Exactly, I was. But my TAC teams will always have X-23 on them.
Quick Work is much harder to land unblockables with for Ghost Rider.
I love this trailer because it shows that literally anyone could be Iron Man. It's all about the suit, not the man.
Nah. He'll get hit as he tries to get hit fat butt on the screen.
Hulk anchor? The AA assist is borderline invincible. I've never out-prioritized it.
I'm all about the pewpewpew! I think a lot of Wesker players think he's not top tier because they spend too much time trying to rush with him.
Skrull is probably my #1 choice for "this character is so good, why isn't anyone using him?"
Sword loops are far, far easier than people make them out to be. The only reason I drop them is latency differences between opponents. It's just sad when Vergil mains still drop that stuff these days. I've definitely put some work into him, I just can't use him at full capacity because charging L while playing footsies is beyond my current capacity. I say current because fly-cancels were once beyond me, too.
Pewpewpew!
Indeed.
The team tends to do better against other opponents, but Hidden Missiles counters Vajra pretty hard, so I wasn't able to call it often. I'm not comprehending your last sentence, though.
That's roughly how I feel about them right now, too.
Just need your intelligence to be on the level of a handful of others in the entire universe and your good to go! Simple as that!

I don't know where you got that from the trailer. Just because a bunch of knock offs are going around in Tony's suit doesn't make them the Iron Man. That happened in IM1 and IM2 as well... other characters in suits (or even robotic suits) tried to go after Tony but ultimately failed. Superior tech and intelligence always prevails.
He's represented poorly in the game obviously. Compared to other flight characters in the game... he should easily have been the fastest. Plus Smurf Bombs.
The fact that it's all about the tech is exactly why it's about the suit. The intelligence isn't what lets him play her.
You compared Batman to guys in hockey pads.
3/4 of those are just facets of being rich. -_-
Many people are smart. They aren't heroes, though. Tony could be the guy designing suits for someone else, and he'd be the same character to me.
He was for mutant registration. If someone is willing to suspend civil liberties like that, I couldn't ever respect that character's intelligence.
Tonight is unlikely. Watching Netflix with my wife.
Really? I mean.. Tony is the reason the suit exists, the origin story is kind of focused around him building shit for others and then his entire character changing because he isn't anymore and is the Iron Man now with all that that entails. I don't see how you can detatch the two and it would be the same. Tony without his suit is.. well any other genius with none of the same problems, flaws or responsibilities.
Her? The intelligence is what brings about the superior tech. The villains just copy Tony's stuff but he always has something better in store. He is always ahead of the curve.
And you compared henchmen and machines to Iron Man.
Wearing the suit and using it in combat is still a risky venture. Also just because he can make suits doesn't mean that he is also going to place arc reactors on everyone just so they could be like him. Plus what if something goes wrong with the suit? Tony has the smarts to fix it on the spot or adapt to the situation... most other characters would just fold. That's pretty much the entire point of IM1... he used to build stuff for others and then stuff happened so he decided to take a different route with his life.
There was a thread on GAF about this whole thing. It was generally split and arguments were presented both ways. Countries get up in arms over each other having nukes we are talking about mutants who can destroy planets in the blink of an eye. Practically speaking something like that would have to be done to keep some checks in place or it would be utter chaos and the end of the world. I am pretty sure that the government has labelled Iron Man as a weapon too so it's not like he is exempted from anything. Suspending civil liberties for the greater good would be a no brainer. Even for smaller things like let's say athletics... would you allow mutants to participate in sports? If yes then would you have them declare their powers or not? If they are allowed to use their powers then wouldn't it defeat the purpose of sports (like someone with telekinesis would be able to shoot 3 pointers from across the court)?
I think the villain was really good, but indeed the final action sequence was a bit of a letdown. Same goes for Iron Man 2, which has a pretty goddamn cheesy ending.
You're*
How do you retcon an entire story arc? -__
Hero*
Right, but of equal technical level.
So he's like a hotshot pilot who is also a mechanic. Soooo impressive.
I'm on Magneto's side of the war, remember?
Registration is just the first step before rights are stripped away.
Never seen Pulp Fiction. On my to-watch list.
I'm not a Captain America fan, so I'm not sure who you're arguing against with that. I'm glad you see it my way, though, and know that Iron Man isn't anything special.
:-D
The villain was "oh this guy again? I guess no one else could play the role" to me.
