R134 Release Notes *Updated (8/29/17)

Stick

I'm sad about that R&G countdown turning into a repeater. I really enjoyed running him with C4rol. Oh well.

Inhumans theater release is September 1

The unmovable Juggernaut would be useful in a tug of war.

I'd love Lockjaw but isn't the Inhumans show still months away? Now that it's been mentioned, and without spoiling anything, I know the exact scene in Defenders that could imply this is Jessica Jones.

Inhumans hits IMAX Sept 1st.

Generally releases are every two weeks, which would put a release Sept 7th, but the time between 5*s is sometimes closer to 5 weeks, which means they might skip a week (putting a release August 31st).

Either way, seems like a solid time to do an Inhumans release if they're going to (in order to push the IMAX connection, at least).

For all those guessing Lockjaw, the clue is not Pug of War

Joe Fixit?

Idfk.

There's a lot of people "guessing" Lockjaw, or rather simply posting Lockjaw without even trying to provide some supporting evidence for their claim. So, I guess there's a pretty good chance it's Lockjaw and these people have seen evidence elsewhere.

As for the clue - these haven't been literal (remember the eight sided stop sign?), so although a tug of war champion would be quite strong and/or immoveable, it doesn't necessarily mean that this clue represents Colossus or Juggernaut, or Blob.

In Tug of War, the person at the end of each team is referred to as the Anchor. So I think that's the meta-clue that we want to use. Now, Lockjaw is a pretty good fit for the clue Anchor, since he's kind of the Anchor for the Inhumans team.

I'll throw out a secondary guess for Namor, via the word association of anchor to ocean.

"Tug of War"

Obviously, it's Sos the Rope

Or maybe Dazzler.

Because I've gone all day without posting something stupid, I'll guess it's a lazy, dual character version of 1* Venom and 1* Yelena combined, with a third color added to allow them to switch back and forth, al la Cloak & Dagger.

I think it's because he is a dog and the tug of war is a popular game with dogs.

I actually know that reference, does that make me a bad person?

It depends on how many Xanth novels you read...

I'm OK with all this and all but I don't understand this part:
"but differ in that they return to the base number instead of being destroyed"
Elaborate?

The powers listed currently cause the tile to be destroyed, then refreshed in the same place on the board (which means no possibility of a board match from the mini-cascade).

So you can't get these tiles away?
You match them and they come back? Forever?

It's like the live version, but the coding is a little different. No change for the player, other than those powers that target a CD will not target this. Everything else is the same from the player's point of view. 

Straycat

Thats the complete list? I feel like 3* Hawkguy should be on there. That list seems to be people who target any specials, so Hawkguys passive should count. Also think Kingpin should be able to poke a repeater tile, but that is more of a change than an omission from the list

I think Wasp would be the natural replacement for R&G.  I suspect she'll be slotting in beside C4rol a lot more often now.

CrookedKnight

Agree that Kingpin should be able to use Wilson's Gambit on repeaters -- other powers that clear countdowns seem to work with these too, so it would be consistent (plus, hasn't he suffered enough?) 

I'll miss the Carol + one-turn repeating countdown power combo, but I won't miss fighting an enemy Carol who gets Nightstalker, Flame Jet, etc., as a team-up. And that combo was hella broken, so I can't begrudge the nerf.
