Nova looks like Captain Falcon.
Not fighting-wise, just in general.

Awesome Essay. I think he will be one of those very good characters.

Nova is far older than F-Zero, just like Rocky is far older than Star Fox.

He killed Mr. Reed (Mr. Fantastic) with Knife in order to win Invisible Woman's heart; and she denied him. He had to kill her with flower vase to cover up his other murder.
Phoenix Wright knew he is guilty. HE want to know ONLY TRUTH!
Dahbomb, Nova's dive kick does cross up, it does so in the vids multiple times.
Also, I'm not so sure about the stance thing, I think they're just LMH specials, with the ambiguity in the the little stance he goes into for a second, requiring you to predict what move he is going to do. If it was a stance, it'd last longer and not just pertain itself to that single special. Every single time it's been done, it was part of the special. I'm thinking it just is the special.

This certainly won't help my desires for the real Captain Falcon to show up in a Capcom fighting game.

Makes me wonder how powerful the super gets from it. Possibly getting nearly killed from a botched assist and then DHC into Nova Beam, use Red Health, instakill a team member?
I knew nothing about Nova before the reveal and now I'm glad I didn't. I doubted the character could possibly be as generic as his aesthetic and description looked. His gameplay pretty much confirms it. He's not uninspired and looks good, in a competitive sense, but artistically, there just didn't seem to be anywhere else to go. Most generic looking character in the game IMO. Marvel's Rocket Man, with sphere and beam hypers. Yawn.
Phoenix just looks gimmicky and not fun to actually play in the slightest, regardless of how faithful his translation is. I'll reserve final judgement for the hands-on, but as of now, his reveal just furthers my resolve that developers should ignore fans regarding fanservice type games more often than not. That LvL 3 cinematic is way too f'ing long.

Eh, other people seemed fine with their characters. I just wanted somebody I could compete with and I got them.Kimosabae said:
Just saw the general changes.
Nothing too extreme noted. The change on X Factor scaling is VERY GOOD as well as the increased duration for assist cooldown post-snap back. Also the note on air dash change is WRONG because Dorm and Doom's air dashes have been made faster and probably Thor too if the new video was any indication.
Going to update the changelog with this.

It displays my current emotions. I'm so underwhelmed and anti-hyped because of no Rocky.
Fuck those "color outlines = character reveals" people, seriously.
Sigh... I guess I have to hold out for this weekend in the hopes of the other 2 characters getting revealed at the UMvC panel... He better be absolutely hype and have the best character theme the world has ever seen (or rather heard).
At least Nova's theme is good. Kinda meh on Wright's.

Grecco said:Look at it this way they couldnt just reveal 2 awesome characters and keep the 2 boring ones. They had to reveal 1 awesome and 1 boring
Honestly, I love Nova. He looks really cool, not boring at all. I actually like him more than Wright (although he seems kinda fun as well, love the "I'll walk on you like a boss"-move).
But ... no Rocky makes me a sad panda. :[

Normal teleports were out of the question for me, because whenever he does it in the comics it's something that takes a huge deal of concentrion and were only used to travel light years away. I did however expect the Nova Force hyper to work almost exactly like the Skrull Inferno excenpt with a stargate aesthetic.

Oh dear lord. Add in MODOK or Strange for the lulz. Shit on the screen EVERYWHERE.
Too hard to tell at this point. I want to see Nova's assist selection first and the properties on his moves before I judge.Nils said:
If you really want to press me now it looks like Nova is an anchor character if his whole "red health" use up ability is any indication and great throw game. If that move takes up red health to be more powerful then that means this is some REALLY powerful move where you want to have some red health to sacrifice for the ace up your sleeve. He doesn't appear to need assists to be proficient at dealing damage, he appears to have the tools he need like for example he can self-OTG combo, has a wall bounce and a ground bounce. Plus he is also a specialist at getting in and avoiding projectiles.
Plus beam hyper for random assist punishment like Akuma. If he has great assists then you can put him at the back.... if not then you will probably want him higher up.
Oh and I might be completely wrong on the style thing. Probably going to edit that out.

RR also is on the Marvel-shirt giveaway.
He still didn't get revealed.
Fuck Ono, and fuck Capcom's trolling.

As mentioned, I'm completely anti-hyped as of now. I think I could've only been more disappointed if Rocky turned out to play exactly like Chris.

Last year at NYCC Capcom broke the reveals up into two panels on two separate days. Granted, those were split into the Capcom pair (Arthur and Spencer) and the Marvel pair (Magneto and MODOK), but still, the possibility is still there for the other pair to be revealed later in the show.

At least cite me properly... translating Note 9 took a long time!

I am aware of that, but I'm not getting my hopes up like that. No more.
Oh, and again, fuck the "colored outlines = character reveals" people. ALL OF THEM.

We already knew the translation is from eventhubs, if you read last few pages.
Edited: Oh, never mind. You were referred to OP; but I already added credit to OP for you.
