Velen, 2x Temple Enforcer, Azure Drake, 2x Cult Master, Stampeding Kodo, 2x Gurubashi, doubling the enforcer's HP and topdecking dire wolf alpha to clear my boulderfist and survive the turn I play it, or topdecking power word shield so his cult master survives to clearing the board, he didn't even play any Nova or shadow word, he didn't need to. Fire Elem x2, Forked Lightning, Lightning Bolt x2, Lava Burst, Stormforged Axe x2 don't mean shit when he spews out so many value cards (most of the time right on top of the curve) and there's literally nothing I could have done about it except drop my Earth Elem earlier (I'd have been crushed either way, and I had to bait out his removal first, couldn't know he had none since it's friggin' arena). | ||

No monies for any decent fighting game pad sadly and I'm really just not into fighting games enough to justify such an investment, I feel like I'm in a massive catch-22 with fighting games. I'm not into them because I don't feel comfortable on console controllers or keyboard but because I'm not into them I won't buy a fighting game pad.

I think people become comfortable with whatever they choose to play with honestly. Yeah maybe you can't get to the top echelons of skill without a fightstick/pad or something but whatever. | ||

Comic book stuff is really fun and interesting...wonder why I never really got into it tbh. And yes, I can't stop fawning over Skullgirls. I fawned over it when it came out forever ago but never bought it/never discussed it because nobody else was interested. Again, don't recommend games and stuff very often but I absolutely 100% recommend this game even to non-fighting-game players, same as I recommend Isaac. Eh it doesn't really indicate why he's so powerful. Does he just have the standard set of powers but amped up a lot (flight/super strenght/super intelligence/invulnerability) or is there more to him? Also guys, should I go 4xGC controllers to play muh Smash with buddies or should I get a gamepad and use the rest for other stuff (kinda want a wetstone for razor/knives) | ||

I think in the preview at the end of the credits of one of the movies he has the Infinity Gauntlet. so expect super strength and fighting ability and that. | ||

Are there any guys with incredibly bullshit powers like Siberian or even Contessa or Gray Boy in Worm? She has a path to victory power where she can see if there is a path to victory no matter how unorthodox and follow it. Basically it's a you can't win button. Siberian is a mental projection that is invulnerable and can bestow that on anything she touches. Grey Boy's power allows him to trap people and objects in loops of time. Individuals trapped in his time wells are reset to the physical state in which they entered the well every time the loop restarts, although their minds are unaffected by the looping. Grey Boy uses this facet of his power to torture his victims, forcing them to relive the initial pain of an injury again and again. His power also serves to protect him, "rewinding" him to an uninjured state after he is harmed. He does not age. | ||

But the powers are all incredibly cool and people use them in creative and problem-solving ways. There's incredibly few 'dei ex machinae', especially for superhero stuff. And the real scary villains knock the Joker out of the park, they're 'welp I might aswell kill myself' level. Try and see if you like the first few chapters, I did and managed to power through the entire thing in a couple of weeks. Was pretty damn hooked though. | ||

Thanos is just incredibly powerful and a master strategist. Which is probably adequate for MCU. | ||

Is there a place to read this in condensed format (ie not spread out over a million wordpress pages)? | ||

Doctor strange can take anyones powers he wants, channel the exact strength and power of gods, and he cannot age. and can only be killed in combat, which he can see in advance to avoid it. | ||

ALlo I'll be tempted to do his taunt constantly like i am with Eliza. ELiza's story mode is actually probably one of the best ones overall, though to be fair a lot of them are really REALLY good. Painwheel's comes to mind I think. The overall tone of the game is actually extremely dark and I love it.  Cerebella's story mode begins with the BEST FUCKING BEST MUSIC in the entire game.New character info here in this video - Beowulf. I dunno wtf this means. There's a character in AGK! that's named, and I say this literally, "Wave." | ||

Off the top of my head in the comics ice-man becomes silly, turns out his ice powers = control of all moisture and he at one point goes berserk and decides to freeze fucking everything. Plenty of x-men have been possessed by the phoenix which is basically the incarnation of all life in the universe (It really, really, really likes the x-men). Wolverine's regen is hilarious and basically made wolverine virtually unkillable since it pretty much allowed him to rebound from anything (Until the series aptly named wolverine's death). Elixir is a mutant with power over biology so he can re-write genes or even just give cancer to people and Mister M is another mutant who controls all atoms at a subatomic levels. Basically omega level mutants are absurd borderline reality warpers. | ||
