Love the new set! These characters all look so cool, though like yourself, I'm definitely most hyped for Black Panther! Looking forward to the streams.
Love the items! Khonsu could use that 2 damage on himself as a pass, in niche cases Beowulf could use it on himself for rage (lets say it gives you confirmed lethal on heirloom for example). Using the rocket pack to go to the blaster would basically pass a whole turn! Also, the EMP array could benefit Sinbad and Little Red as well!
Played a few games with Winter Soldier now and Manipulation was my favourite card. Because of Reprogram, I was able to make up the deck size disadvantage regularly if the opponent didn't draw cards as well. He really feels like a ranged Big Foot in a Daredevil suit.
Set looks awesome! I love playing blind… but I love knowing what is in the set early too… 😂 I like theory crafting and dreaming about playing the new stuff. Lol
I really don’t know about this set honestly. Widow seems fine, if a bit weak, but Panther and Soldier look really toxic to play against. Panther, while I don’t think he’s overpowered at all, will have scenarios where he steals your beastforms and there’s literally nothing you can do about, especially if he hard mulligans for Shuri schemes. Soldier on the other hand I think is just absolutely absurd. How do you kill him if he just keeps recycling complete the mission and reprograms? You’ll run out of damage eventually and then he starts recycling the healing and you’re done.
My thoughts, really. For me, every marvel characters can be fair only vs other marvels. Or it will be really bullshit games if you not pick only strongest characters.
eh I wouldn’t go that far. Elektra and potentially WS are broken, yes, but all of the other ones are balanced or even weak. Luke is annoying and really solid, but beatable. Ghost Rider just kinda falls over and is super scheme reliant. MK is one of the most fun fighters they’ve put out imo with clear turns of up and down for both parties to plan around. I am daredevils biggest hater but he’s not broken, he can be aggro’d to death or drained of resources with clever positioning. Bullseye is awesome but even more scheme reliant than Rider. There is not a single Teen Spirit fighter higher than mid tier. Marvel is fine, we just have two really bad apples in the bunch
My country just got the first 4 sets of this game (BoL, C&F, little red hood/beowulf and Robin Hood/Big Foot) and your channel is making me want to import all this new cool sets. Great content
Really good set ! map and characters seem great ! Did you test it more ? Which one is your favorite for now ? Which one seems to be higher tier ? Nice video again, thank's for all the videos :)
I have tested it more (mainly Black Widow) and she is definitely my favorite! I really like Black Panther as well though. Such a fun set! I think they're all pretty good characters overall.
If you have no more missions in your deck then you just reveal all missions in your hand. That way you can verify without having to show the rest of your deck (which would give away the contents of your hand).
For Black Panther I really thought that cards in the Vibranium suit would have came from his discard pile or from his deck somehow. Him straight being able to steal the opponents cards is insane to me.
Hi, John. We have seen you win against top characters many times, and we understand your level. Can you play a couple of games for non-top characters (Mr. Hyde, Robin Hood, Dracula) vs some new bosses(Wukong, Yennenga, T-rex)?
Hi! You can often find these types of matchups on my streams, as I do a lot of variety there. But I haven't been streaming as much lately because I started school once again and don't have as much free time. Just make sure you follow me on Twitch to get notifications when I go live! :)
Black panther needing to draw when he boosts just mitigates the fact that he's making the opponent's deck 10 cards lighter. It in no way makes him more vulnerable to exhaustion than his opponent in a 1v1 match. Any character that normally burns through their deck is going to have real problems. He and Winter Soldier are the first characters I have ever seen previewed I did not fall in love with immediately. I can wait for a sale on this one.
It is situational for all his vibranium effects though. If they kill Shuri before finding schemes, win combat against Ancestral, and feint the Red 3, then they can mitigate the card loss. Of course it's not likely to be able to stop all of that, but you probably only lose about 5 cards from your deck in an average game.
Imo the characters in this set are interesting at best, I’m just so very tired of all the marvel sets at this point. And then come to find out we’ve got yet another one on the way. I would much rather see any other comic IP at this point, Darkhorse or DC especially so we can get some comic crossover match ups going. Of course historical, mythological, and literary characters are my most preferred.
Hey folks. I have Battle Of Legends Vol.1 and Cobble And Fog. If I buy one or two more boxes, and want to mix all of the heroes, what should I get, for keeping them "matched". Right now, Sherlock and Medusa are really strong, so in a 4-player game, I would see those picked on opposite teams. If the others available were King Arthur, Jekyll / Hyde, Invisible Man, they would be matched, I think. (I would leave the mid-tiers in the box, in this case. Or sometimes leave the low-tier stuff in the box, and let players choose from mid-tier. Or leave Medusa and Sherlock in the box.) Should I have more high tier to choose from? Also, If I wanted a 2-player or 3-player board, which one would you recommend, with fighters that work well against what I have? Right now, I'm thinking about getting Beowulf and Little Red, and stopping right there. I don't want to spend much more on this series, but if some characters are considered "essential", it would be nice to have them. I don't want to look back later and regret not having that one box that I should have bought.
