00:00:16,679 --> 00:00:22,199
Hello, and welcome to side Quest. This is our weekly video game show

2
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,359
here at Date First. I'm your
host, Dylan. I have with me

3
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,440
Bastion Boy himself, Taylor Field.
How are you doing, my friend,

4
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
I'm doing good, happy to be
here, happy to talk about today's topic.

5
00:00:34,039 --> 00:00:38,000
I'm looking forward to this so m
hyeah. Yeah, it should be

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,280
a fun show. We're mostly gonna
be talking about Marvel Rivals, which is

7
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,000
the latest Marvel game announced, and
we're gonna do like a fun kind of

8
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:49,640
comparing that to Overwatch because it looks
very freaking similar, and we're gonna compare

9
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:52,640
and contrast some characters and talk about
the trailer and all that. So I

10
00:00:52,679 --> 00:00:55,079
should be fun. We'll talk about
the games we've been playing. We're doing

11
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:00,240
a little draft check in, I
will say also today we're recording the on

12
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,400
April first, the worst day to
try and find additional topics for the show,

13
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,280
because I'm out here googling. I'm
all these video game websites. I'm

14
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,879
saying like, oh, a Ghostbuster's
Lego game was announced, and it's like,

15
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,799
oh no, that was a that
was a joke, all this other

16
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:18,040
you know, every website, Yeah, every website is posting their their funny

17
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,879
jokes, you know, today and
it was just a mess. The worst

18
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,680
day to be hunting down news for
a show. I gotta say, yeah,

19
00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:26,519
it's a bad day to post an
episode on Crypto Clues too, because

20
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:30,959
people like, oh, this is
all fake, Like yeah, no way

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,719
to defend yourself on that. But
I was looking at that and I was

22
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,599
like, man, I like Ghostbusters. I don't know if that would make

23
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,400
a good Lego game, Like I
don't know if there's a ton of characters.

24
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,040
I don't know if the characters would
really have distinct move sets, Like

25
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:45,640
do you because you're more knowledgeable that
series than I am. I just saw

26
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,920
the Newest movie, But I don't
know, do you think they would make

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,359
for a good Lego game? Like
I guess they took other ones like Incredibles

28
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,599
doesn't have a ton of characters,
but they did a whole game of that,

29
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:57,000
so I'm sure they could make it
work. But it seems like it

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,280
seems like it'd be cool and like
a Warner Bros. Like crossover serve game.

31
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,879
But I don't know if a full
Lego game would work for something like

32
00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:07,760
that. That's tricky. Yeah,
I mean I would equate it to probably

33
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,599
Lego Jurassic World, and some of
the characters that you can play as are

34
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:16,439
pretty basic, like scientists and like
right, dinosaur handler kind of stuff like

35
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:21,159
that, those kind of Indiana Jones
right as well. There's probably not tons

36
00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:23,719
of characters because that was even before
Dial of Destiny and stuff, So I

37
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:27,400
guess they've done Lego games that have
smaller rosters, but I just think of

38
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:30,759
like Star Wars and Marvel that have
like two or three hundred characters or something

39
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,840
like that. So but yeah,
anyway, I got I got a little

40
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,960
tripped up by that, But yeah, it's gonna be a fun show.

41
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,360
What do we got for shout outs? You know, join the discord where

42
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,039
we had a discussion about Marvel's rivals
when that was announced. It was fun

43
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:49,240
to see everyone's takes on that.
You can hop over the Patreon to get

44
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,879
episodes early and add free and vote
on various polls, and especially right now

45
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,639
is good because we one thing we're
doing in summers, we're doing a twenty

46
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,520
twelve Golden Geeks and people can go
in there and vote for movies they want

47
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,520
us to watch for that as well, so all sorts of fun things.

48
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,159
You are a lot of interactivity,
I should say with the patreons, that's

49
00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:09,479
a good thing to do. What
else are we doing? We did,

50
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:13,520
we did me and you did a
gods Olver's Kong or sorry, gods will

51
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,879
X Kong review. I always mess
up when I say it. The other

52
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,439
day. It's the season of X
So you know, more Marvel stuff.

53
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:23,879
Go check out our marvels or our
X Men ninety seven weekly reviews that we're

54
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,199
doing. Halo's done now, that's
long gone at this point. That's way

55
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,240
in the dust trail on the back
there. You know, we got a

56
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,719
weekly newscasts and all that kind of
fun stuff. So lots, what's going

57
00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:37,639
on? Any other shout outs from
you, mister Field? Oh? I

58
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,599
mean, the only other thing I
could think of is I mean, obviously,

59
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:42,000
we've got so many movies coming down. The pipeline came in, the

60
00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:45,000
planting the apes. We got an
early screening, so might be reviewing that

61
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:49,039
a few days early. How early
is it? I think it was two

62
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:52,520
days. That's pretty good. It's
pretty good. It's not a week,

63
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,039
but two days. It's a day
more than Fall Guy. That's true,

64
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,840
that's true. That's an improvement.
Yeah, cool, Yeah, of retros

65
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,919
and movies coming out in the next
couple months here, which is nice because,

66
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,759
honestly, in terms of game releases, especially when I was, you

67
00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:09,439
know, looking at planning out the
rest of April for side Quest, I'm

68
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:12,919
like, man, there's nothing releasing
that I'm picking up and looking through these

69
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,279
lists, I don't think anyone else's
on here at Diversus like picking up any

70
00:04:15,279 --> 00:04:18,360
of these games. So I have
a lot of fun topics that have been

71
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,160
sitting in the backlog, so I
think we'll bring those out this month,

72
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:25,600
and of course we'll make some fun
show. We'll always make it fun and

73
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,680
interesting. But yeah, I one
thing, so let's get right into it.

74
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,839
The first thing I want to do
actually is do a check in of

75
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,360
our draft, because it's been I
think a month at least since we've checked

76
00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:39,240
in, and there's been a lot
of game releases on it. So if

77
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,079
you forget back in January and every
January we do a draft where we all

78
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,839
pick five video games and then we're
looking at the Metacritics score and then we're

79
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,319
going to compare who has the best
rated games by the end of the year.

80
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,639
I'm currently last places, which is
classic for me. In this draft

81
00:04:55,079 --> 00:04:57,759
because I only have one game out
right now, which is Final Fantasy seven

82
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,600
Reworth, But very soon helled By
two is gonna come out, so that'll

83
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,839
be a new one on my list, and then the rest of my stuff

84
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:06,480
is like months from now, if
not, might be in the Repick territory

85
00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:11,000
in terms of not even coming out. So I'm still in last. Kirkland

86
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,399
has two games on his list now. He had Southport South Park snow Day

87
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:19,120
come out, sitting at fifty six
for the five version. Not no good,

88
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:23,120
not a great start for him,
the guy who won the first year

89
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,360
we did this draft. Uh,
not looking great for him over there.

90
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,519
Oh that Uh, that stings.
I've heard. I've heard pretty bad stuff

91
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:35,040
about that game. So maybe,
uh does he know? Does he know

92
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,240
this? I don't think he knows
yet. I'll have to. I'll have

93
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,079
to surprise attack them next time he's
on se Quest. That was his first

94
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,720
pick too, now that I'm looking
at it, so yikes, that might

95
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:50,560
be the That might be the worst
rated first pick ever in the history of

96
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,560
the draft. And then he also
had a Rise of Rona come out,

97
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,360
which is sitting at a nice seventy
six, so that's much better. The

98
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,000
rest of his games are waiting in
the wings, so he's above me at

99
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,279
the very least, because I mean, two games, no matter what,

100
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,199
it's gonna get you over one game
unless they're really that bad. But yeah,

101
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:09,279
South Park not a great review there, and then it's really once again,

102
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,800
it has been the whole year a
very tight race between you and Travis.

103
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,079
Right now, Travis is at a
total of three hundred and twenty points

104
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,480
because Peach Showtime came out with a
seventy four, he already had like a

105
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,240
Dragon of eighty six, Holdover was
two at eighty three, and Position Pacific

106
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:27,000
Drive at seventy seven, so he's
looking pretty solid right now. His last

107
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,240
game is Indiana Jones, which I
think is a good chance of like at

108
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,720
least eighties. You know, that's
a good, uh reputable studio there,

109
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:38,279
and I think that's definitely coming out
this year. So looking like a pretty

110
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,439
decent list for him. But Taylor, you currently have him beat. You

111
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:45,160
have a three hundred and twenty six
points. You have six points more than

112
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,600
him, so you are you previously
Marverus dot Kong at seventy seven points,

113
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:53,000
tech An eight to eighty nine,
which is your really good one Dragon's Dogma

114
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,439
two has come out now, that's
at an eighty eight on the Xbox version.

115
00:06:56,639 --> 00:06:59,720
I think there's been a lot of
controversy with like mostly the PC version,

116
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:01,920
but maybe I don't know if that's
dropped. Honestly, it could have,

117
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,560
because I know that game's taking a
definitely negative swing in the news cycle.

118
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,560
But you could double check that feeling. I mean, I'm always gonna

119
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,240
check these numbersain at the end of
the year. But then you also quietly

120
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:15,759
had Terminator Dark Fight come out,
which I didn't not even realize that was

121
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:16,720
out. Forgot it was on your
list, forgot it was a game at

122
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,439
all until recently, and that came
out a few weeks ago at seventy two.

123
00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:25,160
So yeah, like Dragon's dog one, Tech and eight were really really

124
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,040
good ones for you, the other
two not so much. And then your

125
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:32,560
last one's Warhammer forty K Space Marine
two coming out and I think September,

126
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:36,759
so a little while to wait for
that, but and who knows how that

127
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,560
one's gonna do. So you're in
a decent spot. But Travis is right

128
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,279
on your tail and Indiana Jones,
I don't know if it's really really great.

129
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,160
It could it could bump them over
top of you. I gotta say,

130
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:50,839
I just froze. I'm sorry,
did you miss everything I said?

131
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,720
I just missed. I'm so sorry. I heard I heard you like yeah,

132
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:58,519
Terminator, Dark Fate and then I
then it like crash. It's like

133
00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:01,639
it's all good. Well, I
see that you have the draft open so

134
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,759
you can see where the points lie. But yeah, how are you feeling

135
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:09,439
about Warhammer being your last pick versus
Indiana Jones's traps last pick? Like?

136
00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:13,199
Do you think that six point lead
for you is gonna be enough to clinch

137
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,480
out the victory here? Because who
knows with Warhammer, right, who knows

138
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,759
what's gonna turn that. I don't
know what the Warhammer community is like,

139
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:24,680
yeah, that's that's anybody's card,
I mean for me, Like, I

140
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,600
was definitely concerned about the Terminator pick, but that's seventy two. I'll take

141
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,320
it. That's that's pretty dang good. Uh Dragon's Dogma. I'm very happy

142
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:35,039
that worked out because I remember I
was struggling for picks when we're getting down

143
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,960
to those yeah, those ones there, but uh yeah, hopefully Warhammer just

144
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,120
does something because the six point lead
is not gonna do it unless any of

145
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,720
Jones gets five points, but I
don't think it's gonna go that that low,

146
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,600
So now I was just double checking. I think Dragon's dumba actually did

147
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,120
drop a couple points down to eighty
six, so that makes it even closer.

148
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,679
And once again, I haven't double
fact checked all these numbers again because

149
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,039
I don't want to do that every
single month because these numbers changed often.

150
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:05,879
But I dropped you two points,
so now it's even closer. Four points

151
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:09,399
difference between you and Travis Borring me
double checking all these scores. But yeah,

152
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,440
very very close. So that's gonna
be fun to keep an eye on.

153
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,440
We should have more. Actually,
I don't think there's really any releas

154
00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:20,720
is gonna update the draft until like
the summer, so we're gonna be sitting

155
00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:22,960
pretty for a bit here. You
can hold on to that number one slot

156
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000
for the probably first half of the
year and then and then things will get

157
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,559
interesting again in the summer. So
fun to always check in on that.

158
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,480
God damn that south Park rating.
That's so bad. I feel I feel

159
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,559
bad for our boy Kirkland. Okay, let's let's talk about the games we've

160
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,240
been playing. And first I'm gonna
throw it to you, because I don't

161
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:46,720
need to shill potion problem today because
you have played it and you wanted to

162
00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:50,840
talk about it, So uh,
tell the people and be brutally honest.

163
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:56,000
How how is my game? I
think your game is wonderful. I think

164
00:09:56,039 --> 00:10:01,919
it's absolutely delightful for me. The
score combined with the aesthetic, it's just

165
00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:05,519
so it's so fulfilling. I felt
like I was just swept away and I

166
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,399
was just really I was just absorbed
into into what I was doing. I

167
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,559
was really having a good time,
and it reminded me of just this with

168
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,240
how simple it was. It just
had a nostalgic vibe for me, like

169
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,440
I was I was a young gamer
again, and I was really really enjoying

170
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,919
it. It just feels like this
is something you could sink so much time

171
00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:28,159
into. Like two hours goes by
and you're like, oh my god,

172
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,000
I didn't realize that much time went. But because you're just you're you're enjoying

173
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,399
it, You're having fun, and
I'm really happy with how how you you've

174
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:39,159
executed this and and how the little
animations you've included to are really really enjoyable,

175
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,559
whether it's like your knife you're chopping
or you're stabbing or you just like

176
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,559
cutting apart different ingredients. Is very
satisfying because when I was breaking things apart,

177
00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:52,519
but oh, I can I can
like break this apart like the spider.

178
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,879
I can break more into like different
parts and stuff like that, use

179
00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:58,039
the parts differently. I like that. That's a lot of cool little details

180
00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:01,759
that you've included. I found one
thing that I don't know if it's a

181
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:07,120
glitch, and it's completely irrelevant,
but it's just for me. Sometimes I'm

182
00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:11,080
just weird when I'm on the computer
and I'll be like left clicking. Sometimes

183
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,840
my my ring finger will just like
tap my right click button. I don't

184
00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:20,360
know if it's because I just I
just have like energy or something like that.

