Did it flicker? Yeah, I I made the assumption that Thor was not going to be in it a while ago. I'm like, I think Thor is the one that we can take out. It but it'd be very weird if we got a uh a Marvel fighting game that didn't have Hulk. Like that was always very bizarre to me. Shuri was definitely a interesting choice, you know? For them not to go with traditional BP. We got to go back and check it out. Let me pull up the trailer. Hold on a second. Let me find the trailer. Let's go review it. No views. 1 minute ago. All right. Chill, Justin and Steve. Chill. Let's go back and look. The champion being confirmed as the baddie is dope. It certainly seems that way. Is the champion the guy with the hair?

It's this this huge [ __ ] It's this guy. He's going to get redesigned. I mean, I don't think he's going to be looking exactly like that. Somehow a mag- majestic head of hair and still balding. All right, hold up. Hold up. Hold up. So, is that him? He just looks like Dracula. Nah, they changed him up a bit. They changed him up a bit. Okay. Okay. Okay. He's now like he now looks like Slayer, yeah. The rest is up to you, Cap. Interesting. Iron Man Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. This is what I saw earlier. I don't remember if he could do this. [ __ ] like air dashed out of his unique. Interesting. He air dashed out of his missiles. This thing like locked him into position pretty hard before. The foot jet is normal. He had that before. But this Whoa, dude. Yo, that's kind of neat. I want I want I I'm going to be real. I want the classic Hulk outfit. I really do. I want the classic outfit, dude. He's got too much [ __ ] on him. Whoa. Big rock. He really sounds like MVC3 Hulk. Yeah, I know. It's It's Planet Hulk Savage Hulk, but I want I want him to have an OG classic Hulk outfit, you know? So, wait. What? You get like an Is this an armor? You got him. And he has a gamma charge. Like straight up has gamma charge. He's got jump clap. Dude, look at the this this [ __ ] is more Potemkin than he ever has been. Right? He has the Potemkin body portions. What is this? It feel like it's the auto combo. I'm sorry. She animates very well. She also gets a buff. They both They both get buffs. Well, go back. I want to see. I want to see. I want to see this sequence. So crazy that these are the Avengers, right? They put Black Panther in there. I guess that makes sense. Cool. Wow, Chad. What is this super? That is literally literally Broly [ __ ] dude. This is literally Broly [ __ ] That's pretty funny. That That's kind of hilarious, dude. It's not even being apologetic about it. Now you will see true strength. Avengers, assemble. So glad we get to show like the big level fours now. show them something special. NOW, STRIKE. WHAT WAS THIS THING IN THE END? MAN, WE NEED other classic character costumes. We need We need more. Want a Hulk classic. Want to wait people to mod it in. it glitches a little bit. It's green. Aha, this is revealing some interesting stuff. Scratching out Spider-Man's face. A number next [music] to Doom. There's a Doom face over here. It is a high probability of being Green Goblin. Potentially a high probability. But who knows? It could It could be Green Goblin. I think it is going to be a Spider-Man adversary of some kind. Which would make sense. So, there's text over here where my uh where my whole [ __ ] ass face is. There's text on the left that is not immediately apparent. It pops up. So, Spider-Man's spider sense is also Damn it, I'm I'm dissecting the [ __ ] out of this. Spider-Man currently has spider sense like something is about to happen to him. And then number five gets revealed. And all of the [music] interesting interesting. I think we I definitely think it's a Spider-Man villain. Which is good cuz we need more bad guys, right? There's actually not a ton of bad guys, dude. What did you see? 36. Hold on. Bottom left. Oh, there we go. That's the only thing that's legible down there. 361. Hmm. Spider-Man 361 is Carnage's first appearance. Or is it 136? 361 is the comic book Carnage appears in. Hold on a second. Damn, bro. Carnage's first appearance was in The Amazing Spider-Man number 361, April 1992. And here's the thing. This isn't like canonical. This is like Yeah, okay. That would be pretty crazy. I don't think that's a lock, but that's also pretty obvious, you know? And it would also be very crazy if the slash marks. Oh, [ __ ] I think the green is throwing us off. Who knows? We'll see. We'll see. Damn, Carnage over Venom? That is crazy. Carnage instead of Venom, though, is brutal. Maybe they would save Venom for DLC. Venom would make a very smart DLC. Carnage over Venom is insane. I it's not what I would prefer, but it would be nice to see an an official interpretation of Carnage in a fighting game. If anything they've shown is that they do not They're trying to like as much as the core characters they want to have, they're trying to deviate from the things that have existed before. Black Panther isn't just T'Challa, Black Panther is the Shuri version of Black Panther, you know? So they're They're doing opposites in some ways. Penny Parker is like also a Spider-Man hero, but not the exact one that you were expecting, like things like that. They're trying to It feels like they're making an attempt and it would make a lot of sense if they're like So Venom's in everything. Let's make it Carnage this time, you know? You don't like that? Well, I want Venom. Just because I want to see what Arc System Works' take on Venom would be. But here's the thing, Carnage doesn't have to be the skinny scratchy Carnage. They can have some crazy interpretation of him, you know? But who knows? This could all be This could all be bait, dude. This stuff right here and the scratches and the scratching out Spider-Man like all of this is extremely like obvious. All of it is like super like pretty obvious. So either they're giving us hints or they are not being coy about it, you know? Why is there a hashtag next to Doom? Oh, it's team Doom. On team Doom cuz there's the Doom face over here, but it is Carnage. There you go. Okay, it's making more sense. Amazing Spider-Man 5 is the