Episode 203 - Marvel Rivals Season 1 Recap · My Third Place Pod

0:00
Taking a break from playing Marvel Rivals to say welcome
0:02
back to my third place podcast. If you hear a lot of rustling
0:09
and stuff around in the background, my baby dog is
0:15
walking around little. You'll hear the pitter patter
0:18
and I, I can't do anything about it.
0:20
I thought she'd be sleeping by now, but you know, like a child,
0:24
I thought she'd be sleeping right now.
0:25
And I have this time to come out here and say I'm Evo and this is
0:30
episode 203 and we're going to talk about Marble Rivals.
0:36
Yes, we are. That's right, taking a break
0:40
from playing marble Rivals to talk about Marble rivals.
0:45
Why not? Aside from the podcast that I've
0:48
been listening to about Marvel Rivals and its lore, I figure
0:51
maybe it's time to talk about my experience with the game so far,
0:55
the fandom, and maybe some tips and tricks along the way.
0:58
Side Quest. Haven't said that in a while.
1:02
I'm pretty proud of it too. Haven't said in a while.
1:05
Side Quest. I also want to say that this
1:06
game has seasons, and it's currently on season 1.
1:10
That's where I'm at. The next season won't start
1:11
until the middle of April, so just so I don't get burned out
1:16
talking about this game from here and out, I will talk about
1:19
it in between the seasons and how I'm currently doing with it.
1:24
So right now it's in the middle of the season.
1:26
The first half of the season started on January 6th, season
1:29
0, which y'all have heard me talk about in the past episodes.
1:34
It came out on December 5th, 24, and I was playing that game
1:37
nonstop for that entire month. I'm also a big numbers guy.
1:43
Y'all know me, y'all know how I am.
1:45
Sorry I'm about to open this and you all know how I feel about
1:49
numbers and analytics so I thought I would share with you
1:52
all what the numbers were during season 0.
1:55
So here they are. Marvel Rivals has become a big
1:58
game event and I'm completely invested.
2:01
Invested. I'm locked all in on this game.
2:04
I haven't played a game non-stop like this in such a long while
2:07
and has taken over my life. I've lost sleep because of this
2:12
game. See these bags under my eyes?
2:15
Oh, you can't see them, there's lost filter but I YouTube.
2:20
Can you see these bags under my eyes?
2:23
YouTube's not filtered. I maybe I'm hiding it under my
2:27
hat, but see these bags because I've lost sleep.
2:33
Talk playing this game, talking about this game.
2:36
Anybody that will listen now, like talk to this game, about
2:39
this game. It's crazy really.
2:43
So with that in mind, let's just do a recap of Season 0.
2:48
Cheers for that season. I played for 76 hours and it
3:00
felt like a start up to me. Obviously there were a bunch of
3:04
people better testing the game so they knew exactly what to do,
3:08
but for the new people downloading the game, it was
3:10
like being thrown into the ocean and trying not to drown as waves
3:14
were hitting you. That's how it felt.
3:19
That season's big bad with Doctor Doom.
3:21
He was the main villain and even though it wasn't the character
3:25
that we were able to use, it was still great to see.
3:27
Gallery cars of the Incursion event.
3:31
Lots of characters coming from different multiverses and
3:33
interaction with others. I love the storylines and the
3:37
lines between characters getting to know one another.
3:40
Captain America telling the Punisher that the Punisher from
3:42
his universe is evil. There's a lot of mentions of
3:45
other characters as well, like Squirrel Girl, one of my
3:48
favorite characters of all time, now and forever telling us about
3:53
Deadpool and all that stuff and I'm like oh shit he's coming.
3:58
I basically didn't know what I was doing in season 0 so I had
4:02
to look up the differences between three major stuff,
4:06
Vanguards, duelist, and strategist.
4:10
Vanguards are tanks, they're hard to kill and they're usually
4:13
in the front of the line trying to take out the enemies.
4:16
Duelist are DPS, damage per second.
4:19
They seek out engagement, trying to take out the enemy and are
4:22
usually helping secure. The Strategists are healers.
4:27
They're the ones in the back line trying to heal every
4:29
character that's in front of them and trying not to get hurt
4:35
from the enemy tank who's going after them.
4:39
In the middle we get duelist. Again, duelist.
4:42
In the middle, we get duelist against duelist, but they're
4:44
also able to protect their healers or the tanks do that.
