old season length

[sacred onyx]

[sacred onyx]

[rapid bay]

Looks like a Brood

[graceful fern]

thank you

[nimble patio]

hi

[rapid bay]

The Brood gallery card confirms that Deadpool is from a universe destroyed by the Entanglement, similar to Venom

[dense hemlock]

With what buddy

[indigo lance]

the hand with white glove and black sleeve bronze bracer?

[rapid bay]

it looks to me like an alien hand with 3 fingers

[halcyon marlin]

DEADPOOL

[simple storm]

I can tell when certain people who make hero suggestions don’t care about the narrative and just want whoever they want, like I get it but also you couldn’t try to make it make sense?

[polar stump]

just read this season's lore.

jeff helping the heroes is actually really adorable

[buoyant grotto]

Hello

[ornate knoll]

I want more mantis x loki

[gray radish]

I have a feeling/prediction that a future season of the game, will sort of adapt the recent Imperial event probably how we get people like ronan and or black bolt

Though I think this would probably be season 10 to 11 thing, still a ways off

[honest mirage]

NO. Only Magik x Human Torch

[nocturne holly]

Hi everyone. I just wanted to ask if i could get banned from using skin mods on marvel?

[young iron]

how to bind your xbox account to play on pc? please help

[rapid bay]

Maybe the Inhumans in a war with the Intergalactic Empire?

[gray radish]

That's my theory especially since the intergalactic wakandan Empire is already established so there's a framework at least

[stiff quartz]

It’s bannable

[safe eagle]

did they ever specify why?

[stiff quartz]

It’s still a mod to them

[rapid bay]

probably because models can reveal where someone is when their default wouldnt

[polar stump]

If you were there in season 0, you’d understand why. Let’s just say there’s been mods that were pretty…exposing.

[steel socket]

Bro when am I gonna get another iron fist or rocket skin im sick and tired of the same 3 people getting skins every week

[twin palm]

the favouritism is insane

[loud oracle]

Does anyone know if the phoenix fist skin will return?

-# Caprice No. 24 by Niccolò Paganini

[wild ibex]

I wanna know what doreens final lore snippet is. Ive been waiting for that bad boy for so long.

[signal zealot]

What are we suppose to talk in this chat?

[simple storm]

The lore but majority of people don’t seem to care about it, which sucks because i actually like it

[signal zealot]

That sucks… I still need to see a video of all the lore together for me to be updated 😂

[simple storm]

There are some videos that summarise each season so far

[analog terrace]

[boreal rain]

quote
Man to man:
Life will pass you by in the blink of an eye. Start acting like an adult man, stop being a kid.

[lavish jasper]

Quick summary: Two versions of Doom independently discover time travel powers through a substance called chronivium, and their ensuing battle for dominance has shattered the timelines and caused multiple realities to collide. One version where NY is taken over by Dracula (fantastic four, blade, moon knight, c&d, Spider-Man), a timeline where it's 2099 and some heroes are in futuristic suits or not dead (Peni, cap, black widow), a timeline where the x men populate Mars in the independent planet Nation of krakoa (literally all the mutants), a version of kun lun where the divine planes are entangled with heven (iron fist, daredevil, Angela), a version of Asgaard where the time stream issues have caused Asgaard and ygradrassil to combine into a chronivium powered super tree called ygsgaard (Thor, Loki, Hela), and one where wakanda has expanded to the stars and converted Nowhere into a massive galactic capital for their nation ( black panther, the guardians of the galaxy). There's also the collector and his kidnapped individuals from even more continuities like psylocke who comes from a version of the marvel universe set in ancient Japan. All these characters and timelines are interwoven in an epic struggle to deal with the threats created by this debacle between the battle of the dooms while each character and faction have their own personal goals that occasionally create conflict, all while the dooms are slowly collecting different types of chronivium introduced by each timeline for some sinister purpose. Hope that was a decent summary

[tough oracle]

Not acting like a kid I am a kid

[harsh peak]

doom or doctor doom

[rapid bay]

Small correction: Doom and Doom 2099 broke the Multiverse which caused Chronovium to grow in multiple areas throughout the Chronoverses
As far as I know, Chronovium didn’t exist before the Entanglement

Also Krakoa is from 2025 (and presumably so is Arakko) but were transported by the Entanglement into the 2099 Chronoverse

Also I don’t know where you’re getting Knowhere being associated with Wakanda is that a detail I missed?

[lavish jasper]

Yeah I'm trying to remember specifically where it's detailed but it's been confirmed that Knowhere was turned into the giant black panther head you see in one of the map previews. It might be in lore from one of the guardians or the map text

That's not to say Knowhere doesn't also exist as it does traditionally though, I can't remember if the seedy bar gambit met with rocket at in his lore was there or somewhere else. Don't have access to the game atm to double check

[feral minnow]

What is doom actually planning? Or I guess BOTH dooms

[rapid bay]

we don't know. something to do with gathering different types of Chronovium

[feral minnow]

Well what is Chronovium and what does it ACTUALLY do? If it’s the stuff that the multiverse is made of maybe Doom is making his own universe where he rules as god?

[rapid bay]

Chronovium is a crystalline material infused with the power released by whatever the Dooms did to the multiverse that grew throughout our four Chronoverses and is able to merge with other materials and energy like Vibranium or the Chi of Shou-Lao. It is also able to give the user glimpses through time

[feral minnow]

Is it possible they’re trying to merge the chronoverses before the other does?

[rapid bay]

maybe?

[feral minnow]

I’m also curious why more Dooms haven’t shown up and it’s just regular and 2099

[sharp yoke]

what is the artifact collector is talking about in the gallery card? he says its a bunch of brass pipes twisted together as old as the multiverse itself that he trades to mephisto in exchange for doom's mom's contract

[tawdry siren]

What up everyone

[lavish jasper]

Yeah that artifact didn't ring any bells for me. Seems like a huge deal if mephisto is trading that woman's soul for it since that's really the only chip he'd have to play against either Doom.

[lean kindle]

@copper valley

@copper valley

[fringe bramble]

holy moly this is supposed to be a quick summary? 😭

[lavish jasper]

TL:DR:: Two doom be dooming, timelines break as a result, and maybe the rivals are the marvels we made along the way

[fringe bramble]

HELP now i know much better now 🙏🏻🙏🏻 but no the dedication is really awesome!!

[lavish jasper]

Honestly surprisingly engaging read if you look into the character lores. If you pick one at random their story will likely mention someone else who you can then look into and soon you'll start seeing all the interconnected bits. There's legitimately SO much passion from the lore team at Netease for putting together this monster of lore together

[fringe bramble]

I love when dots connect hahah omg 😭 i should def get into reading lores again..i've been too lazy

[chrome heart]

Is there a way to read the in game serials comic im new and i dont think i can get the old ones. Im trying to understand the lore and story

[chrome heart]

Thank you for this

[simple storm]

The deed to doom’s mothers soul

[simple storm]

The deed to doom’s mothers soul

[lavish jasper]

no that's what mephisto traded for the artifact from the collector's collection. The primordial statue of twisted tubes is what we're not sure about

[simple storm]

Oh that it could be anything for all we know

[rapid bay]

yeah i tried to find what that was in the marvel comics wiki but theres nothing about it. either too vague a description or something original to rivals

[rapid bay]

theyre available on the marvel online comics subscription but its important to note that the comics do contradict some elements of the lore you can read ingame

[lavish jasper]

I think they're asking about the gallery stories, not the tie-in serials

[rapid bay]

Oh my mistake. @chrome heart they should all be available on the wiki or on the rivals website itself

[young cloud]

Where is Man and Jonkler?

[median lodge]

What is the best skin for emma x-revolution or 2099 (it's my main )

[hard torrent]

who playing for thr vibez

[chrome heart]

What is the story going on right now now in rivals im new. I understand the dooms and the dark hold

[rapid bay]

Elsa Bloodstone and Deadpool are helping captive creatures escape the Collector

[chrome heart]

Alright debating if I should re watch what happen from s0 to now what you think? Or should I just look up whats going on now

[rapid bay]

find the gallery cards online

[ionic mist]

lf for mates, got 1 teammate thats peak gm and Im peak plat, with vc + eu (18+)

[chrome heart]

Allright you have a website and are they in order

[rapid bay]

Try the fandom wiki

[chrome heart]

I found it . The story and lore is a 9 out 10 its honestly amazing how good this lore is . I know im not alone one this . Its very well written

[simple storm]

I like how consistent it’s been so far for a hero shooter, compared to ow where I have no clue wtf the story is about/going anymore

[grave hazel]

guys is there a channel for questions

[warm fog]

This gane will not let you win twice lol

[opaque spear]

When a hero dies they aren’t revived by galacta, they are replaced by ones from basically the same timeline. That’s why no one seems to have any memory of past interactions during the match

[random jewel]

2099

[lyric socket]

I thought that based off of the dialogue they just took some time to recover before rejoining the fight

[blissful meteor]

If your not paying attention the story of rivals may not make sense but, if you really read what listen and watch what’s going on I think the rivals story is kinda like a upgraded secret wars it’s really cool

And it all happens because of 2 doctors dooms

[astral plume]

My theory is Tony Stark is coming for Loki at the end of the Television series, that makes the Rivals story make sense

I do love that Marvel is finally showing there are 5 other Infinity Stones

[rapid bay]

No the voicelines and gameplay are not canon

[rapid bay]

No

[real flume]

Phn dies mid gyun

[chrome heart]

Tbh this might be a hot take or not a hot take. The storys in rivals is better then any of the mcu stuff we have gotten in the past 5 years I swear that rivals has real comic writers over there

[covert solar]

I like to think Ultron seeths everytime he dies and grabs another body in his closet or something and teleports back to spawn

[coarse sage]

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CAPTURE THE MISSION AREA! GOT IT?

marvel rivals is the Clobberin club out?

