Hyperion has the unique ability to stand there and repeatedly special intercept without hitting this opponent. This alone puts him far ahead in endgame content.
But I notice the first hit of his SP 1 whiffing against big champs like infinity Thanos at times. Wanted to post it in the bugs section, but kept forgetting.
Have you tried going for a “deep dex”? Like a last second dex? I use Hype a ton on my mini(4/55), and I’ve found that allows his first hit to have the correct distance. Hope that helps @Kill_Grey.

Well, I've noticed that delaying my dex enough for the opponent to begin another combo hit makes the special guaranteed to hit such an opponent. An early dex might be risky instead.

Edit: Now I understand your comment, and yes, I do so. But against like 98% of other champs, it doesn't matter how much you delay your dex or otherwise, cuz the special is guaranteed to hit them.
But nevertheless, the way to eliminate the problem altogether is to not even dash back, and actually intercept the opponent's dash with the SP 1. It's much riskier as in the situation where your device doesn't even realize you're pressing the special button lol.
Yeah. Another one that comes to mind is ghost without wasp sp2 vs some xl people.
Huh, haven't noticed that one yet. Nowadays, I just parry before going for specials with ghost because of the weird AI tendencies. I don't run her with synergies, lol.

Yeah that’s the safe strategy. I’ve gotten messed up a few times vs sentinel, it doesn’t whiff, but XL champs tend to block right when I dex.

Every champ I fight does that nowadays 😅

It is too soon to tell really. Almost no one has CGR, so how can we honestly compare. So until further testing, Hyperion is better.

I feel this thread should probably have been made at least 6 months in the future when CGR is more in circulation, because he's far from the basics as of now.
In that time, most users will see the value in CGR but will also appreciate Hyperion even more. He's a timeless champion with an extremely rewarding and OP playstyle. Power Gain and Fury into oblivion.
The appreciation can only go so far tho. I’m willing to bet my life saving that a year from now, Cosmic Ghost Rider would be ahead in a poll like this.
I'm a massive advocate for CGR, but I'm not voting for either. They're both insane champions. CGR has better damage output, but Hyperion can be more satisfying to play. CGR has more utility but Hyperion has Regen. So you want the truth? One isn't better than the other, this poll is a matter of preference and nothing more.
But if CGR has better damage out & better utility, how is Hyper better. You used play satisfactory as a reason, but that’s completely subjective. Someone could find Groot satisfying to play.
Because he has the quickest access to Power Gain and Fury buffs in the game. It's super rewarding and you end up nuking opponents without doing much.
But still, power gain & fury is only good for dealing damage... which CGR does plenty more of. Technically, Groot has more Fury than both of them, but he’s obviously not better.

I think most people just haven’t played CGR yet, but Hyperion, being an MCOC classic... more people are favored towards him. Give it a year, & I guarantee that CGR would pull far ahead in a poll like this. He isn’t even in the Featured yet, & he already has 26% of the vote on Hyperion, one of the greatest champs in the history of the game.

I'm certain the poll would be a lot closer in a couple of months from now. I couldn't say one would be ahead of the other. It all comes down to preference of playstyle when it comes to these two champs. You need to be very meticulous when playing Cosmic Ghost Rider because there is a lot going on, and it's easy to lose track of which buffs were triggered and which ones have yet to be triggered when you want to reset your Judgement cycle. Although Cosmic Ghost Rider has a LOT more going for him than Hyperion - in terms of damage, utility, and even animations - a lot of the player base will be a lot more comfortable playing Hyperion. Power Gain leading to SP3 intercepts, Stun on the SP2 and access to Fury off a far reaching heavy are incredibly satisfying mechanics in his playstyle. You ask me? They're neck and neck at the top of the Cosmic class.

Yo, why we suddenly forgetting about CMM?

Aleor

I haven't played cgr myself and haven't seen a lot of vids on him, but I belive you have to use different combos like gr? And don't want to dex? Those thing alone make his playstyle a lot more limited. Hyperion has decent damage, but it's not the highest in the game. What makes him great of he works for so many things. Can't say that about cgr yet.

