Re: Jab’s Builds! (Kate Neville! SHIELD Super-Agents! Maria Hill!)

Maria Hill is remarkable for just how unlikable you can make a character right out of the gate. And also shows how little Mark Millar got . . . well, everything. He seriously tried to portray Captain America and the Anti-Registration side as being in the wrong . . . but does so by having Hill be th...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Kate Neville! SHIELD Super-Agents! Maria Hill!)

I consider Hill a perfect example of why Civil War and all the surrounding stories never really worked. Millar took many effective and even funny concepts and bent them out of shape to serve a specific narrative that didn't fit the 616 universe. I can absolutely buy the idea of many S.H.I.E.L.D. age...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Shrinking! Morph! Variable!

The size chart is one of those legacies from D&D 3e/d20 that I really wish would go away.

Re: Gabe Jones

-Gabe joins S.H.I.E.L.D. at some point, becoming the #3 former Commando behind Fury & Dugan, but with an unspecified level of seniority within the organization. During Secret Invasion , he quits it alongside Dugan to form a new "Howling Commandos". He and Eric Koenig are later killed ...

Re: Nick Fury

-This ridiculous storyline actually culminated in Fury himself growing old after years of using the Infinity Formula and using Life Model Decoys as his agents, and he was "permanently" replaced by his son when it's revealed that he had killed Uatu the Watcher for not revealing valuable in...

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Shrinking! Morph! Variable!

Variable is powerful, but it's also very inefficient in a game where you can buy alternate powers for 1pp each.

Re: Guile

Like many Street Fighter characters, he has some basis in a character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (a formative, influential manga that's never been popular here because the characters look a bit too metrosexual- to put it delicately- to appeal to Western audiences) In many European countries (esp...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Cammy! Ryu! Ken! Luke! Jamie! Zangief!)

So I shall ask the all-important question: Who are your Street Fighter mains? Question 2: Who are your favorite characters (not necessarily ones you play)? Question 3: Who's your Superwaifu? (or Superhusband? I won't judge) I believe I've not touched a Street Fighter game in over twenty years, so I...

Re: The World In The Aftermath (Formerly A World Less Magical)

Since she only has Morph 1, I guess that the transformation is only cosmetic.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Chun-Li! Dee Jay! Blanka! Kimberly!)

When I discovered Street Fighter 2 (in its atrocious Commodore 64 port), Honda was the only character I was able to master. I think it's a testament to the good design of the game that the team made sure that the, supposedly, least popular designs were also the easier to use.

Re: Jab’s Power Profiles: Feature! Growth! Shrinking!

The general problem with Growth and Shrink is the same of power copy/steal, they simply don't play nice with PL limitations. Having read ICONS, I strongly suspect that finding a more elegant way to handle them was very high on Steve's list of things to do. Hell, I read two or three of his games afte...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Street Fighter VI! Chun-Li! Dee Jay! Blanka!)

Blanka is one of my favorite characters because it's so "out there". Most of the Street Fighter rooster are "generic" martial artists of various kinds, some with insane abilities, but still quite normal-ish... and then you have a green and orange beastman that generate electricit...

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Extra Limbs! Protection! Insubstantial!

The biggest problem of Insubstatial 4 (especially with Precise) is that it provides what amounts to an almost full Immunity for a fraction of the cost. Moreover, it's an insanely powerful base for an Array. Personally, I almost always make it Distracting, since many insubstatial characters in comics...