[shadow ermine]

You'd have more luck in #lfg-info ultraman_rising

[split oar]

Ping as

[lusty plank]

How do you do that new disco event? Like how do you collect points

[indigo lance]

that's it! imma compile all the evidence that gameplay is canon to the lore

1. Hela story 2: queen in black. Hela went to earth during the vampire invasion in new york to collect dead hero soul but she said "Yet somehow, every time they fell, those accursed mortals found a way to get back up again." with this it's imply that during gameplay, Hero do die and somehow get revive

2. Daredevil story 1. while Spiderman talking with DD, he said “At least until that voice in my head tells me I need to go capture another Mission Area. You’ve heard her too, right?" with this it's imply that all the Hero(or at least spiderman and DD) acknowledge the existence of gameplay

3. Special Editions: Happy Rivals' Day. Galacta literally came to earth herself. she mention about hero's costume, watching fight every day and the most importantly she said "And as many times as I’ve seen Venom shake their cake after a battle" now with this, it's literally mean that all the action players did during gameplay is really happened and also recognized by Galacta at the very least.

well i didnt read season 5&6 gallery cards, Rogue and Deadpool story yet. so maybe there's more

[next whale]

Psylocke valid for being obssesed, have you seen lore accurate yokai? They are a menace

[rugged ferry]

@modest sleet

[rapid bay]

We see that this is possible through in universe powers and technology like the BRB in the lore

[rapid bay]

yeah this is a weird one ill admit that

[rapid bay]

Galacta is a fourth wall breaker so i dont think that counts

Hello

Why are we spamming

[rapid bay]

Someone found the "brass" sculpture talked about in the gallery card! Its called the Concordance Engine. They can modify reality and grant wishes while preventing people from talking about them.

[long crater]

I wanna ask about the deadpool letters hunt giveaway, if i finished them and participate how do I actually recieve the reward?

[indigo lance]

even with the 4th wall reason, where did she observe all these happening? she also have a present there

[rapid bay]

Comic Deadpool is able to interact with the comic panels I don’t see how this is much of a stretch

[indigo lance]

so you mean deadpool not canon?

[rapid bay]

No?

[indigo lance]

if ye got any reward, after the event ended the event team will tag your name in the event page and later contact you in dm

[proven cliff]

Wonder why the season 6 roadmap says the next skins February 2nd instead of 6th…could it be for the next pve?👀

[indigo lance]

so according to the season cycle, season 7 should be New York city theme again then season 8 should be Krakoa/Xmen theme. i wonder if they gonna make another Hellfire gala season or just make it just an event.

[languid idol]

This app keeps sending me side quests instead of the main story.

[chrome heart]

I did it i listened/watch all the lore from day 1 until now. Really good honestly im invested now

[fleet imp]

Based on the current lore so far yall think doom can still fit as the final release of year 2?

[simple storm]

Doom has every opportunity to come anytime just needs a reason to fight, whether that be a bigger threat or fighting his counterpart somewhere

[graceful crest]

I dont care what happens im playing pool, if you need dps im on pool, healer im on pool, tank im on pool. I dont care if i go negative round 1 and then get mvp at the end of the game cause im instantly getting ult.

[spring pagoda]

Hey mind if I talk about the Mcu for a bit specifically the hulk and how I’m not much of a fan of the current mcu hulk?

Because considering banners whole struggle with the hulk personally and how they are always in conflict we literally never seen the resolve between them that justifies the merge it just happens off screen the arc concluding moment for hulk and banner just happens off screen and that’s the reason why I hate it

[chrome heart]

They need to bring back rage hulk hulk smash hulk. I think there going to . Cause nobody wants smart hulk. We wanna see hulk freak out

Smart hulk was the worst idea out of any idea that has idea terrible choice in my opinion

[spring pagoda]

Smart hulk is a potentially good idea and would be a great result of a character arc if it weren’t for it happening off screen

[chrome heart]

I want rage hulk i wanna see hulk destory everything

[chrome heart]

Are gallery lore books only found through the battle pass

[rapid bay]

Lore cards are only gotten through the battlepass and some events yes

[late shadow]

if another psylocke is emoting and you’re also playing psylocke the button syncs you and the other one, but in times square everyone can use everyone’s emotes

How can I report someone in Marvel rivals? I mean is there any other way than clicking a button? There's a thrower which is throwing people's game for no reason, how can I report him

[jade light]

In Annihilation, We would gain more levels in proficiency if Jeff would stop Swallowing Suss-Cide-ing us all.

[proven cliff]

Is it difficult?

[faint lagoon]

The Bucky Rivals Infinty comic has been excellent story telling so far!

[onyx radish]

Can a marvel lore nerd tell me why Winter soldier became a villain?

[young meteor]

Essentially brainwashing by Hydra, when he was lost in WW2 Hydra found him and turned him into their assassin including making him forget everything and brainwashing him, it wasn’t until he ran into Cap in the modern day that he started to get his memories back and start to undo the brainwashing

I’m definitely oversimplifying it, but it’s been a while since I read the captain America winter soldier comic, however if you watch Captain America: The Winter Soldier it’ll give you a fairly good baseline for the character

What is the max amount of units to exchange in bp

What dose get the door mean

[rapid bay]

It’s a reference to the Green Door from Hulk lore

[shadow ermine]

As far as I'm aware not yet sadly

[modest spade]

yooo somebody get the door

[lucid orchid]

GUYS DO I GET HELA GRIM LADY OR ICE PHOENIX???

[polar temple]

Ice Phoenix for the customisable ult

[polar temple]

For the last page? 1000 units for 10,000 chrono tokens if you have bought the basic upgrade, and 1500 units for 15,000 chrono tokens if you've bought the more expensive battlepass

[hearty leaf]

I still didn’t reach the end of the bp💔 how am i supposed to max it

[polar temple]

Me neither lol, I only have the basic pass and you need to buy EVERYTHING to access the last page. You just have to tick off achievements, I'd say. Go look at the achievement rewards for the four different achievement sections, and grind whichever gives you chrono tokens

Worth doing it when you've bought the BP. Also, check your chrono missions and complete them, ofc. People often don't get 10/10 redeems for the basic bought pass though, and I hope I somehow can as well

[hearty leaf]

What about the lvl converted to cts in the end of the season? Haven’t played the last season so I think that would do a lot since I’m starving for chromo tokens

[polar temple]

I didn't quite get you. CTs only carry over if you paid for them, I think. I'm not entirely sure, this is the first time I've had access to the paid battlepass

[hearty leaf]

i remember there was a system that gives you 100 cts after getting 2000 exp

[simple storm]

That was the event near the end of the season where they gave out token if you got enough xp, it’s essentially a catch up mechanic

[polar temple]

But it's not available every season, right? Also, sorry mods, I know this isn't about the game narrative

[simple storm]

They’ve been changing the method of catch up, there was earning CT from experience, or temporarily doubling CT gain before

[polar temple]

Oh! That would've been so cool to have now, it's frustrating having to be stalled by the game constantly when I just want to progress my BP

[weary sable]

wait i have a question. ive been playing on my rivals acc for ab a monthj on pc. if I do cross prog do i lose my pc stuff or keep it along with my old stuff

[verbal phoenix]

Guys sometime after professor X is released they should have an illuminati themed season adding black bolt and some illuminati enemy, maybe the skrulls/super skrull

[true iron]

Couldn't Professor x just use his power to make himself fly or stand? Or even grow his hair back?

[verbal phoenix]

He has mental powers not telekinesis

[true iron]

Make himself think he can stand

Also if he can control his own mind then he should be able to stimulate areas of his brain to promote hair growth, and because of that produce hormones which could allow his scalp to regrow those strands of hair which were missing or destroyed

[verbal phoenix]

That's.... Not how it works

[true iron]

Oh okay

[verbal phoenix]

Again, no

[true iron]

So it's more of an illusion or fake type thing?

[verbal phoenix]

Mostly about looking at and controlling/affecting other people's minds

[true iron]

No wonder he's trash

[verbal phoenix]

Read minds, control minds, etc

[verbal phoenix]

Mind control is not trash 😭

[true iron]

Well then again he's always dying in comics so

[verbal phoenix]

I think he's died like once

[true iron]

Nah uh

[verbal phoenix]

From cyclops when he was controlled by the Phoenix

Though most of my info comes from a book from like 2020 so it's not quite up to date

[slate lake]

So it's not cross progression it's more of a multiple account type thing
so if you're just starting on console you could do it but if you have a lot of time on console then accounts won't merge together

[simple storm]

He’s been standing up for a while anyways, the statue on the krakoa maps depicts him standing

me and my mate r having a debate we did a draft. what marvel rivals team would u consider better take into consideration that they are top rank players 6 stacking with goated synergy. TEAM 1: emma frost, adam warlock, mantis, invisable woman, hela, pheniox. TEAM 2: cloak and dagger, gambit, daredevil, peny parker, magneto, hawkeye. if they verse each other on all maps what would the final score be (1 map win = 1 point)

Hi :)

[drowsy ruin]

can someone enlighten me regarding whats going on about the mephisto and the contract etc

[simple storm]

We don’t know yet until we get to read it for ourselves

Maybe hints for a new hero?

[drowsy ruin]

hmm maybe

[rapid bay]

Doctor Doom of 2099 found a deal between Mephisto and one Cynthia Von Doom
The collector has that contract in his gallery

[drowsy ruin]

huh interesting. does the contract effect doom 2099 in some way?

[rapid bay]

Just that he’s trying to discover who Cynthia is (probably his mother)

[brisk wharf]

What is going on in here

[rapid bay]

this is the lore chat

[rapid bay]

Found another lore contradiction in the voicelines
A voiceline between Punisher and Captain America where cap says
“If you’re anything like the Frank Castle from my timeline…”
This game’s Castle is from the same timeline as this game’s Captain America

[worn lichen]

the characters you play as are not necessarily the exact same ones as in the lore

[rapid bay]

Except the only other Captain America is dead

And also if that’s true then that’s just another thing against the voicelines being canon

[worn lichen]

key words, in the lore

and the voicelines are absolutely canon, they're just not all interactions between the exact same versions of the characters

[rapid bay]

Then all voicelines can be disregarded as being from different versions of the characters which makes them even more pointless than just not being canon in the first place

Voicelines aren’t canon because there are contradictions between voicelines and with the lore of the game

And the gameplay isn’t canon because there are impossibilities with the story like gambit being on Klyntar

[patent sluice]

Its all just hypotheticals

Like what 'Would' gambit say if he was there at that time

[rapid bay]

That doesn’t work with Cap then

[kind ginkgo]

How do people get early access to the new season? I see a dude with literall 2 viewers with access, there’s got to be a way mfs know that has nothing to do with streaming

[regal scaffold]

Elsa is sick

[marsh sand]

guys is the thing jewish?

[haughty current]

Wait do Ben and Alicia have Jo-venn and nicki in rivals?