It was sarcastic. I was saying that you could say that for just about any hero but that doesn't make them any less special. Both Cap and IM ARE special. Just because Cap is juiced up on super serum doesn't mean anyone can be Cap by juicing up on super serum. His impeccable morality, leadership, strategic mindset and character qualities are what make Cap.... not his shield or serum. I don't like Cap because he's too much of a boy scout (I say the same for Cyclops), almost to a fault but I respect what he brings to the Avengers team.
And we are done here.
Last time I checked, Captain America wasn't special. He's manufactured, a creation, like the suit. Wasn't he a dweeby kid before he drank the serum?
I kinda feel like with both Cap and Iron Man your missing entirely the reason why those technological enhancements or whatever are there in the first place and just judging them on the surface. I mean, Iron Man and Cap aren't cool just because of what they are, but why they are what they are. Cap is a symbol of extracting strength from weakness, his mental resilience is what leads humanity against adversity over and over, and why he was chosen over so many other physically fit candidates. Iron Man represents a growing conscience and responsibility in the world that started with him and reaches out as far as he can go. He just gave the world free renewable energy (in the comics), that doesn't advance society any or is your only criteria for greatness things of predisposed genetic basis?Last time I checked, Captain America wasn't special. He's manufactured, a creation, like the suit. Wasn't he a dweeby kid before he drank the serum?
Could you use a worse example for your argument?
Mutants are born the way they are. Their powers are who they are. Iron Man and Captain America are products of technological advancement. They don't represent any kind of progression of the species. They're not noteworthy.
Yes he was a dweeby skinny kid before.Last time I checked, Captain America wasn't special. He's manufactured, a creation, like the suit. Wasn't he a dweeby kid before he drank the serum?
Could you use a worse example for your argument?
Maybe later this week?
You know, the one thing that this game doesn't have in fighting game styles is a drunken master...I can see Iron Man wobble-walking around the screen. It would make for the most advanced footsies ever.
you're*!
Yeah, they chose him because it's a comic written for skinny nerds that want super strength. If they chose a top high school football player who became a Marine as the candidate, nerds would wonder why he isn't a villain.
You want to play the "character depth" angle while defending a character with as much depth as a sheet of paper? Iron Man is closer to a caricature than a character.
I was coming at this from a shallow angle: who is cool. To me, super powers are what make comic book characters interesting. A suit of armor isn't. Then you and enzo want to change the argument to be about depth of character for some reason. We can go at it from that angle: the fact is that both Batman and Iron Man are simpletons with an overdeveloped sense of justice. They are characters that only make sense in a Judeo-Christian fantasy where people pretend that concepts like selflessness aren't purely imaginary.
"My parents were killed so I have to catch the bad guys, which symbolically makes me feel like I am saving them during that horrible night."
Nova says lol
I think "my parents died and I want to avenge them" is about as simple as a character motive can get. Can you think of a simpler one?
Aaaaaand?
More likely, he's a comic book character that fights crime, and no one would buy the comics if he actually cleaned up Gotham city. Comics are long, long past the point where they can be respected for character development. Their authors don't even take them seriously. Though I am admittedly speaking more about Marvel than DC here, since that's what I'm more familiar with.
I'm not attracted to the innumerable villains of the Marvel universe, so there's no need to argue that point. Even moreso because like I said, I was judging the characters based on how cool they are initially. Enzo and Dahbomb wanted to approach things from the character depth angle, not me. I don't expect character depth in mass media, it's just not fair to modern sensibilities.
Bad taste exists within all professions, as does intellectual uncleanliness.
I was responding to the neurosis angle with regard to Batman's character development. Undoubtedly, other stuff has happened to him and influenced him.
Most of Marvel 3's music is terrible. Too much techno crap.
"I want chaos" isn't a motive, it's an expression of a desire. A motive requires some kind of background. "I am an immortal being who longs to die, and can only accomplish that through destroying the world" is a motive. I don't think your first quote is a motive, either.
Why?
What bothers me about it is that it's not how humans work. "I want to rid the world of evil" is a manifestation of a desire, it doesn't get at the actual desire that's being expressed, though. Rarely does fiction explore the real driving force behind the hero. I'm not anti-heroes, I just don't like the bullarky.
End goals are not motivations. Motivation is what leads one toward an end goal.
That would be a valid point if your friend were interested in Batman because of his psychological background. Is that the case? Or does he just think he's a badass, which is more common?
If the comics focused on emotion and weakness, I think they would be respectable. The problem is that they instead focus on as much badassery as possible. And isn't Sentry the epitome of this kind of thinking? Marvel characters no longer have any kind of emotional consistency to them. They're just action figures that get posed however they need to be for the next big "epic" event, which usually means something happening that can potentially destroy everything and needs to be stopped. How epic!
