Marvel Contest of Champions Posted a Shang-Chi teaser on YouTube and Twitter



The description could possibly hint at Mister Negative coming as well because of the Leak that we got

All in all very excited for next month

    This is Hype

    No, Hype was released in 2016

    My bad

    This is Shang-Chi
    Or maybe this is the ultimate tease and they’re actually releasing Mystique
    They want to release Mystique but apparently her mechanics especially with shape-shifting is easier said than done and that's what's been holding that up.

    Preloaded shapeshifting from the pre-fight screen should lower the load. Maybe limit her to a few guises per day and give her a roster screen to support changes.

    Glad they're taking their time with that because I don't want a Mystique that only shifts in Sp3 cut scenes and add nothing to the in-fight dynamic (I'm looking at you, Vision (AoU & Classic); lacking phasing and diamond density abilities in fight with phasing in the Sp3 only).

    You have to also remember that shapeshifters can take the form of an individual but they can't fully replicate Powers. So she's not going to be throwing lightning bolts or Optic blasts like any of the other X-Men. Probably the only ones that would be of use would be Colossus' ironskin, wolverines claws and archangel's wings

    Can her claws be adamantium like wolvie's? Also emma, iceman, maybe beast and sabertooth of mutant class only. Also thing, Luke cage, venom, groot, tigra, hit monkey, rocket, squirrel, korg, kingpin, dd (become blind?)
    And yes, we already have rogue, who is supposed to steal powers while touching opponent... Doesn't really work like that.
    Legion could be nice with limited pool of powers. But that would've be like making many champs to release one, so not gonna happen probably

    I'm excited for Shang Chi. I wonder what class he'll be. Skill or Mystic most certainly, but which? And will he have a weapon as teased in the MCOC teaser? So many questions. I want to see him Kabam!!

    I'm fairly certain he will have non-contact weapon attacks

    If he can keep the fighting style as comic then it is pretty great.

    Looks like Mister Negative is science and he has some sort of exhaustion mechanic, and Shang-Chi is skill

    edit: just watched the video again, and Shang-Chi's specials were 5 hits, and they were all crits. looks like we might have another Skill Corvus on our hands

    In fact they made it a point in the first X-men film with Wolverine vs Mystique. He sliced right through her claws with no problem.

    Shang-Chi SP looks awesome and reminds me of Street Fighter 2 Ryu doing Hadouken.

    If you watch Mister Negative’s special attack and compare it to Shang-Chi’s (not his special 3), it gives very little power. It looks like Mister Negative will also have some power gain reduction abilities.
