It’s so dope, his sword broke into pieces that got lodged into his fists! Using Shaou Laou’s chi he can combine the shards to manifest the blade for battle. While at first I was a little disappointed at Danny refusing to take back the mantle, Lin’s definitely grown on me.

I was hopeful they were gonna do some Hawkeye/Kate Bishop thing, but after Lin agrees to accept Danny as a mentor sometime later the creature that kills every Iron Fist past a certain age gets to him *GASP* fuck that was a lot 😂😂😂 oh and before someone even things about it ☝️🤓
@enter4none Thats the only thing that makes sense to me, cause his fist animation are already made, doubt there would be sword animations. Like you said, the dragon effects could be relpaced with swords.
I love danny but he is represents iron fist in every other thing he appears in. It’s awsome to finnaly see lin get to shine. I also live that the sword shards assemble into a blade when using one of his abilities just like in the comics.
Lin Lie's backstory is that his sword shattered and the shards were embedded into his hands under the bandages. He also encountered Shao Lao who gave him the Iron Fist
Ngl Danny’s been around for 50 years and I say he deserves to be the main iron fist and Lin lie should have been the skin for new marvel fans, but hey I’m just glad iron fist is still gonna be in a game, he’s hella underrated.
Given how characters are grouped by worlds of origin in the game, Danny would need to be assigned to either new york or Kun Lung. Given that both are important to Danny, that's a hard choice to make. Lin Lee being Iorn Fist in this timeline makes the story simpler, and leaves Danny open as an alternate skin. Also I really like when character like Lin Lee get to appear outside of the C-team crossover event tie-in comics.
Not gonna lie his gameplay being a counter to flying enemies is dope, so many characters can fly, so he's a must on the team because there will always be some annoying flying character that needs to be stopped.
@@yupyup2347 Spiderman can do it too but Ironfirst just keeps following around with his kicks and punches until he kills because he kind of floats himself and has triple jump and he can parry attacks so shooting him in close range while you're flying and he's in your face is a big no no. We'll know for sure when the game is out but from what I've seen he's real good at catching up to flying targets and making them feel powerless.
Would have prefer the Danny skin but this is alright. HOWEVER I question how this would work because we clearly see a sword there. The easiest thing to do is just not use it but we see the sword as clear as day.
Lin Lie the Sword master is the New Iron Fist....Oh wait that's good, so that means the Moon Knight in Rivals is Danny Rand. I knew that looked like that looked like the Immortal Moon Knight uniform
Maybe im just speculating too hard, but is it possible that Danny is dead? Obviously were gonna get a skin for him, but its a strange choice, unless it was related to lore. We already know they do this (ex. Bucky's crazy arm, etc) i wonder if there could be a plot point involving the death of Danny
Danny Rand is a bit… problematic for the modern day. He is a white man who is the absolute face (at least to the audience) of the eastern asian mythology he’s based off of. Not that there’s anything wrong with that per se, it’s it would be better to be represented by an Asian-American character.
I like Danny Rand but this is unarguably the best looking Ironfist I've ever seen. Classic is still cool but if this is what Ironfist and Swordmaster will look like in other forms of media im all cool with it.
I never liked that the spotlight character for the East Asian mysticism/martial arts section of Marvel was a white guy, so I'm glad Danny isn't in Rivals.
I personally think they shouldn't lean too heavily into making different versions of characters into skins. As far as I understand, Sword Master is a distinct character which also goes for Anti Venom and Superior Ironman. There are enough different outfits for all characters, so that they should leave these variants and even different characters for future character releases.
Lin Lie was sword master first then became the new iron fist after losing his sword. So this skin actually makes sense since it's the same character just with a different mask
then you didn't understand anything or we have different version of what constitutes a distinct character, Lin Lie was Sword Master before he became Iron Fist, Superior iron Man is Toy Stark after having his morality inverted during the Axis event, and Anti-Venom is Eddie Brock with a different symbionte
the better exemples would Space Knight Venom which is Flash Thompson as the host, and Psylocke which the main version is Sai from Peach Momoko Demon Days while the other is the classic one from 616.
@DeliciaDamaria let me put it like this then: any character's variants deserves to be a character of its own like both Venom skins (Anti Venom is a whole different identity in the first place)
@marcusweltzien2564 so you'd want 5 different iron man's, 4 different hulks, 15 different Spidermans, etc? While pushing other characters. Your idea is terrible
Legacy reasons. Imagine that for characters like Venom they decided to use Flash Thompson or Dylan Brock instead of Eddie, or using Ben Reilly or Miles Morales for Spider-Man, Riri Williams or Rhodey for Iron Man, Yelena as Black Widow, Kate Bishop as Hawkeye, Jane Foster as Thor, you get the deal. I won't deny those characters could be playable and feel diferent enough from their inspiration ( i mean it as, to make Miles different enough from Peter for example) but most people would prefer to have the OG first.
I mean, i love dannys suit lol. I was hoping at least this iron fist would get his comic gold and black suit cuz i dont like the current multi colored suit...i got wannabe ryu instead
So funny that they picked sword master who was iron fist for 8 issues over danny or pei but then brought his sword master skin immediately too. Like kinda greedy imo, him as sword master would have made more sense but I hope we get a Pei or Danny skin added to iron fist.
They trying super hard to make people forget about Danny and pei to please the small group that complained about Danny being white, what’s really funny is bros been around for 50 years and people wanna complain now lol keep in mind too all the fancy stuff he does in the game he can’t even do in comics lol, would make more sense to make Danny or other iron fist characters that are actually an iron fist in the game.
But Danny is dead and this man is his successor. It would be great. Maybe, Danny Rand as an legacy skin.
TBF when was death actually permanent in comics?
@ I think most recently but the probably with Marvel is they haven’t pushed his successor’s comics well. He was in Agent of Atlas and the Doctor Strange’s Academy… His comics has six issues, if I recall.
Tbf, they also added the Kwannon Psylocke skin in the game, even though the Marvel Rivals Psylocke is Sai from the Demon Days run.

