I think the issue with the Pixel Variants isn't that it's pixels but not good pixel art. There's some amazing pixel artists out there and some examples of actual pixelated Marvel characters from video games over the years, but whoever does the art for them in Snap they all look very muddy and not a good use of color. Some are fine but most are just bland.
A lot of them are just pre-existing Marvel character art with a pixel filter dropped over them. That's why the faces look horrendous in a lot of characters.
@@khaospilot4050 Because there are a lot of them. It's one of the only variants they do for basically every character and none of them are "super rare" so the odds of pulling them are just higher on average. (You'll notice he also got a lot of Dan Hipps which fulfill the same criteria)
my friend called the marvel devs sensibility "white guy cool" which is pretty accurate, especially for the titles. they're not quite "epic bacon" bad but somewhere close to there.
I know it'd be very niche but considering how scarcely you use variants, it would be cool to do a video piloting a deck with just your favourite variants, dual purpose of showing what they are to us and also so that we can see if you can make very random cards work together somehow!
I hate the fact that for series 3 completed players the collector's reserves are almost worthless.. You get almost no credits, almost no tokens, no gold at all and you keep getting titles, avatars and the worst of all gold tickets? What if like Regis you don't play conquest? Just feels so stupid and greedy of second dinner.. You get a few variants and there is not even a tiny chance of them being super rare.. I really hate the state of collector's reserves right now. They used to be much better than this. In my opinion there could also still be a tiny chance of getting a series 4 or 5 card..
I made it to pool 3 a few weeks back and let me tell you that my pulls are similar. Stupid credits, 100 tokens, and avatars. I barely have any pool 3 cards and at this point it feels like I'm never going to complete it. I'm tired of not having a viable deck against all these high evos and lokis. Also alioth. Seriously fuck alioth
i like these videos. I also wouldn't mind these videos having you upgrade a couple cards to see if you get any cool splits on some of the variants you unlock during the video.
Tickets are even worse drops than boosters were. Also they have stopped the series drop without any mention of it anywhere and I haven't seen a single creator talk about it either. That just makes the caches even worse for players who have completed their pool 3 but can't just spend money on every new card.
I know that those kind of videos don't usually have as many views as the main ones (gameplay), but rng stuff is actually my favorite Probably because I like to see the pain when it's not my own lol
I'm only in the late 7K area and I feel like I am getting zero variants from reserves. I haven't bought anything besides pixels from the shop for months (because it was very frustrating being "rewarded" with pixels)
After returning back to the game the things i find that i hate a lot is how much credits you need to get a single key and that if you are pool 3 complete no amount of credits spent matter. CT are scarce and in an abysmal quantity as well as gold
Yo That a lot of reserve, i just Comeback to snap after half year, harder to collect usable card now since there is too much variant that nobody gonna use
I don’t think pixel variants are necessarily bad, but if they were visually animated with moving pixels as opposed to colour changes and morphs, I think they’d be a lot more popular. Think Snap needs to better animate a lot of their cards to match the standard of those like Chess Bishop of Baby Groot who have moving animations instead of morphs
Hey Regis, big fan of your content. Can I ask when you live-streamed this? Because the last two times I saw you jump on Twitch they were Hearthstone streams. I just don’t want to miss out on your Snap streams.
It took me 29 reserves (and I don't know if I'd previously stopped at a variant) to get one variant. I feel your pain. At this point I wish I'd just kept hoarding instead of opening them.
I feel the same way about the gold tickets. At the end of the season I usually end up just setting my title to "I love you" and starting all the gold conquests and immediately conceding to get the tiny amount of currency from starting them. I just don't like playing conquest.

@@kraazexjoker1874yep examples are. Iron heart and white tiger. My question is, why are pixel variants so common?
Some of the newest pixels have actually been improving a lot in quality to the point where I’d say some aren’t even the card’s worst variant

It seems like the hired a pixel artist recently because the newer ones look nice.
3:55 butt cheek shoulders
I like how Regis gushes over a Variant but never favorites it😂

He once did a video of an all out Dan Hipp deck!
Perfect timing, just made breakfast and Regis uploaded, great start to the day

@@JamesJohnsonQ you are guaranteed to pull 2 new cards in a group of 4 in collector's cache and 2 cards in a group of 7 collectors reserve
At least Dan Hipp Agatha doesn’t have the signature leg bend 😂
If I had a huge run of Dan Hipp and pixels, I'd be very unhappy