4:49
I obviously have a favorite on each rank for season 0.
4:54
For Duelist it was the Punisher. I spent 37 hours using him and
4:59
learning his mechanics as well as pushing him to become a Lord,
5:02
which is the maximum level he can reach.
5:05
It starts out at Agent, the Knight, Captain, Centurion, and
5:09
finally Lord. After each you get a reward or a
5:13
gift that shows up after you've done damage.
5:16
You get to Lord and you get free bragging rights as your avatar
5:19
now becomes an updated version of your profile picture.
5:24
We just studied 37 hours using him.
5:25
I managed to play 334 matches, 154 wins, 2700 and KO 72,770, KO
5:33
300 and three 353 assists and with a KO streak of 17.
5:43
Also, I should tell you, I'm going to tell you in a minute.
5:46
For Strategist, my favorite started out being Luna Snow.
5:50
The reason for that was because I wanted to get to the mission
5:53
faster and there were a few characters that could run as
5:56
fast as and get me there. I I want to get there as soon as
6:01
possible. Basically Luna would ice skate
6:04
as fast as she could jump and heal the team or free some of
6:07
the enemies. Unfortunately I didn't know what
6:09
it was supposed to do at the time, so every time I would get
6:12
Luna I would get yelled at for not healing my team and just
6:15
continuing to try to hit the enemies.
6:18
So you know my bad. With Luna I spent 8.8 hours
6:22
total on gameplay, played 62 matches, got 28 match wins, 214K
6:27
OS 306 list after finding out what we're supposed to do with
6:31
the healers and my best KO streak with her was a 5.
6:36
Again, I didn't know, so maybe this time around.
6:41
Yeah, this time around is totally different for Vanguards.
6:46
Y'all have seen live streams on YouTube of me playing the game
6:49
and it's usually with Captain America.
6:53
Learning him was a mission. I played 7.4 hours, 6-7 matches.
6:58
Thirty wins, 280 four 85285 KO with 76 assists and my best KO
7:04
streak with him was 8. He too is now a Lord.
7:11
So I've been playing non-stop with those two, Punisher and
7:17
Captain America. And here's what here's the bad
7:21
thing about this. If you're using both Lords
7:25
profile pictures because they you know they're Lords, they
7:29
tells you like they're used different profile pictures and
7:34
you end up losing a game, either the enemy on either the guys on
7:41
the other team or your own team will roast you and ask Lord
7:50
where I don't see it. Listen, I spent a lot of hours
7:58
doing other stuff than comp or quick matches for it to become a
8:04
Lord just because you're still stuck in somewhere in here on
8:10
bronze on somewhere that you're doing and not having that
8:14
profile picture. Or you maybe you do and you just
8:16
want to like make fun of people. But ever since then, I've hidden
8:22
the Lord part. I've given them their old
8:25
profile pictures and nobody said anything.
8:29
But I still use them just in case.
8:31
I still use these two. So these three were my main
8:35
forces Season 0. If someone else picked them
8:39
before I did then I would be try using other characters and try
8:42
to get a feel for them. And they're all around the three
8:44
hour mark with the lowest being the team of cloak and dagger
8:47
with just 5 minutes of game time.
8:50
Keep in mind Cloak and dagger on season 0 with just 5 minutes.
8:54
I didn't have time for to learn about them.
8:56
I just didn't like care about them.
8:58
OK so keep that in mind. 5 minutes, the overall statistic
9:05
for season zero, 76 hours of gameplay, 715 matches, 344 wins,
9:11
4490 K OS, 1359 assists and 17 my best KO streak coming out of
9:19
the Punisher. There is a different variations
9:25
for gameplay and there in order of appearance, but maybe I
9:28
should tell you where to start first if you're a beginner.
9:38
So once you click on the home page and all that stuff, you'll
9:43
see where you want to go 1st and all that stuff, Quick match comp
9:49
and all that stuff. But here's where you go first.
9:51
Practice mode. If you're new to the game, start
9:56
here. Start right here on practice
9:59
mode because you're going to need it.
10:01
If you're not, go ahead and disregard this whole setup and
10:03
just power Fast forward for a few minutes.
