    Yep, Deadpool already. The idea here is that he's still pretty new, so we can see how players do when most *don't* have a character covered.

    Question - if I don't bother taking my now 2-1-1 XPool (Thanks, Thick as Thieves Legendary!) into the matchup at all because I know the odds and don't want to bother/waste boosts, is that something the devs will see in the data and take into account? Overall participation rate? Or will the data only really look at people who throw themselves at the wall and bounce off?
    Yep, definitely. We probably won't dig so deep that we'll be looking at individual players in that kind of detail, but comparative engagement of the node itself is definitely something we look at.

    Sigh. I hate to be critical here, as I know that you need the hard data that arguably can't be obtained in any other way... but to me, this basically equates to "we're giving the lucky people with well-covered Xpools a Legendary in exchange for their helping us determine how many of you can't play this node". Alrighty, then.... icon_neutral.gif

    While Im a huge fan of the Jim Lee/Capcom Cyclops, I was kind of hoping the new Cyclops would be the teen version, because I like those costumes even more. icon_e_sad.gif

    The 2* Cyclops, oft bandied about here, was to be the All-New X-Men young Scott but we flipped him out in favor of some 4* Jim Lee goodness. He's shelved for now, but could easily pop up again in the future.

    Waaay off topic, but the phrase, "pop up again in the future" got me thinking.

    Could you please give us a playable "Hand" ninja?

    I would LOVE the opportunity to get some revenge for the many times I've faced those so-and-sos in the form of screwing with other teams ala, "You may have killed me, but now I'm still killing you!" icon_e_wink.gificon_lol.gif

    Sounds like that would be a perfect ability for Nitro.

    I'd love to still see him added someday! I really liked the design of his moves (on the version discovered way back when the spoilers flowed as freely as bourbon in Kentucky) and think there'd definitely be a place in this game for all 3 Cyclopii.

    Certainly possible. After our next upcoming X-Men releases in the pipe though, we're planning on taking a bit of a hiatus from the family. Been an X (and FF) rush lately.

    So, Ice, I'm a bir confused about the upcoming pvp's and end of season. Will Shulk be the last pvp of this season, and not Deadpool? Or is the in-game countdown for season 19 off?

    The in-game timer is correct.

    Thanks for the clarification.
    Does that mean that Colossus and Deadpool are offseason pvp's? Or do the anniversary pvp's start after season end?