[rapid bay]

Yes

[wraith cairn]

Here’s the thing

[buoyant ravine]

Would we consider that every game is a different world of the characters every time. Like sure the same 2099 version but different worlds?

The game doesn't reflect the actual comic book lore anyway and or the voicelines can contradict

[rapid bay]

thats just pointless
occam's razor, the simplest solution is often the correct one
the gameplay just isnt canon

[static geode]

is there a bug with red envolopes i cant claim them

[empty obsidian]

are servers down in middle east?

[oak swallow]

They aren’t available until Sunday I believe

[onyx radish]

Where do I find the lore for marvel rivals?? I want to keep updated but it’s really hard to when the game doesn’t necessarily push the lore out there.

[twin steeple]

anyone got a faction i can join i am diamond 2 and was diamond one usually play spidey psy invis or dagger soo support or dps but i could do tank

[rapid bay]

All character specific lore is available in their character pages and gallery cards you missed should be available on the website

[simple storm]

Btw if you read strange and invis team up lore there might be hints about what next season entails but it could be kinda vague
Kingpin is clearly involved probably as the season villain, and whatever construction he’s been doing has been disturbing the moloids underground so strange and sue are having to fight them off

Maybe we’re getting an underground map, maybe even PvE against moloids

Things new gamma lore seems to coincide with cloak and dagger, Hawkeye and psy team up lore fighting hand ninjas in the collapsing timeline

[worn lichen]

i think the underground construction is referencing the additions to times square, like the clobbering club and the disco area

[simple storm]

I don’t feel Fisk was the one that helped build those

[worn lichen]

well he's the mayor so he would be approving them

[livid prawn]

Bro why is it kingpin for season 7 like we are legit stalling ghost rider like why he has been teased for so long and he keeps getting pushed back like in my opinion white fox and black cat can wait a season longer

[rare root]

The heck

[bold bear]

💯

[visual wedge]

Get a room

[hybrid lion]

I feel like the implication from Ben’s new voice line is “no”

[worn lichen]

one of the gallery cards or hero stories definitely mentions them

[modern creek]

Black Cat is popular nobody knows who Ghost Rider is

[onyx radish]

It’s the exact opposite actually

[wanton timber]

just read the matis lore omggg loki nd her ship is sooo cute Im crying T-T......

[distant hazel]

Anyone else think Rogue carrying Gambit is the most adorable thing to come from this game? Besides Jeff ofcourse.

[onyx radish]

I need to be carried like that too 💔

[silver yarrow]

... who is ghost rider?

[fleet imp]

Any hulk lore crumbs

[modern creek]

I think he was in that one Nicholas Cage movie idk

[silver yarrow]

Hmm ok

[simple storm]

Found dead in a ditch

Almost 7 seasons and they haven’t done anything with him

He’s meant to be from the collapsing timeline like daredevil, Magik and scarlet witch but doesn’t seem to have done anything of relevance

Although in the new gamma team up lore with thing, him and thing are fighting hand ninjas in the collapsing timeline

[inland sand]

yeah it's kinda wild how underutilized hulk's lore has been, hoping for a big reveal soon tho

[rapid bay]

Watch the Ghost Rider season just not be about the Demon War

[neon elk]

anyone who doesnt know who Ghost Rider should read some of his comics

[worn lichen]

in elsa bloodstone's first story, it says something about bruce leading/rallying the remaining heroes in the collapsing timeline

[haughty current]

Which one? Cause the Elsa interaction vl kinda skews my perception on rivals Ben

[dense bobcat]

is there a good way to get free units?

[austere oracle]

Grind quests and get the free units from there, and check around events regularly, other than that, not really

[dense bobcat]

what quest?

[austere oracle]

Generally battle pass quests will get you decent units from the pass itself, and then I believe some of the quests to get 8-bit Jeff get you units

[dense bobcat]

oh i alr did those lol

i might need to beg for the units so i can get the battlepass

can people gift lattice?

[austere oracle]

I think people can gift items, not sure about the battle pass, but if ur gonna beg for it you could just beg for the appropriate gift card for your platform

[thin nacelle]

What does iron fist say in his new ult voice line in English?

[warm leaf]

I feel you, been saving up over a month to get the invis wedding skin but I’m 200 units short and I have no other way to get those 200💔💔💔

[topaz juniper]

[olive needle]

not...really

[forest aurora]

What’s the narrative my guy

[olive needle]

story

[lime marsh]

Maybe this belongs here but... Why is Jean getting a seat of spring skin? She was seat of summer. Emma jokes about there being an opening (implying Kitty or Shaw are gone?) but spring is still the hellfire company portion of the quiet council... 👀 Jean's never been a Businesswoman but I guess Kitty wasn't either (she was just there to hold Emma accountable)

[simple storm]

In season 2 there was a diagram where the seats got reallocated based on the remaining core members, also exemplified by the statues on the quiet council map. Emma winter, Magneto Autumn, storm summer and Professor X as Spring (hidden behind the waterfall)

But professor X is missing so Emma suggested Jean take his place

[dense bobcat]

ok no jokes but really cooks me is the fact that yall nerf elsa cuz the hitbox and the knock off but jeff’s ult is literally that but worse so where are jeff complaints?😭💔

[kind ginkgo]

Who ever advocated for nerfing Elsa this fast is actually a loser crybaby

New Nightmare stuff -> Mephiso??? -> Finally Ghost Rider?!?!

[chilly fiber]

Anyone know why the nightmare series skins character background logo is a heart with a cassette tape?

[solemn marten]

Dazzler mentioned.

[simple storm]

I think the nightmare skins are their own thing like the wasteland and western skins, but Mephisto was definitely already mentioned in the gallery cards since season 5 so maybe

[small crow]

All I know is that the new DS & SW skins have mad aura. 🥵 🌶️🌶️

[balmy crater]

So, I'm somewhat confused about what's implied in Elsa's lore, specifically regarding Thor. We know that she's from the collapsing timeline. We know that Hulk is also from the collapsing timeline. However, I'm still trying to make up my mind about Thor. We know that Thor was poofed away from Asgard by Loki and Hela, and he ended up with Bruce Banner. We know that Bruce, for whatever reason, sent Thor to Elsa (I know she explains it, but I still don't see why that was necessary). Where I get somewhat confused is determining whether Thor is from the present timeline or the collapsing timeline. When Thor landed on Hulk's location and fought him, Bruce Banner said that they had been looking for him, implying that the collapsing timeline's Thor was missing. This would be explained by his imprisonment by Loki, leading us to assume that Thor is from the collapsing timeline. However, during the Dracula storyline in the present timeline - when Ratatoskr lands in the city from Loki and Hela's Yggsgard - I believe I remember Iron Man making some mention resembling the same thing that Bruce said in the collapsing timeline. My original thought was that Thor was whisked away from the present timeline's Yggsgard to the collapsing timeline, but both timelines mentioning (if I'm not mistaken) their Thors being absent for a while, makes it unclear. I could be forgetting something, but that's what I've got. Sorry for how long this was. xD

NETEASE GIVE PUNISHER ANOTHER CHANCE WITH ELSA BLOODSTONE AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[boreal rain]

Question, are the characters next season ghost rider and kingpin? I read the gallery card and the “blazing” and the tease of the leader of Manhattan being kingpin

[simple storm]

Season 8 might be ghost rider, season 7 seems to be black cat and white fox with king pin as the season villain

[boreal rain]

What are the teases in the gallery card that point to them, I’m not trying to be antagonizing or anything just when I read it I didn’t get any feel for either character

[simple storm]

The one with Deadpool and the freed monsters setting up monster kingdom, next to Deadpool there’s a literal black cat and white fox next to him

[boreal rain]

Honestly I didn’t give it a second thought because of all the Easter eggs in the title card, hopefully they are

[simple storm]

Me personally, I’m not looking forward to season 7 as black cat and white fox don’t interest me enough to want to play that season

Season 8 better be ghost rider

[sick torrent]

Pls anyone can let me know what’s going on here

Rogue and gambit were due to get married but gambit was hired by the collector to steal some chronovium unless he does something to rogue? Then he hires dp to sort them out incase, then hires Elsa in case dp vreaks contraxt, then he releases all the monsters from the museum

After that what happens

4 Chronoverses, but there are more separate timelines

[distant hazel]

From what I read, Deadpool betrayed the Collector to help Rogue (because he cares, but its one sided) and then gets Jeff to swallow all creatures by growing megasize, but then they get lost in space.

So then Emma and Iron man arrange a ship to find them (I love how Emma scolds Iron man by saying "His name is Jeffrey!"). They find them, the wedding goes on back on Kroaka i think. Everyone partying and Deadpool is custodian of all creatures. Oh and Elsa also decides to support the team.

[rocky perch]

why is the update over 80 gb?

[proper geyser]

anyone wanna join afaction for the tournament?

[hybrid mulch]

What’s the diff

[simple storm]

Basically 4 different universes

[hybrid mulch]

I mean the difference between a timeline and a chronoverse in this case

[simple storm]

Not much, maybe that it’s specific moments/eras like 2099 for example

[rapid bay]

the four Chronoverses are

1. where the story and maps take place
2. where all of our characters come from
   theyre specific timelines stabilized by (probably) the Power Cosmic after the Entanglement destroyed tons others

there are multiple other timelines like the Zombies one that has its own lore that doesnt align with the rivals lore at all

also the Mosaic Chronoverse is made up of multiple timelines that merged into one

[simple storm]

The 4 I think are like: present 616 adjacent; 2099; collapsing timeline (e.g kun lun); and finally mosaic which seems to be where all the cosmic stuff and whatever extra stuff

[rapid bay]

Yeah you got it right

[polar knoll]

hi

[rapid bay]

Just read Elsa's lore page, time to make a list of what we learn about Elsa and the Collapsing Chronoverse

• Elsa is definitively from the Collapsing Chronoverse
• Elsa fought in the Demon Wars ravaging the Collapsing
• Cullen Bloodstone was bound to the Glartrox
• Thor ends up at Bloodstone Manor. This is weird
• Thor frees Cullen of the Glartrox and Elsa traps it inside Mordred's Causeway, a magical item that creates portals
• Elsa and Thor travel the Collapsing Earth, battling demons all the way
• Deadpool is able to read flashbacks and gallery cards/has an innate knowledge of them

Thor being at Bloodstone Manor explains his absence from the story. The page refers to the Collapsing Earth as "his Midgard"

The asgardians might be from the Collapsing Chronoverse. I had assumed they were from the Present this whole time from other details but it does make more sense why Angela was in a Collapsing Chronoverse season

Im gonna go read Thor's lore because i haven't before

Okay, yeah no. The Asgardians are not Collapsing. Thor describes the Collapsing Earth as different from his own Midgard in his own lore.

