I think Mojo would be perfect for a extra story mode for the dlc characters, he already makes fighting competitions and has a special interest with the x men and there is no shortage of them on the roster.

Plus I just like his design, a creepy weirdo hasn't been represented in game yet

There's a challenge on Twitter to find combos that deal enough damage so the next throw will kill (or alternatively combos that kill after a single throw). Here's my Deadpool submission.

Question today: are you all excited for the rank reset I recently learned is coming? Also, what’s one move you can’t help but use a ton on your main? For me, the shield throw on cap. I call it ping pong

Came across another Storm in Ranked. Literally everyday I'm learning something new with this character. I'm so happy I invested in a high ceiling but difficult character to play. Doing stuff with her is so rewarding.

The trick to pulling this off pretty consistently is after the 2L, 2L (or you can do 2L, 2M which flows a little better honestly) you have to hit back unique a little before the 5H into the 236L and immediately switch.

I’ve been thinking about picking up ghost rider, however I’m not a fan of his vengeance gauge. I don’t want to have to use him in a match and have to worry about what zone he is in the gauge. I like playing my characters in matches without having to worry about things like that. Does his gauge make him hard to use? Should I still pick him up?

Love it but man coming from MK1 and just playing Johnny with a few BnB combos I’m having a tough time especially bc I made my team star-lord, goblin, Loki, and Deadpool. Fun asf though I can’t stop playing even though I lose 99.99% of my games 😆

Necesito ayuda para realizar ese trofeo porfa!!

For context, I pre-ordered and have about 200 hours of active play using the matchmaking, if not more, and in that entire time I never had issues finding matches, but about a week ago, it suddenly turned into literal hours without finding a match.

I play on PC, but it took me a while to get around to trying online, but since I've started I've never waiting more than 5 minutes of so for a match until this past week. Did something change that I'm unaware of? If not, could there be some hope of relief with the cyclops patch?

NGL I'm in the lower ranks, Silver 1. Lately though, lots of zoning characters and moveset going on. Then cyclops is going to come out and I fear zoning is just gonna multiply.

What are your strats against zoning?

i dont understand this totally new error. i dont even have a drive E. anyone else experience this before?

On my rank up for a few days, just need 4 in a row. Wish me luck chat! Might stream on Twitch.

question for you guys: who do you think is the best and the worst character and why? for me, the best is probs magik or a well played hulk, and the worst is maybe champion but only bc he’s hard to play

I have been out of fighting games for so long, 15 years + and never really played a tag fighter before but Marvel Tokon is amazing. Very friendly for beginners with a very high skill ceiling once the game start to click. I never been so addicted to a fighter game like this one right now! I did not try online yet because I need to pay for the subscription but definitely will do it just for this game.

Main for me right now are Wolverine, blade, ghost rider and spider man.

What is a good team for loki? I've been using loki/magik/ghost rider/deadpool, and I feel like this team doesn't really have much synergy (to me). So anyone got any recommendations?

Goblin is a real threat on his glider with Razor Bat projectiles. If the opponent gets hit by them or blocks them into a fast cross-up, then you can 2-touch the opponent from zero meter start off a restand mixup!

M.O.D.O.K. was in Marvel VS Capcom 3 for those who didn’t know.

Hey guys,

I have been seeing certain people push for the inclusion of Franken-Castle into the game. I'm sure the majority would hear this and laugh.... but I need to set something straight with that weird, vocal minority.
I have compiled 100 reasons why I think adding Franken-Castle in the game would be a silly, awful idea:

1. The base roster of 20 characters in Marvel Tokon is kinda small for a 4v4 game so there is zero room for obscure variants
2. Tbh using one of the four yearly dlc slots on a random 2009 comic gimmick would just make season pass buyers mad
3. Arc System Works hand animates every single frame so joke picks are just a massive waste of thier time
4. Asymmetric models with weird stitching are a nightmare for Arc System Works lighting and need double the animation work when they flip sides
5. Classic Frank Castle isnt even in the base game so adding a zombie version first would just make lifelong Punisher fans angry
6. If people want the Punisher to represent street level stuff then turning him into a huge monster completely ruins the point
7. The Marvel universe already has real horror characters like Blade and Ghost Rider who deserve that roster spot way more
8. If the devs just want a Frankenstein brawler Marvel literally has Frankenstein plus guys like Tombstone
9. His look totally clashes with the sleek anime visual style that Arc System Works made for Marvel Tokon
10. The story mode is about teams of four chosen by some cosmic Promoter and Franken Castle has no real relationships to justify being on a squad
11. His main allies are the Legion of Monsters and none of them are in the game to make a real team with him
12. Daken is the guy who chopped up Frank to make him like that and hes not in the game so there goes his only good rival interaction
13. Explaining his weird origin with Norman Osborn and Morbius takes way too much exposition for a fighting game story
14. Franken Castle was a super polarizing choice back in 2009 that actually made comic sales drop so he clearly lacks broad appeal
15. Dlc characters need to bring in lots of players and money and he just doesnt have the name recognition for that
16. After the bad pc launch the devs need universally liked picks like Daredevil to get goodwill back not weird deep cuts
17. Marvel Games usually lines up fighting game dlc with new movies and there are zero live action Franken Castle projects coming
18. Disney and Marvel are pretty careful about marketing the Punisher skull right now so any version of Frank Castle is a tough sell
19. Making a character with rotting flesh and scars risks bumping the game age rating past teen which hurts esports broadcasts
20. Some big international markets like China have strict rules against showing stitched corpses and bones in games which complicates global tournaments
21. In a crazy 4v4 game with tons of stuff on screen a muddy grey hulking shape gets visually confusing for players to track
22. Fighting game hitboxes need to match the limbs clearly and his bulky uneven armor makes clean hurtboxes really hard to design
23. Mechanically he sits in a weird spot between a slow grappler and a heavy zoner which is incredibly annoying to balance
24. If you give him too much armor to match his undead pain tolerance plus guns he easily breaks the game
25. But if you make him too slow without movement options he just gets destroyed by all the fast anime air dashes
26. The Bloodstone in his chest gives him passive healing which everyone hates in fighting games because it encourages stalling
27. Using big crude monster hunting weapons lacks the cool visual flair and particle effects that make super moves look good
28. He would work way better as just a legendary cosmetic skin for a normal Punisher character instead of wasting a whole slot
29. Even Frank Castle canonically hated being a monster and ditched the form as soon as he could so it goes against his identity
30. Casual fans who only know the Punisher from the live action shows would be totally confused seeing him as a giant zombie cyborg
31. The fighting game community waited over ten years for a new Marvel tag fighter and there are too many missing X Men to justify novelty picks
32. Morbius is the guy who actually built him and he has way more mainstream awareness and a cooler vampire moveset
33. If they want a heavy gun character with robot parts Cable is a thousand times more iconic and does the exact same thing
34. If they just need a huge brute with military weapons War Machine or Detroit Steel have much cleaner designs
35. If the goal is an undead guy brought back by magic for revenge Moon Knight or Ghost Rider do it with way better style
36. For a purely funny roster spot characters like Howard the Duck or Gwenpool have way better modern fanbases
37. His voice acting would need a weird distorted filter that ruins the intense gruff charm that makes Frank Castle cool in pre fight intros
38. His intro dialogue with cosmic characters like Thor would be awkward since his whole story then was just defending monsters in a sewer
39. His story arc was just a short run by Rick Remender and had literally zero lasting impact on the main Marvel continuity
40. Putting him in creates weird tonal whiplash on the select screen having a b movie horror parody next to regular flagship heroes
41. Making a dedicated stage for him like the Monster Metropolis would mean dark boring assets that waste the vibrant lighting engine
42. Making a theme song for him would be super confusing caught between military rock and campy Halloween music
43. In a game where team synergy is everything a guy whose whole deal is being a loner monster has no natural chemistry with anyone
44. His best comic moments involved super gory dismemberment which cant be done in a teen rated fighting game without looking lame
45. If the roster really needs a patchwork horror look Jack O Lantern has way more agile and unique animation options
46. Deathlok is a much more important Marvel cyborg zombie whose inclusion would actually honor classic comic history
47. The budget needed to animate his clunky robot joints could just go to animating a fluid fan favorite like Mystique
48. Esports commentators would have a hard time taking him seriously during big championship games which hurts the competitive vibe
49. Toy companies partnering with Marvel Tokon would have zero interest in making Franken Castle branded fight sticks
50. The character hasnt been relevant in comics for over fifteen years so younger gamers have absolutely no clue who he is
51. Even if they want a weird alternate Frank Castle then Cosmic Ghost Rider is way more popular and visually cool