185
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:26,039
When I when I click on it, I noticed that the potion's ingredients

186
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,799
book would flip all the way to
the last page m and then have to

187
00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:33,320
like cycle back to the page I
was on to see the ingredients and stuff.

188
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,120
Okay, so I got a couple
tips for you. So yeah,

189
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:37,879
if you if you right click the
book, like on the right or left

190
00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:41,000
page, it'll automatically take you to
the front or back so you can quickly

191
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,320
get there. But then also you
can write click anything any ingredient, any

192
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,039
potion, recipe, any tool,
and it'll immediately take you to that page

193
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,559
in the book. So yeah,
I eventually I added that pretty late,

194
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,440
but it was just getting to a
pint where there's so many pages that it

195
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,840
took so long to find things,
and I want to be able to people

196
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,360
to will to quickly reference things.
So that way, if you're making a

197
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,799
potion, you can be like,
I want to go to the page for

198
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,759
this ingredient because I'm forgetting something.
But then you don't have to like find

199
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:09,559
the potion again, so you can
just write click on all that stuff.

200
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:13,960
So yeah, if that does happen
and you wanted to get back to your

201
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,399
potion page, just right click on
that order and then we'll take you back

202
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,759
to that page in the book.
So yeah, so that I understound what

203
00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:24,279
you were doing there. But yeah, hopefully now that you know that,

204
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:26,399
you know. It's funny that that
feature I've added and I tried to like

205
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,039
type tutorialize it in so many different
spots because people seem to miss it,

206
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,799
and clearly I've still like failed at
that. So I need to think about

207
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,919
another way that I can teach that
to the player, because that's a that's

208
00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:41,639
a very very important thing, really
convenient. But it's also like maybe that's

209
00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:43,840
something you don't you don't maybe don't
need it in the first like two or

210
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,120
three levels, so you kind of
forget that it exists. So yeah,

211
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,960
I got it. That's a good
thing to bring up because now I got

212
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,799
to think of a new way that
I can kind of remind people to use

213
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:54,120
that feature. But yeah, I'm
glad you glad you brought that up.

214
00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:58,120
Thank you for all those kind words. That's uh, that's very sweet.

215
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,840
I'm glad that you like the esthetic. That's that's definitely a part that I've

216
00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:05,799
been maybe maybe not nervous the right
word, but like I really didn't start

217
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,279
doing pixelart until like recently, so
I I you know, some in some

218
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:09,960
of my sprites, I'm like,
I look at them, I'm really happy

219
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,000
with them, and other ones I'm
like, eh, it's kind of the

220
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,480
best I could do for today.
So I'm glad that you like it.

221
00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:18,320
And of course, yeah, I'manda's
music is fucking incredible. I'm so uh

222
00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:22,799
so happy that that that's in there. And I think that helps add to

223
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,840
the that nostalgic factor that you that
you mentioned that was definitely something we discussed

224
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,720
when she was making the music,
so I'm glad that that that has come

225
00:13:30,759 --> 00:13:33,480
across as well. That's cool.
No, you should be absolutely super proud

226
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:37,320
of yourself. I think it's it's
a lot of hard work and I feel

227
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,120
like the passion is definitely there when
you play this game. So I really

228
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:43,559
can't recommend it enough. I mean, if you're if you're on Steam,

229
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,080
make sure you wishless this game.
It's it's fan freakantastic. I didn't even

230
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,879
have to say today look at it. Have you thought about doing like because

231
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,840
I know you have like different different
types of bonus levels and in the main

232
00:13:54,879 --> 00:14:01,200
campaign and whatnot, have you thought
about doing like a timed trial? There

233
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:07,120
are three time trial levels in the
bonus levels, and you unlock them pretty

234
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,720
late, like I forget which the
first time, but there's three different ones.

235
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,159
You unlock them by beating campaign levels, so you do unlock three of

236
00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:18,600
them later on. I did think
about other bonus objectives that would be on

237
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:20,840
like each level and like time,
having like a timer for each of them.

238
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,879
Ultimately, I decided I didn't really
want that to be like what the

239
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:28,879
game was about. I didn't want
you to feel like that pressure of time,

240
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,440
but I still wanted that to be
an element, so instead of yeah,

241
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,480
I just did it through like three
specific levels, and I'm pretty happy

242
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,320
with them. I think they're really
like well set up, like you have

243
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,639
to make a lot of posh or
orders and orders to come through after certain

244
00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:45,600
amounts of time of times too,
so it gets pretty chaotic. So that's

245
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,120
a fun way to kind of see
that. So if you want to try

246
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,200
those and you haven't gone to that
point in the unlocking, you haven't unlocked

247
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,399
them, you can just I mean
in that version you have, you can

248
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,639
just like immediately unlock the levels and
you could go check it out, or

249
00:14:56,679 --> 00:14:58,000
you'll unlock it at some point by
getting through the campaign. So yeah,

250
00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:01,759
there's a little bit of that in
there. But yeah, I've heard that

251
00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:05,720
from a few people actually that they
want to maybe try that out, So

252
00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:09,559
I don't know, maybe that's something
to consider in the future. Is adding

253
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,679
more like time bonus badges or rewards
you could get for doing the levels quickly?

254
00:15:16,279 --> 00:15:20,519
Cool? Well, thank you so
much for that. Yeah, once

255
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:24,320
again, people go check it on
Steam. Don't have releasedtay yet, working

256
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:28,720
on it hopefully pretty soon, I'll
say before summer. That's what I'll say.

257
00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:31,919
That's what I'll say for the release
there. Right now, the game's

258
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:33,279
pretty much done. I'm just trying
to wait to get a little bit more

259
00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:37,879
feedback from Taylor and other people play
testing so I can fix up those issues

260
00:15:37,919 --> 00:15:41,360
that people have before it goes live. But yeah, you can also also

261
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,600
check out the have an Instagram and
Twitter page for it. You can check

262
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,960
those out if you want to get
more updates and see some other stuff as

263
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,720
well. The trailers out there now
of course you can go check that out

264
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:54,960
see what looks like. And thank
you to everyone who's already wish listed it.

265
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,559
So far, numbers are doing pretty
good on Steam. I'm happy with

266
00:15:56,639 --> 00:16:02,679
it so far. So yeah,
yeah, me and you have also been

267
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,159
playing OLS Trials. I don't know
if you wanted to add on any thoughts

268
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,200
beyond our review from a couple of
weeks ago, but that's been I've been

269
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,960
really enjoying that, going in the
harder levels. Some of them are so

270
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,159
freaking hard, but I like it. I like the different kind of challenge

271
00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:19,799
it poses over the first round of
levels. Mm hmm, yeah, I've

272
00:16:21,679 --> 00:16:23,960
I've been enjoying it thoroughly. I'm
glad that we've been playing. And even

273
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,159
though I know there's some new stuff
coming to Call of Duty that Travis has

274
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,519
been excited for, I'm hoping that
we still invest time into this game because

275
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:37,600
I've gotten enough tickets to release another
agent, and I'm going to try and

276
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,519
grind it and release three of them
so I can unlock the next harder tier

277
00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:44,519
because I really want to try that
with you guys. I've been having a

278
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:48,799
lot of fun going through this,
and I played a little bit yesterday afternoon

279
00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:53,840
before all the Eastern stuff was kind
of hitting the fan, but I managed

280
00:16:53,879 --> 00:16:56,799
to first of all, managed to
get all four of us, me and

281
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,759
three of the random's got a pluses
across the board. It was a premn

282
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:06,799
Yeah, it's crazy. And then
other things too that I unlocked was You're

283
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,519
It was a tool amp and so
your night vision recharges automatically when not being

284
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:18,480
used, which is huge. I
absolutely love that. That's an alternative to

285
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:21,759
like the slippers one, so really
really handy to have. Right there was

286
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,920
There's another one I unlocked too that's
really freaking good. Once you hit like

287
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,200
that twenty eight to twenty nine mark
and I start to feel like, okay,

288
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:33,759
the amps are starting to get more
powerful, like really really good.

289
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,839
Nice. Yeah, and I've almost
gotten all my prescriptions unlocked. I have

290
00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:41,319
two more I have to unlock,
but yeah, I'm just trying to get

291
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,799
as much as I collectively can done
so that way, the that solo mission,

292
00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:48,839
I can kind of breeze through those
because those ambles are just nightmare.

293
00:17:49,559 --> 00:17:52,079
So do you know, do you
know if it's the same mission just like

294
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,119
harder when you do that again?
Okay? Yeah, and you get different

295
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,680
endings every time you do it,
right, So hopefully since you've kind of

296
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:00,960
it before, I mean, I
know, I'm sure there's yeah, other

297
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,319
differences different enemy types or different doors
are locked and whatnot, but hopefully it'll

298
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,039
be easier know that you kind of
know what to expect to some extent,

299
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:12,200
Yeah for sure. Yeah. No, I've been enjoying that too. It's

300
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,519
been a lot of fun. I
even if Ecology's got this new update,

301
00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:18,960
I hope we keep playing it because
I still have much I want to do

302
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,599
in it. And as you mentioned
there, like the upgrades and unlocks get

303
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,519
really fun, and I think that
just kind of keeps branching out more from

304
00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:30,519
that initial uh stuff. So that's
been really fun to just every level up

305
00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:33,559
feels meaningful in that game, which
is cool because for a game like that

306
00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:37,200
like that, they don't really need
that kind of thing, honestly, like

307
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,599
at all, but the fact that
they do have it, I think it's

308
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,119
just a nice sense of progression makes
you want to keep playing. Other than

309
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,440
that playing a lot of the same
old stuff you suck at Parking, which

310
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,920
I talked about last week with Kirklve
and then Solitary Conspiracy a couple of weeks

311
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,559
ago, just really fun enjoying both
of those, but the main game on

312
00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:56,559
want just shout out this week,
this is an old game, this is

313
00:18:56,559 --> 00:19:00,599
a favorite game, Super Smash Brothers. Melee for the Nintendo game Cube,

314
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,480
of course, my favorite game of
all time. Realized that I probably have

315
00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:07,920
not talked about Melee much in like
the side Quest era, and that's because

316
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,480
I haven't been playing a whole lot
of it. But for anyone who's new

317
00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:15,799
or it doesn't know, I've been
playing competitive Melee for like Taylor's been like

318
00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:18,599
ten years. I started in twenty
fourteen, so we're getting to like a

319
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,880
decade of competitive melee in my life, which is kind of crazy that the

320
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,119
time has been flying in that way. But yeah, like I said,

321
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,640
I haven't really been playing much recently. Ever since like COVID hit and then

322
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,559
I moved to Vancouver. I just
never really got back into it in a

323
00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:37,279
major way. But I went to
Battle of BC six over the weekend,

324
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:38,880
which was a really really fun tournament. It was a huge tournament, had

325
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:44,480
like all the big names from Melee, which was really cool. I was

326
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,920
happy that I won a couple sets. I didn't. He didn't know after

327
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,079
all these years, you know,
like how rusty I would be, But

328
00:19:51,279 --> 00:19:52,599
yeah, I did end up winning
a couple sets. I got to play

329
00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:56,599
against a player named Soon Say,
who's like somewhere ranked in the top like

330
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,039
twenty twenty five in the world,
Like he's one of the best players in

331
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,279
the world currently is. It was
really fun to play against him, even

332
00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:04,359
if, like I go into it, I know I'm gonna lose to him,

333
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,039
but it's still like it's a fun
opportunity to get to play against like

334
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:11,519
a known player like that. So
so that was good. And then yeah,

335
00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:15,759
like, honestly, not one of
my favorite players won the tournament,

336
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:18,160
but he's he played really well,
so you know, I'm not too mad

337
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,079
about it, but it was just
so great to see like just such high

338
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,519
level Melee. It was fun to
get back into it and just play matches

339
00:20:23,559 --> 00:20:26,799
with some random people too, And
it was just so much fun to jump

340
00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:30,720
in the back into that game because
it's not like I forget how good it

341
00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:33,599
is. But when i play it
again and I'm just in there and I'm

342
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:36,079
at a setup with someone, I'm
playing on a CRT, and it's like,

343
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,440
there's no game that feels even halfway
as good as Melee feels. It's

344
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,440
just such like the amount of control
you have, the depth of mechanics,

345
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,519
it's insane. And I just even
at this tournament and in watching all these

346
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,880
high level matches, it's seen like
multiple things I've never seen before. Certain

347
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,079
columbos are, certain interactions. Just
goes to show how deep this game is.

348
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:56,519
I've played for thousands of hours and
I'm still seeing new shit that I've

349
00:20:56,519 --> 00:21:00,440
never seen before. It's really really
crazy. So that was such a great

350
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,599
time and it's it's also it's cool
to see because I've been to all these

351
00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:07,839
BATTLEBC this is like a tournament series
six obviously the sixth to one. I've

352
00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:11,039
been all of them except for last
year, because last year happened when I

353
00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:17,160
was in Europe, but it just
it started in like a small like small

354
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,359
well, a pretty big classroom,
but like at UBC, the fact that

355
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,880
this whole tournament was happening in like
a classroom and then there's like one in

356
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,400
like a gym, it's kind of
like, okay, it's a bit dingy.

357
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,079
And now it's at the Vancouver Convention
Center. It's like this huge venue,

358
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,720
really beautiful at the waterfront. Like
it's just so cool to see how

359
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:36,680
much they've grown this tournament series.
Is so happy for those guys, really

360
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,960
great team setting it up over there. So so yeah, man, Melee

361
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,400
still the best game ever, can
confirm after playing a bunch more of it

362
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:45,640
in the last week. It makes
me want to go to more tournaments and

363
00:21:45,759 --> 00:21:49,200
stuff because the Vancouver seene is so
much bigger than Klona two. So that

364
00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:52,720
was always a good, like a
secondary reason that maybe wanted to move to

365
00:21:52,759 --> 00:21:56,160
Vancouver. Now that I'm here,
I haven't really been taking advantage of it.

