The Uncanny X-Men Come to Marvel: Future Fight


Marvel: Future Fight v510 update is live! Players can now unlock X-Men members Iceman (Modern), Jubilee (Classic) and Bishop (Disassembled). There are also several new X-Men uniforms to collect for other previously available characters, including X-Men Red uniforms for Storm and Jean Grey, a new Disassembled uniform for Psylocke, and a new Uncanny X-Men uniform for Beast. MARVEL Future Fight’s new ‘Uniform Ranking’ system also allows players to view popular uniforms and with the ‘Uniform Dibs’ function, players can identify uniforms they want to buy.

Truly beautiful.

I haven't seen a butterfly effect this amazing since I fell in love with Psylocke in Capcom's Children of the Atom game!

I dropped $14.99 for some sort of offer that got me more than enough crystals to buy the uniform. And I haven't played this game in years, and I don't even have Psylocke unlocked. Haha.

But what the hell, it was only $15.00 and it was on sale for 700 crystal whatevers, which seemed pretty cheap.

I truly love this uniform, and I've really come around on Betsy as a 'Psychic Knight'.

But please, keep it to the sword and shield. I really don't want to see any whips, bows, or... dare I even mention it... psychic gatling guns. :S

Jaime Braz said...

@Benjamin Hutton Is the offer still on? Her Disassembled uni is expensive and deserving every dime.

From what I've been told and seen she is an unstoppable force when equipped properly in addition to the use of her new buffer move which enhances her attacks.

Psychic Knight should be a thing from now on. Ha ha don't worry I think and hope they won't turn her into a Star Sapphire. Though Psylocke has equal potential of Star Sapphires when it comes to fashioning power constructs.

I already have Psylocke at level 70 and honestly even before this she's unstoppable to me in my gameplay. But This outfit modifies two of her moves to look different and that's good. I just wished they changed her sword and added the shield. Or at least the sword. The out for is awesome but I think the hair and sword could have changed a little.

Benjamin Hutton said...

You can see the sword briefly, but I agree. It would be much better if she was running around with the sword and shield as default.

Yes, the sale is still on. I believe it's for another five days.

Worth every cent.

Also, by supporting this costume I'm hoping it sends a message to Marvel marketing about how I want Psylocke to look in ancillary media.

Fingers crossed.

FSaker said...

She looks amazing!

You know, while I was a bit aprehensive at first with Psylocke swapping bodies again, I must say it ended up being a great decision. Not only the whole yellowface problem was solved, but she's still a skilled warrior just like she used to be when she was in Kwannon's body. I'd say the current Betsy is a combination of the best aspects from both eras (pre-body swap and post-body swap).

My only (very minor) criticism is that I wish she still had the uniform she had before Mystery in Madripoor; I think it's the best uniform she ever had (it's still surprising to think it was designed by GREG LAND of all people...). But then again, the current one is possibly in the top 5 best uniforms Psylocke ever had, so she still looks great.

I think it does. Not only to Marvel, but also to other videogame developing companies that may eventually get hired to make future Marvel videogames.

I love this. And honestly, this uniform to me is Betsy's strongest and sexiest. I like that she looks like a warrior with a utilitarian outfit that is only slightly revealing with it's slight of the shoulder look which along with its pink components pays homage to her original uniform and the added dark navy pays homage to her later ninja uniforms. Definitely in her top 4 looks, and definitely top 4 in terms of looks AND functionality along with:

Uncanny X-Force redesign by Opena with pants

Anka design

Land design

I look forward to seeing what new uniform she may have post HoX/PoX as this current one is great. Hell, if we're lucky, she wear this along with other new ones.

Renegade X said...

@Rahasaan I like how the also did a slight redesign mixture of here Anka/Opena costumes in Contest of Champions as well.

My Top 5 are...
Current Greg Land costume
Uncanny X-Force w/ pants/Uncanny X-Men costume she was in with Magneto's team
House of M [would love seeing Kwannon rocking this!]
X-Treme X-Men
Age of X

Rahsaan said...

Years ago, someone said (maybe it was here) that Summer Glau would make a perfect Psylocke. I totally agree if MCU recasts. I think I'd prefer her to Munn. Especially, if she can feign a Britsh accent. The face of Besty in this game even kinda looks like Summer to me. And we know Summer can do action, including combat.

Rahsaan said...

Or maybe we can Natalie Dormer or Emilia Clarke when MCU reimagines!

bblackorchidd said...

Not Emilia Clarke ! Too soon

I do like Natalie dormer tho

She has this cynical wiggly nose edge to her that pouty smirk and of course the voice is all there

Should there ever be an Asian to play Kwannon I love ziyi Zhang

Olivia is fine but not sure if Disney will transfer her

Rahsaan said...

@Orchidd,

I think Natalie would so nail Elizabeth's sardonic wit! And if they want to show her pre and post hair dye, Natalie looks good as a blonde.

Renegade X said...

@Rahassn, we can let Olivia be Kwannon. Its a win win for us.

Renegade X said...

I also was thinking they should make a movie of Psylocke including Mojo and Spiral and her connection with the X-Men, MI-13, the Hand and the Braddocks...it seems like a lot but having a good director and plotting each phase would be awesome. Let Olivia Munn play Kwannon since she is half Chinese. The name Kwannon which is Japanese is also known as Guanyin/Guan Yin, the Chinese goddess of mercy "[The One Who] Perceives the Sounds of the World.

Rahsaan said...

@Renegade, I love that idea save for Mojo. I hate him as a character. I love Spiral though. As for Olivia, I think I’d prefer someone who looks more unambiguously East Asian for Kwannon unless they want to depict Kwannon as her body was drawn 80 percent of the time to look mostly like a slightly Asian white woman. No shade to Olivia who is awesome.

Jaime Braz said...

Great news I have the time to find the resources to buy the uni.

The shield is visible when she is on defense mode and moves from place to place. The next updates can fix the visibility of the shield and give her hair a brighter purple.

The Asrar Psylocke is the best for video games because she balances elegance with fighting skill. I hope game developers will adapt her in future games.

Natalie Dormer bears some resemblance to Psylocke's icon. I think Dormer can pull her off easily and has the beauty and attitude to do that. Spot on suggestion.



Benjamin Hutton said...

I think the perfect actress for British Psylocke is Kate Beckinsale.

But I guess Hollywood would consider her too old for the part now.

Rahsaan said...

I always felt Kate would be great. However, the time has now past. Unless MCU plans to age the character. I also felt that Halle and Famke were also too old for their roles as their characters are nowhere near middle-aged. All these women look great, but these roles should be played by younger women and I would prefer unknown actors over forcing those with a large degree of celebrity into parts they don’t fit, like Halle as Storm. Even a younger Halle is not good as Storm due to her acting style.

bblackorchidd said...

Halle was the worst ! Especially that disoriented ‘african’ accent in x1!
Thank GOd there shall be an x-men casting revolution with Disney

Rahsaan said...

And Alexandra Shipp is also a pretty terrible actress too.