Little Red vs Beowulf is a great addition! They also both can stand up to Sherlock and Medusa and have some interesting matchups with some of the other mid tiers you have. Also, it sounds like you have all public domain sets. If you wanted to possibly get a licensed IP set I do think this King & Country is the best of the bunch. So if there are any Marvel fans they might enjoy it. Though the new Brains and Brawn is also coming out soon which has Spiderman, Dr Strange, and She-Hulk if you'd rather wait for that one.
Awesome review zero. You’re my go to guy for unmatched. Question. Me and my buddies are getting into it competitively. Do you know or anyone know, all the legal and competitive maps for 1v1. And also how do you end up deciding on a map. Is there bans or counter picks. Thank you.
Cool thanks man glad to hear it. All maps are legal but they're always chosen during the draft phase, which differs based on the format you're playing. Most recent tournaments have been using Arsenal but we also have used Conquest. I have videos for both of those explaining the formats if you wanna check them out!
It seems like Winter Soldiers infinite doesn’t only make him an exhaustion menace, but also means that he can have infinite 6’s with minimal drawbacks. Unless I’m missing something
@@zeroskatr12 yeah I played him several times and even lost to Black Widow while she still had 10 hp🤯 He lacks defense and you need to work around that.
I enjoy these. Next time you make a ranking list of fighters, can you please add in Deadpool? I know he's not allowed in competitive play for some silly reason, but you can just explain why that is. Put an asterix next to him, saying this is where you'd slot him in IF you could.
Glad you enjoy! And yeah for Deadpool I would put him in low tier. Not bottom, but he just is too inconsistent and such low starting HP, with too low defense quantity to put him any higher.
Hey i was thinking of getting into unmatched to have something fun to play with friends. I was just wondering your opinion on the best boxes to get as. I think a lot of the fighters are really cool and fun but i don't want the games to come down to a bully session if the characters are unbalanced.
I would really just recommend whichever fighters you like best. Most of the boxes have pretty balanced matchups within them. In BoL1 Arthur struggles but the others are pretty close (with Medusa on top), BoL2 Mary struggles but can have a good game against Yen, JP2 I think is the most unbalanced 2-pack. But overall I would recommend these as the top balance for each category: 4-pack: BoL v2 3-pack: King & Country 2-pack: Houdini vs Genie
I will actually say manipulation can be an insanely good card is WS is getting pressured. It's so good at digging for your good card and keeping up an okay hand size because he doesn't have much other draw in his deck
@@zeroskatr12 yeah it's pretty great. Overall I think he is actually a lot of fun and not nearly as strong as he looks (though still quite strong) but a lot of people will probably find him quite annoying which is fair since he never has to be the one to approach for the most part
@@zeroskatr12 Yeah, I have to live vicariously by watching you and other TH-camrs play the game together lol. But I appreciate the content it helps get me through crazy work weeks
Love your content man! on the other side, one question.. if Panther plays against Houdini, does he get the boost effect from Houdini's cards when he uses them from Vibranium Suit?
@@zeroskatr12 yeye, idk, thats nice and he is potentially a counter pick for Houdini buut not sure what to think :D this whole set looks a bit overpowered, hope I am wrong
When Black Panther boosts with a card he had in his vibranium suit does he put it in his discard pile or in the discard pile of his opponent ?? Because if he puts it in his own discard pile, I feel like he is going to brutalise Elektra
Is it possible Reprogram is balanced by that incredibly low value? I feel like if a fighter can punish enough 2 value defensive reprograms his looping potential might crumble a tad. Or at least make his 15 HP dry up. I guess he can ping with them from afar but that feels risky in my brain? I dunno, Winter Soldier is weird!
I think you're right! Which seems like it will make a very fun game. Similar to Little Red and the Huntsman. I love the characters where the sidekick is so pivotal that it's like a multi-step process for the opponent to remove them before dealing with the hero.
Do developers test their characters at least sometimes? BP, which can discard up to 10 enemy cards, and at the same time has a good defense and attack and good. The Winter Soldier is an absurdity, an endless deck, good defense and attack and healing. Why didn 't they put a restriction on themselves in the rkprogromirovanie
Yes they playtest and the newer characters even go through special testing done by a focus group consisting of top-level tournament players. However, this Marvel set and all the previous ones had been developed long ago. The delays due to shipping problems caused by the pandemic along with long waits for licensor approval caused them to just now be released. But the testing process was not as rigorous back then and they had more restrictions put on them by licensors.
@user-vk5px8do5t I believe that only the final Marvel set might have been developed before the focus group. Everything else releasing has been run through the focus group starting with the fighters from Unmatched Adventures (the co-op game)
@@zeroskatr12 Please tell me, does the cloak/dagger ability work against multi sidekicks? They have 1 health, so they can't be hit more than 1? And they have the same question with 7.