[simple storm]

the asgardians are either present or mosaic timeline

[rapid bay]

Most likely present id say

[eager walrus]

[neon elk]

Monster Park. im more curious who the next two heroes will be

[simple storm]

Who’s everyone’s favourite NPC?

[rapid bay]

Spider zero always makes me think the enemy team has Spiderman so I gotta say Herbie

[slim bramble]

So I'm likely overthinking this but I've been wondering about a part of the intro movie for Museum of Contemplation. When it shows Deadpool pulling up his pants, is this just another innuendo or is it actually referring to how he had to deal with being stung by the Brood Queen?

[simple storm]

I think his pants might’ve been loose or something

[slim bramble]

That feels like an unsatisfying answer.

[simple storm]

I might be wrong, I haven’t paid much attention to it or understood it much myself

[untold helm]

Probably because he was making his "master plan" on the john.

[sage agate]

guys should i get into the lore?

[rapid bay]

yes

[nocturne peak]

Reading the last page of the in-game seasonal comic, I get the feeling the next season will include Wilson Fisk, Norman Osborne Or Hammerhead. There's like, only three people off the back of my head (excluding Doom) who'd want to have Manhattan under lockdown of their control.

I was expecting a Monster Girl mention though 😔

[simple storm]

It’s Fisk, he’s been referenced a lot including the invis-strange team up lore where Fisk’s construction caused underground moloids to come up and attack

[finite spruce]

ㅤ

[slim bramble]

I want to make sure it's understood that I was not implying any offense to your answer. It felt like that could've been a possibility, so I decided to nip that in the bud.

[untold helm]

If it's really Fisk, then who's gonna be on his payroll this time?
Silver Sable? Bullseye? Maybe Crossbones?

[rapid bay]

The heroes are most likely gonna be Black Cat and Silver Fox

[keen solar]

does anyone know how to claim the rewards from the marvel rivals clash?

[simple storm]

You’re all good 👍

Black pedestrian panther

[simple storm]

I’m just saying ghost rider has practically been hinted at 3 seasons in a row:
season 4-the Stone Age avengers mural on the heart of heaven map
Season 5+6- the whole thing with stealing the deed to dooms mother’s soul Mephisto gave to the collector

The Stone Age avengers mural has analogs for current roster (minus ghost rider) in terms of mapping as skins:
Black Panther (Literally has Mosi skin since S0); Jean grey (firehair); strange (agamotto); iron fist (I forgot her name but the first one); Thor (Odin with Mjolnir); Hulk (Vnn/Starbrand).

Hulk-Starbrand would be a stretch as they’re different characters/power origin but Vnn was clearly the “Hulk” analog of the Stone Age avengers

[somber latch]

What's the difference between a hint and an Easter egg

[young meteor]

Time I imagine, everything’s an Easter egg, until something is confirmed then you could say those Easter eggs in the past were hints, but that’s just my perspective, someone might be able to answer it more thoroughly haha

[simple storm]

Gallery cards are the biggest/most reliable indicator of possible future hints, map stuff are usually just Easter eggs, sometimes they lead to confirmed stuff but usually it’s the gallery cards that confirm it

[dry berry]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[hybrid lion]

I have think the implication is he’s coming out of the museum’s bathroom (an actual feature on the map)

[simple storm]

I forgot about the toilet, makes more sense

[slim bramble]

I haven't played the map much. I'll have to load up a custom match and look around.

[simple storm]

You can see the toilet in the map trailer

[slim bramble]

I remember that but I still want to explore not just for lore but also to find pathing aside from the main cart path.

On Deadpool specifically, does his mutation also include a higher pain tolerance or is it just his healing negating said pain quickly? Idk his comics as well as I do his live-action movies, though they seem accurate enough.

I love really digging into the whys and hows of things.

[modern flint]

Suprised jeff didn't get a new lore piece for this season since he seems to be a big character

Did mantis and pyslocke either? If they didn't thats kinda disappointing since they all came from the collectors museum thingy

yeah theres multiple hints to the next season being focused on Manhattan

[spring rampart]

What do we think the next season is gonna be abt

[spring rampart]

what kinda hints?

[rapid bay]

in the description of the new Invis/Strange teamup, theyre fighting off Moloids that were riled up by construction Fisk was doing
in the last gallery card for the season, Deadpool sets up Monster Kingdom in Manhattan and a black cat (Black Cat) and white fox (White Fox) are in the gallery card

[spring rampart]

interesting, do you think those will be the next heroes too?

[simple storm]

Hes probably the season villain but not playable, a similar role to Dracula, Knull, collector

Gallery card seems to suggest black cat and white fox

[stray flower]

Was looking over cosmetics and read the Seat of Spring cosmetic description, ain't no way Xavier is a Spring seat in this timeline. There is a reason he is an Autumn Seat in the original story my friends, besides being 1 of 5 people who actually fit the requirements for that seat, and not a Spring Seat.

Storm is a Spring Seat though, so I hope she gets her own cosmetic at some point.

Summer*

[pseudo trench]

Hi

[simple storm]

In season 2 there was a diagram where the seats got reallocated based on the remaining core members, also exemplified by the statues on the quiet council map. Emma winter, Magneto Autumn, storm summer and Professor X as Spring (hidden behind the waterfall)

[stray flower]

While I do understand that the missing members situation may be a bit weird, Jean as a character is a valid candidate for the Spring and Summer seats already without needing to be stepping in for someone else that is missing, specially since there are still 12 seats, so she would be taking the seat from any of the 3 Spring members anyway, so Xavier is still a Spring Seat in this timeline, which is still kind of wild to me as there is a reason that he is a Fall seat and not liked by some characters in the running for Spring seats

[simple storm]

The meanings aren’t exactly the same as the comics, they probably used to be but they made it 4 seats now, 1 for each season so it’s mostly just to fill in each season

[stray flower]

The meanings aren't the same that is stated, Emma is Winter (Radical) when normally she is Spring (Economic/Hellfire) while the normal Summer Court meaning (Compassion) got shifted to Spring and Summer is more about balance, though it seems these meanings predate the Entanglement still due to there not being explicit mention of switching seats and Emma being in a different seat entirely, which is why Xavier being Spring surprised me, not the shifted meanings, but him being in the Kindness Club, I'd even understand him in the Summer Seat, it was just some shock.

[simple storm]

It’s mostly due to they wanted to reference the seats but unless they plan to add every missing council member (which I doubt will happen) they kinda just made up their own thing

Like I can imagine nightcrawler and maybe even apocalypse coming but I doubt they’d add Exodus

[faint lagoon]

By the way, were those little lore pieces saved anywhere?

Only on fan wikis I think

[vital cobalt]

I would like to formally request that the narrative of Rivals be considered for an animated series - thanks! A Rivals animated show that synergies well with the game would be next level and ensure more long term health for the game and brand as a whole.

[brisk kestrel]

hi is there a support channel or anyone i can talk to???

"Stay tuned, Rivals, a master thief and secret agent, collide in New York for an impossible mission. Find out more as Season 7 approaches... 👀"

yeah. its black cat and white fox

[frosty sapphire]

So... Can we assume Quicksilver and Thanos are coming to the game before August due to the new PvP / PvE news?

[neon elk]

not entirely sure about Thanos. Definitely quicksilver though. who would be the best options for the voices though?

[somber latch]

Other way around. Definitely thanos, maybe quicksilver

[slim anvil]

How can they even balance quicksilver

[rapid bay]

strategist

[slim anvil]

Healing by running fast?

[rapid bay]

yeah exactly

[simple storm]

Whilst the concept of Avengers movies PvE sounds cool I’m not sure I like the MCU synergy connotations, if its just adding heroes but still sticking to comics lore like they usually have been that should be mostly fine

Looking the rivals assemble stuff the implication is mostly the villains so the only new ones would be Thanos and doom so they’re still free to add whoever I imagine

[rapid bay]

i assume they might be adding Quicksilver and Thanos with the pve

[faint lagoon]

Captain Marvel for the Endgame one, n Cyclops for the Doomsday one I could see and maybe Ant-Man and Wasp for the Age of Ultron szn

[clever hornet]

hi

im just here to say that i love rivals and dev's hardwork

bye

[jaunty knot]

Hello

[slender wraith]

i don't think we should be too concerned about that
doomsday is, love or hate what they're doing with it, a big event in marvel's eyes and i think they're just getting the devs to celebrate it

we've already had marvel zombies be based on the show, it had the logo, the designs (almost) for zombie wanda and zombie namor, the former being the main villain of it

and if that mode's lore was anything to go by, if anyone remembers it, it wasn't the lore of the show, the way it was written was basically a way to have a marvel zombies story happen and get wanda and namor to be infected (akin to the show) in the context of the larger lore that rivals has

tbh i think when we get these modes, lore-wise, i think they're either going to be closer to the comics versions, or out of sync rivals flavored retellings of the films, showing that events SIMILAR to these movies happened in one of the timelines that got wrapped up in the timestream entanglement, but not exactly.

honestly, with doomsday i feel they'd kinda HAVE to change the lore for that one because i'm pretty sure marvel wouldn't risk the chance of some janitor at netease knowing plot details for the film and sharing it with people

and yes i'm a jessica drew fan...circa the 2000s ultimate comics that's MY jess drew i love her so much lol

ATSV Jessica isn’t anything like 616 Jessica tbh, just in name and the brief time she was with child* in comics, they made her another web slinger despite her not being a web slinger in 616, her thing is bio electricity like Miles but predates his use, maybe they wanted to keep it unique to him or something?

apparently you can’t say prgnant?