And finally, give me frkn 6* Hyperion! 6* r3 Hype is all I want

Will3808

I’m probably in the minority here but I don’t see the hype about hyperion. Now when you compare that to cosmic ghost rider who is absolutely insane, there’s no contest. CGR any day of the week.

Hyperion's insane power gain gives him the unique ability to repeatedly special intercept which is much more useful than you might expect, and the flexibility in how you can play him far surpasses that of CGR. CGR will be more dominant in certain parts of the game, but overall, Hyperion's going to be a lot more practical and therefore more useful overall.

A new champ was released with some big yellow numbers and people jump straight on the hype train lol. What else is new

Actually, you jumped on the Hype train.

Nameless_IW

The reason why Hyperion is winning this pool is because he is an older champ and vast majority of people have him, whereas CGR is still fairly new so most people haven't had the luxury to play with him. Also it helps Hyperion that he is a banger of a champ.
Hyperion
Furies and Power Gain
Poison Immunity
Incinerate
Armor Break
Stun
Tremendous damage potential

CGR
Huge Precision buff
Cruelty, Fury, Aptitude buff
Bleed and incinerate immunity
Unblockable
Armor break
Power Lock, heal block, fate seal
Huge damage potential

Both are very powerful, and offer different playstyle. can't go wrong with either option.

Agent_X_zzz

Yawn big yellow numbers makes the world go crazy. Just like Full and Namor did, just how sunspot does.

Lots of people hate on hype saying he's trash but he is a beast and isint always at 1% all the time

While CGR is cool and all Hype will always be in my heart as The Cosmic God, so many ways to play him, his heal is fantastic his powergain is fantastic his Incinerates are great esp paired up with despair and his fury's are fantastic I was hitting 50k mediums in cav eq, his energy resistance is great nice armour break and poison immunity.

Gogeta91199

both are top-shelf champions. hype is a 2016 champ but is still so viable in the current meta of the game but his damage is more RNG based. CGR on the other hand is a newly released champ and therefore has an upper hand with his abilities not dependent on RNG, his damage after a single rotation goes berserk, and can finish fights very quickly.

Hyperion is much more versatile to play with.

I voted for cgr but hype is a no pushover himself. My r4 sig 80 hyp cleared that pesky evades adaptoid in v2 just by spamming sp1 intercept nothing else...i tired all i could with thing and vtd and whatever i had at that time to try and try again. It was so frustrating. And one day just felt like trying hyp sp1 intercept and that day finished v2. Just like that. That power gain of hype is BGT.

Also came across a new style of heavy countering using hype. Checkout the below video, no idea if the guy is on forums but kudos to him. Atleast i jave never seen this type of countering using hype.

rcm2017

And that is probably why hype is not yet released as a 6* innthe game yet. He is bloody op with that power gain and easy to access furies with no number cap.

Texas_11

The allure of CGR will wear off soon. Hype has that SP1 that I use more than i like to admit to stop healing with despair, basically a heal block champ.

CGR while great , there are a lot of factors at play for him. I don’t think he will be better than surfer when the time comes for his release. I watched a war video with him from legacy and it took a little time.

I also think we get too wrapped up in damage and not in practical usage , cmm can still shurg off everything and she has armor breaks like crazy.

But, overall I think cosmic class is lacking so we are happy about a new solid addition to the game.

At the end of the day who cares?

He's better than Surfer and as practical to use as CMM.

There's a reason he's being compared to Hyperion, it's because Hyperion is more practical to use.

Since when the heck did champion release dates matter? Lol

mate champion release matters because the mechanics of the game were not the same in the beginning. there was no slow before, no passive debuffs,etc . you cannot compare ironman Og with Ghost or daredevil with nick fury.

Shep

CGR is 2 new and most people dont have em to really compare.

Nobody with CGR and Hype both Dupped at 5/65 is voting for Hype. Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble, but it’s true.

Please prove me wrong.

Or it could go in the complete opposite direction with time, primary example of this is sunspot. When he was first released , the hype was huge, i even saw comments saying hed be nerfed for his damage output. But now look at him, the general consensus is that his utility is lackluster.

The same can happen to CGR, yes he has massive damage, but his utility doesn’t even come close to hype, cmm, corvus.