I hope we get a design similar to how he looked in the ultimate spider man cartoon, lot of memories with that version of the character
yeah he's the og (and my fav version) but I heard he died in the comics, tho I hope it doesn't stop them from adding him
At first I remembered guilty gear, and you know exactly what I'm talking about
NEED IT BACK
@Goblin_ThingYES, NOBODY IS GONE
Yoo Swordmaster?! Ive been playing him in marvel future fights for like 4 years. I did not know this new iron fist was him
I'm hoping the Sword Master skin lets us use the sword
It would be cool if the kicks and his dragon kick special animations were changed by sword swings.

Pay to win
@@enter4nonegood idea
Not sure why the sword isn’t incorporated into his moveset. If you’re going to use Lin lie, then use Lin lie.

If you play iron fist you can hear a voice line of him saying he was originally a "swords master but now I'm much more."
The Sword master design looks way cooler than the Iron fist one lol
He looks like Sol Badguy with that band on his head
Nah thats Dart Feld from The Legend of Dragoon
Ooh nice deep cut
He looks like kenshi from mortal kombat but just unblinded.
Either as a skin, or remember that time during Civil War where Danny was Daredevil? They could do that
Maybe whatever zombie form Danny ultimately takes on can be in the game.
Its a crime Danny aint in, like we got Braddock as Sai's alt skin for Psylocke. And shes the goat
I think it would be awesome to get a capcon marvel cross over skin and he’s dressed like ryu
It's Litt! 🔥🔥🔥
Danny rand is too good of a character for them not to be in the game
Really wise choice for Netease
I need a Danny Skin👀
the fact they don’t just have og skins for the characters is criminal
I've been waiting for ages for this game at to add Quicksilver
I really like this skin.i hope the skin changes the attack animations,so we actually use the sword to attack
Would have prefer the Danny skin but this is alright. HOWEVER I question how this would work because we clearly see a sword there. The easiest thing to do is just not use it but we see the sword as clear as day.
Im 100% Positive we will get that skin eventually. The game isnt even out yet, not even a year old. We'll get there eventually.
Nah just Danny’s outfit would be good enough. I really want the shirtless tattoo full mask outfit
Ugh Danny had so much swag and they just gonna ignore his existence