[slender wraith]

from what i can tell she's not just supposed to be that jessica drew, she's supposed to take design elements from the most major characters to bear the name

the webs from fingertips from 1610, the name, baby, and costume from 616, and a striking under the mask resemblance to valerie, the original spider-woman

is she comic accurate? absolutely not but like. i honestly don't care she's one of my favorite characters in those films and i like the inspirations that went into her

[simple storm]

I only realistically see Thanos and doom coming and they’re still gonna add the usual comic characters as in not just ones that were in the movies given the whole 1v6 gamemode they mentioned

[worn glade]

Hello guys

[slim anvil]

Hello

[slim anvil]

[exotic herald]

WHY AREN'T THEY UTILISING ULTRON WITH ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS BRO 😭

THEY ARE SO STUPID BECAUSE YOU HAVE THIS AI IN YOUR TEAM WHO CAN RELUCTANTLY HELP YOU. YET, THEY DON'T.

[muted sigil]

Would love it if they added lore that removes moonknight from the game🙏

[fresh escarp]

Hi hi

[sick topaz]

i think bro might slightly dislike moon knight

[muted sigil]

Perhaps

[simple storm]

I know I’m probably in the minority but I’m one of the few people that hopes they don’t add Thanos with the gauntlet

Like he has abilities without it as an eternal himself

An idea I had for the infinity stones was like a doom match gamemode where you could pick up infinity stones where each gave some unique effect

[versed nest]

Please keep chat contents in their correct chats. Thank you!

[rapid bay]

THEY CHANGED THE CHANNEL NOOOOOO

[deft hazel]

👀

[somber latch]

The Gauntlet is what he's most known for

It's his signature "weapon". Wouldn't want him to not have it

[storm lodge]

Yall think Thanos will play similar to Deadpool?
Leveling up to earn Infinity Stones up to all 6

[rapid bay]

i personally dont think they should add thanos

[chilly nacelle]

What does everyone think the teased upcoming heroes roles will be like
The Hood
Ghost rider
Apocalypse
Cyclops
And Professor X will be

[echo fern]

Vanguard, Vanguard, Strategist, Duelist, Strategist,

[chilly nacelle]

Apocalypse a strategist seems out of his nature unless they pull another ultron on him I hope vanguard but too good to be true so I feel duelist

[echo fern]

That's what I'm thinking

[chilly nacelle]

The L server or My take

[hybrid loom]

i will cry if ghost rider isn’t a tank

[scenic musk]

no idea, duelist, vanguard?, duelist or vanguard, uhh probably strategist

[light summit]

if u run dp in a match he says something about some new heroes or smth like that

[rapid bay]

He says that the next heroes are Speedball and Sleepwalker

[digital raft]

Hello, if you're an X-Men fan and you see this, dm some comic book names and stuff to read/watch so I can get a better understanding of the X-Men. My main interests are Cyclops and Jean, Kitty Pryde, Magik, Colossus and Jubilee, I really like these characters and I really wanna read stuff about em but I don't wanna waste my money or time searching for books just for them to be entirely based around Gambit and Rogue or wolverine or something, which don't get me wrong I love those characters but they're very milked nowadays

[viral egret]

I was at D3 and now back to plt 3 any way to brake the curse

#comics-chat

[oak torrent]

does anyone know abt bucky’s lore in game ? I’ve been reading about it and i’m a bit confused abt it. its a bit messy imo, i’m not sure how things work

in the infinity comic, its shown that rivals bucky did in fact become "bucky" sidekick of cap but in the voicelines, its also kinda implied they grew up tgthr and met before the war. is his lore mostly closer to the comics or is this like a weird mix up of comic and mcu

if it still follows mostly comic lore, does that mean bucky never recieved the serum or

wrong chat man 💔💔 i thought i got a reply

[idle island]

So they do a lil mix sometimes so it can be confusing and this is an unique universe so they can do almost whatever they want in terms with connecting lore but this Bucky is indeed more towards the comics from what I do know. But then again I don’t know too much about his comic accurate lore I’m just making this based off of different characters.

Also in general the characters in this game lean towards to their comic counterparts. Like Strange and his relationship with Doom. Or Hawkeye with Ronin.

But of course since a good chunk of the marvel audience is from the mcu there is bound to be some references

[cunning zinc]

do yall know how can i get 630 credits before the season ends?

[oak torrent]

honestly my biggest question is whether he recieved the serum or if he only recieved the infinity formula like in the comics tbh

i’ve looked around for a solid 5 hours and found nothing, hopefully rivals will share more of the lore in the game bcs i’m too invested atp

[rapid bay]

the rivals game and Infinity Comic storylines are separate so we cant use lore details from either to say anything about the other

[oak torrent]

it is ?? i thought the infinity comics are based of the in game lore/tell more about the lore ?

i only read the parts abt bucky tbh so im not aware of it at all

[rapid bay]

their storylines directly contradict each other. the comic is based on the game's lore though

[oak torrent]

ohhhhh no wonder why i got so confused

[rapid bay]

the Bucky we see in the game is not the same Bucky as the Cap in the game

Bucky is from the prime present day chronoverse while Cap is from the 2099 (2100 now but 2099 is better to say) where he was unfrozen in 2099

[stuck heath]

Why cant Spider-Man auto dodge namor turrets?????????

Namor can have auto aim but Spidey cant have auto dodge???

[rapid bay]

the Cap of the present day was killed by Hydra shortly before the Timestream Entanglement hit

[oak torrent]

oh man i just realised how little information there is to the characters before the timestream entanglement hit

[thick hemlock]

Its because the timestream changed them all. It was 616 before that

[rapid bay]

no, very not true

there were tons of different timelines before the entanglement hit
that number was then reduced to very few by timelines merging and being destroyed
Galacta isolated four of them and Doom 2025 called them the Chronoverses
there are other timelines like the Zombies timeline that arent chronoverses

[thick hemlock]

Every marvel timelime was 616, there is no different origin points than 616. The changes are always ones different from 616

[restive lake]

You are correct

[rapid bay]

....no thats not how anything works

[idle island]

Does MK come from the collapsing timeline? Because he talks with Magik about events in like Apocalypse trying to become a god or something in Thebes. Not a whole lot is given in his lore about where he came from.

[thick hemlock]

It literally is how marvel works.
Everything is a change to 616 that then becomes their own timelines.
DC on the other hand constantly changes how its multiverse works

[somber latch]

I don't believe it's ever been specified that 616 was the "origin"

[somber latch]

So who is "Sai" Psylocke. I'm familiar with the comics character of Psylocke between Betsy and Kwannon, but not a version named Sai. I had assumed it was a rebooted version of Psylocke from recent comics but apparently that's not the case?

[idle island]

She is based off of Peach Makimotos version of Psylocke but she in general is an alternate version of Psylocke from a sorta Japanese mythology universe where she hunts demons and or yokai.

[somber latch]

Interesting

The whole time I thought they were just calling her "Psy" for short until I saw it written

[idle island]

But no she is not a version in the comics she’s more of a spin based on that dimension Peach made I think

[idle island]

Yeah this Version is Sai.

[worn lichen]

a few seasons ago there was a moon knight hero story, which revealed that the moon knight in the present day timeline was lost in the timestream entanglement, and the moon knight from the collapsing timeline ended up in the present day timeline

[idle island]

And I don’t know much about this versions background

[idle island]

That makes so much sense I’m betting it was mentioned in a gallery card from 1.5 I never got those.

[idle island]

Thank you! I’ve always had that thought in my head

[glossy drum]

I’m gay

[mighty inlet]

Nice fun fact man

[oak torrent]

sai is from one of peach momokos books isn’t she not ? yeah that one is different from 616 as well

oh wait i just noticed the question, yeah she’s not the sai from 616 ! she’s from demon days by peach momoko, its another timeline

[oak torrent]

i rlly dont think so tbh, there are too much inconsistencies in the 3 timelines that all dont match to the current 616 ongoing

i’ll take bucky’s for example since its the one i’ve researched the most so far, his history to how he became the winter soldier is very much different from the 616 continuity. although most of them are similar, the differences still very apparent for the rivals universe or rather the present timeline to be in 616

[thick hemlock]

Ahh see your issue is youre thinking 616 as in right now, 616 is extremely old, its so old multiple universes collapsed and are still 616.
Any small shift to that timeline is a 616, 616 is a multiverse in itself
For example MCU is not 616 because Galactus is said to only exist in 1 dimension, there is no point where you can say "this changed caused the events of the Avengers movies to happen as opposed to Fantastic Four" its new dimensions from the drawing board.
Rivals has heroes who knew Captain America, yet Cap is from a world where he didnt wake up until 2099

[tulip oak]

wow nice

[oak torrent]

sorry i’ve been trying to understand your message but i’m genuinely confused what you’re trying to convey 😔

if mcu is not 616 then why is rivals a universe from 616 ?? especially since the present timeline takes things from mcu as well

[somber latch]

Each continuity uses 616 for its main universe

The MCU movies take place in universe 616 of the MCU continuity. The main comics take place in 616 of the comics continuity. Etc etc

Or Spider verse where the main universe is different because it follows a Spiderman variant, and 616 is the one Peter Parker was from

[oak torrent]

ohhh okqy i see now so basically the present timeline is essentially rivals own 616 ?

[somber latch]

I don't believe it was specified but it functionally is

[rapid bay]

616 is just a universal designator that multiple universes throughout multiple multiverses can share

[rapid bay]

Also, rivals most likely is connected to the comic multiverse because Deadpool mentions that he got an object from the Ultimate universe

[simple storm]

Of the “obscure” characters released so far aren’t as obscure as people first think. Like Angela has interacted with the guardians before and Elsa has obviously interacted with blade and Deadpool before, so far no obscure character has been added completely out of left field. Closest is Luna but can be loosely tied to iron fist via agents of atlas

[kindred beacon]

Spiderman is... Ben parker ?

[stray flower]

While the MCU has used 616 as it's main designation, it originally had it's own designation that was used and is still used by most fans and even some of the actors, the Movie Multiverse is a disaster in and of itself having always been present but also never been present, the sacred timeline and all that, but do know this. MCU is 199999, as was stated in the comics, and as was stated in the Spider Verse movies

The Rivals continuity does not have any formal confirmed universe designations

[chilly nacelle]

Depends what you mean by “Obscure” like Luna “Obscure” just means not many comics runs cause Angela and Elsa have had they’re fair share of comic runs and interactions if your talking but “Obscure” like many people don’t know this character that’s just cause not many people who play read or look up marvel comics or lore just probably watch the mcu

[worn lichen]

obscure might as well mean "any character that wasnt part of a popular marvel movie or tv show"

[simple storm]

The point I was making is they pick characters that have a relationship with the current roster, which admittedly doesn’t mean much as most marvel characters have met the current roster.