366
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,480
So yeah, it makes me want
to get back into back into Melee

367
00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:06,200
some more so is it a is
it a variety of mains across the whole

368
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:11,240
tournament or are people kind of sticking
to usually like the same characters because they

369
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:12,839
know these characters excel over others.
How does that work? What do you

370
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:19,079
see there? So for Melee specifically, i'd say, so there's twenty six

371
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,839
characters in the game, I'd say
about ten to twelve of them are like

372
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,880
good enough to win a tournament,
and a tournament of this scale, maybe

373
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,279
you'd shrink that number down to like
six or seven characters, I suppose.

374
00:22:34,759 --> 00:22:37,519
But yeah, like even even in
those characters that are just that tier below,

375
00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:41,000
like they can still do really well. It's just like, you know,

376
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:42,480
I've never seen like an ice climbers
it went a huge major tournament,

377
00:22:42,519 --> 00:22:45,359
but a lot of them have placed
top eight at huge events like over and

378
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,839
over even got like second or third, like really high placements before. But

379
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:56,359
yeah, it's it. I think
it's crazy that sometimes Melee has more because

380
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,839
top eight that's kind of like where
we look at for like that's like the

381
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,400
major point of the tournament. Usually
that's like reserved a Sunday, you play

382
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,960
up until top eight, and that's
like if you made top eight, you're

383
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,519
like one of the best in the
world kind of thing. And it's not

384
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:14,519
rare for Melee to have more character
diversity in it than Ultimate in the top

385
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:17,559
eight, which is pretty insane for
a game that old, and considering Ultimate

386
00:23:17,599 --> 00:23:22,319
has four times ish as many characters
as Melee does. But yeah, you'll

387
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,640
like you'll almost always see a Marth, almost always see a Fox or a

388
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,160
Falco jigglely Puff. But then this
one also had there was a Captain Falcon

389
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,440
in there, Yoshi Yoshi. Currently
there's only one guy who plays Yoshi at

390
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,680
the high level, but he's just
so freaking good that he wins tournaments and

391
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:41,319
it's it's insane because Yoshi is such
a weird character. But Peach is really

392
00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:45,000
good. I played Falcon at this
tournament, who's always been my kind of

393
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,200
go to. There's also chicin Top
eight. So yeah, Top eight had

394
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:51,960
like six or seven or eight characters, which is pretty cool to see.

395
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,480
So yeah, there's there's really good
character diversity in Melee, considering it is

396
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,720
an older game with such a developed
meta. But also, yeah, a

397
00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:03,480
game that like only has as many
characters as it does the fact that that

398
00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:08,960
percentage of them are kind of relevant
is pretty cool to see. That's yes,

399
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,759
even because mm hmm, I went
with my friend Megan who he's actually

400
00:24:14,759 --> 00:24:17,400
appeared on side quest once for the
Diaulu review. He joined me for that,

401
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,200
so he's been on here. He
he's also been playing Melee for almost

402
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,480
ten years as well, and he
in his bracket he had play against a

403
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,720
game and Watch, which is like
a very like one of the worst characters

404
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,079
in the game. But because he's
one of the worst characters, no one

405
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,000
really plays him, and so like
me and him, like most people don't

406
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,880
really have much experience against game and
Watch. This is like that surprise factor

407
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,559
to it as well. And so
he lost the first game against the game

408
00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:40,680
and Watch, and like, you
don't want to lose to a bad character,

409
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:41,720
you know, because that doesn't look
good. But also it's like,

410
00:24:41,799 --> 00:24:44,960
yeah, when's the last time you've
practiced against the game and Watch. But

411
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,079
then he switched to to Chic from
Fox and Sheik is like really good at

412
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,759
just crushing the low tier like the
bad characters. I could explain why,

413
00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:53,519
but I don't. I don't need
to get in all that detail. But

414
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:56,240
he switched to Chic and then clutched
it out in games two and three,

415
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,920
and game three was like so close, like a last hit, last doc

416
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,279
situation, so it was it was
really fun to watch him play these matches

417
00:25:03,319 --> 00:25:07,079
as well. So yeah, so
it was a Melee if anyone wants,

418
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,720
like, the Slippy online is really
really good. It's like some of the

419
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,440
best online for any fighting game out
there. Is it totally legal, No,

420
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:17,079
but you should go play it anyway
because you can't buy the game legally

421
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:21,519
anymore, so there's no nothing holding
you back. So yeah, go play

422
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:26,119
some Slippy. Get back into Melee
because Melee is so sick still twenty three

423
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,160
years later. Yep, there you
go, there's Melee. What else?

424
00:25:30,279 --> 00:25:33,079
I don't think I have anything else
in the games I've been playing sections,

425
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,200
So maybe we'll take our first break
here. We'll come back and we will

426
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:44,319
get into Marvel's rivals. We'll be
right back. Okay, we are back.

427
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,759
So it's crazy because last week on
the podcast, me and Kirkland talked

428
00:25:48,759 --> 00:25:55,839
about marvel nineteen forty three year Rise
of Hydra. I'm never gonna like saying

429
00:25:55,839 --> 00:25:57,279
that name. It's just does not
roll off the tongue, which of course

430
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,200
was announced like a year year and
a half ago. That's like that,

431
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,119
that's that King Captain Soldier Spy game, right, But that had a new

432
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,359
trailer and it finally got its title
and all that more information came out about

433
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,799
So we talked about that last week. It's crazy. Just a few days

434
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,119
later, Marvel's Rivals was announced.
This game has not been known about,

435
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,000
maybe it was leaked or something like
that, but this is a hero shooter,

436
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,000
third person shooter six v six action
game, so it's really it's essentially

437
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:30,000
overwatched. Its essentially an Overwatch or
Team Fortress two, but with Marvel characters,

438
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:34,200
which is not a genre we've seen
for Marvel right off the bat,

439
00:26:34,279 --> 00:26:37,359
Like, how spoiled are we as
Marvel fans, Taylor, Like, we

440
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,119
get so many fricking games and even
though like not a lot of them are

441
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:45,160
doing super well, which is sad
to see when they eventually do come out.

442
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,799
But just I was just thinking about
it, and like, you know,

443
00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:52,680
we had Midnight Suns, which is
like this great Tactics game. We

444
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,160
had that nineteen forty three game coming
out, an Iron Man game, a

445
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,079
Black Panther game are currently in development
that we know about. Marvel snaps pop

446
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,440
off. You know, not everyone
loved Marvel's Avengers, but we had that

447
00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:06,720
Ultimate Nights three. Recently, you
get like a spider Man game, overy

448
00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:10,480
two years of Wolverine games coming out, that Guardian's game that was really great,

449
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,039
just so much stuff to play,
and so I think it's cool that

450
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,000
it seemed like in our discord not
a lot of people were hyped about this

451
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,960
or didn't like the idea. But
for me, it's like we have so

452
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,799
many single player games or like smaller
co op games that I love this idea.

453
00:27:22,839 --> 00:27:26,880
I can't wait to have just like
a multiplayer focus competitive Marvel game Overwatches

454
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,079
like in the dumps right now.
So I think it's like a perfect time

455
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,039
for this because I love Overwatch,
or I did love Overwatch, but I'm

456
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:34,960
not super into it these days.
I think this is a good way to

457
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,240
like kind of get me back in
that genre playing some more. So I'm

458
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,920
pretty excited for this. We got
a trailer for we saw some gameplay,

459
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,279
and then we have a bunch of
characters and what not to break down.

460
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:48,039
But yeah, what did you think
of the trailer for this? Are you

461
00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:51,519
impressed looking forward to it or do
you think you'll be passing on this one?

462
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:59,319
I'm interested. I am just flabbergasted
how carbon copy seems to be from

463
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,039
Overwatch, even like when you get
the kills and your little like radical toggle

464
00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:08,039
that appears like so many little minor
details, and the mechanics, the catch

465
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:12,559
phrases everything. While it is definitely
Marvel themed, it feels very much like

466
00:28:12,599 --> 00:28:18,599
this is originated from what overwatches.
So I agree with what you said,

467
00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:22,440
Overwatch being down the dumps right now, this is being a great time to

468
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,960
swoop in and take the day.
I think that this game will do very

469
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,480
well. I do not see it
not succeeding. I think that people are

470
00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:36,440
always just craving for that next streamable
competitive esports game, and I think this

471
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,799
is definitely gonna be taking the cake
for that, especially with Overwatch kind of

472
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:42,960
taking a backseat. You even think
in a world where Midnight Suns like kind

473
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:48,200
of flopped and Avengers Live service online
game kind of flopped, Guardians of the

474
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,400
Galaxy game didn't like sell very well, you still you feel much more solid

475
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,240
about this one than you do those
games. I do. Yeah, and

476
00:28:53,359 --> 00:28:57,319
just because again the competitive factor that's
involved with this title, and just the

477
00:28:57,359 --> 00:29:00,880
way that watching the trailer and seeing
like, yeah, this is this is

478
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,200
very much like that spiritual successor to
Overwatch and Overwatch just it tipped it.

479
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,039
It did great, and people that
aren't even necessarily Marvel fans are gonna look

480
00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:12,799
at this and be like, hey, I'll jump into this. It looks

481
00:29:12,839 --> 00:29:17,640
like a fun, competitive shooter,
and they'll they'll get hooked. These types

482
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,039
of games are very hookable. M
hmm. Yeah, it remains to be

483
00:29:21,079 --> 00:29:25,119
seen what the pricing model of this
game is. I have to imagine it's

484
00:29:25,119 --> 00:29:30,200
free to play, with like micro
transactions at the Yahoo for uh for you

485
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:36,000
know, character skins, and obviously
Marvel's has a plentiful amount of costumes and

486
00:29:36,119 --> 00:29:40,440
skins you can use and catch phrases
and Fortnite dances and all the stupid stuff

487
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,480
that you can unlock and pay for. So I'm sure that's what it will

488
00:29:42,519 --> 00:29:45,519
be. I think Overwatch two is
a free to play game at this point,

489
00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:49,240
right, even though Overwatch one was
a purchaseable game back in the day.

490
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:53,799
I think sometime in the Overwatch life
spent it converted, right. But

491
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,839
yeah, it's definitely it's pretty on
the nose that it's It's just it's Overwatch.

492
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,200
This game has been to by net
Ease, which is kind of a

493
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,759
weird studio or I guess company,
because they're kind of a publisher kind of

494
00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:08,079
a developer. They have other games, and it's like it's hard to know

495
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:14,400
exactly like which games net E's specifically
developed versus which ones they were like support

496
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,400
studios on or just a publisher on. But looking at some of the other

497
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,279
games, apparently they're working on like
a Harry Potter game coming up. They

498
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,839
did two Marvel games. They did
a card game, not Snap, but

499
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,759
another one, and then they also
made the Marvel Moba, like the League

500
00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:32,119
of Legends DODA like that I don't
think is playable in North America. I

501
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,720
think it's like only in China or
select countries. So they've worked on Marvel

502
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:38,799
stuff before, which is a good
sign. They did Dead by Daylight Mobile

503
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,960
randomly, I guess they did that
port, which is interesting. Worked on

504
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,480
Diablo Immortal, so they have worked
on all sorts of different games and often

505
00:30:47,519 --> 00:30:49,759
working with other ip and specifically Marvel
as well. I think the Moba is

506
00:30:49,759 --> 00:30:52,960
a really good one to point to
in terms of like designing a character moves

507
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:59,200
thatt MOBAs usually have characters with poor
abilities. SODA's Overwatch and this game also

508
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,880
has characters with four ail so I
think in a lot of that they can

509
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,119
probably even just like one to one
grab a character and like they're design from

510
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,720
a game like that and kind of
poured it over to what it would be

511
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:11,400
like in a shooter version. So
I think it's probably a pretty good studio

512
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,880
to make this kind of thing.
But I also haven't really played, like

513
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,880
I guess technically, I've played a
bit of Diablo Mortal, but that's like

514
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,039
about it, and I don't even
know if they were the primary developer on

515
00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:22,759
it, so somewhat of an unknown
quantity, but I think maybe a good

516
00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:27,200
pick. Let's talk about some of
these differences from Overwatch, so big one

517
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:33,440
being that this is third person instead
of first person, which I think is

518
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,920
a good call for Marvel stuff in
general. We've seen like a lot most

519
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,519
Marvel games, and especially games when
you're playing like known characters who tend to

520
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:44,720
go to the third person route because
then you can see them more. And

521
00:31:44,759 --> 00:31:48,039
so it is like people were mad
when Indiana Jones's first person or people are

522
00:31:48,039 --> 00:31:51,839
like on the fence. I guess
Blade is a third person game, even

523
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,519
though Arcanes made first person games before, so I think it just goes to

524
00:31:53,559 --> 00:31:56,960
show that that's kind of like a
thing to do for like a Marvel type

525
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,079
game, so that's a slight difference. It is six v six, which

526
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:04,839
Overwatch of course started as, but
then transition to five v five. I

527
00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:07,960
think with the release of Overwatch two
is when that kind of switch over happened.

528
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,799
So I think it's actually a great
thing to go back to a six

529
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:15,519
v six because people were always were
mad about that change. I personally was

530
00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:19,759
too. I think I think Overwatch
was fine the way it is, and

531
00:32:19,839 --> 00:32:21,279
you know, I was definitely out
of the game for a while, so

532
00:32:21,319 --> 00:32:23,160
I don't know how the meta changed
and whatnot, But anyway, I think

533
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:29,240
that's a good change there. They
showed off a bunch of these team up

534
00:32:29,359 --> 00:32:31,559
moves, which is an interesting concept. This is this is no shocker for

535
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,240
like if you've played Ultimate Alliance before, it's very similar to that where two

536
00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:38,920
characters use their abilities in conjunction with
each other. So some of the examples

537
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:44,720
we saw were Rocket can jump on
groots back and just kind of pop off,

538
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,920
which I think is very classic.
That one makes a lot of sense.