So many new variants! I wonder which ones he will use?
0.000000 :D
Pixels

Probably because I like to see the pain when it's not my own lol
From greatest art of Alex Ross and Frank Cho, to pixel abomination with balls for shoulders. How low you fallen, dear Marvel.
I said the same thing about the anime Rescue variant. Very Ghost In The Shell inspired.
Its Shoulder and Rear Delt on the juggernaut variant
As a Pixel Variant Hater Myself, That Juggernaut Looks Sick Lol
I'm only in the late 7K area and I feel like I am getting zero variants from reserves. I haven't bought anything besides pixels from the shop for months (because it was very frustrating being "rewarded" with pixels)
Best pixel in the game is green goblin.
I love that laugh
I like goose’s a lot as well
Modok way better
Crystal>>>
It has to be Sentry
Nice vid as always👍Maybe lil much talkin' about Douchester
That Rescue variant in the thumbnail is so nice. 🔥🔥
hear me out ongoing: turns your opponent's cards into base variants
No no, downgrade your opponents card "that's a purty gold you be there"
@@delbomb3131 to the grey base variant so they don't know what's from triskelion without clicking on the card
The pixel Juggernaut is bent over to charge, what you see is all 3 deltoids and a bit of bicep 💪🏽
After returning back to the game the things i find that i hate a lot is how much credits you need to get a single key and that if you are pool 3 complete no amount of credits spent matter.
CT are scarce and in an abysmal quantity as well as gold
I have 200 boxes and don't plan to open anything till the system changes. I doubt it will, but I'm literally missing out on nothing
Man i very agree with your opinion about pixel art variants. Why they don't use a proper pixel art color palette.
haha i have almost 200 caches myself (CL6300+). was thinking of making a vid lul. but it sucks to open normal reserves now lul
That juggernaut variant is front and rear deltoid muscles not biceps and triceps smh
We do not see the bottom of the chat. Might need to fix that. Great video
What do you mean the bottom? It just scrolls forever.
@@RegisKillbin @ 9:52 for example the bottom comment seems to be "Regis I got a". Then when it goes up we see it has more there
why u mostly dont use variants for your cards dude?
Yo That a lot of reserve, i just Comeback to snap after half year, harder to collect usable card now since there is too much variant that nobody gonna use
Regis, please use a deck with all of your favorite variants. It would be awesome to see
Shuri Red Skull with the base art, you got it!
homie gets so stun locked on pixel variants
I wish for the cards that made stuff, the stuff that was made would be in the same art style
Always 200 tokens per spotlight key.
I’m at 6000 cl… I have like 100+ hours on steam I can’t imagine how much time you’ve put in the game at this point
its more money then time, Regis gets paid for this content and can get his expenses back as taxes as this is his profession.

I love the pixels lol I have a deck thats only pixels caked good pixel 😂

4:14 why is it look like there are two butt on his shoulder?
Lol... y is Jean Grey tossing potatoes. She has red hair so 90% sure she's Irish.
Im about 30 reserves without a single variant not even pixel, did second dinner change the odds or im just unlucky?
It took me 29 reserves (and I don't know if I'd previously stopped at a variant) to get one variant. I feel your pain. At this point I wish I'd just kept hoarding instead of opening them.
Today i had 2 in a raw. But just damn ugly pixels
BRUH 50k tokens?
I feel the same way about the gold tickets. At the end of the season I usually end up just setting my title to "I love you" and starting all the gold conquests and immediately conceding to get the tiny amount of currency from starting them. I just don't like playing conquest.
26k? dam so that's what whale account looks like, I'm sitting at 7300+ and i was in beta lol
Hi regis
i like pixel destroyer and pixel cosmo
Can’t wait to see all those amazing variants that Regis won’t use!
I like the Hipps but the Pixel are straight trash..!
Snap is falling off fast
Picked up that Rescue instantly when I saw it my shop a few days ago. Great minds think alike 😁
Bro rlly hates evrything
I LOVE PIXEL ARTS!!!!
Too many filler drops, SD making it difficult for new players 😕
Dan hip variants suck. Barely better than pixel
dont come up with title ideas bro, its enough of titles in game🤣🤣
is it just me or should it simply just have give u MORE. for 26k cl i feel like its so not good enough
Pixel Yellowjacket is just cyrax and you won’t convince me otherwise
