    I think a really big think to keep in mind is that all her powers are AoE. So whilst they may not be overly over the top, they may still be strong, a la Carnage red level or KK green. This also plays into helping deal with an invisible chuck as he is susceptible to all of her moves.
  • Soo Jean Grey is the reason at no bothering anymore with Scarlet Witch in pvp I guess...

    I imagined it more like a production line.

    Dear Devs,

    I think All New X-Men version of Jean Grey is a great choice. In the comics she is a wonderful tribute to nostalgia, but with a fresh take on the character. While I'm disappointed that there will not be an Ant-Man style release, the character herself is great.

    Agreed -- what a fantastic story arc she's had in what's been one of Marvel's best books of the past few years. Her moves look interesting, and I think this is some of their best in-game character art in awhile. Good job all around!!

    (Now, please bring out All-New Cyclops as well!)
  • Slow down with the releases (and fix some characters)! I've been playing for about 20 days and there's already been a flood of new characters and 2 4-stars.

    I actually like her abilities but I have this feeling she's going to end up OP and nerfed. icon_lol.gif

    Who do we turn to when the spoiler and the source both want to be lazy? I've just had my caffeine and am ready to either trash talk or gush over Teen Jean.

    Turul/IceIX, please!?

    I dont have the exact numbers for the abilities, so I cant tell much more than the interview, unfortunatelly.

    Maybe if you make some up, it'll spur some corrective action... icon_twisted.gif
  • So it looks like Professor X won't get a nerf, simply he gets a counter.

    Perhaps the way to go now is less nerfs, more counters?

    The trend seems to be indirect nerfs or nerfs hidden under other information such as:
    - The Health Buffs to 95% of the characters leaving Loki, Hood, OBW, and CStorm behind
    - "Character changes" to IW, Beast, She Hulk and Doc Oct tried to hide XForce's nerf
    - The nerf to Steve Rogers' face was hidden under "What's got better" on the new patch R80.

    if it means any more 2* characters or low tier characters are spared nerfs, sounds good to me

    I actually like this because as long as everything has a counter, it will make people use different characters depending on situation.

    For example if you see a Dr Oct, you're probably a lot less likely to take falcon or 1/3 star storm or even daken, as that could easily be a death sentence... Aside Doc Oct the only other counters to large special tile users are Moonstone, Ant Man, Squirrel Girl and Daredevil. Thing is right now there aren't many counter trap tile guys or counter countdown timer people... Hence why OBW still remains an insanely powerful counter to countdown timer people.

    We saw they were looking at counters as soon as they release hulkbuster as he was designed to counter Hulk...

    On a side note, is it me or does the artist impression of Jean here makes her look like a little girl?!?!

  • On a side note, is it me or does the artist impression of Jean here makes her look like a little girl?!?!

    She's high school age, tops. It's Jean Grey at her age when she debuted in X-men #1 in the 60s. The artist actually did a good job of matching how she's been depicted in the comics, IMO.

    She's not just a counter to profx, remember all those people complaining about crazy cascades? the AI gets 5 matches all the time, often by accident.


    Not really. The A.I. gets multiple 3 matches.

    The best part of this is you can set the A.I. up forcing it to take a 5 match.

    Pair her with Loki and one 5 tile match could effectively end the game.

          Does this looks right? Her colors, I dont know which are the 10 and the 11 by the end, but because yellow starts at 8 I think its her weakest?