10:06
But here, go and practice your heart out for whatever character
10:14
you're playing. Learn about him, feel him out
10:18
see if you vibe with him because I vibe with my guys with my
10:22
people, but feel him out Press buttons all that stuff for
10:29
tutorial. A tutorial tells you how to play
10:32
the game, the characters in the environment, what you need to do
10:36
if you can like shoot off an environment, a wall, what
10:42
buttons to press here a tutorial helps you with the character,
10:47
the buttons you need to press, the waiting time and how their
10:50
ultimate works. Domination tutorial it tell it's
10:55
just when you start out in the game and you start out using a a
11:01
domination or convoy two types of matches.
11:05
So domination tutorial is 2 teams fight each other to hold
11:08
control of a single point in a space called a mission area.
11:11
It is similar to King of the Hill from Team Fortress 2 and
11:15
control from Overwatch 2. And obviously, the this is so
11:21
much like Overwatch. And people will tell you, hey,
11:26
this game feels like Overwatch. Yeah.
11:29
So what you do in this one, in the domination matches, you try
11:36
to take out the other team, and you stand in one spot as king of
11:39
the hill with your team. Convoy Tutorial Convoys A mode
11:45
where one team needs to escort a moving vehicle to the end of the
11:49
map while the opponent's team needs to stop them.
11:52
It is such a pain trying to do these because all your team
12:00
wants to do is shoot the other team is fight.
12:05
The other team is have that streak of having one and O2 and
12:08
O3 and O against the other team while others on the team are
12:13
actually standing on the convoy. Because if you don't stand on
12:17
the convoy, you can't move it. Or, you know, I just tell them,
12:22
hey, touch the convoy, touch the thing, move it up, move it up.
12:26
Some of them listen, some of them don't.
12:30
I, I asked a question earlier in the socials about how they feel
12:37
about that. Let me get that real quick.
12:42
Shoot do win and losses matter on this game It and I said it
12:50
really doesn't. I had a hot guy on my team last
12:53
night we're doing the Spyder car and because we were dying he
12:57
called us a trash team is when I told him he's more trash than us
13:01
since he can't get the job done. Then for teeth to tell me he's
13:05
17 and three while I'm at 4:00 and 9:00 and I'm trying to push
13:09
the car. He says he's carrying this team.
13:12
I told him he can carry these. I told him his dad don't matter
13:16
and the only thing he's carrying is a scared game of hiding and
13:18
hitting everyone. I'm not touching the car because
13:22
at the end of the day, what's the objective?
13:24
Touch the car? How hard is it to do?
13:29
Then I went and asked. But do win loss records matters
13:31
to y'all when the objective is to push the car or the coats
13:34
that are on the cart. Two people answered.
13:40
The surrounding beauty says literally this.
13:42
Like yes thanks for hitting the enemies but you need to be able
13:46
to also push. If you have three people on it,
13:48
move faster. And I've been in plays where I'm
13:52
the only one on it 80% of the time while the rest of the team
13:54
is God knows where which is fine but please get on it so I can
13:58
walk faster. It isn't about the kills, it's
14:01
about how you play with the character on your team and
14:03
people can understand that because I've also seen some
14:06
crazy plays with teammates that I wouldn't think we're possible.
14:10
Oral hardware store says instalock DPS 1 trick here.
14:14
I think everyone should take the time to learn the roles of their
14:16
character before engaging in any back and forth.
14:19
The truth is team comp doesn't matter if you're functional at
14:22
your chosen hero. Contrary to what some might
14:25
think. I've queued with friends that
14:27
are bronze. I'm currently gold Same playing
14:31
five damage one support and we've won just fine.
14:34
Sometimes playing with you good at with coms is all you need.
14:38
That said, the biggest mistake I see in solo queue is players
14:42
backing off the cart during overtime at the very end of a
14:45
match. And I'll type out preemptively
14:48
don't leave the point and they just walk off.
14:53
I was going to blank die. Yeah I know, but the whole team
14:57
is right behind you. But sink outside yourself.
15:02
I love the fact that I can ask ask these questions and I can
15:05
get some answers. There's a bunch of funny stuff
15:09
out there. The fandom is amazing.
15:12
Like, for there was last month, there was Squirrel Appreciation
15:18
Day, and they just, like, posted pictures of Squirrel Girl.
15:25
Yeah. Like, what is that?
15:30
It is so hilarious. It is so fun.
