With Emma Frost being able to mentally affect opponents, would it be possible to expand Magneto(s) abilities to interact with Telekinetics or Telepaths and resist them (sort of like how Magnetism works, but with Marvel NOW! Magneto it would be as constant as Classic Magneto)?
@Kabam Miike shouldn’t juggernaut and magneto both be immune to any psychic ability triggered by Emma Frost as both wear helmets to prevent that?
We call it out in the Spotlight that you'll see closer to her release date, but yes they are! As well as Magneto (Marvel Now!) and Unstoppable Colossus.
Don't panic just yet! This is not like the Thanos inversion. It only lasts the duration (plus 0.1 second afterwards) of the Special Attack itself and is much more manageable! This is something we payed very close attention to during play testing.
Is it unavoidable? Say she launches an attack... Am I going to get inverted controls even if I am not hit by the attack?
You know what it sounds like?
Like if you try to evade it, you might swipe right into it, because she inverts you -- and that would be aweosome
Awesome: extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear.

Yes. The Inversion activates when the Special Attack is activated. It is regardless of whether or not it hits you. It's a part of her Signature Ability and the fact that it does not need to hit you can actually work in your favor, since it won't be a surprise, and getting hit by it won't suddenly change the controls. Is she Awakened? Yes? Then you need to be ready for inverted controls.
OH THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME
I thought that's where this was going -- when it triggers, you're inverted, so it sounds like you might wanna stand still and take that block damage instead of trying to dexterity out...and I actually kinda like that concept. Speed of Thought and all that
Please no... Why in the heck is an inverted controls mechanic being added to a character besides Thanos? This had better be a thing that only happens if you are hit by a special, because I don't think I can stand AW if this something we have to deal with in the future...
That didn't take long for someone to complain about. I love the idea. Will it suck? Probably but it brings some freshness and more strategy to thw game.
Lol the fact that someone thinks inverted controls is "fresh" is amusing... Now let me clarify... I am not complaing, AS LONG as this mechanic is avoidable. If it is something that happens regardless of whether you are hit by the special, well that's another story.
Inverted controls isn't a method that Kabam is using to "freshen" the game... IF it is a mechanic that is unavoidable than it can be nothing other than a money grab.
The Thanos boss fight was one of the best fights theyve had yet. Give things a chance before dismissing them.
So, making it harder to evade/punish Domino medium ... but not fixing her block breaking.
#Fun&Interactive
Go watch Dorky Diggity Daves video on this. Explains what's happening. I have yet to see any actual block breaks from her.
Can you explain what the video says? As I've blocked domino and had her break my block ... and Kabam removing one of the ways to counter her/make her even harder is dumb imo... but I get it, sell more ally revives/pots.

If she were able to fire two Specials rapidly, would the Inversion reset to normal on the Second Special or stay inverted?
I think the inverted controls thing is going to be an incredibly annoying mechanic to interact with, but I do have to give props to Kabam for figuring out a reasonably decent way to put telepaths in the game. I had been thinking about how they would do someone like Purple Man or Professor X or someone else who can just force people to do things, and this seems like a good way to do it, even if it will be annoying to deal with.
I'm frankly more worried about the Omega Red thing that causes damage just by being near him. I'll wait for more details on how this is triggered and/or how to avoid it (it's not like we can just not ever be near him, you have to get close to punch him at some point), but it sounds like it's going to be pretty annoying.

That is gonna be...interesting. It looked from the video, just my gut feeling, that there's a delay mechanism...maybe 0.5 second?
The real problem: If you let yourself get backed into the corner. Might get melted quick, fast and in a hurry
Now more than ever, people might wanna get their intercept game on point
Inverted controls weren’t too bad once you got the hang of them, but I fail to see how this is a beneficial mechanic for offense. This mechanic/ability is literally only useful for AWD or for you guys in quests. There’s no offensive benefit at all.
I am so hyped for Omega Red! He was my favorite character in the old Marvel Vs Capcom games. And I love using both Rogue and Mephisto, and he looks like a combination of both, so perfect!
@Kabam Miike shouldn’t juggernaut and magneto both be immune to any psychic ability triggered by Emma Frost as both wear helmets to prevent that?
We call it out in the Spotlight that you'll see closer to her release date, but yes they are! As well as Magneto (Marvel Now!) and Unstoppable Colossus.
I like how with this and Korg , you are making Magneto more relevant, however , as a suggestion I've seen from other players, the idea to make Magnetism like Blade's Danger Sense would make him the top dog he should be!
@Kabam Miike Can you please talk to the dev team about Domino? Evading and punishing her medium was like the only legit way to fight her and now they have taken that away. Who decides this stuff??
Domino interacts with every singe mastery making her signature ability a pain. you just keep on degenerating by just avoiding her. Now, that medium was really a legit way to fight her but they don't want this. All they care about is how to make us spend more. Anything that benefits the player is always fix immediately but all other bugs are left in limbo under investigation
With the release of the upcoming update 20.0 I have to say it looks nice with new contents, BUT it's missing major pieces to the game. The major pieces to the new update is a FIX for the poor performance Lagging, and Crashing issues plus connection issues, including emergency maintenance. As a player I would've expected the 20.0 update to focus more on performance rather than just new champs, events,and maps. Hope kabam can give their players something to really look forward to besides new content that will be hard to play because of poor performance. This is a topic that needs to be discussed and not a 1 comment from admin then closed thread.
I R5d her as a AW defender and that super slow animation medium made her USELESS.. ppl could slowly evade medium and attack her using 0 skill.. appreciate it
Also to the “Domino block break” whiners.. she does not break any blocks. She breaks potential parries sometimes because that is her ability. Critical failure. If you go duel domino right now and hold block, she will never break it.

OK, that’s pretty cool, don’t probably plan to use them for the UC difficulty, but that would make getting a juggernoooo, less awful
Please buff Magneto... even if he counters new champs, he cannot kill anything in 3 minutes
I agree, I can’t believe his Sp1 was nerfed a couple years ago.. he is garbage and needs a boost. Noones going to R4 him because he’s a 1-2 champ counter.

No, I won't if you are to lazy to go watch it.

all this place is are people complaining and whining and its just a mess. I actually feel bad for the moderators..

anyone remember the 90s x-men series? omega red was defeated by the mighty COLOSSUS

actually she can.. She can control someone mind. Her telepathy just like professor x. She is an omega level telepath.