first appearance of Dr. Doom. Is there a five? Oh my god. Are you kidding me? Yeah, they're definitely Okay, they're setting that up. I think it's pretty safe I would be shocked if it was anything else. I'm pretty sure we're looking at team Dr. Doom and Carnage is on it. Who else is on it? It's probably going to be bad guys. Ain't no Ain't no other character is going to be teaming up with Doom and Carnage, bro. Uh yeah, I don't know. I would be sh- I would be literally shocked. No pun intended. If it is anybody else but Carnage at this point cuz that's just too much information, dude. The scratch out, the number five, the 361, the Doom hashtag thing. Number number five. Yeah. It's Vega. Yes, it's exactly what we wanted. It's Vega. Dude, his body type is 100% Potemkin. He's much closer. Look at the size of this bitch's hands, bro. He doesn't seem to be a grappler. He shouldn't be. Hulk should not be a grappler. He has the body type of a Potemkin, but he should not be a grappler, dude. Yeah, so he has like an armor install or something. This reminds me a lot of Broly. Holy crap. Where he literally gives himself the anti-fireball buff and he goes through the the projectile. By the way, also more [ __ ] that blasts through Doom's molecular shield thing. Great. Even more [ __ ] that goes through this goddamn shield that everything else tends to go through. You got him, big guy. Heal from [groaning] this. Yeah, this is like a hit grab. So there's like the puny human thing. Yeah, instead of him doing um you know the entire pick up the rock and land like a meteor, he just chucks big boulder now, you know? All right. PS Blog we can check in a second. Iron Man uh and Black Panther. Brand new team fighting Avengers led by Captain Newly Formed Avengers Squad comes together to confront a new fate uh a new threat facing Earth. As heroes watch closely and admired greatly people around the world, we hope you're looking forward to seeing how they rise to the challenge in episode mode. Um new stage Wakanda. Hit and never [music] go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wakanda backstory. New playable Hulk. Whose strength grows with his rage. Hulk once fought alongside the Avengers to save the world. However, until gone, his overwhelming power and instability led the government Shield and his fellow teammates Captain America and Iron Man to exile him to the Savage Land. He must be pissed. There Hulk lives a quiet life surrounded by nature and animals, but his distress of the Avengers has yet to fade. But he's on their team. Uh during development Hulk's backstory was established early on while staying true to the core design uh concept of a massive gamma-radiated powerhouse, elements inspired by his narrative were incorporated into his design. Hulk adorns himself with the dinosaur bone armor, uh untamed fighting style. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can overpower opponents at any range with sheer force. Any range? Channeling his anger builds his unique gamma gauge. When it reaches maximum, Hulk enters gamma rage, which significantly boosts his strength and speed. So as Broly? When he gets naked? Hmm, interesting. Maybe he has his own personal X-Factor? Build up the gamma gauge and unleash devastating one-shot attacks just at the right moment to deal massive damage. Interesting. I'm curious. Curious how that's going to play out. Um The daughter of Broly must make critical decisions not only as a warrior, but as a queen must balance tradition and progress. We decided to include her in the roster. Her character backstory was discussed and established early on having only taken up recently taken up the mantle of Black Panther alongside her existing role as Wakanda's chief scientist, Shuri's design reflects this important transition. Uh sleek athletic lines emphasize a sense of speed befitting the acrobatic fighter while preserving the primal wildness. At the same time, subtle touches of Wakandan royalty are woven into the finer details reflecting the weight of leadership. In combat, Black Panther excels at swift movement and long reach uh at the spear of Bashenga. And she possesses a high-speed mobility skill called uh Bast's blessing allowing her to dash in multiple directions. Bast's blessing consumes a dedicated gauge. [music] Jill? But it can be canceled from normal attacks and skill but it it can be canceled from normal attacks and skills. Wait a minute, she's She's like Sin? But she can go in like eight-way air dash, maybe? Huh, that sounds pretty fascinating. Dominate mid-range battles with spur precise spear attacks and then close the distance with lightning fast momentum to overwhelm opponents. Interesting. The Champion, one of the elders of the universe, Champion has existed since the birth of the universe and travels across the cosmos alongside his right-hand show woman promoter. A cosmic conqueror obsessed with hand-to-hand combat, he journeys from planet to planet in search of worthy opponents. Those who fail to satisfy his thirst for battle face the ultimate consequence, the destruction of the whole world. And now his next target is Earth. Under promoter's direction, the Challenge Champion tournament has been announced. Teams of four will battle through qualifiers, yada yada yada. But is there something more sinister uh game than just a sport? The Fighting Avengers enter the tournament and it's one of the leading contenders, yada yada. did you enjoy the hands-on demo at Evo? Truly appreciate it. Next up we'll be bringing the newest playable build to Combo Breaker and Hong Kong Comic Con. Damn, I didn't know that existed. Uh May 22nd and 29th, the build will include THE NEWLY ANNOUNCED WOW! OH, IT INCLUDES Black Panther in the Wakanda stage for a total of 13 playable characters and five stages. So it doesn't include Hulk? If you're attending either event, be sure to stop by. Development is entering its final stages and the entire team is working hard every day to deliver the best possible experience. Thank you as always. Uh interesting that Hulk isn't going to be there. It was neat to see characters getting different abilities though. Like Iron Man was doing new [ __ ]