15:34
Sometimes the fandom can get toxic with racism and other
15:38
kinds of crazy stuff, but at the end of the day, it is, it's
15:43
awesome to see people, you know, work out their stuff, Even the
15:47
racism, like people get reported and all that shit.
15:50
So like, I saw someone on another site say that this
15:53
person's name was racist and so they banned them and they did.
16:00
Yeah. What fandom doesn't isn't toxic.
16:02
It's true. Star Wars MCU wrestling, it's
16:08
true and you know when I say wrestling, you know y'all know
16:13
y'all know who you are. And finally, practice range,
16:18
free range. Go on and use your character to
16:20
battle all the dummies and use your ultimate as well as team of
16:23
abilities. There's also practice versus AI.
16:27
After you've done a tutorial, head over here and select either
16:29
the stars to protect practice against an AI version of
16:32
character. One star is the easiest, two
16:34
stars at medium, and three stars is the hardest.
16:39
If you're not new to the game, then head on over to the nitty
16:42
gritty. The war zones.
16:45
I think I asked another question also.
16:48
Oh yeah, that one. Just wait, give me a minute.
16:54
The ward loans are quick matches when you just want a 5 minute
16:58
matchup against an enemy team. There's a theory that some of
17:01
these teams are up against our bots to help you give you a
17:03
boost of ego because you've lost in competitive mode and
17:09
competitive mode is Jesus. This is that's where the
17:14
toxicity comes in. This is where you want to test
17:16
how good you actually are against the best of the best.
17:19
Here you rank up to win special prizes or just bragging rights.
17:26
You start off in bronze. Everyone starts here as a dead
17:29
zone because all the newbies are here and are scrapping to get
17:33
out of here if you're an OG, and because UBG ranked to the bottom
17:38
like I did. This is what hell looks like.
17:41
I was in hell for maybe a week or two because I decided hey,
17:47
let me keep playing. Let me keep playing and losing,
17:49
playing and losing, playing and losing and then going back to
17:52
the bottom of bronze. And then I get told like, yeah,
17:54
dude, just take a break after you're done like three matches,
17:58
you lost three matches in a row. Take a break.
18:00
Calm down. Because then you're get put in a
18:03
loser's bracket position and the AI thinks you're losing.
18:07
You're you're you keep losing. So I'm going to put you with all
18:12
these other losers and you're just going to keep losing and
18:16
losing and losing. And I did that.
18:17
I the entire, my entire history is just VVVV and then nothing
18:24
but defeat at the very end where I'm back to Bronze 3 and Bronze
18:29
3 thrown. Let me tell you, it was hell to
18:32
get out of because nobody wants to listen.
18:35
They're all new people. They're all like sitting there
18:39
like one person goes right, the other three other people go
18:45
left. One person, one healer goes
18:49
straight and like there's one of them had ends up getting killed
18:56
in the in the middle. So he has to start over at the
19:00
spawn and then the other one that went right gets killed, so
19:04
he has to start over to spawn. And then the other three that I
19:07
went to the left are like still there, but you know, and once
19:12
the other two are catching up, they get killed off.
19:15
And so it's like, oh shit. So now they're staggering.
19:18
I used to stagger a lot. And then once I realized, OK, no
19:21
more staggering. Wait for your team and go in
19:24
there together. That's when you realize, oh
19:27
shit, let's let's do it together.
19:29
But nobody wants to do that because they're new.
19:31
And they're like, let me do what I want to do.
19:36
If you're an OG, though, you already know what to do.
19:38
Like, yeah, you went down or you're starting up with a new
19:42
character. You have a new, new system.
19:47
So you start off with a new character and you go up there
19:50
and you start telling these people, hey, this is what we're
19:53
going to do, OK? We're going to go together as a
19:56
team and we're going to get there.
19:57
And then nobody listens to you. It's a bunch of new people just
20:04
thinking what's best for them. So they they don't listen to
20:08
ideas or skills, they just do whatever.
20:11
That's what this bronze from 3 to one is.
20:15
Silver 3 to one, you're away from bronze.
20:18
You are starting to listen to your teams.
20:21
You are starting to grasp the idea and concept of what a tank
20:24
or a DBS or a healer does. And this is where you finally
20:27
learn how to work together together together as a team.
20:33
You wait for your teammate as soon as they're dead or you just
20:36
like, all right, should I wait or should I go go over there,
20:40
get yourself beat up and everything, go back to spawning
20:43
and wait there with your team and then go in there together.