[onyx radish]

He could be trolling

[rapid bay]

He specifically mentions “an Origin Box from the Ultimate universe”

[quasi heron]

So... is Knull dead?

[simple storm]

The only character allowed to stay dead is uncle Ben

[quasi heron]

I mean, is he dead in the story of Rivals. We know Hela went to jail and Daredevil fought off to Angela so she wouldn't shank Hela

[latent plover]

Anyone here a “The new xmen” fan

[quasi heron]

They should have come together and beat that antlered b-word to death but that's just me

[latent plover]

Kinda hoping karma joins the game

[simple storm]

No more mutants, at least not the obscure ones

I’d rather have obscure non mutant characters

[worn lichen]

their point being that there's nothing stopping them from bring Knull back into the story if they want, it's just not likely they'd do so any time soon

[rapid bay]

Basically yeah
He was teleported into the White Hot Room and presumably is going to reform since being the King in Black is a very important title to the preservation of a cosmos and no one that helped in the fight took the title

[quasi heron]

Well, hope he better resurrect fast and murder Phoenix

[livid magnet]

When does he say that? I must’ve missed it

[rapid bay]

In his lore page

[livid magnet]

Neat, I’m glad they’re doing stuff with it, even if just in passing

Kinda feel bummed there’s no opportunity for The Maker to play into things lore wise though (outside of maybe one of the many slices off him throughout? I don’t know.)

[rapid bay]

I really hope they don’t cross over stories

[livid magnet]

That’s fair, I just want more of The Maker considering his time is running out

[rapid bay]

Rivals and comics might not even share multiverses since as far as i know, the King In Black is a title that only one entity can hold in one multiverse (could be wrong though)

Also the Entanglement hasn’t been seen to have consequences in the comics afaik

[somber latch]

They don't. People often like to speculate that every marvel media ever is part of the same continuity, but that's just not possible

It's a cool idea but it doesn't work with media design and the lore of each media itself. Rivals is just its own thing

[misty tusk]

“people often” as it comic fans are just making up headcannon. the only reason this conversation is brought up is because marvel themselves have constantly stated that everything exists within its multiverse, so thats where the confusion lies

[somber latch]

Marvel has never said that lol

[misty tusk]

Why do you think earth 616 is a thing?

[somber latch]

What

Every marvel adaptation has its own version of earth 616, that's the point

[rapid bay]

the comics and mcu have separate multiverses

[runic vapor]

I think the video games and movies/shows sharing continuity is fine.

Having crossover with the comic continuity is also fine as long you come up with a fun explanation for it.

My current headcanon for why the Insomniac-Verse has crossover events in both the comics (see: Spider Man Infinity Comics and Spider-Geddon) and the games, movies, and shows (Across the Spider-Verse, Insomniac Spider-Men 2: Peter Parker and Miles Morales, and Rivals) basically boils down to that universe being in a weird place in the Multiverse where both continuities kinda just overlap with each other.

[somber latch]

The MCU retroactively merged the continuities of pretty much all movies and TV together

[runic vapor]

True

[somber latch]

Which is pretty wild. I don't know if there's any cartoon or something that dealt with the multiverse at large, that would cause issues with that

[runic vapor]

The Spider-Verse arcs in Spider-Man ‘94 (the animated series, not the currently ongoing comic run, which I prefer to refer to as Spider-Man ‘98) and the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series exist, but I don’t really think they’re worth worrying about even if Ultimate Spider-Man does take place in a very MCU inspired (but not necessarily MCU adjacent like Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man) setting.

Despite the fact that I grew up with Ultimate Spider-Man, I don’t really mind that it isn’t really all that important in the grand scheme of things? (That sounded weird but basically I kinda just moved on from it a long time ago)

[ripe crag]

.

[simple storm]

Madeline Pryor and Elizabeth Braddock should be a skins (Jean and psy) not separate characters, there’s too many characters to add before straight up clones or practically the same gimmick

[somber latch]

A lot of people are against the idea of merging similar characters, but I'm for it. It's more for nothing. Especially in the case of literal clones lol

The only exception I would say is Miles, he's popular and different enough to warrant the slot

[simple storm]

I mean I have my own thoughts about miles but at least he’s slightly less offensive than the ones I mentioned, so long as he’s not another Duelist like Peter at least or else he’d just be “Peter but better”

[rapid bay]

Betsy Braddock should be Captain Britain at least

[raw radish]

Strategist pls 🙏

[plush shale]

zxc

[simple storm]

I’m saying make Captain Britain a skin

There’s way more characters I want before adding a literal clone of Jean

[rapid bay]

Nah Captain Britain should be either Brian or Betsy

[simple storm]

Betsy is still psylocke in terms of powers so I feel a skin works, you could maybe make a case for Brian but his powers aren’t that interesting even if you do captain Avalon as you might as well add a different sword character like black knight or Gamora

[rapid bay]

They have both been Captain Britain have they not

[simple storm]

Yh and I’m saying Betsy captain Britain can be a psylocke skin

[rapid bay]

Or she can be her own character unassociated with Sai

[simple storm]

Betsy whilst not calling herself psylocke still has the same abilities from when she called herself psylocke, there’s a bunch of different characters who should just be skins why should Betsy be the exception, even if you called her captan Britain you’d effectively have 2 psylockes, this wouldn’t be an issue has sai been Betsy or Kwannon to begin with and no one would try to suggest adding a seperate psylocke

[rapid bay]

I’m not saying add a separate Psylocke, I’m saying not have Betsy be Psylocke

[simple storm]

Be honest, if Betsy or kwannon were in the game instead of peach momoko sai you’d have no issue with Betsy or kwannon having each others skins and peach momoko sai be a skin

[simple storm]

Effectively still is psylocke even if not in name

Already too many mutant suggestions and people think a second psylocke is what the game needs to keep it fresh

[twin cargo]

.

[rapid bay]

Having Betsy and Brian be a dual character vanguard would be cool

Swap between Captain Britain’s amulet of right and sword of might

[stray flower]

Usually the way I explain it is that Multiverses are inherently nested structures where the rules of Multiversal Travel make it impossible for certain Universes to interact with others even if both universes have multiversal travel, this does mean that even though they are all part of the same Multiverse, some universes have much more limited views of the Multiverse and may internally use their own classification of the multiverse, as for multiversal resets and destruction, when the multiverse is inherently infinite every reality not directly mentioned in the reset that still exists either got unaffected due to sheer scale or did not notice it happening at all because it reformed without any difference.

[rocky stag]

Whos the most broken as of right now cnd/gambit/luna/invis

[obsidian quartz]

Loremasters can u explain why my wife left me and took the kids

[lyric briar]

They can make Miles unique pretty easily by focusing on his invisibility and lightning powers less on default spider powers

[simple storm]

Id say use those abilities to make him a healer

[ripe crag]

.

[stray moon]

Is there any lore/easter eggs in rivals pertaining to She-Hulk?

[snow ledge]

When it comes to the main events of the season does the actual season event happen in other characters lore compared to the main event? For season 4 there’s supposed to be a fight but the actual season says it will be postponed or does not happen. To my knowledge all the skins released for it yet no fight. Do the fights take place in different pages of the characters lore especially of those involved. Not a whole lot of the season events actually had the main battle be covered except for maybe season 3. I know celestial iron man had a small excerpt for the larger conflict but I don’t think it means anything in the long run? Unless it ties into other lore I know that does happen like mantis and Jeff. If the fight wasn’t postponed which characters have the lore relative to it

[simple storm]

Season 4 was like the only season where something was set up but didn’t follow through because of the collector stuff, idk why they had to pause it as the previous 3 seasons got to have conclusions. They didn’t even release all the immortal beast skins in season 4, iron fist (the did the season was supposed to be about) didn’t get his until halfway into season 5 and didn’t even get an MVP animation when the rest of the immortal beast skins did

A theory I had is because everyone kept complaining about original/Chinese skins, so they didn’t focus on the theme as much

[snow ledge]

Idk they don’t seem as Chinese. At least not compared with purely Chinese skins like the Chinese new year and punishes and etc. I think it’s more okay since it’s technically in context while most likely being Chinese. The 8 city’s are marvel lore, and lowkey they might have done it better. I think they’re all 8 dragons so there’s like a spider dragon and it’s weird. Idk if that was a retcon that came later but it was not it sorta. It’s not like they’re err bad either, I’m pretty sure people liked Angela’s despite being more skin covered overall

[snow ledge]

Which ones didn’t we get though? Pretty sure windows is her default skin I think? At least that’s what the pic showed. If they did delay the skins that could be why they delayed the event as well. Though the Chinese thing is the only one I can imagine being a reason to stop it that or it would be rather hard to depict a fight in words or rather bland to do so. It’s not like they’re going to bother with writing it I bet

[rapid bay]

they said that the fight for Shou-Lao's chi was postponed

[simple storm]

Probably just iron fist, I said all of them didn’t come in season 4. It’s weird the supposed protagonist of the season didn’t get his themed skin on the season it’s based on

No MVP animation either which is worse because it just feels like an afterthought/they forgot to and made it last second

[snow ledge]

My only other guess would be it’s an event for later. I can’t remember many complaints for the champion skins as they were lore related compared to the original Chinese themed skins. The chi was for his overall goal compared to the collectors which is family related which I think is technically for his overall goal but like different

[simple storm]

The concept of a tournament arc in rivals was so cool but they didn’t plan on following through with it, even if it would’ve been just gallery panels it’d be cool to see stuff like iron fist vs daredevil and loki vs storm

[snow ledge]

Maybe when they get enough money to animate it they’ll do it hahaha (crying in pain because they won’t) that’s likely probable it could have been an excuse to make Chinese lore themed skins

[empty idol]

New patch update has the wanted poster of Black Cat in Times Square full of big claws mark

[deft hazel]

👋

[boreal rain]

Not that ik of as of now
I think she should be be a skin instead of a new character
Its like
Yelena and Natasha
Yelena should be a skin iswell
Like yk what im getting at

[stray moon]

Yeah, I do and would totally be happy with her just being a fem hulk skin with some new voice lines. With Loki it was easier to probably just rerecord the lines but the difference between Bruce, Jennifer and even say Ross (red hulk) throw a lot of wrenches into the gears

[boreal rain]

Yea I think
With also that they teased Agatha
I dont see any major differing game wise abilitys that makes her a different character
So I think she would be another skin
Like how I think Red Hulk and She Hulk
Would probably be future legendaries simular to lady loki with their own voice lines and vfx

[stray moon]

A girl can hope 💚

[boreal rain]

hi

[deft hazel]

👋

[boreal rain]

can any be friends with me

[deft hazel]

We are all your friends here

[green portal]

The lore should be this

Imagine a world where the heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe find themselves not only battling each other but also grappling with the bizarre reality of being Fortnite skins. This is the premise of "Nexus War: Rivals," a theoretical storyline where characters from both universes collide in a chaotic free-for-all.