539
00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:53,079
Another weirder one is that Hulk can
like shoot gamma radiation and iron Man

540
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,640
and then iron Man like that's what
he was doing. Yeah, yeah,

541
00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:00,279
it powers him up and then he
like shoots stronger. I guess I'm a

542
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:04,920
beams, which is like really weird. I just I don't I don't ever

543
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,200
see a hole because like shooting gamma
rays at people, especially like a green

544
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,839
kind of energy thing, it looks
weird. And then the only other one

545
00:33:12,839 --> 00:33:15,839
that I saw from the trailer was
Luna Snow is a character I've never heard

546
00:33:15,839 --> 00:33:21,079
it before, giving ice powers to
name war and then nay, more like

547
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,000
shot out like an ice octopus.
He has like it looks like you can

548
00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:29,319
throw octopuses that are kind of like, God, what the hell's that character's

549
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,480
name from? I forget what her
name is in Overwatch, but she like

550
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,839
shuts up, sets up little turrets, she can set up the teleporter.

551
00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:42,440
That character do you know what I'm
talking about. We'll get to it at

552
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,319
some point, but anyway, it
looked a lot like that. I guess

553
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,279
in terms of I can throw down
these octopuses and these ones like have ice

554
00:33:50,359 --> 00:33:52,039
on them, so they probably slow
your opponent. So those are some of

555
00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:55,440
these synergies that we saw. I
think it's a cool idea, but it

556
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,960
makes me curious, like how many
of the characters are gonna have these sinners

557
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:05,920
because it doesn't seem like Groot necessarily
has a synergy with every character. So

558
00:34:06,519 --> 00:34:09,119
is it that they're trying to push
like certain meta combos of characters and like

559
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:13,199
trying to make it so like,
oh, if you play a team of

560
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,320
six Guardians of the Galaxy, then
like they're gonna have a lot of synergies

561
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:20,400
together and that's a good team,
even if like maybe their individual powers otherwise

562
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,719
don't necessarily synergize, Like maybe there's
like more support characters than would make sense

563
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,800
in the team. I'm getting in
the weeds there a little bit, But

564
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,599
I don't know if that's the idea
there. But yeah, like what do

565
00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:32,760
you what do you think of that
idea? Because I know, and I

566
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:37,760
guess we're talking a lot about the
comparison Overwatch and you've only played some Overwatch

567
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,320
whereas I've played a lot more.
But yeah, what do you think about

568
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:45,400
the idea of like team up moves
in a game like this? Yeah,

569
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,280
I mean it fits, like you
said, Ultimate Alliance has done it.

570
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:51,480
Guardians of the Galaxy had team up
Moose as well, did it not?

571
00:34:52,559 --> 00:34:55,159
I think so. I didn't actually
play that game, but I think it

572
00:34:55,199 --> 00:35:00,719
did, and I'm assuming if there's
a few other titles that have had that

573
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,400
kind of team up aspect, But
yeah, as far as as far as

574
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,760
it goes overwatching me, yeah,
it's always been. I mean, they

575
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:14,199
didn't have anything like that in there
from what I recall. Yeah, I

576
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:20,079
mean nothing like specifically too, like
Tracer and Zaria specifically doing a thing together.

577
00:35:20,159 --> 00:35:22,679
But using that same example, like
Zaria hasn't moved to pull a bunch

578
00:35:22,679 --> 00:35:25,800
of people in and then Tracer could
go and throw a grenade on him and

579
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,159
hit a bunch of people. So
obviously there are synergies that exist, but

580
00:35:29,159 --> 00:35:31,519
they're just not I guess phrase in
that same way. And I think maybe

581
00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:35,119
that just makes more sense for the
Marvel Ip. But then yeah, but

582
00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:38,119
then the question becomes like, how
many does Rocket have? Is groot his

583
00:35:38,199 --> 00:35:43,159
only power up ability that he has? If so, that would be maybe

584
00:35:43,159 --> 00:35:46,599
a bit disappointing, that would be
because then you're you're very limited. You're

585
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,960
if you're not playing with your friends
and you're just hoping that people pick a

586
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,360
groot and if no one in your
team picks a groot, then you can't

587
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,480
use that special ability. Yeah,
I doubt that's a thing. I honestly

588
00:35:55,519 --> 00:36:01,960
imagine that they've created some very innovative
and creative combos for other characters. I'm

589
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,559
sure we could see an iron Man
in a Groot or something like that,

590
00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:08,719
or Rockets and a Hulk kind of
combo, which would be very cool to

591
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:14,639
see what those are in the game. I guess if that was the case,

592
00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:16,320
we'd have to just imagine that they're
a bit more superficial, which they

593
00:36:16,599 --> 00:36:21,880
could be like Hulk shooting Gamma at
Ironman to him have a more powerful being.

594
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,480
Like in theory, we could just
do that for every character. Every

595
00:36:24,519 --> 00:36:28,440
character has some sort of ability that
Hulk powers up when he shoots Gamma at

596
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,159
them, and so I don't know, like maybe I guess if they're simpler

597
00:36:30,199 --> 00:36:34,119
like that, they're not really as
engaging. But then also it's easier to

598
00:36:34,119 --> 00:36:37,199
have a synergy with everyone, but
I don't imagine everyone has a synergy where

599
00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:40,159
they jump on Groots back and shoot
guns from up there and the way Rocket

600
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,800
does. And also looking at those
like okay, we'rock and Groot, two

601
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,559
Guardians, Hulk, Ironman, two
Avengers. I don't know if Luna Snow

602
00:36:47,679 --> 00:36:52,199
because I don't know anything about this
character. And nay more or like related

603
00:36:52,199 --> 00:36:53,800
in the comics in some way,
and if they're tied to each other.

604
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,440
So I don't know if we should
look at that as like evidence of like,

605
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,239
oh, characters that are kind of
in the comics more so would have

606
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:06,159
specific synergies together, because once it's
gonna that third example, I have no

607
00:37:06,199 --> 00:37:09,480
idea if those characters connect at all
in the comics. Yeah, I don't

608
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:14,880
know either. Yeah, but you
make a make an interesting point there,

609
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,519
and I'm i feel like if you
if you aren't able to access a group

610
00:37:19,639 --> 00:37:23,840
to your rocket, you're still gonna
have your your Overwatch like super ability equivalent,

611
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,519
right, I mean I don't remember
seeing that really in the trailer,

612
00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:30,599
but you're gonna have your superability,
I assume, I think so. Yeah,

613
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,880
I'm guessing every character will have like
have an ultimate move and then four

614
00:37:34,519 --> 00:37:37,559
standard abilities, and some of those
standards could be like a passive or something

615
00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:42,199
rather than like an activated ability,
but yeah, something like that. We

616
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:46,519
also saw Another change up is destructible
environments, and I'm guessing this is gonna

617
00:37:46,519 --> 00:37:52,800
be like, you know, more
specific spots rather than like battlefield Bad Company

618
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,960
or something where you can like any
wall you can destroy you know, I

619
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,760
don't think it's gonna be to that
extent, but the examples we saw were

620
00:38:00,039 --> 00:38:05,360
it was actually Loki as a black
panther using this big black panther move and

621
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,679
destroyed a bridge. And the other
one we saw was in that same example

622
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:13,000
with the gamma radiated iron man,
he busted down this huge statue. So

623
00:38:13,199 --> 00:38:16,440
I think that's a really cool idea, and I'm curious how much damage it'll

624
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,119
take to bust down some of these
doors. But I think that's a cool

625
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,159
idea in terms of just changing up
the strategy of Okay, maybe we're trying

626
00:38:24,159 --> 00:38:28,480
to push this you know, payload
across this area, but let's actually go

627
00:38:28,559 --> 00:38:30,320
up first take out the bridge because
that's a huge vantage point for the opponent,

628
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,280
so we want to do that before. So I think it adds some

629
00:38:32,599 --> 00:38:37,159
really cool potential strategy to it,
and so I'm excited to see kind of

630
00:38:37,159 --> 00:38:40,280
the level of it. I'm expecting
that maybe each map has like three or

631
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,239
four things that can be destroyed,
but i'd love to be proven wrong on

632
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,719
that, and maybe there'll be smaller
ones where like doors all over the place

633
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,440
can be destroyed, and then there's
like bigger set piec ones, but then

634
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,239
there's smaller ones, certain walls and
shortcuts and things that we'll see a lot

635
00:38:54,280 --> 00:39:00,519
more of those. So yeah,
that's an interesting idea. In terms of

636
00:39:00,519 --> 00:39:04,039
the maps, this is something that
I think the trailer really doesn't do a

637
00:39:04,039 --> 00:39:06,280
great job of it. Maybe they
just don't have a lot ready to go

638
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,519
or ready to show off. But
we saw what I presume is Asgard.

639
00:39:09,519 --> 00:39:13,079
It looks a lot like as Guard, and it actually looks a lot once

640
00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:15,880
again that Overwatch comparison, looks a
lot like Oasis or Nimbani like some of

641
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,840
these Overwatch maps, just in terms
of like the art style of it,

642
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,440
and that was the only one in
the trailer as far as I could tell,

643
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,159
it seemed like it was the same
map in just different areas. And

644
00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:30,639
then in the marketing we've seen like
a japan looking location, so I don't

645
00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:34,920
know what that is exactly, but
you know, Overwatch of course has like

646
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,840
Hana Mura and these other like Japanese
like sort of inspired maps as well,

647
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:43,800
so very similar comparisons there. But
yeah, hopefully there are more maps,

648
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,920
especially at launch. We also don't
know the release date of this. We

649
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,599
know that there's a beta, which
I did sign up for, So we'll

650
00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:52,400
see if I get into it.
I don't even know if my laptop can

651
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,119
run it. I honestly lied about
the specs that they asked for on the

652
00:39:54,119 --> 00:39:57,840
form, So I'm hoping I can
get in there and just try it out

653
00:39:58,199 --> 00:40:00,719
and see. So I note about
that. But yeah, hopefully there's a

654
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,559
lot more maps. I mean,
there's gotta be, but hopefully there's like

655
00:40:04,599 --> 00:40:07,920
they're in there pretty soon, because
of course, Marvels not not short on

656
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,079
like iconic locations, and a lot
of them you could really just copy like

657
00:40:12,079 --> 00:40:15,000
what Overwatch has once again, So
uh yeah, I excited to see what

658
00:40:15,039 --> 00:40:19,119
other ones get announced. I'm sure
we could based off certain characters that we're

659
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:22,119
seeing here and having ones inspired by
the characters that are kind of big relevant

660
00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:28,360
characters in the game. So excited
to see some of that before we get

661
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,840
into the characters. Is there anything
else about just the overall gameplay the trailer

662
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:37,440
that stood out to you. I
mean, it's just I'm just still reeling

663
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,599
from the fact that it just looks
so much like Overwatch. Yeah, but

664
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,320
you highlighted the fact that it is
the difference of third and first person.

665
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,280
Being third person, I think is
really really wonderful, and I think that's

666
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,400
what's going to gravitate me more towards
this than that first person I wasn't a

667
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:59,480
huge fan of the first person vibes
in Overwatch, which is I know it's

668
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:00,840
a fact what that is. Because
you love Call of Duty of Halo.

669
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:06,440
I do, And I think that's
why like Call Duty and Halo they feel

670
00:41:06,559 --> 00:41:10,719
different and they feel h maybe it's
just Call of Duty. Actually the way

671
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,920
Call of Duty is. I find
that it's very intuitive and I can it's

672
00:41:15,519 --> 00:41:19,440
it's it's it's so at this point
the gameplayer. Yeah, and when I

673
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:24,800
play Overwatch, I feel like sometimes
it can just be a little uh sluggish,

674
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:29,199
perhaps a little sluggish. Yeah,
maybe that's why I like Bashion quite

675
00:41:29,199 --> 00:41:32,840
a bit. I like just cruising
around as him instead of little Turret Ryan

676
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,800
Hart as well. Like Ryan Hart, So I got a few characters that

677
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,119
I did you ever play a Team
Fortress back in the day? No,

678
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:44,119
I missed that ship. Okay,
Yeah, I think it's still like Team

679
00:41:44,119 --> 00:41:45,320
Fortress too. I think it's still
a pretty big deal on Steam. I

680
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,280
think it's actually free at this point
we should jump into at some point.

681
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,400
I love that game that was super
fun back in the day. Of course,

682
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,679
Overwatch kind of kind of copied that
originally. I don't know if there

683
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:59,000
was a game that creates Team Fortress
in terms of, yeah, the blueprint

684
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,800
of it, but show it's a
Team Fortress. What a great game.

685
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,480
Okay, So what we're gonna do
now is we're gonna look at the roster

686
00:42:07,639 --> 00:42:13,400
of this game, which is currently
sitting at I'm gonna call it nineteen characters.

687
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,519
There's one or two asterisks in there, but I'm gonna say it's nineteen

688
00:42:15,559 --> 00:42:20,920
characters. This is also crazy because
the last time I played Overwatch was with

689
00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:23,559
Kirkland at some point. What I
felt was recently, but I think it's

690
00:42:23,559 --> 00:42:27,360
been a long time now because I
realized there's so many characters I don't recognize.