20:48
Silver from silver 3 to one. It is ridiculous.
20:53
Is everybody sort of trying to like get up there again and go
21:00
back to gold? Because gold is where a free
21:04
skin is of of another character? I got here in season 1 finally
21:09
twice. Like I said, I deranked and then
21:14
I clad my way up to gold again. I am at gold again.
21:18
I am sitting here for a little while.
21:20
I'm not playing anymore. I'm just like, OK, let me let me
21:23
chill. But here you get a free skin for
21:26
a character. This season is Miss what?
21:32
No Sue Storm, Invisible Woman. She has a new skin is called I
21:41
don't know what it's called but it has to do with something
21:43
blood and her hair is reddish and all that stuff and like her
21:47
skins have been crazy the past few times.
21:51
Malice look up malice shoe store.
21:54
Malice is wow. And then they for Valentine's
21:58
Day, they just added read her husband Reed and Sue Storm
22:07
getting married. One of them has the bride dress.
22:11
He has, well, she has the bride dress and he has the tuxedo.
22:14
And you know, they're getting married.
22:17
It's like, OK, it's been 60 years.
22:19
There's, there's 60 year anniversary of when the
22:22
characters first started. So in goal, you have the
22:29
opportunity to earn a free character skin for the season,
22:31
which is that. And then you get to listen to
22:34
your team and try not to get the rank from here and out.
22:37
And you can even grab a microphone and hang out with
22:39
them and just, you know, talk strategies and stuff because
22:43
that's what you're going to have to do from here on out from
22:45
gold, because then you get to platinum, diamond and those two
22:51
just you're there, you're almost there.
22:54
You're almost at the you have bragging rights for all that
23:03
after diamond, you get the grandmaster and when you get a
23:06
silver Crest of honor and the free skin, obviously you finally
23:09
earn the silver Crest of honor, which is the bragging rights
23:12
that you're a grandmaster. You can put it on your name
23:14
plate. What this means that you can
23:16
start your own YouTube channel and give everyone tips and
23:18
tricks on how you got here and what characters you use because
23:21
that's all there is on my YouTube algorithm.
23:25
Nothing. But hey, here's some advice from
23:28
a grandmaster or celestial or eternity and there's one above
23:35
all. So after grandmaster he gets
23:37
less to eternity and then the big kahuna one above all that is
23:42
a gold Crest of honor and the free scan.
23:44
Obviously the gold Crest of honor is the be all end all.
23:48
You finally made it. You are the one above all.
23:50
If you can stay like this for the rest of the season, it means
23:52
you are above everyone else. And also one of the best
23:56
Dreamers on Twitch ever, because all the Twitch streamers are the
24:01
ones playing this game. And, you know, the console
24:05
people are just like, oh shit, you know, whatever.
24:08
But the Twitch streamers are the ones that are like, putting
24:10
their stuff out there. Yeah, strategies and everything.
24:18
So those are the competition modes and how to get those?
24:25
I know that in Celestial Eternity and the one above all
24:29
or Grandmaster maybe well dot Grandmaster Celestial Eternity,
24:35
you get to ban 2 characters from the game that nobody else can
24:39
use on the on the opposite team and the opposite team gets to
24:44
ban 2 characters that can. They can't use either.
24:48
So it's usually the team that are annoying or it's usually the
24:51
team people that like look at other people stats and realize,
24:56
oh he's good with this character, he's good with this
24:58
character. So let me ban this character
25:00
from him so he won't have to use it.
25:03
This is why it's good to use other characters and become
25:05
better with them as well because like hey, you can't use Captain
25:09
America. I have Punisher, there are two
25:12
of my Lords. And then I have another one,
25:14
Luna, but she's a healer. So it's like, yeah, I'll use
25:18
her. I don't mind.
25:19
It's OK. And then one above all, it goes
25:24
down, it goes up to three now, like you can ban 3 characters
25:28
and it's really a pain in the ass because now three of your
25:33
main characters you can't use anymore.
25:35
And here you are trying to use them.
25:38
So that's that's that's that's pretty much sucks for you.
25:44
So another that that's all they had for the for the modes.