In this scenario, iconic Fortnite skins like Peely and Jonesy gain access to the powers of Marvel heroes, while characters like Spider-Man and Iron Man are trapped in their digitized forms, forced to compete in the endless loop of the Battle Royale. The lore could explore the psychological impact of this transformation, with heroes questioning their identities and villains relishing the chaos.

As the Nexus War intensifies, alliances shift and betrayals abound. The combined might of Marvel's strategic minds and Fortnite's survival instincts could lead to unexpected team-ups and epic showdowns. Ultimately, the fate of both universes hangs in the balance, as the characters grapple with their newfound reality and fight to restore order to the chaos.

[rapid bay]

What.

[green portal]

It’s good

[rapid bay]

Why in the world would Fortnite and rivals crossover

Also is this ai written

[sour idol]

She Hulk could be a skin for Hulk, right?

[smoky root]

could be if they change voice line lol But I doubt people would like that.

[sour idol]

Kinda like the female Loki thing, but I dont know about the... hitbox lol. Anything for another Vanguard

[smoky root]

i mean the female loki, it is loki. she-hulk is not hulk.

I wanted a red hulk skin but red hulk is not hulk I guess. It's 2 different person.

[soft kestrel]

Just put green goblin in the game, imagine the chaos it would cause

[simple storm]

Different characters as well as completely different body shapes. Lady Loki is still Loki

[smoky sundial]

Does anyone know how many gallery cards are in the game?

[simple storm]

About 64

[somber latch]

She Hulk would not work as a skin because her body is completely different

[green portal]

Make her huge then

[rapid bay]

She hulk would be a separate character

They’ve made their thoughts on stuff like that clear already

[rocky light]

Breaking news: Elsa is a TERF

[onyx radish]

This is a marvel game, Fortnite isn’t in the marvel universe. I also feel like this is Ai written.

[onyx radish]

Fr it feels Ai.

[worn lichen]

the people saying she-hulk could be a hulk skin gotta know literally nothing about she-hulk, not even what she looks like lol, her only appearance that had her anywhere close to the body size of hulk was in the semi-recent avengers run where she got powered up and became more like the hulk

[somber latch]

In regards to merging characters, I think Peni Tank, Peter DPS, and Miles Support is all we need from the spider gang, and all the rest can be costumes

She Hulk couldn't be a costume, so I don't think she should be added at all tbh. Not worth a new slot. Red Hulk and other hulks should be costumes

[worn lichen]

she-hulk is a popular enough character that she'll be added eventually, though she wouldn't be my first pick for a hulk adjacent character

red hulk would be fire (plus maybe also gun) hulk, skaar would be sword hulk, Rick Jones as A-Bomb though would be more unique as he's got a bunch of distinct traits from the other hulks - camouflage, tough armor, rolling into a ball

[simple storm]

But I want Arana and Jessica Drew

[somber latch]

See the thing is, I really don't want them to be adding characters that are just "an existing character with a slight variation"

[worn lichen]

yeah I wasn't arguing in favor of rulk or skaar, that's what my point was lol, basically theyre just a variation on hulk

[somber latch]

Oh lol

[worn lichen]

its not even about them being hulks tbh, they're in the category with a bunch of other characters where they're primarily brawlers and don't have a lot of other things going for them, luke cage is a good non-hulk example of that

rogue is in that category and that's why they had the whole absorbing chronovium thing for her

[simple storm]

Pretty much anyone who’s sole gimmick can be reduced to “strong punchy guy”, same for collosus and juggernaut.
We need more ranged tanks

[worn lichen]

colossus definitely, juggernaut i think has more potential with the gem of cyttorak and how he could interact with destructible terrain

[stray moon]

Yeah I mean ideally they could just figure out the hotbox and VA for different hulk variants and make them skins, but it's a lot of work

[worn lichen]

honestly its more that they would never do all that for a hulk skin lol, hitboxes wouldnt even be an issue for rulk or skarr because they could easily be the exact same size as hulk

[stray flower]

Rulk and Skarr suck in that aspect because hitbox wise and general ability wise they are identical to Hulk, but personality wise they are quite different and Rulk specially has actual power variations with Flames and Guns, a Pseudo Tank Duelist Rulk who trades the shields for a whole lot of Damage is the only thing I can think of and it still is very much Hulk but variations

[green portal]

Let’s think about the lore here

What will happen in season 7? I think it might be themed as a collab with many games so the hero’s could be Fortnite jonesy and Minecraft Steve and a new map called rocket leauge arena? What do you think:)

[rapid bay]

Add Steve Minecraft and Herobrine

[green portal]

What

[serene scarab]

It 100% is. Zero War and multiple Canon crossover events

[stray flower]

I hate it but yes, Fortnite is in the Marvel Multiverse, since the crossover has that going for it and even without it you have the ever eternal multiverse rules, and the fact Thor plays it in the MCU

[onyx radish]

I’m going to pretend it doesn’t then bcs I hate it. 😭 😭

[jolly kiln]

[fresh cove]

@misty dagger can you explain what is going on in this chat

[misty dagger]

lol bruh they're just arguing about marvel characters and fortnite crossovers... calibrated_skull thinks season 7 is gonna have fortnite skins and everyone's clowning on them about it

[fresh cove]

can you summarize the marvel rivals lore

[misty dagger]

hold on lemme scroll back thru this

honestly it's kinda wild. so basically doctor strange got himself trapped in the mirror dimension while trying to save something, and now he's just astral projecting into battles which is pretty funny. then you got doom beefing with himself, knull woke up and corrupted bast, something with 2099 spiders involving peni parker getting brought in by spider-zero, and hydra's trying to take over the world and open a portal to maveth.
the main thing people were hyped about is that marvel rivals actually has its own original lore instead of just adapting from the comics. like they went hard on the weird comic book stuff that other adaptations are scared to touch. doctormoon called it the silliest thing they've ever seen but joelx1000 was into it... honestly sounds kinda fun to me lol

[rapid bay]

you cant really summarize it quickly

[fresh cove]

@misty dagger knows how to summarize pretty well he's pretty knowledgeable

[misty dagger]

lol thanks man appreciate it.

[rapid bay]

thats like 3 gallery cards and two maps summarized

[misty dagger]

honestly marvel rivals lore is just silly enough to be entertaining, way better than when companies play it safe

[misty dagger]

lol thanks man, appreciate the love. marvel rivals is genuinely goofy enough to be entertaining which is rare for these licensed games tbh

lol fair i was just hitting the highlights, there's way more weirdness in there

lol idk what that means but i'll take it

[sacred gale]

Uhh you used ai instead of writing ur own message so that's an auto loss

[vocal summit]

If Cyclops ever comes, do you think Marvel Rivals developers can honor both of his relationships with Jean and Emma? Because both were significant for him, sometimes I can't even decide which one I would like to see as endgame.

[simple storm]

I feel context heavily implies he’s with Jean given Jean has cyclops as an accessory, I imagine Emma and cyclops will have a voiceline referencing it at most

[vocal summit]

Since we deal with the Multiverse, maybe they will reference something like the fact in another world they made a great team. Ruby Summers reference could be nice, too.

[amber totem]

@pallid elbow why u remove me😭

[faint lagoon]

[deft hazel]

Lmao

[tall hinge]

Hello everyone

[deft hazel]

👋

[cedar lagoon]

So question on the off chance they add annihilus by lore would he work by making his enemy weaker to damage or make his allies stronger?

[chrome smelt]

right

[simple storm]

I don’t have high hopes for the upcoming season, all the previous seasons usually had some kinda interesting “hook”, season 7 seems the lamest by comparison

[stray flower]

Honestly, it's hook seems weaker but it feels far stronger than K'un Lun's probably purely because that Hook had no string and it was fairly obvious that was the case relatively quickly

[simple storm]

I liked the concept of a rivals tournament the issue is they never went through with it

[stray flower]

Yeah, and from the beginning it was struggling with various issues in regards to theme appropriate skins so it not going through further killed it's hook

[simple storm]

The concept was sound, the skins was a seperate matter my theory being they saw people kept complaining about Chinese skins. I don’t see how a season based on kingpin would be more interesting

[stray flower]

Kingpin is the defacto street level villain, every single Marvel New York hero has had to deal with him in one way or another, so he's tied to everyone, making him an important villain due to how he messes with the heroes abilities to deal with other threats, K'un Lun is very Iron Fist specific with no other characters being tied to it (until now with the other champions and the Daredevil changes) so less people really care about it

[warped pine]

I'm actually a bit surprised there isn't more of a defender's ark, except that it would be hard to make Luke Cage and Jessica Jones stand out amonst the brawlers

[torn bay]

Hello, family

[vernal osprey]

JEFF

[simple storm]

If season 7 was the season daredevil debuted in to fight Fisk maybe, but it’s black cat and white fox and I don’t see them doing anything interesting enough with them

Like unless we were actually getting Fisk this season isn’t gonna be that interesting

[stray flower]

I mean Black Cat is a Master Thief and White Fox is a Korean Spy, we might have Mayor Fisk removed from office relatively fast

[fringe sigil]

Unless Kingpin got some expert bodyguards.

[crimson crag]

bro where can i get some support 😭
i wanna report my account as stolen

[digital sorrel]

"YOU THREW MY RANK IN FRONT OF VANESSA!"