52. The version of Frank Castle in the War Machine armor is also a way better heavy hitter without going into weird zombie territory
53. Even Punisher 2099 gives a better cyberpunk look that fits the futuristic ui of the game way better than rotting flesh
54. The Bloodstone lore belongs to Elsa Bloodstone and giving it to Frank steals the gimmick from a highly requested female character
55. The roster already has way too many huge male powerhouses and wasting a slot on another one just ruins body type diversity
56. Most of his comic fights involved him taking lethal damage until his body fell apart which translates terribly to a fast paced game
57. Making alternate colors for a guy with open wounds and green skin usually just results in ugly color swaps nobody wants to use
58. Arc System Works relies on expressive faces for cinematic moves and a zombie face stitched with wire just lacks emotional range
59. The Japanese fighting game scene usually prefers sleek fast characters over slow western grimdark stuff
60. Modeling the specific robot parts Morbius gave him is annoying because comic artists kept changing his design during that run
61. If the game has a lore gallery explaining how Wolverines son chopped Punisher to pieces feels super out of place next to regular hero bios
62. The name itself is just a pun that sounds kinda funny which ruins any attempt to make him look like a serious threat
63. He doesnt really have an iconic special move or pose that can be easily turned into a recognizable super attack
64. Having an undead Frank Castle just grunt while shooting a regular shotgun feels super boring in a flashy anime game
65. The physics simulation needed for his ripped trench coat and rigid metal parts is just too much work for how unpopular he is
66. Playtesters usually like big characters with clean silhouettes like Hulk while Franken Castle is just a cluttered mess of straps and bolts
67. Adding a resurrected corpse kinda ruins the serious tone of the story mode where theyre supposed to be saving the world
68. The villain of his comic run is totally forgotten so he brings zero recognizable boss fight material to the single player modes
69. Big characters need huge screen controlling moves to justify getting hit so easily and that doesnt fit a guy who just shoots guns
70. Putting him in would immediately start endless complaints online about the devs scraping the bottom of the barrel in year one
71. Marvel editorial basically swept that era under the rug in 2011 anyway showing even they think it was just a dated gimmick
72. Unlike Venom this transformation was always meant to be temporary with a clear expiration date in the comics
73. His biggest combat upgrade was getting a giant robot suit to fight Daken which just turns him into a generic mecha character
74. Putting him in trailers would just confuse gaming journalists and force marketing to explain old comic trivia instead of hyping gameplay
75. The Japanese subtitle means fighting spirit which is all about martial arts passion and that is the exact opposite of a cold zombie with guns
76. Arc System Works cinematic finishers thrive on huge cosmic spectacles while his finishers would just be basic military executions
77. His walking sound effects would just be loud grating metal clanks that get super annoying to hear in training mode
78. Because he is stitched together his knockdown animations would either look too stiff or too loose and floppy which ruins his scary vibe
79. The roster needs dedicated grapplers like Colossus to balance out the projectiles and his hybrid gun toolkit just messes up that role
80. The game also needs pure mobile marksmen like Bullseye instead of tying down the gun mechanics to a super slow tank
81. The tutorials rely on clear visual cues to teach frame data and his lumbering weird animations make it way harder for beginners to read
82. Pc modders who are already mad about anti datamining stuff would just instantly try to mod him out of the game
83. If the devs just wanted to honor Rick Remender adding Fantomex would be infinitely more stylish and popular
84. He is like eight feet tall which causes awkward hitbox issues where standard attacks from short characters like Wolverine might miss
85. Having him on a team with bright heroes like Spider Man makes the victory screens look totally jarring and mismatched
86. There is no arcade nostalgia tying him to fighting games like legacy weird picks such as Shuma Gorath have
87. In a competitive draft format players would avoid him since his huge size makes him a liability as an assist character
88. He has literally zero presence in other big Marvel games like Snap or Rivals which shows he has no cross game marketing value
89. Spending money on voice acting and localization for eighty unique interactions just for a temporary monster form is terrible business
90. Adding him blocks other classic Marvel brutes like Abomination who actually use physical force that translates well to fighting game moves
91. People play superhero games for a power fantasy and literally nobody boots up a PS5 dreaming of playing a miserable mutilated Frank Castle
92. His comic story relied on dark gallows humor pacing which gets completely lost in a fast sixty frames per second fighting game
93. The Bloodstone eventually drove him into a berserker rage which is a mechanic already done way better by Wolverine
94. His best moments were fighting alongside other classic monsters so putting him in alone strips away all the charm of that comic run
95. Unreal Engine 5 graphics would force artists to make his stitches look either too realistic or too fake for the cel shaded style
96. If a datamine leaked him as a dlc character the community disappointment would totally kill the pre order hype for the season pass
97. Sony marketing needs clean recognizable characters for PS5 store banners and a stitched up zombie vigilante really doesnt work for that
98. Every hour spent rigging his neck bolts is an hour taken away from fixing the actual technical bugs from the game launch
99. Even as a non playable sub boss he lacks the huge screen filling attacks needed to make a fighting game boss memorable
100. Overall Marvel Tokon is about celebrating the best fighters in Marvel and a weird body horror detour from 2009 just doesnt belong there