25:51
Conquest is formerly pocket universe is a standard team
25:56
deathmatch mode in which players try to score as many elimination
26:00
as possible while also try not to die to deny their opponent
26:03
additional point. Team don't get points or killed,
26:06
but instead enemies drop coins after that that give points to
26:09
the opposing team. These points become more
26:12
valuable over time. A-Team can win by either scoring
26:15
50 points or by scoring more points and the opposing team
26:17
before time runs out. Conquest is available in a
26:22
separate playlist and can be played in standard Quick Match
26:26
or Competitive. And then we have Doom Match.
26:30
It's the New York 8 addition to Marvel Rivals, introduced with
26:33
the start of Season 1. Eternal Night Falls is a
26:36
standard 8 to 12 players as FA Free for All Death match where
26:44
players must eliminate 16 opponents are scored on most
26:47
points before time runs out. The top 50 player 50% of player.
26:51
The top 50% of players will win. Top one player will be crowned
26:54
MVP. Instead of showing the current
26:57
team at the end of the match, the top six players will be
26:59
displayed instead. Do Match isn't available in a
27:03
separate playlist and cannot be played in Standard, Quick Match,
27:05
or Competitive. It can also be played while
27:08
queued for other modes. And finally, you have a custom
27:12
game that you can create. Here you can go and familiarize
27:15
yourself with any of the maps by yourself.
27:20
You know, search around, look for places where your character
27:24
can like utilize or shoot off or look for all the health packs.
27:32
You can play it by yourself or any bot or if you want to just
27:35
practice by yourself or with your team, either by selecting a
27:38
private mode or just playing it. So those are it.
27:42
Those are the best things on there.
27:45
Since I told you about season 0 and how it went for me, let me
27:48
tell you how it's going for me. In season one 138.2 hours
27:52
played, 940 matches, 409 wins, 7377 K OS, 2521 assists and the
28:02
best KO streak up was up to 21 from the character Black
28:08
Panther. For this season I'm still using
28:11
Captain America and Punishers, my mains and are now Lords but
28:14
I'm putting them on the sidelines until I need them.
28:19
I'm using other characters but if I really want to play this
28:22
out and I really want to mess with the other team I'll use my
28:25
2 Lords, Captain America and Punisher and they just get mad
28:29
but like why? Why are you so good at these?
28:33
For Vanguard, Captain America is my number one with 47 hours, 47
28:37
hours played, 277 matches, 116 wins, 1886 K OS and 258 assists.
28:46
My number 2 tank is Penny who is at 5.3 hours, 33 matches played
28:51
with fifteen wins and 306 K OS. For duelist.
28:55
I'm still using Punisher as my backup. 27.5 hours played, 171
29:00
matches with seventy wins, 1719 K OS and 83 assists.
29:05
My number two duelist is Squirrel Girl who throws walnuts
29:08
everybody and has an ultimate of her first girlfriends running at
29:12
everyone and clawing their way at them.
29:15
She's so fun. I'm telling you, she's she's
29:18
just the funnest. You know, International Squirrel
29:22
Day was really awesome and I really love that she was part of
29:26
it. With her it is 8.2 hours, 54
29:30
matches played with twenty wins, 462 K OS and 145 assists.
29:35
And finally for strategy for strategist, I'm still using
29:38
Lunas now because we fast, but I've been up meeting with Cloak
29:42
and Dagger. And there it is with Luna.
29:46
I've played seven hours, 48 matches, 23 wins, 287 Kos and
29:50
244 assists with Cloak and Dagger.
29:54
So far I've done 4.1 hours, 28 matches, ten wins and 255 Kos
30:00
with 175 assists. I'm currently at level 58.
30:05
The the the not not the characters but the account as
30:14
level 58 and so far I've done 214 hours gameplay, 1655
30:21
matches, 753 wins with 11,867 Kos and 3880 assists.
30:31
Am I investing in this game so much?
30:33
I am. Is it bad?
30:35
It's not I love the fandom so much.
30:38
I don't. I already said this, I think.
30:40
Yeah. Have I said this already that I
30:41
love the fandom? Because I do.
30:43
I love the fandom so much, from cosplays of Squirrel Girl to
30:47
Luna Snow. And there's even talk about a
30:49
group of cosplay, a cosplay group from a friend of mine on
30:52
Twitter in the next few months at a comic book convention.
