... Read moreWow, okay, so I saw the original post about who everyone wants in Marvel Rivals, and I just HAD to jump in with my own thoughts! This game has so much potential, and honestly, the character roster is going to make or break it. I've been spending way too much time thinking about the ultimate lineup, especially focusing on those 'Characters I want to see in MARVEL RIVALS' that bring something truly unique to the battlefield. First off, let's talk about that 'short, smart, strategic gamer vibe.' This is exactly what I'm looking for in new Marvel Rivals characters! We need heroes who aren't just about brute force, but who can outwit opponents and control the flow of battle. My mind immediately goes to Ant-Man (Scott Lang). Imagine him shrinking to dodge attacks, growing to create distractions, or even deploying a swarm of ants to disrupt enemies. His kit could be incredibly tactical, allowing for clever plays that reward strategic thinking over just mashing buttons. Another fantastic pick would be Rocket Raccoon. He's the epitome of smart and strategic, always coming up with gadgets and traps. His abilities could involve setting up turrets, throwing explosive devices, or using a jetpack for quick maneuvers. He'd be a nightmare for unsuspecting foes! Then there's the incredibly agile and quick-witted Spider-Man. While he's a popular choice, focusing on his strategic side – using webs for crowd control, movement, and disabling enemies – would make him a standout. He’s not just punching; he’s thinking three steps ahead. Similarly, someone like Moon Knight could offer a really interesting strategic gameplay style. His different personalities could even translate into various combat stances or abilities, allowing players to adapt on the fly. He's always planning, always unpredictable. And speaking of dynamic duos, I've seen a lot of talk about a 'Spideytorch edit' and it got me thinking about how amazing characters with contrasting but complementary abilities would be in Marvel Rivals. Imagine the sheer chaos and fun if you could combine the agility and web-slinging of Spider-Man with the fiery, explosive power and flight of the Human Torch! While we might not get direct character fusions, having characters whose move sets synergize beautifully would be incredible. Perhaps a character like Prowler could be a fantastic foil or complement to a high-flying hero, with his stealth and tech gadgets creating diversion and control. Or even Gwen Stacy (Spider-Gwen), bringing her own unique web-based acrobatics and flair, creating epic moments that fans would definitely want to capture and "edit" into highlight reels. Ultimately, the desire for 'new Marvel Rivals characters' isn't just about adding familiar faces; it's about expanding the gameplay possibilities. I want to see characters that force us to think differently, collaborate strategically, and really dive deep into the unique mechanics this game offers. Who are your top picks that fit this description? I'm always looking for new ideas to add to my dream roster!