691
00:42:27,519 --> 00:42:30,159
It makes sense. I'n't actually played
the game since Overwatch two came out,

692
00:42:30,159 --> 00:42:31,800
and so obviously when the new game
comes out, they are gonna have

693
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,760
like multiple characters associated with that.
So there's a lot of big, new

694
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,800
flashy stuff there. But yeah,
I've realized that. Man, I've been

695
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,400
out of the game for a while
at this point. So as far as

696
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:45,880
my to my account here forty Overwatch
characters and nineteen characters announced for this game

697
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,559
currently. So what we're gonna do
is we're gonna like pick out the Marvel

698
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:52,760
characters in here, and we're gonna
compare them. We're gonna give them like

699
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:58,039
a a a parallel character in Overwatch, and we're gonna try and chart this

700
00:42:58,119 --> 00:43:00,039
out a little bit. And then
once we've added all the Marvel characters that

701
00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:04,000
are announced, we can chart some
other ones in that would we think would

702
00:43:04,039 --> 00:43:07,039
be similar to an Overwatch character that
exists. So I don't know if we'll

703
00:43:07,039 --> 00:43:10,159
get all forty Overwatch characters. We'll
just see how much we can get here,

704
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:15,800
but I think it's a fun little
thought experiment to be had. I

705
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,800
guess first we should say, which
are the nineteen characters that are shown off

706
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,320
for this game so far? And
those are Rocket Groot, star Lord,

707
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:30,039
Mantis, Black Panther, Iron Man, Hulk, Slash, Bruce Banner very

708
00:43:30,039 --> 00:43:34,320
specifically not just Hulk, but you
play as both of them. We'll talk

709
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,039
about that, Doctor Strange, Scarlet, Witch, nay More, Magneto,

710
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:44,519
magic Storm, Penny Parker, Spider
Man, Luna, Snow Loki, Punisher,

711
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:47,000
and Galactis. I guess also right
off the bat, What do you

712
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,360
think of that roster? Because there, you know, I love a good

713
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,760
oddball, curveball character. You got
a couple of those in here. There's

714
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,119
obviously some big characters kind of missing, but you know, you want to

715
00:43:55,159 --> 00:43:59,639
have characters to come out every couple
of months, you know. But yeah,

716
00:43:59,679 --> 00:44:04,000
what do you think this like opening
roster? It's pretty powerful and impactful.

717
00:44:04,119 --> 00:44:06,880
The fact that Galactus alone is in
there kind of blows my mind.

718
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:12,039
Yeah, so that's the weird one
where we never actually see Galactus gameplay,

719
00:44:12,559 --> 00:44:15,880
and it's weird. It's like it's
like a woman Galactus, like female Galactus

720
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,800
version, and she seems more like
she's like part of the marketing. Like

721
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,239
at the end of the trailer,
she's like turns around and like snaps her

722
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,400
fingers or something, and she's like
looks like a regular sized person rather than

723
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:30,440
Galactus being massive. So I don't
I don't know if she's gonna be a

724
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:36,280
playable character or if she's somehow just
like a lower character or a story character

725
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,320
or like somewhere with a menu or
something. Who's like maybe she's like the

726
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:43,400
one like that almost like the Beyonder
like setting up this secret Wars sort of

727
00:44:43,679 --> 00:44:45,880
fight between these characters remains to be
seen, but I think this is a

728
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:51,000
really cool look for Galactus, you
know, gal Lactus in a way.

729
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,000
I think it's really fun and I
would love if she was playable character because

730
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,360
she looks really cool. I'd love
to, yeah, because normally Galactys is

731
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,079
too big to be a playable character
any of these kind of games. So

732
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:02,159
I think this is a good way
to go about it. It's kind of

733
00:45:02,159 --> 00:45:07,079
fun. Yeah, I agree,
Yeah, I think it's a decent roster.

734
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,679
Of course. I like that there's
like a Penny Parker, Luna Snow

735
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,960
characters I've never heard of in there, and I like always want these games

736
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:19,639
to have a curveball or two,
just like how Marvel's Suns had Nico Minoru

737
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,639
in there and Magic kind of some
less popular characters. I think it's a

738
00:45:23,639 --> 00:45:28,239
good call here. Surprised to see
some other ones, Like I'm shocked that

739
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,360
Mantis is in this, Like opening
roster seems like an interesting pick. The

740
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,199
I don't like nay Wars, maybe
like kind of a weirder pick, but

741
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,039
I guess he makes sense. A
big one for me is that, Yeah,

742
00:45:40,159 --> 00:45:45,199
let's talk about this real quick.
Bruce Banner and Hulk like that seems

743
00:45:45,199 --> 00:45:47,119
like it's like a you have a
button that turns you into Hulk. So

744
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:52,639
is it kind of like Diva and
how she's exactly what I was thinking.

745
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,039
Yeah, she's like, you know, if you take out her armor,

746
00:45:54,119 --> 00:45:59,039
she becomes just Diva like the characters. He's walking around with their little pistol.

747
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,079
But then you kind of go into
the mech again and that's your main

748
00:46:01,199 --> 00:46:05,119
version. I'm guessing it'll be something
like that, but maybe it'd be a

749
00:46:05,159 --> 00:46:07,000
bit different rather than just like a
certain amount of damage hit. Maybe it's

750
00:46:07,039 --> 00:46:09,880
just like a timer. But it's
like, I'm really curious what you're gonna

751
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:14,840
do as as Bruce, Like I
don't I don't think they're gonna give Bruce

752
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,039
a pistol like they did Diva,
you know, like that would seem like

753
00:46:17,039 --> 00:46:22,000
a weird deviation. Mm hmmm.
I don't know what you could actually give

754
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:27,400
him. That's that's very very peculiar. Uh huh. So we'll keep an

755
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,000
eye. I mean, he's a
scientist, so maybe like builds turrets or

756
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,320
something, but that would be like
a weird thing to give ult for a

757
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,159
move set. So a weird choice
there, but we'll we'll see how that

758
00:46:36,199 --> 00:46:42,079
actually plays in game. You mentioned
you mentioned your your boy bashing that was

759
00:46:42,119 --> 00:46:45,119
your main in Overwatch. Is there
a character from this roster or another Marvel

760
00:46:45,199 --> 00:46:47,840
character that jumps out to you as
like, Oh, that's who, That's

761
00:46:49,159 --> 00:46:53,519
who I'd want my Bashi to be
in in this game. Oh? I

762
00:46:53,639 --> 00:46:59,679
honestly, I feel like a Groot
or a Rocket might kind of like pull

763
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:04,480
me that way. Now, what
about the move set is giving you that

764
00:47:04,599 --> 00:47:13,360
vibe? Oh? I mean aside
obviously from like the combo of them like

765
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,280
sacking up. But I feel like
Groot I have to revisit because we didn't

766
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:21,400
really get this exactly what his moves
were, like, we don't know if

767
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:22,639
he's Yeah, we didn't. I
don't feel like we saw a ton of

768
00:47:22,679 --> 00:47:28,519
like specific Groot gameplay. I feel
like he's probably gonna be melee oriented.

769
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,239
I think maybe he could have well, no, he probably would only get

770
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:35,760
the guns featured when Rocket jumps on
him. I feel like, and that

771
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,440
would kind of give him the long
range capacity m hmm. So he'd be

772
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:43,079
probably up close and personal, I
imagine, And I don't think he'd have

773
00:47:43,079 --> 00:47:46,679
any kind of healing abilities for others
but maybe because Bashan has that self healing

774
00:47:47,159 --> 00:47:52,239
or ability, I forgot about that
something Groot could have as well, which

775
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,880
I like being able to handle my
own HP. So I like that idea

776
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,639
though. Of Like, Bashan's a
character who kind of gets set up in

777
00:47:59,679 --> 00:48:02,719
a spa and becomes almost just like
a part of the map, like an

778
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:07,679
NPC almost he just becomes an active
turret, And I feel like Grew could

779
00:48:07,679 --> 00:48:10,159
have a similar thing where like using
his roots, yeah, just like kind

780
00:48:10,159 --> 00:48:14,440
of pile drives himself into the ground
and become like a tank who just really

781
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,360
like sets up a wall, becomes
just an obstacle in that same way.

782
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:22,519
So it's maybe a bit unconventional because
grou doesn't necessarily have like a projectile,

783
00:48:22,559 --> 00:48:25,159
But I actually think that's a good
pick. So I think we should put

784
00:48:25,159 --> 00:48:29,559
that on our little list here.
You can fill these into if you want,

785
00:48:30,119 --> 00:48:35,360
since we're looking at his dock.
Okay, I like that my main

786
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,760
character in Overwatch, and I definitely
played quite a few in my in my

787
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:44,519
day, but my go to my
favorite was Zenyata. I love that guy

788
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:49,440
cool Robot. I like that he
was a support character who could dish out

789
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,840
big damage, especially if you got
like headshots and stuff like really really incentivizing

790
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:58,119
just that high skill ceiling, like
the discord orb, the healing orb that

791
00:48:58,159 --> 00:49:00,400
he has going on there. And
to me in terms of like that inner

792
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:05,880
piece, the kind of like hovering
part and like throwing these orbs and stuff,

793
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,960
I think Doctor Strange is kind of
like the perfect one to one comparison

794
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:13,519
because I think Doctor Strange could have
that healing element to it, could be

795
00:49:13,559 --> 00:49:15,199
a bit simpler of a character floating
there. I think Doctor Stranger would maybe

796
00:49:15,199 --> 00:49:21,519
have more slightly more robastic plow powers
than than Zanyatta has. But I think

797
00:49:21,519 --> 00:49:24,800
that's a pretty close comparison to my
book. Mm hmmm. I think that's

798
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:29,199
I think that's actually a really really
good, good pitch, which I would

799
00:49:29,199 --> 00:49:31,559
love because once again Doctor Stranger w
on my favorite Marvel characters, Zanyada,

800
00:49:31,599 --> 00:49:35,400
my favorite Overwatch character. That would
be great if their moves that's were even

801
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,559
a couple moves in common I have. I remember I got the nutcracker skin

802
00:49:40,679 --> 00:49:45,880
for Zenyata, and so he actually
has the like what are the are they?

803
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,880
There's like Christmas nuts or whatever.
They're not right, not the bells,

804
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,920
but chestnuts. Chest nuts. That's
it. Yeah, the chestnuts are

805
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:58,079
like what he throws out, which
is really really funny. Yeah. I

806
00:49:58,119 --> 00:50:00,800
love the different orbs that you can
get for Zenata in the game, for

807
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,480
sure. But I think that's a
brilliant doctor d even pick. I think

808
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:12,840
that's that's fantastic doctor doctor doctors.
Yeah. Okay, let's see, so

809
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:19,639
we got Groot here, we got
doctor Strange, let's grab, let's grab

810
00:50:19,639 --> 00:50:22,960
punisher. Punisher I think also has
a very obvious one, and I think

811
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:28,400
that's Soldier seventy six, right.
Oh wow, I was thinking Reaper to

812
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:32,079
be honest. Oh yeah, I
guess seventy I think that actually could be

813
00:50:32,119 --> 00:50:35,719
good too, because I think Reaper
is like kind of maybe a bit slower

814
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,480
paced, and maybe his like range
isn't quite the same. But yeah,

815
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,159
I think one of those two it
has to be, right, I mean,

816
00:50:42,199 --> 00:50:45,559
Reaper doesn't he teleport? I can't
remember it is he he does have

817
00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:49,639
a teleport? Yeah, he like
kind of disappears into the shadows and he

818
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,800
like picks a spot and then kind
of re reappears there, right, right,

819
00:50:53,079 --> 00:50:57,039
So I don't know if that's very
punisher like, but that's not Yeah,

820
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,880
Solar seventy six, what was disabilities. He's just he's just a guy

821
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,079
with a gun. He's just called
duty mode. Like his his ultimate is

822
00:51:04,119 --> 00:51:07,280
just aim bought. Literally, he
just turns on his aim bought. I

823
00:51:07,639 --> 00:51:10,199
I'm guarantee he as a grenade or
something. I never really played it myself,

824
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:14,320
but I think he just yeah,
mostly about the gun and like throwing

825
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,719
a grenade at people. So that
fits. Should we do should we do

826
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:22,639
Reapers? Should we do soldier room? I'd say soldier Soldier fits. Okay,

827
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,320
so we're gonna call that punisher you
can. You want to pick one

828
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:34,920
next pick from this list of contenders
up here, let's see. I'm gonna

829
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,840
say Luna Snow. Okay, And
immediately when I saw this character, I

830
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:45,519
immediately thought tracer. Ooh, that's
interesting. Okay, she was like sliding

831
00:51:45,599 --> 00:51:52,239
like coast through so yeah, because
there's kind of two like Luna Snow's ice

832
00:51:52,559 --> 00:51:57,119
based character. So the initial thought
might be like, well, may obviously

833
00:51:57,159 --> 00:52:00,039
an Overwatch because she has like the
frost beam she freezes characters. But I

834
00:52:00,119 --> 00:52:04,800
kind of like this idea, like
if we put Luna as a tracer type

835
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,159
because she's yeah, a bit faster
paste maybe juke and people out kind of

836
00:52:08,159 --> 00:52:13,360
the range attacks as well, and
then we can just make Iceman the equivalent

837
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,400
for me because that makes even more
sense. Right there, we go kind

838
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:20,920
of a two for one, so
let's do that. I think Iceman for

839
00:52:21,039 --> 00:52:22,480
may is, I mean, the
ice part of it makes a whole lot

840
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,280
of sense. I think, maybe
you know, it's a bit of a

841
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:28,480
slower paced sort of character, almost
like a bit of a tank, whereas

842
00:52:28,519 --> 00:52:30,360
Iceman, you would think, would
be a bit more of a dodging type

843
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:35,880
character, dodging in and out of
attacks. So there might be slight differences

844
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:42,079
there, but yeah, thank you
for helping type those ones in. Let's

845
00:52:42,079 --> 00:52:52,920
see next up, who do we
got? You know, Magneto as a

846
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,800
character, this is a this is
maybe a weird one, maybe not as

847
00:52:55,880 --> 00:53:00,519
as obvious. But if you go
on the Overwatch characters, Taylor, you're

848
00:53:00,519 --> 00:53:04,199
looking at this Sigma is a character
that came out after I stopped playing.