30:56
I'm in so invested. I'm telling you, I'm so invested
30:58
in this. I've been seeing a lot of edits
31:01
on YouTube, lots of tips and tricks on what to do, a lot of
31:04
funny videos from the community where Twitch streamers are
31:06
openly yelling and screaming because they died by either
31:10
Spider Man, Iron Fist, and our Scarlet Witch.
31:15
They are, they're just, they're so annoying, especially a spider
31:20
man and Iron Fist. This season alone has been fun
31:26
and I can't wait to talk about the rest of the season once it's
31:29
over. I'm missing a lot of stuff
31:31
because last season there was a four way Jeff the Shark mini
31:34
game and this season it was some kind of soccer between 3
31:36
characters and yeah so I'm missing some stuff.
31:42
Since I can't be talking about the game once a week.
31:44
Here's what I want to do. Every time there's a new season
31:46
I would talk about how my experience was and how the
31:49
gameplay was on during that whole season.
31:53
How many times I ranked up or deranked because I will be the
31:56
ranking. I know that and what made me
31:58
happy or mad about it. The second-half of the season
32:02
starts in the few days the 21st. So far this season alone we got
32:06
2 new characters, Reed Richards and Sue Storm from the Fantastic
32:10
Four with Dracula's the main villain.
32:12
You guys know that already. Reed Richards and Sue Storm,
32:16
they gave us the skin of them getting married.
32:19
But in the few days on the 21st we're getting, we're getting
32:22
Johnny Storm and the Sing to complete the Fantastic Four and
32:26
possibly new characters. So I may be talking a lot about
32:29
that in the next coming weeks. So stay tuned for that.
32:35
Yeah, that's that's I think that's about it for that.
32:38
The for Marvel rival stuff. It was awesome.
32:42
Oh, no, wait, wait, wait, wait. There's another question I
32:46
asked. Does anyone get gamer PTSD?
32:50
And I told the story because, you know, it happened.
32:53
It was just crazy. I was at Walmart getting
32:57
groceries from curbside pickup and usually takes a while, so I
33:00
took a short nap. I got, I guess, you know, I
33:04
closed my eyes, like, OK, cool. I woke myself up with a jump
33:09
because, you know, I thought I was playing the game.
33:13
Like, hey, what the hell? I looked around and I'm laughing
33:18
because it never happened like that before.
33:20
And the reason I jumped was because I thought I was playing
33:22
Captain America. I was dreaming that I was
33:25
playing the game and was doing a leap jump and I just felt like,
33:28
oh shit, it's been years. Basically the reason I got PTSD.
33:34
It's been years since Sephiroth. Y'all know who Sephiroth is?
33:37
If you don't go check out Final Fantasy.
33:42
The biggest freaking villain in any game that I've ever
33:47
experienced. He has his own theme music.
33:49
It is the most amazing music ever, but I still have visions
33:53
of me fighting him and hearing that music in my head.
33:56
So I asked if anybody ever get those and I got 1 answer from
34:02
the sexy idiot who says that it takes so much time grinding and
34:07
doing very specific thing for me to get those dreams.
34:10
And I can only get them when I'm sleeping in a way that makes me
34:13
feel like I'm still awake the whole time.
34:16
So yes, that's fun. Yeah, we talked about all that
34:24
stuff. I also said to him back in gold,
34:28
I lost all the games. I'm back on gold and wish me
34:32
luck in the next few matches. Our hardware store says.
34:35
Hate to be the one to drop this, but bronze literally has dozens
34:38
of Smurfs at any given time as well.
34:41
I ladder climb with a group of guys that make ultimate accounts
34:43
to climb from bronze to Platt twice a week.
34:45
So when I say bronze is harder than gold, I mean it for that
34:48
reason. It's true, it's true, it's true.
34:51
It's really crazy. I asked everybody who their
34:59
mains wear Punisher and Captain, Our Lord.
35:04
Next one I want to do is Luna, but it's taking forever now.
35:06
Squirrel Girl, Cloak and Dagger. Mr. Fantastic, Thunder Rain
35:10
says. I pretty much exclusively play
35:12
Moon Knight, but he's Taken. I've played Mr. Fantastic or
35:15
Magneto Pixelate says yo fella. Moon night main, sort of.
35:19
He's my backup but I play him against friends and training.
