    I found this interesting and went to check the French version: "no time to lose". Now I'm puzzled.

    Very interesting. In the German version: "eyes open!", which I suppose is just the literal way to translate "Look Sharp" (most of the German translations tend to miss the puns / references, e.g. "Thick as Thieves" = "Dumb Thieves").
    The Italian one says "In guardia", that is "en garde" in French and "On (your) guard" in English.
    ..and it has nothing in common with the other translation icon_lol.gif

    En garde? Man that sounds like nightcrawler to me. That would be wunderbar icon_e_smile.gif

    En Guard makes me think of Fandral. That's my guess.

    Did you actually come across that in the game? I was surprised not to see him showing up more often while bugged, but I fight primarily at the 4*-5* level.

    That was a facetious comment. You could tell, because maybe 85% of my comments are gently poking fun at something or other.

    But to answer your question, since he was known to be bugged I've seen him once, and that was in Simulator. I don't think that many players were aware of the bug. I do think that the small subset (a couple of hundred?) that read the forum are almost all past the stage where they would choose to use him. Or newish players who couldn't choose him at all.

    I didn't see more Vision but I did see a notable uptick of Elektra in PVP. I thought it was over the weekend but might have been the Thor PVP event where I believe she was boosted.

    I'm someone who has had a championed Vision for months, and tried the bugged version with Patch -- the results were ghastly.

    "Look Sharp" ...

    I'm ignoring the probability (in order) of either Nightcrawler, Uncanny X-Force Psylocke, or Kate Bishop Hawkeye... and INSISTING this is a double entendre.

    One one hand, we are getting a character who is stylish and well-dressed. On the other, what flower is covered in sharp thorns?

    En garde / pair of knives - fighting with blades
    look sharp / eyes open - camuflage, problems with being spotted
    no time to lose - teleportation

    This really could be Nightcrawler! Finally!!!

    wait, is the Vision bug fixed? As a semi-regular Vision user even unbugged, I had an absolute field day over the last few days, so I'll be sad to see the end of it.

    BugVis + Fistbuster was a beast during the Iron Fist PVP - cascades of over 1300 a match? Yes please. What's that Luke Cage? You're shielding? Oh, that's cute...dead

    The most obvious blade users are in the game already: Blade, Psylocke, Deadpool

    Nightcrawler used various rapiers and swords and would be nice

    Cloak & Dagger would be a sharp dressed pair of knives

    Cable also uses swords and daggers from time to time

    Raza from the Starjammers also uses a sword but seems too obscure to me

    Black Knight uses a sword but is also obscure

    Sharp claws like Sabretooth's could also be possible but wouldn't work with the dagger hint imho...meh, I'm clueless atm

    Double ISO? Hah, its barely normal ISO compared to shorter events... but nice start.
    Shame that more ISO is considered and something special - its should be normal that we get more ISO after 4* covers turned from super rare to super common.

    I wish Black Knight, but I know it won't happen icon_neutral.gif

    also Shatterstar uses blades. Taskmaster. Sif. Fandral.

    Oh, and Spiral, she uses lots of blades icon_lol.gif

    You are right! Why I didn't think about it...
    All clues suit: blades, eyes open, teleportation...

    But we have already 4* Deadpool, so this one would 5*!!!

    Can't speak for his yellow (because IM40's yellow gets the AP), but Vision's blue is still boosting damage for the entire team, not just Vision.

    Not that I'm complaining icon_e_wink.gif

    It's gotta be a 4* psylocke, right? Corresponding with the new X-Men movie in which she figures prominently?

    I'd love a 4* Uncanny X-Force Psylocke as:

    1) 3* Psylocke is very disappointing.
    2) I'm a big fan of Rick Remender's run on 'Uncanny X-Force.'
    3) We already have Wolverine and Deadpool from that team.
    4) Getting another member moves us that much closer to getting Fantomex, Archangel, and AoA Nightcrawler.

    But this is probably classic Nightcrawler. But if it IS Uncanny X-Force Nightcrawler, because they want to develop that team in-game, and because it'd be the Age of Apocalypse version as a result (the timing of the movie maybe helps?), that means we can count on one of his moves being "Shark!" ... which I can only imagine is a countdown tile that, upon going off, insta-kills you if you're below a certain percentage health.

    Would be neat, but this game doesn't acknowledge the Fox movies. At least they wouldn't do anything to promote it. Which is kinda a shame, fighting Apocalypse and his Four Horsemen would make a neat boss event.

    Except when they ran the Deadpool event when the movie was opening. But other than that, yeah, no Fox.

    Yeah, they turned a whole month of MPQ over to Deadpool when his movie came out in February!