849
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,320
But if you look at this guy, this guy looks like he's doing Magneto

850
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,639
stuff. He's like picking up bricks
and I don't know stuff and he's hucking

851
00:53:10,679 --> 00:53:14,199
them at people. He's floating there
too. He's kind of an old man

852
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,920
as well, so he looks uh, he to me seems like a pretty

853
00:53:17,039 --> 00:53:24,119
damn close equivalent in my mind celebrated
astrophysicists. Okay, life Forever Change,

854
00:53:24,159 --> 00:53:28,480
a failed experiment gave him the ability
to control gravity. You know what I

855
00:53:28,519 --> 00:53:31,039
feel like that fits? I mean
gravity metal, you know, apples,

856
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:38,760
oranges oranges? Yeah? Cool,
there we go. There's another one.

857
00:53:40,519 --> 00:53:45,440
Okay, well, Hulk and Bruce
Banner. So we talked about that Diva

858
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:50,559
comparison there, but is that is
there any other similarity between them other than

859
00:53:50,599 --> 00:53:53,559
the fact that there's kind of like
this dual character element to it, because

860
00:53:53,599 --> 00:53:57,880
I feel like, move set wise, they don't really make a lot of

861
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:02,519
sense as like equivalent characters. No, I guess not. I mean that's

862
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:09,639
Diva is exactly where my mind was
going. Yeah, But because I have

863
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:14,800
I have another pitch for Diva and
I'll bring that up later. But here's

864
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:19,400
my other thought for Hulk was his
character named doom Fist. And I don't

865
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,000
know if you have seen doom Fist
before, but this guy just has a

866
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,639
big arm that he like uses to
block hits. He jumps in the air

867
00:54:25,679 --> 00:54:30,480
and like smashes his huge fist into
the ground, doing like shockwaves sort of

868
00:54:30,519 --> 00:54:32,039
things, So to me, he
seems like a Hulk type, and he's

869
00:54:32,039 --> 00:54:36,000
not quite as bulky as other than
the big arm. He's not quite as

870
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,119
on the size the scale of a
Hulk, but I feel like moves out

871
00:54:38,119 --> 00:54:42,599
wise, like I could just picture
that being for Hulk, even though we've

872
00:54:42,599 --> 00:54:46,280
seen that this Hulk is like more
about shooting gamma at people, but I

873
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:52,519
think that could be a good close
equivalent there. I've sold like his abilities

874
00:54:52,519 --> 00:54:55,239
meteor strike, power block, seismic
slam, rocket punch. These all sound

875
00:54:55,360 --> 00:55:00,559
Hulk enough for me, m m, and then all just bring it up

876
00:55:00,599 --> 00:55:02,880
now. So this is not one
of the announced characters, but a character

877
00:55:04,119 --> 00:55:06,559
called Armor. I don't know if
you've seen her before, and the only

878
00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:10,039
reason Nino voters because of the great
Marvel Snap. But I think she's an

879
00:55:10,159 --> 00:55:15,360
X Men related character and she essentially
just like can put on this giant red

880
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:21,239
energy suit. And honestly, I
don't know much beyond that in terms of

881
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,400
like how our powers work, because
that's as simple as it gets in something

882
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:28,039
like Marvel Snap. But I was
thinking she seems like character wise she could

883
00:55:28,039 --> 00:55:30,920
be kind of similar. She's got
the armor element of it that could be

884
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,880
like a temporary thing that could go
on and off, So I kind of

885
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,239
like that. I don't know if
she has much of a range attack in

886
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,360
the way that Diva does, but
otherwise I think she's kind of similar.

887
00:55:39,559 --> 00:55:43,760
Yeah, I mean looking at photos
of her and how she's just kind of

888
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,280
armored up. This definitely gives me
Diva vibes a lot more than Bruce Banner

889
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:51,119
and Hulk, that's for sure.
Yeah, definitely. What do you think

890
00:55:51,159 --> 00:55:53,639
about Spider Man in this game?
Did you catch that kind of section with

891
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:58,079
him in the trailer? Yeah,
he just managed to do like this super

892
00:55:58,159 --> 00:56:00,559
stun all across the board, shooting
a lot of web out there. Yeah.

893
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:05,559
I don't know if he has a
swing though. That's the one thing

894
00:56:05,599 --> 00:56:07,519
that seemed a bit weird about him, is like, I don't know how

895
00:56:07,599 --> 00:56:09,800
movement based of a character he's gonna
be. It was a very quick snip,

896
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:14,400
but it was like five seconds where
you saw him specifically, and I

897
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,559
didn't catch if at the background of
any other scenes if he was swinging around.

898
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:20,239
That's something I hope they get right
though, because I think the movement

899
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,039
of Spider Man's really important and so
many games have done it and got it

900
00:56:22,079 --> 00:56:24,320
right. At this point, I
hope that they can just kind of copy

901
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:29,039
paste those. But then also you
got to turn into a competitive move so

902
00:56:29,079 --> 00:56:32,519
that that's not what overpowered. But
in terms of like stunning and shutting characters

903
00:56:32,519 --> 00:56:36,480
down, I think there's a lot
of potential there for uh, I don't

904
00:56:36,519 --> 00:56:44,800
know, pairing them up with some
Overwatch equivalent character. M h. I'm

905
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:49,119
looking up trying to find a character
that might have similar moves, because I

906
00:56:49,119 --> 00:56:52,480
feel like there was I feel like
there was a character in Overwatch that had

907
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:57,199
the capacity of doing like a mass
multiple stun. Yeah. I mean I

908
00:56:58,119 --> 00:57:05,119
think Zaria has one of those.
I mean, May has her like ice

909
00:57:05,159 --> 00:57:07,920
Field, but we've had already picked
a May that might be what I'm thinking

910
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:14,920
it was May's ice Field. Yeah. Another here's another kind of more,

911
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,199
maybe we're off the wall. Pick
is is Wrecking Ball. I'm sure you've

912
00:57:19,199 --> 00:57:22,320
seen Wrecking Ball in Overwatch, because
this seems like a Taylor kind of character

913
00:57:22,679 --> 00:57:25,639
is essentially a hamster and a giant
ball, and he flings himself around.

914
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,559
I just feel like the way he
flings himself around, like maybe that's how

915
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:34,920
we could draw the comparison with a
Spider Man. Yeah, it's not that's

916
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,519
not a bad idea. Actually,
his grappling claw, because I couldn't really

917
00:57:37,519 --> 00:57:40,599
think of any other ones, Like, there wasn't other Overwatch characters that really

918
00:57:40,639 --> 00:57:44,760
screamed Spider Man to me, So
we could do that one because that one

919
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:49,480
might be hard otherwise to find a
character similar to Wrecking Ball. Yeah,

920
00:57:49,679 --> 00:57:54,199
I think just the grappling definitely fits. Yeah, yeah, I'd agree with

921
00:57:54,239 --> 00:58:00,039
that. Okay, why you rifle
off a couple from the Marvel character list

922
00:58:00,079 --> 00:58:07,079
here? Ah? So who do
we got here? We got oh,

923
00:58:07,199 --> 00:58:14,840
let's look at let's look at as
a black Panther. Okay, what do

924
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:22,079
we have here for black Panther?
I think something like maybe like a Genji

925
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,599
could be a good fit. I
really really like that. That's actually a

926
00:58:25,679 --> 00:58:30,280
really really good pick, really agile
character, all about the movement, kind

927
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:35,559
of mostly melee combat. Genji does
have like sure cans, but we can

928
00:58:35,679 --> 00:58:37,960
kind of take those out for this
example. I think Genji is one of

929
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:42,360
those characters though, Like you could
really pick multiple Marvel characters for that,

930
00:58:42,519 --> 00:58:46,840
but I think black Panther would be
a really fun version. Actually, yeah,

931
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:51,719
I like that a lot. Okay, cool, we'll do that.

932
00:58:53,599 --> 00:58:58,599
I think another character that, you
know I mentioned earlier, I was kind

933
00:58:58,599 --> 00:59:00,920
of surprise to see her in here
is Mant, But I think Mantis to

934
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:05,239
me just seems like that's a healer, no doubt, right, because of

935
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,960
her like mind abilities, Like she
just seems like she's got to be a

936
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,519
healer. And so for that reason, I was thinking, maybe just make

937
00:59:10,519 --> 00:59:17,360
her the quintessential healer from Overwatch Mercy
herself, yeah, being able to revive

938
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:21,719
people like I could see Mantis having
an ability kind of like that too.

939
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:30,360
So yeah, let's go for that
one. Thank you. What else you

940
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:35,239
got for me? Here's two?
There wasn't a Hawkeye because I got the

941
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,719
perfect, perfect pick for that.
Well, might as well bring it up,

942
00:59:38,719 --> 00:59:44,239
now, go for it. Well, I was thinking Hanso would be

943
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,960
the ultimate Hawk guy of course,
right, gotta be. Let's do it.

944
00:59:49,039 --> 00:59:51,719
Yeah, walk it in there,
because I feel like said, okay,

945
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:52,880
yeah, I mean he's a huge
character. He'll be in there and

946
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,039
looking at the rest of these characters
that we currently have on the list,

947
00:59:55,079 --> 00:59:59,400
like, I don't look at any
of them and think of Hanso, So

948
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,320
I don't think we're and it's stomping
and he toes by doing it and we

949
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,840
have a lot of characters, so
we gotta, you know, we gotta

950
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:12,360
match him up when we can.
Taylor, have you seen gameplay of this

951
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,920
character named Maga. He's actually apparently
a new character. He's at the very

952
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:22,559
top of the overwatched Heroes page.
Maga, who looks kind of like the

953
01:00:22,679 --> 01:00:29,039
Rock Dwayne the movie MANA. Oh
my god. Actually I wonder if that's

954
01:00:29,039 --> 01:00:31,400
the comparison. But this is a
big dude, a really big dude,

955
01:00:31,719 --> 01:00:37,239
and he has two gatling guns on
either side of his body. Does that

956
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,320
not immediately make you think of a
Marvel character that we love to talk about

957
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:47,599
here? Are you thinking, Roca, I'm thinking, I'm sorry, I'm

958
01:00:47,599 --> 01:00:51,400
not someone on the list, not
someone on the current list. Okay,

959
01:00:51,639 --> 01:01:02,000
yeah, you're thinking like Drash deeper
cut, deeper cut, deeper cut cut,

960
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:14,719
Oh gosh, deeper cut, with
two big gallon cuts on either side

961
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:20,239
of his body, slow moving character
Tanky. You want me to reveal?

962
01:01:20,639 --> 01:01:24,599
Are you thinking like an Obadiah Stain
from Iron Man? Deeper cut, deeper

963
01:01:24,719 --> 01:01:34,679
deeper. You gotta gotta hint a
clue. We have in our stream yards

964
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,760
list of memes pictures. He's he's
a classic. We use this guy a

965
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:45,639
lot. What h comes up on
the X Men retro? Oh? Are

966
01:01:45,679 --> 01:01:51,679
you serious? Oh? I didn't
even think of that bone Breaker, the

967
01:01:51,719 --> 01:01:57,559
great bone breaker. This guy,
this guy's bone breaker written all over him.

968
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,400
That is a deep cut. Holy
smoke. Imagine if they added bone

969
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:06,280
Breaker in this game. That would
be insane. I'd be there day one

970
01:02:08,679 --> 01:02:14,400
getting us back on track. Well
that's a good one. Well, actually,

971
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,159
before we get back to our list, you're man ghostwriter. Who do

972
01:02:17,199 --> 01:02:21,800
you think? Do you think there's
an Overwatch character that that kind of has

973
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:37,519
ghostwriter energy to them? Maybe a
reaper, But honestly, I'm not feeling

974
01:02:37,719 --> 01:02:45,480
it. Yeah, maybe maybe a
Lucio in some weird way, Lucio.

975
01:02:45,519 --> 01:02:49,079
I think there's another like slam Dunk
for Lucio. I'll bring that up later.

976
01:02:50,559 --> 01:02:52,760
But I don't really feel like because
I don't think ghostwriters a I don't

977
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:57,719
think he's a healer, you know. No, maybe Cassidy. I can

978
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:01,920
feel just the cowboy ghost. Maybe
that's the way to go. That's interesting

979
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,639
because I was gonna ask you about
that, like, I don't. I

980
01:03:04,679 --> 01:03:07,400
don't know. It's weird that I
don't have an I don't know of a

981
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,760
Marvel character who's like a cowboy.
And I'm sure there are something that exists.

982
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:14,599
I'm sure there's like some wild West
comic book run that happened, but

983
01:03:14,719 --> 01:03:15,239
yeah, like, off the top
of my head, I can't think of

984
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:20,760
any that might be good. The
other one I was thinking of was what

985
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,360
about road Hog. You may not
have the same size, but like the

986
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:28,480
hook is being like the core part
of the gameplay mechanic. I thought that

987
01:03:28,519 --> 01:03:31,079
could be kind of a similar idea. And also, like road Hog is

988
01:03:31,119 --> 01:03:35,159
a shotgun, so not huge range. If like you just have if you

989
01:03:35,159 --> 01:03:37,480
have a ghostwriter with like his chain
and that kind of being like almost like

990
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,800
a shotgun blast the way he swings
it around. I mean, he did

991
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:45,400
use a shotgun in in the movie, so it fits shotgun. Well,

992
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:49,960
there you go, there you go. Yeah, okay, let's let's log

993
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,719
that one in. It's going back
to our list of known characters. Do

994
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:57,440
you have any other ones that that
scream out to you that make a lot

995
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:12,400
of sense. I mean, there's
a few characters I'm trying to remember which

996
01:04:12,519 --> 01:04:16,800
characters who are a melee oriented we
got Ryan Hart would be a big one.

997
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:21,000
Are you're talking about like Overwatch characters
that are melee focused. Reinhart would

998
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:29,280
make a good feel and I think
I think Bridget is is thora confirmed character.

999
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,880
No, but I'm just thinking of
creatively, you know, Torbiorn,

1000
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,719
I mean he's got other stuff because
he's like building stuff. He's a melee

1001
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:42,039
focus Winston. Oh, Winston has
got to be beast, right, I

1002
01:04:42,079 --> 01:04:45,280
would say Winston beasts for sure.
Okay, let's lock that one in.