35:22
Blueberry Rock Same but he's taking on mostly go with Jeff
35:26
and then Cloak and Dagger. Sexy idiot, says Mantis, Rocket,
35:32
Luna and Punisher. Fixelate says Psyloc, Cloak and
35:37
dagger and Penny. Moon night and lunar backups.
35:40
Cry for Anne says love playing Loki up and getting into Spider
35:45
Man, C&D and Moonlight lately or a hardware stores says magic.
35:49
I am the magic man Sad sad. Around me is Star Lord or Cloak
35:56
and Dagger. The surrounding beauty says this
35:58
is invisible, but I go back and forth with Mr. Fantastic Moon
36:02
Night as Squirrel Girl, Punisher and the more C&D cloak and
36:06
dagger. Mostly because you never know.
36:08
But I want to learn Magneto so bad.
36:10
Cinder is bored. I'm a chronic side like a man
36:13
but I also play Cloak and dagger in the snow, Hell, hellion
36:18
heart. I was a Jeff Mane the shark
36:21
which we all know he's annoying now.
36:27
Invisible woman with a bit of penny.
36:29
Haven't found the perfect DPS for me yet but I'm forced to
36:31
play duelist. I usually get Scarlet witch,
36:35
very tragically unknown since I mainly play mag Magneto since
36:40
nobody really likes tank. Otherwise it's raccoon.
36:43
Do I have Lord for C&D due to comp or namora and Winter
36:46
Soldier solo Avengers says Adam warlock, Hawkeye, Winter
36:51
Soldier, Iron Man, recently, Thor, maybe penny Parker.
36:56
Apple says Penny for tanks, squirrel girl and moonlight for
36:58
DPS and Jeff or Mantis for healer.
37:00
Greedbun says I've been playing for a lot Luna lately but also
37:04
mantis group Penny and squirrel girl and loving Lily says cloak
37:08
and dagger Lord and the more centurion.
37:10
Depends how the game's going. Oh man.
37:14
And then of course, all the all the other stuff that are there a
37:23
bunch of edits, a bunch of people doing gifts of all their
37:28
toe characters and stuff. It is so awesome.
37:31
I love this fandom so far. And yeah, well, that's that's it
37:39
for Marvel Rivals. Before I go, I want to get this
37:46
out of the way because I want to start something new this week
37:48
and moving forward. March is always about March
37:51
Madness. So early in the month I asked
37:54
the M3P community about their favorite Disney movie.
37:57
I got a lot of responses that I divided them into animated
38:00
movies and live action and made a bracket.
38:02
The boats are in for the animated version of bracket.
38:05
Will I make a new one for the live action?
38:07
So don't forget to vote this week when you received a
38:09
newsletter or ask me for the link and I will send it to you.
38:13
All right, so in the first round, Snow White beat the
38:17
Aristocats, The Little Mermaid beat the Princess and the Frog,
38:21
The Frog Frag The Princess and the Frog, A Goofy Movie beat
38:25
Peter Pan. Finding Nemo beat A Bug's life
38:29
beating the Beast beat Coco. Jungle Book beat Cinderella.
38:32
The Lion King beat Elemental. The Inside Out beat Frozen 2.
38:35
Frozen beat Zootopia, Monsters Inc beat I Was in Wonderland,
38:40
and 101 Dalmatians beat The Rescue Down Under.
38:46
Why nobody like rescues Down Under?
38:48
That's my favorite movie. That's one of my favorites.
38:50
I like that better than The Rescuers.
38:52
Bray beat Sleeping Beauty and Encanto beat Aladdin.
38:56
And then we have 3 three-way ties, 3 two way ties, 33 ties,
39:03
The Incredibles and Luca are tied, Toy Story and Little and
39:09
Stitcher tied, and Fox in the Hound versus Moana are tied.
39:13
So that means I have to choose one of them to advance and
39:15
you're going to have to wait and see for the next one.
39:17
As well as a live action Disney movie bracket to find out who
39:23
advances. But seriously though, being the
39:31
BSB Coco, come on. Frozen beats Utopia a 101
39:46
Dalmatians. Really.
39:47
You like dogs that much? I get brave beating sleeping.
39:51
Really. OK, Can Canto beat Aladdin?
39:53
That's great. The Incredibles and Luke are
39:55
tight. OK.
39:57
Anyways, yeah, thank you for that.
40:01
Thank you whoever voted. You guys are awesome.