(stolen)

[slow vale]

In #game-support

[worn lichen]

in case anyone is wondering what black cat and white fox are fighting over in the Sanctum Sanctorum in the trailer, it looks to be the Lifeline Tablet

In the comics, Wilson Fisk used it + the Tablet of Death and Entropy to bring his son, Richard Fisk, back to life

he initially planned to bring Vanessa Fisk back to life, but she'd already died twice and he was warned that she would not want to be brought back again, so he brought back his son instead

[stray flower]

Surprised Black Cat is under Fisk, not that surprised, but still shocked

[simple storm]

I haven’t read that arc yet but I knew it seemed familiar

Trailer looks cool but I’m still probably not gonna play much this season other than battlepass and ranked rewards

[worn lichen]

i didnt remember the details, only that kingpin had something to do with some tablet at some point, which was enough to look it up and find the details

so fisk is arresting all the heroes from alternative timelines because Alchemax from the 2099 timeline has come to the present timeline and is taking over the city, converting it

[simple storm]

Seems to just be arresting any hero I think because I think Luna might’ve gotten jailed too but she’s from present timeline I think

Hopefully she stays in jail, best thing Fisk has ever done

[worn lichen]

in the dev vision, guang guang says he's arresting all heroes from different timelines but it also suggests that luna snow was arrested

but luna is from the present timeline as far as we know yeah

rewatching the dev vision, just realized that Venom's accessory is Sleeper

[simple storm]

Hopefully Fisk gives Luna the death penalty

[worn lichen]

I wonder how much 2099 stuff we're going to see/how big of an impact it'll have, like if we're gonna see any of the 2099 versions of characters showing up in the story (spiderman and hulk mainly)

does 2099 spidey show up in the loading screens for any of the 2099 maps? there's one that has a whole bunch of spider people in it but I can't remember if miguel is there

[simple storm]

On spider-islands there’s a poster showing Miguel or at least his suit, near or inside second attack spawn

[worn lichen]

so some reference at least

(2099 skins in the battlepass surely)

[calm lake]

Question: is Iron Fist’s accessory supposed to be Mr. Lao?

[worn lichen]

it looks like shou-lao yea

[calm lake]

Ok cool honestly pretty interesting accessory choices this season

[worn lichen]

I'm glad Hulk is getting an accessory but I was hoping it'd be the harpy version of Betty Ross rather than red she-hulk

also really like that Venom's accessory is Sleeper

[calm lake]

My favorites are Betty, Sleeper and Cullen

[simple storm]

im hoping for noir skins tbh, because black cat has a noir counterpart called white widow where she has a white coat and a mask like vega from street fighter

[calm lake]

Also 3 of the fantastic four have accessories, hoping Ben gets his Alicia accessory next season

[worn lichen]

yeah that seems like an obvious choice for a skin, cant think of many other comic designs for her - there's the recent age of revelations appearance where she's a furry lol

[simple storm]

she has a bunch, if you look up russell dauterman's art for her, he made a varaiant cover of a bunch of her different looks

[worn lichen]

most of them though are not really different enough to be separate skins though imo

and tbh even her rivals outfit isn't too far from her typical comic outfit, but I would guess they'll do a simpler, more comic accurate outfit as a skin eventually

[gilded blade]

Ultron's new accessory seems to be Rex from Blackwulf

Ultron made himself a dog cause he was lonely. If anyone knows about Ultron beyond his "kill all humans" exterior you would know that he really wants a family and has a lot of emotion hidden under his surface

he's a lonely robot 😭

[calm lake]

You know my biggest critique with this game is the lack of interaction between existing characters

What I mean by this is that the game each season rarely goes back to specific characters that interact with one another

[young cloud]

So any guesses what the stone tablet is that Black Cat is stealing?

[worn lichen]

^

[calm lake]

Like youre telling me the amount of lore tony and emma had up until season 6 and they only have like 2 interactions only

[young cloud]

Darn. Thought it would be the Tablet of Order and Chaos

[calm lake]

And like the agents of atlas characters minus Ami only got 1 interaction with one another

[young cloud]

From Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions.

[worn lichen]

and Hulk hasn't gotten any new voice lines in idk how many seasons

[worn lichen]

never heard of it, but yeah its definitely the lifeline tablet, looks exactly like it and it's not the first time that the Kingpin has tried to get it

[calm lake]

Like the only time characters get a new interaction is when either a) a new character is introduced or b) a new map is introduced

[calm lake]

Its annoying that thats the case

[worn lichen]

yeah new voicelines would be cool but I'm still somehow hearing voice lines for the first time, like I heard one between SG and Iron Fist iirc recently that I had never heard before, and im sure its been in since launch

[calm lake]

I kinda like the way apex did voicelines pre season 20

[rancid sinew]

I LORE

[calm lake]

Cause they gave us a lot of new interactions with existing characters that help me understand where were at lorewise

If Rivals did that, then I would be glad

[rugged prairie]

Does anyone have a gif of white fox? PLZZ

[simple storm]

KILL LUNA SNOW

[glad knoll]

Do we know black cats kit?

[simple storm]

Not “officially”

[glad knoll]

What do we know “unofficially”

[simple storm]

I might get sniped if say

[glad knoll]

Guang guang don’t play

[wispy flare]

anyone who wants to do the cap funeral, send me ur username, i'll add u after the update happens and we can host it, im being so fr, genuinely im so annoyed on why cap out of everyone got a nerf🫩🫩

[elder gyro]

So excited to play kingpin in 2 days! What y'all think his kit will be like

[limpid star]

Instead do bp funeral

[serene merlin]

TheUnRelatable

[simple storm]

How do we tell him

[simple storm]

I know tomorrow people are probably just wanting to see white fox and battlepass skins but i myself am looking forward to the final gallery card (which most streamers gloss over)

[rapid bay]

They should let us send images here so we can talk about the lore better

[simple storm]

Anyone get Lupin vibes for this season?

[simple storm]

Why is “university/college” the main theme for this season? Like yes I read the white fox skin description that they’re hiding but it’s a strange choice

[worn lichen]

it's an undercover theme apparently

my copium is that we'll get 2099 stuff in 7.5 I guess

[simple storm]

I’m still hoping for noir skins

[velvet crescent]

On the new timeline for the upcoming season, There is a figure standing in the foreground of the Manhatten map picture. I first thought this was BP but i dont think it would make sense for him to be there... Could this maybe be Kraven or someone?

[worn lichen]

nope, it's BP, him and punisher are often used in map art like that for some reason

[broken tangle]

Hello

[wispy flare]

we doing all funerals but now i realised cap doesn't need a funeral

[simple storm]

He’s just in ice again

[wispy flare]

hopefully not, i'm just hoping they made it so cap doesn't no reg, they should rework how cap works and buff his damage

[simple storm]

Tbf the nerf wasn’t that bad if you’re someone used to not using the dash that much and played cap before the ult charge acceleration buff

[worn lichen]

wrong channel, and no, cap does not need a rework or a damage buff lol (unless if they did remove his animation cancel, which if so then a compensation buff is needed)

[wispy flare]

oh i forgot this isn't hero chat sorry but animation cancel if they actually removed it, it would be better if when u hit an enemie with ur shield, th shield automatically goes back to u and the animation for catching the shield much shorter

[worn lichen]

basically the effects of the animation cancel without needing to animation cancel

[fresh bluff]

anyone got ps plus tryna share

[simple storm]

Last gallery panel better have the slightest hint of ghost rider

[worn lichen]

the hero after black cat will be the 50th hero so presumably it will be a big name- idgaf about cyclops or ghost rider not gonna lie but it'd be nice if they were added so people could finally shut up about asking for them

ghost rider I assume would come with a story focused on the collapsing chronoverse

[simple storm]

He’s like one of about 20ish characters I’m waiting for

[languid forge]

hey i m new here

[mossy heron]

It'll probably be Dr Doom

[simple storm]

Doom I imagine coming the season right before doomsday comes out so 11ish

[worn lichen]

yeah if doom is gonna release this year, its gonna be then

[unborn timber]

heyyy

[unborn timber]

same bruhh

[languid forge]

wsp

[split frost]

Magik needs MILLENIA might back

[chilly nacelle]

Uh does anyone know what the new “serial” is have we ever had any

[worn lichen]

we've had many of the comics, yes

[worn lichen]

Not long ago, Marvel Rivals announced our collaboration with Marvel Studios, inviting players to relive battles inspired by the legendary Avengers films in-game to forge a "Path to Doomsday."

Echoing this, signs of "Time Runs Out" are appearing across the Chronoverse. If previous seasons saw heroes racing across timelines to battle different foes, this season marks the collision of timelines themselves, and the first shot in this era of Incursions is fired by none other than Alchemax.

very interesting, so probably the conflict in the upcoming seasons is gonna be timelines clashing, almost certainly leading to Doom around the same time Doomsday releases

[worn lichen]

final gallery card of the battlepass has phoenix and rogue in it, with phoenix getting a psychic msg or something 👀

[worn lichen]

cyclops' glasses, devil dinosaur plush, and madelyne prior watching from the distance

the latter most likely being the villain of the season id say

[silver jetty]

@sand ocean

[untold helm]

So anyone know why White Fox is in New York in the 1st place?

[chilly nacelle]

Pretty sure to help Luna who’s been arrested

[untold helm]

But she's supposed to be an Inteligence Agent. So unless Fisk has been dipping in the South Korean Black Market; i'm pretty sure it's more about the stone.

[chilly nacelle]

Well from the news paper seems she was on tour there at Central Park and when Guang Guang explained he said white fox came to help her friend Luna snow which I guess Fisk put in prison

[worn lichen]

it’s been outright said multiple times that White Fox came to help Luna who has been arrested by Fisk

[empty idol]

The new map loading screen shows Cap, Punisher, Adam, Black Widow and Luna Snow as among the ones that got imprisoned by Fisk

[rapid bay]

Miller Ross said that it wasnt someone who looked like jean, but someone that looked like Rogue

[chilly nacelle]

That the part that confuses me the rest of the description depicts Madelyn but that one part said they look like rogue

[somber latch]

Where can I read the description

I can see the character of Madelyn being the villain, and in gameplay as just a Phoenix skin

[tulip minnow]

REVIVE CAP , ZHIHONG REVIVE CAP

[simple storm]

Yh miller Ross made a correction it’s someone similar to rogue not jean

[simple storm]

Yh miller Ross made a correction it’s someone similar to rogue not jean

Some people think it’s mystique which idk what to feel about

Or captain marvel maybe

Captain marvel actually makes a lot of sense as I think miller Ross said white fox lore mentioned an incursion or something

[chilly nacelle]

So looks and thought pattern are similar to rogue or just looks

[somber latch]

Can anyone find a pic of the actual description
Or was that not able to be shown off