1003
01:04:45,039 --> 01:04:48,079
I I don't like a widow maker
low key. I don't know why,

1004
01:04:48,119 --> 01:04:51,920
but I can kind of see something
there. I couldn't tell you what it

1005
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:57,679
is, but yeah, that's just
what I'm feeling. The other so with

1006
01:04:58,599 --> 01:05:01,000
because Loki in this in that we've
seen here, he can like turn into

1007
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:04,920
other characters and emulate their abilities,
and I don't know what the limit of

1008
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:09,000
that is. And I like,
there's got to be an Overwatch character that

1009
01:05:09,079 --> 01:05:13,440
does that, right, either,
must be I I was looking through the

1010
01:05:13,519 --> 01:05:21,000
roster. I couldn't like clearly find
one. Oh Echo Echo does that Echo

1011
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:26,760
duplicates targeted enemy hero and gains use
of their abilities. I think we should

1012
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,559
do that though. That makes a
lot of sense. Absolutely, Oh yeah,

1013
01:05:29,679 --> 01:05:31,400
I don't I didn't recognize this Echo
character must be a newer one.

1014
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,440
I mean, we could have made
echo Echo, but I don't know if

1015
01:05:34,519 --> 01:05:39,039
that I don't know if Marvel's Echo
makes a whole lot of sense for that

1016
01:05:39,119 --> 01:05:44,159
comparison. Otherwise, I like that
one. That's a good one. The

1017
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,079
what I was mentioned earlier, Lucio
the music guy. That's got to be

1018
01:05:47,159 --> 01:05:51,039
Dazzler, right, Dazzler. I
didn't even think about that. Yeah,

1019
01:05:51,079 --> 01:05:54,599
that'd be a good one. Mm
hm, okay, walk that one in

1020
01:05:55,960 --> 01:06:01,039
and just trying to see I'm trying
to cross off my list here as we

1021
01:06:01,159 --> 01:06:10,320
go through this. We locked in
ghost Rider for what's his name? Road

1022
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:15,519
Hog? What about iron Man?
Iron Man's got to have someone quite like

1023
01:06:15,599 --> 01:06:18,840
him? Oh? What about oh
Farah Pharah for iron Man? Farah is

1024
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:24,400
like the the floating, like the
lady who flies in the air and shoots

1025
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:29,280
rockets and things like that from the
sky. And her ultimate is just like

1026
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,119
an iron Man moved like one to
one and she's a flyer. So I

1027
01:06:33,119 --> 01:06:35,719
think that one makes a lot of
sense, right, Yeah, I like

1028
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:42,119
that a lot. There's really a
lot of characters that quite quite similar.

1029
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:48,320
Did we grab a Reaper for someone? What about star Lord? What about

1030
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:55,840
star Lord for Reaper movement based guns. Actually, yeah, I kind of

1031
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,599
like that. I think that's that's
a good pick. It's good enough.

1032
01:06:58,679 --> 01:07:12,440
Right, What else is screaming out
to you here? Oh sure, m

1033
01:07:12,639 --> 01:07:27,960
hm hm hmmm, look at it. Junk Rat right now, junk rat.

1034
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,360
Okay, I was trying to see
who would fit for a junk Rat

1035
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:38,840
character. Is that like skinny,
sleek, slunkysh sneaky character? Yeah?

1036
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:44,239
What about what about Rocket? That's
not a bad pick. Kind of old

1037
01:07:44,199 --> 01:07:46,639
about grenades and explosives and stuff,
right, yeah, I could get behind

1038
01:07:46,679 --> 01:07:53,119
that. That's actually really a good
idea. Okay, that's good. I

1039
01:07:53,119 --> 01:07:56,960
don't see where junk Rat is on
the Ohio's okay, Rocket, We're doing

1040
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,199
pretty good. We almost got all
the announced ones. We made this comparison

1041
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:04,840
earlier with the name more having these
freaking octopus that he's thrown down, which

1042
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:09,159
is similar to Semetra. Why don't
we just go with that? Yeah?

1043
01:08:09,239 --> 01:08:14,280
Yeah, that's perfect. I don't
know if there's really any other notable comparison

1044
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:18,399
between them, but you know,
we're getting down to like the weirder comparisons

1045
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:24,840
at this point anyway, So that's
fine, I will say so. From

1046
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:28,279
the trailer, Magic was shown off, which I'm such a huge Magic fan,

1047
01:08:28,399 --> 01:08:31,880
especially after Midnight Suns as a game. Just love that character. Now,

1048
01:08:33,039 --> 01:08:36,239
I think she looks really interesting to
this, Like she her swing is

1049
01:08:36,279 --> 01:08:41,359
so slow that it kind of reminds
me of like the way Ryan Hart swings

1050
01:08:41,399 --> 01:08:43,880
is weapon around. Now I think
that's the only way those characters would be

1051
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,399
some similar. But I think like
a melee based character with like really slow

1052
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:50,760
slashes that has this teleport that she
has where she can quickly close the distance

1053
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:54,840
and move around seems really fun.
So I like, when I was watching

1054
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:58,079
this trailer, that was the character
that jumped out to me as like top

1055
01:08:58,119 --> 01:09:01,439
of mind, I definitely want to
play her, and I wouldn't have made

1056
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:05,720
this comparison otherwise. But when I
was looking at gameplay of Junker Queen,

1057
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:10,479
who's an Overwatch character, there was
something about the character that seemed kind of

1058
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:14,319
similar, Like she has a sword
I think at some point that she slashes

1059
01:09:14,359 --> 01:09:17,239
around. She's got a big weapon
that's like really slow paced, which kind

1060
01:09:17,239 --> 01:09:19,840
of seems like what Magic is here, So you know, we're missing the

1061
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:25,760
teleport angle of it, but I
but we also have some like other moves

1062
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:30,039
like her ultimate or something called rampage. I'm looking at her her move set

1063
01:09:30,079 --> 01:09:32,960
here that actually looks like something Magic
might do. So I think that's a

1064
01:09:33,079 --> 01:09:39,960
that's a decent enough comparison. Yep, I get behind that. In that

1065
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,359
same train of thought, what was
there a character when you were watching the

1066
01:09:42,359 --> 01:09:45,079
trailer that looked really fun to you
that you would think you would be maybe

1067
01:09:45,079 --> 01:09:49,840
your first character that you would check
out. Uh, honestly, I'm just

1068
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:53,840
I'm biased. I'd probably go Iron
Man. I feel like it's very basic.

1069
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,800
I feel like I could just kind
of fit fit the vibes and feel

1070
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,560
or feel the vibes of what's going
on, and then kind of out from

1071
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:05,039
there. Mm hmm yep. Okay, Well, there's only four characters yet

1072
01:10:05,279 --> 01:10:10,079
announced that we haven't picked Scarlet Witch, Storm, Penny Parker, Galactis.

1073
01:10:10,359 --> 01:10:13,960
These ones are pretty hard for me
because actually on my original list, I

1074
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,640
did have Scarlet Witch is being a
Symmetra kind of character, but now we've

1075
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,560
put nam War there. But I
do think that one would have made sense.

1076
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:26,640
Oh, look look into maybe a
life Weaver as Scarlet Witch, because

1077
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:30,640
I like see the abilities. This
feels like a Scarlet Witch kind of character

1078
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:36,640
here with what they're doing kind of
thorn Volley. Oh, you're right,

1079
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:42,960
this is a great pick. The
pedal platform. Oh yeah, this was

1080
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,479
fun. This is one of those
characters. When I was looking through the

1081
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,079
Overwatch characters getting ready for this,
I'm like, no idea, this character

1082
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,920
a complete blind spot because even someone
like Echo, I never played the I

1083
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:55,880
don't think I ever played the game
with an Echo, but I still recognize

1084
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:58,079
the character. But yeah, like
life, we are no idea. But

1085
01:10:58,159 --> 01:11:00,880
I really like that pick. I
think that's a great call. Let's do

1086
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:05,680
that. I think Storm Storm was
a hard one for me, even though

1087
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:09,520
it seems like it should be straightforward, but Storm just has so much potential

1088
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,359
and like, I feel like no
one like lived up to the pencil that

1089
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:25,159
like Storm is. Uh so that's
a tricky one for me. Penny Parker

1090
01:11:25,239 --> 01:11:28,399
as well, is like so,
I guess for anyone who doesn't know,

1091
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:30,560
I mean I didn't know, it's
either. Penny Parker seems to kind of

1092
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,640
has like the Iron Spiders sort of
thing going on. It seems like in

1093
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:36,039
general that's kind of her vibe as
a character. So is there an Overwatch

1094
01:11:36,159 --> 01:11:45,880
character that's like very uh armory,
very covered in armor? This are reset

1095
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:50,640
characters very art. Oh that's a
good pick. Let's go with that one.

1096
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:55,119
I think that's a really good pick. Maybe a bit more of a

1097
01:11:55,159 --> 01:12:00,560
tanky like melee based character. I
like that. Yes, it's just really

1098
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:05,960
a robot. Yeah it works,
it works. And then yeah, is

1099
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:13,319
anything coming to your mind for Storm? Well there's the character Moira. We

1100
01:12:13,359 --> 01:12:15,960
didn't cast her, right, yeah, you know what does Moira do?

1101
01:12:15,039 --> 01:12:19,039
Again? Moira was added when I
still played the game, but kind of

1102
01:12:19,079 --> 01:12:27,319
barely projective. It's not like weather
really related, but it makes me think

1103
01:12:27,359 --> 01:12:32,119
of the weather a little bit.
You know what, Let's go for it.

1104
01:12:32,239 --> 01:12:36,479
Well, let's go for it about
Storm from Moira. And then Galactus.

1105
01:12:38,039 --> 01:12:40,479
Very weird one, right, because
if we're talking about Galactus as like

1106
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:45,039
a smaller scale like human regular human
size, Like what does Galactus do?

1107
01:12:45,119 --> 01:12:47,800
If Galactus isn't big, if Galactus
ain't eat in world, what is Galactus

1108
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:58,399
doing? I don't really know what
about this character Ramatra. I was just

1109
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:00,600
looking at that. I was just
looking at that. I'm looking at these

1110
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:04,800
abilities and again, man, we
got annihilation, Ravenous boy, tet Vortex.

1111
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,960
This is this, this fits?
Yeah, and this character is like

1112
01:13:09,039 --> 01:13:13,279
dark and purple and looks evil as
well, so I think that's actually pretty

1113
01:13:13,319 --> 01:13:15,960
fitting. M So we'll go with
black Okay. So now we've officially picked

1114
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,439
all the characters that are actually in
the game, So good job to us,

1115
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:25,079
because that's that's a lot other Do
you have any other favorite Marvel characters

1116
01:13:25,079 --> 01:13:28,159
that you had had found good Overwatch
equivalents for that you wanted to bring up

1117
01:13:28,199 --> 01:13:32,199
here? Let me just look and
see who we cast it so far,

1118
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:47,520
I can throw a couple at you
if you if you need well, I'm

1119
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:55,840
thinking a Sombra for Black Widow.
Ooh, okay, she's got these tech

1120
01:13:55,920 --> 01:14:00,680
of related abilities machine pistol. I
had Black Widow as like the widow Maker

1121
01:14:01,319 --> 01:14:05,840
character because once again Black Widow widow
maker and also has like the hook,

1122
01:14:06,159 --> 01:14:09,600
like the grappling hook, and then
like the mind, which I feel like

1123
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,039
is something she would have. But
the Sniper doesn't really fit as much,

1124
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:16,600
whereas I think Somber in terms of
like the maneuverability of the character makes a

1125
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:18,760
lot of sense, and I feel
like Black Widow has got to be like

1126
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:21,880
a hacker to some extent, which
is all which is what Somber's deal is,

1127
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:26,760
right, m H, what if
we what if we go with like

1128
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:30,239
Yolena as one and Black Widow is
the other, and then we we can

1129
01:14:30,239 --> 01:14:33,039
get two for one. So which
one do you think is like ideal?

1130
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:42,319
Gosh, so we just go with
like the widow pun and just call Black

1131
01:14:42,359 --> 01:14:46,199
Widow widow maker, I think you
have to, and then we'll call Sombra

1132
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:53,359
as Yolena. Somber is a cool
character. I enjoyed her back in my

1133
01:14:53,439 --> 01:15:01,439
Overwatch days. Cool. Let's see
Torbiorn is a character who sets up a

1134
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:06,640
bunch of traps robots. I kind
of forget what else he does, but

1135
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:12,399
he builds things and sets up electronics. What about like a Doctor Doom or

1136
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,880
an Ultron in terms of like kind
of building up an army, so to

1137
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:21,520
speak of like their other robots.
Yeah, I gravitate towards Doctor Doom actually

1138
01:15:23,159 --> 01:15:29,119
for that. Yeah, because even
if you look at trying to find it,

1139
01:15:29,279 --> 01:15:32,000
like Torburn's arm like it kind of
looks like Doctor Doom's like kind of

1140
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,760
coffee cups, sort of like shoulders. You know that he has like ultimate

1141
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:40,560
lights one. So let's go with
that. And there's something weird about Torbiorn

1142
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:45,079
being Doctor Doom. It's just unsettling
in a good way. So I'm into

1143
01:15:45,119 --> 01:15:49,079
that. I think I have you. Have you looked at Kiraco, this

1144
01:15:49,119 --> 01:15:56,079
Overwatch character? Uh? I did? Actually, yes, is that not

1145
01:15:56,159 --> 01:16:04,159
Electra? That's Electra? Right?
Oh, well you got another one for

1146
01:16:04,279 --> 01:16:17,119
me. Could it be like a
bull's eye because of the maybe maybe a

1147
01:16:17,159 --> 01:16:23,319
Gambit actually whipping a whole cards right? Oh, I didn't even see the

1148
01:16:23,399 --> 01:16:28,880
cards. Okay, yeah, it's
gotta be Gambit teleport. I don't I

1149
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:30,279
don't know if Gambit would telephte but
I could see him like doing like a

1150
01:16:30,399 --> 01:16:33,800
quote unquote rocket jump with like his
cards, like throw them down. I

1151
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:36,880
like that a lot. Let's go
with that. That's really really smart.

