Sorry guys, that instrumental's not going to happen. If you're familiar with the process of making a song instrumental, you probably know it either works and it sounds good, or it doesn't work AT ALL. And I thought the original version sounded bad. :/

Yup. No clue what my main Marvel team will be now. All I know for sure is that Wright's on it.

Then it's... Zero/Viper/Iron Man/Dr Strange/Nova/Iron Fist/ FUCK IF I KNOW

The more I think about it, the more I think how Capcom got lazy with Nova. He has Stone Smite, Taskmaster's Vertical Shot, Super Skrull's Inferno, Wolverine's Dive Kick, Shinkuu Hadouken, and Iron Man's Intro mirrored (with slight changes to animations, if at all). Not saying he looks unfun to play- it just seems like he has more moves from other characters than Taskmaster.

I was going to post this exact thing. He's just unoriginal.

I thought he was unoriginal too, then I noticed he can sacrifice his red health to power up his moves. Spamming him as an assist to get a friggin full red bar then dropping a nuke? Hell yes lol

I really dislike it when people say X character has X moves from X character. That's the same as saying a strawberry Milkshake is unoriginal because it has Vanilla Milkshake's ice cream.

But if you don't have enough strawberry syrup or too much vanilla ice cream, your strawberry milkshake ends up tasting like vanilla. That's the idea.

Don't know what was up with the random disconnect. PSN is popular for having them though. GGs and thanks for the matches Tad. Getting hit by wolf mix-up was crazy and interesting. I need to hit up the lab some more and get some new technology to battle Valk. Until next time.

GG's Star. When you hit, it hurt, and you finish those combos. Very much enjoyed it. I may be able to play again this weekend. I play in the day sometimes for a few random hours. Look forward to the next round.

But we haven't tasted this shake yet, so how do we know?

It's just lazy though. All three of his supers are things that we've seen before (maximum wesker, shinku hadoken, and inferno).

Using a more accurate analogy, it's like ordering an "ice cream deluxe" instead of getting a banana split. However, the only difference the deluxe has is sprinkles and nuts.

I think that because Nova has some of what several characters have it makes him original. Because combining all of these different tools makes him a different character. The sum of the parts is not equivalent to the individual parts: a key part of logic. Just because he has tools from several diff. characters doesn't mean he is going to play like them or even use those tools like them because the summation of all of those moves creates a new design. Not to mention the properties are different for the moves he copies. His stone smite ground bounces and doesn't have as much range as skrull's (not to mention is more applicable), his dive kick can only be initiated after doing a stance and it can only be done from the ground, and I mean he has his own unique set of tools. The vertical shot isn't like taskmaster's at all. It covers a lot less ground, is faster, and causes a ground bounce. That alone makes its use different.

I can't say much for his supers except the red life factor is pretty cool. Overall he isn't as unique as some of the characters of the cast, but I wouldn't say he is unoriginal. Capcom could have picked any number of moves from the rest of the cast to put into Nova, but it should be considered why they picked the moves they did. It can't be out of sheer laziness since those moves do accurately represent Nova in the comics.

Also, it is fair to mention he does have some unique moves like aegis reflector (although I think PW has one too...), and different follow ups from his centurion arts that gives him different ways to combo than most characters.

One last thing, his maximum nova shall be called "Big Taco"...cuz dats wut he says. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qHIpusRAgQ&feature=player_embedded#t=1m0s