1152
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,920
And then okay, here's the here's
a weird one. Ryan Hart, of

1153
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:49,159
course, is like one of the
most iconic Overwatch characters. Big dude with

1154
01:16:49,159 --> 01:16:55,560
a shield, big like warhammer,
really tanky guy swinging. I was thinking

1155
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:59,520
that, what about Cole Obsidian,
who's like the guy from the Black Order.

1156
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:01,640
He's like the big beast guy.
He doesn't necessarily a shield, but

1157
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,520
you or maybe he does even in
one of the movies, but you could

1158
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:08,079
give him a shield, and I
just think he's got that scale to him.

1159
01:17:08,079 --> 01:17:11,800
He's got the big weapon in his
arm, So I like that one.

1160
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:15,359
Another kind of under the radar sort
of pick too, right, Yeah,

1161
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:20,279
I like that one a lot.
Cool walk that one in. We

1162
01:17:20,359 --> 01:17:24,279
had talked about Ghostwriter as a McRee, which I think is cool. But

1163
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:30,760
since we gave Ghostwriter elsewhere, what
about just like Nick Fury for McRee nick

1164
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:32,840
Fury in terms of the move set, like personality wise is not there,

1165
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,000
but in terms of the move set, like you know, Pistol, like

1166
01:17:36,119 --> 01:17:41,079
more grounds, weapons base, a
bit more down to earth, but like

1167
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,720
you know, precise sort of character. Is there a better one? Or

1168
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:46,359
is that good enough? No?
I think that's I think that's great.

1169
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:51,279
Okay, you got any other ones
for me? Here? Well? I

1170
01:17:51,319 --> 01:17:57,560
was looking up this Allari character trying
to think who who fits that? Right?

1171
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,800
I think I had one? I
mean, look at her again on

1172
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:08,079
this website. Hmm. Definitely going
through this makes me want to jump back

1173
01:18:08,079 --> 01:18:13,159
and Overwatch, just because I've always
missed that game, but also just seeing

1174
01:18:13,159 --> 01:18:16,560
some of these new characters that do
look very fun. Ooh, Lari,

1175
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:24,479
so she's got a solar rifle captive
sun so it seems like an energy sun

1176
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:28,399
based character. What of a sunspot
from ninety seven. Yeah, there you

1177
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:32,000
go. That's brilliant. And because
it seems like she's maybe a healer and

1178
01:18:32,039 --> 01:18:38,319
I could see his son powers being
like healing in the game. Cool.

1179
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:45,079
Another one here, Bridget. Have
you seen Bridget before? Bridge? Bridget's

1180
01:18:45,119 --> 01:18:48,159
got more like melee combats. It
got a big shield. She's a support

1181
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:54,680
Captain America potentially. I mean with
the shield, for sure, I'm totally

1182
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:59,279
sold on that. Her flail weapon
also does look a bit daredevili, but

1183
01:18:59,319 --> 01:19:04,000
I don't know if the rest of
her moves that does m Now I kind

1184
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:08,319
of want to. I mean,
she's got the inspirability. I feel like,

1185
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:18,319
rally, those are Captain America,
that shield, let's locks And now

1186
01:19:18,399 --> 01:19:23,800
I believe in the lore Bridget and
Torborn like. I think Bridget is Torburne's

1187
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:28,319
daughter. So the idea of like
Captain America and Doctor Doom having some sort

1188
01:19:28,359 --> 01:19:33,239
of relation is also a fun secondary
thought. Uh, you got any other

1189
01:19:33,239 --> 01:19:38,439
ones for me? We're getting down
to it. We only have like five

1190
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,159
or six characters left actually, so
I think we're gonna be able to run

1191
01:19:41,199 --> 01:19:46,640
the gambit here and get this all
in sweet again tease. You know we

1192
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:50,239
didn't, but We didn't write anything
down for Hansa. We decided on Hawkeye

1193
01:19:50,239 --> 01:19:54,920
for that, right we did?
Yeah, yeah, okay, write that

1194
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:00,680
down. There's a lot of healers. I know. I this is another

1195
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:08,159
one biotic launcher. He's got regenderative
burst, he's got immortality field. This

1196
01:20:08,199 --> 01:20:11,840
is one I did not. I
racked my brain, but I could not

1197
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:21,079
think of one. Oh wouldn't be
like, oh gosh, why am I?

1198
01:20:21,119 --> 01:20:28,279
Why am I running a blank here? Uh? Name Forge? Bishop?

1199
01:20:30,159 --> 01:20:34,960
Yes? Thank you? I was
thinking Bishop for Jorn. Actually have

1200
01:20:35,039 --> 01:20:41,479
you seen Jorn? Sure? I
think this is Yeah, Jorne once again

1201
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:48,119
has the gun power slide, the
disruptor shot. Yeah. I'm getting Bishop

1202
01:20:48,239 --> 01:20:53,720
vibes here too. But what what
if we do for Baptiste? How about

1203
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,159
we give what do we we do
Forge for that? Because that because Forge

1204
01:20:56,159 --> 01:20:59,399
seems like a bit more supportive,
and that guy seems supportive. Yeah,

1205
01:20:59,399 --> 01:21:01,920
I like that a lot more.
Actually, Okay, so Forge there,

1206
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:05,239
and I like that we have both
of those boys in there. Bishop.

1207
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:13,039
So I think the only characters we
have left are Ash and h Zaria.

1208
01:21:13,159 --> 01:21:15,239
And then there's a character that just
was announced but is an now yet called

1209
01:21:15,319 --> 01:21:19,520
Venture. I actually have a pick
for Venture if you might have to google

1210
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:23,119
this one because I don't think it's
on the website. But Venture, if

1211
01:21:23,159 --> 01:21:26,800
you just watch like quick game,
places essentially like the Underminer, she just

1212
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:30,199
goes underground burrows disrupts the earth.
So I was thinking Quake for that.

1213
01:21:30,399 --> 01:21:32,840
I don't know if you're familiar with
Quake much, but yeah, I think

1214
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:40,000
that's probably a good pick there.
So let's go Quake. So that leaves

1215
01:21:40,079 --> 01:21:49,560
just three characters, ash Anna and
Zaria, and I have a Zaria potential

1216
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:56,159
one here which could be could be
Thor, could be Thor. Now,

1217
01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:59,880
I think I could see Thor being
like more of a tanky character like Zaria,

1218
01:21:59,880 --> 01:22:02,760
as I'd see the energy field kind
of shooting out like the orbs that

1219
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:06,279
Zaria shoots out. I could see
like being like a hammer throw. I

1220
01:22:06,319 --> 01:22:09,399
don't think it's perfect, but I
think Thor would be a character that we

1221
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:12,399
should try and definitely because I think
that actually gives us the rest that gives

1222
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:15,560
us all the Avengers, the main
six Avengers from you know that original movie.

1223
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,399
So maybe we could just go with
that, like, Okay, let's

1224
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:29,359
do it, and then so that
leaves us now ash and Ana. Yeah,

1225
01:22:29,399 --> 01:22:31,319
I think for Anna, I think
I did. When I was in

1226
01:22:31,359 --> 01:22:34,039
my notes, I think I did
put Luna Snow as a potential there,

1227
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:39,840
Okay, because she's kind of like
Luna Snows once again about like sniping a

1228
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,479
bit, and it seems like Luna
Snow like throws ice at enemies to heat

1229
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:45,920
to heat or enemies to damage them
and then like ice that teammates to heal

1230
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:51,720
them maybe or power them up.
And that's definitely what Anna does. But

1231
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:58,119
then that would require us to get
another tracer pick. What about a Winter

1232
01:22:58,359 --> 01:23:04,640
Soldier like burns her on a sniper
based Okay, yeah, definitely does some

1233
01:23:05,199 --> 01:23:13,000
assassination. Remember's like movement abilities.
How does she move around? Maybe she

1234
01:23:13,039 --> 01:23:16,239
doesn't all a lot page not found? Oh great, maybe they deleted her

1235
01:23:16,239 --> 01:23:19,279
from the game or something. Okay, here we go. So she's got

1236
01:23:19,319 --> 01:23:23,239
a biotic rifle, she got the
sleep dart. That definitely seems like a

1237
01:23:23,279 --> 01:23:27,399
Winter Soldier thing because he's always getting
put to sleep. Biotic grenade, I

1238
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:29,800
mean, he would definitely have a
grenade. I think that's a great pick.

1239
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:32,119
Yeah, let's let's lock that one
in. There we go. So

1240
01:23:32,159 --> 01:23:35,359
that just leaves up with Ash,
which is a character that I when I

1241
01:23:35,359 --> 01:23:39,199
was looking at her move set.
I could not think of a character that

1242
01:23:39,279 --> 01:23:42,279
made sense. So she's also kind
of like Macree. She's kind of like

1243
01:23:42,319 --> 01:23:46,279
a Western type. She's got a
gun, she's got like a another gun,

1244
01:23:46,279 --> 01:23:49,720
she's got dynamite, and she's got
this thing called Bob. What is

1245
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:57,159
Bob? Oh, Bob's like a
giant mech dude. Oh uh, that

1246
01:23:57,199 --> 01:24:00,000
looks pretty fun. I like.
I like the look of Bob deployed,

1247
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:01,920
which so that makes me think of
maybe like Ultron, you know, someone

1248
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:08,479
a big robot. Guys got range
attacks. But I don't. I don't

1249
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:13,000
love it, but I think it's
it's fine. What about a yawn?

1250
01:24:13,119 --> 01:24:17,920
Do Bob could be like the arrow
calling in too? I really the arrow

1251
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:23,079
would be really cool. That would
that would almost be like a soldier's aim

1252
01:24:23,119 --> 01:24:26,039
bought kind of thing, just like
around hitting people out. But I like

1253
01:24:26,039 --> 01:24:29,199
that Let's get you because there's a
lot of Guardians in here, so I

1254
01:24:29,319 --> 01:24:33,680
like that a lot. Let's do
it, Taylor. We've we've done it.

1255
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:42,920
We've cast all forty Overwatch characters as
they're Marvel counterparts. I'm impressed with

1256
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,359
us. I think that that's a
lot, and I'm not gonna read it

1257
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:48,720
all off again, But if anyone
wants to see the recap, you can

1258
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:53,119
head over to YouTube. I've just
pulled it up on the screen share.

1259
01:24:53,159 --> 01:24:56,399
You can see what we wrote down
for everyone. But I'm really happy with

1260
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:59,119
this and if this ever, if
this happened, I think I'd be very

1261
01:24:59,159 --> 01:25:02,560
happy with the roster. That would
be insane. Yeah, any any other

1262
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:06,760
thoughts on Marvel's rivals now that we've
gone through this this thing? Is there

1263
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:11,319
any characters I guess that we didn't
cast that you'd like to see make it

1264
01:25:11,319 --> 01:25:13,439
in somehow? I feel like we've
kind of hit a lot of the big

1265
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:15,560
ones. But yeah, I feel
like we I feel like we've hit definitely

1266
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:21,600
all the big ones. I mean
maybe there's probably like a Blade characters like

1267
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:26,039
that, but it would be cool
Moonlight as well. Those types of characters

1268
01:25:26,039 --> 01:25:30,159
in there would be fun. But
I think if I were to pop up

1269
01:25:30,199 --> 01:25:36,960
in a game and the roster has
Yondo and has Bishop bone Breaker, like,

1270
01:25:38,159 --> 01:25:41,880
come on, this is this is
fantastic? And allot to mention the

1271
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:45,760
skins too, the cosmetics that you'd
have. Yeah, these characters, oh

1272
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,039
my gosh. Yeah, you could
even do like for an iron Man,

1273
01:25:48,079 --> 01:25:54,680
you give them like a my god, what is what is his homies name?

1274
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:57,159
There? War Machine? You give
them a war machine skin, so

1275
01:25:57,199 --> 01:25:59,399
you get like a bonus character in
there. There's a few of those for

1276
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:01,159
sure, as we talked about,
like Genji could be so many different characters,

1277
01:26:01,199 --> 01:26:04,159
so that'd be a fun way to
kind of infuse more characters in the

1278
01:26:04,199 --> 01:26:06,680
game. But yeah, I am
very much looking forward to this. I

1279
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,960
think it's gonna be a fun time. Even if it's not a long time,

1280
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:13,000
I think it will be a fun
time for a few weeks to play

1281
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,960
this game. And I think it's
it's one of those games that you know,

1282
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,720
when each new character comes out,
I could see myself jumping back in

1283
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:20,520
it want to check them out.
I want to see I would evolve,

1284
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:24,159
see the different maps as they get
introduced, because I'm just such a Marvel

1285
01:26:24,239 --> 01:26:27,760
fan in that way. So yeah, I'm looking forward to this game.

1286
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:29,680
I think it's cool. I hope
to see more. Like I said,

1287
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:31,000
I did try to get into this
beta in May. I don't know if

1288
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:33,239
there's an NDA on it, if
you're not allowed to talk about it.

1289
01:26:33,399 --> 01:26:36,680
If not, though I definitely would
share my thoughts. But yeah, look

1290
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:40,239
forward. I think this would be
fun to play with you and and Travis

1291
01:26:40,279 --> 01:26:42,560
and Kirkland. Hopefully there's like cross
playing there and we can all get in

1292
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:45,640
there. It'd be fun to team
up as a squad of six, get

1293
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:48,800
some other people in there, and
yeah, there you go. There's Marvel's

1294
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:55,399
rivals. And I think that's all
for today. Taylor's is a lot of

1295
01:26:55,399 --> 01:26:58,600
fun, great discussion. Thank you
for joining me, and we'll see you

1296
01:26:58,600 --> 01:26:59,880
all next week. By
