The default Psylocke skin actually has lore: it's from a reality called Demon Days, inspired by feudal japan. In this reality, Psylocke is neither Kwannon or Betsy. Her name is Sai and she is a yokai (demon) slayer. The character was designed by Peach Momoko.
Every skins that's not a recolor, they added what issue and year those skins first appeared. I fucking love that! I'd play the game more if not for some performance issues.
@Fyre19 I mean you're just wrong... I've played the marvel vs Capcom series but that blue look is from the comics. Also some old shows I thought did it first but I don't remember the exact time line very well tbh
@@AsymilumYes - Venom's appearance in the comics had black with blue HIGHLIGHTS, but Marvel vs. Capcom colored him cyan to a T by excluding the color black entirely. The only fair comparison would have to be the 2000 Spider-Man video game, but it's a completely different shade of blue. So I'd say Marvel vs. Capcom takes the cake in the reference.
The main Psylocke in Rivals is neither Betsy or Kwannon is actually Sai who's debuted in alt-world story called Demon Days by Peachmomoko. You can see on her dialogues with Logan and Venom.
Honestly Rob has infinite content with things like this. Especially if he can get the fanbase on the manga/anime train. Dude will never run out of things to talk about. Of course we all come here for marvel/DC but, the possibilities are endless with him.
I am convinced that Squirrel Girl is the Cosmic Embodiment of the Silver Age of Comics given human form. Silly character, silly powers, never loses, and often befriends the villains she beats.
you know rob, since the maps are seemingly combinations of different locations... i challenge you to explain THOSE if they even are what i suspect them to be
I think you kinda missed out on explaining the default Psylocke skin which is pretty interesting, but that’s just me. You should definitely do this more.
love that they're also mixing elements of existing Marvel lore like the Spider-Punk 2099 skin for Spider-Man which basically takes Spider-Punk and blends it with Cyberpunk aesthetics like the glowing collars and LED masks which I hope they add to the shop soon since it was available during the beta test
I love these lore explanation type videos. Like not just focusing on one storyline specifically but getting the history of this look or object or whatever it may be ❤
I definitely loved this. Personally I think it would great to see more on this game and others (like the lore behind some of the suits in the PlayStation Spider-Man games).
Love the vid Rob. really hope they do more skins referencing the comics favs rn are the Hulk skins world breaker and grey Hulk. If they mess around and give us Maestro i might lose it.
Rob, please, please please, if you get to the Base Iron man skin. I got like a whole little mini portfolio over his base suit. His base suit, is from a ton of variant covers from 2018 Tony Stark: Iron Man run. Appeared on like 20 covers, but never in the actual story. A lot of people think it’s the godbuster suit, but it’s not. It’s got this kickass design but it was never used any other place other than those covers. Then it just pops up in the game outta nowhere.
I'm a huge overwatch fan and I just started playing this yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised! I love that the characters will interact with each other as your fighting, talking about the things you see. It really feels like a comic sometimes
13:55 Any suit imbued with the power cosmic is instantly my favorite suit any character gets. The stars inside the shadows on the suit look absolutely badass and when I saw the stars in Love and Thunder on eternity I was like give me this on every suit in the MCU PLEASEEE
I feel the spirit of Benny in your enthusiasm. It makes me sad, but I think you're doing a great job keeping people entertained with comics, and comic lore.
Hope Summers should have at least appeared in this or had her own Marvel film by now. Her character has been wasted on minor BS after all these years of being hailed as a "messiah" and then just a basic X-Men member.
18:19 it's been stated that the base costume for psylocke is basically the one from peach momoko's demon days storyline, im which she's a Japanese ninja in feudal japan named Sai
Would love if you did more lore about suits in other games as well. I always find it interesting on the origins of the suits other than the little blurbs that are found in the games
Im glad a video like this is out already bc its a great refresher for me to test how much i do and dont remember about these storylines ive researched over the years. Please make a part 2!!
Dude I was literally thinking about that last night. He would add a nice vibe to the game as a specialist I think. Imagine the dialogue between him and Deadpool once he is added as well!
Oh man I was really hopping you would cover this game. I’d love for you to do a mini series about all the characters backstories because there were a bunch of characters that I had never heard of before
Hell yeah Rob keep dropping the videos on the lore. I watch all your videos on all the comics you do in lore about marvel. I think everybody in the comics explained community and comics in general would enjoy the explanation of the lore and what issues they come from. Being at marvel rivals is a very hype game right now and I think as long as they keep releasing characters throughout their seasons it'll remain the top hero shooter out there. It has one of the most largest fan base before it even launched because aye it's marvel
I got the galactic fangs Hawkeye skin and I absolutely love it. I also got herald of galactus Thor and the guardians volume 3 Adam Warlock suit… def my mains for each class
If you want more content you should explain the lore of every character I didnt know every team has a story around them since the trailer We got: Avengers against Drácula (Blade teaser) Strange Magik and Scarlet W. From different dimensions Jeff Mantis and Psylocke are from different dimensions capture by the Collector 2099 has a team of Black Widow, Punisher Moon Knight but also Captain América and Bucky are from a 2099 timeline Guardians of the Galaxy are in Klyntar with Venom against Knull I recommend to do a summary for the people !!! The game even has comics inside
Yeah you might as well get on the train while it's leaving the station! Do more costume lore videos! Who doesn't want a good explanation as to why some of these suits look so iconic!! It'll sell like GANGBUSTERS!! 😂
Cloak: "Prepare for trouble!"
Dagger: "And make it double!"
To protect the world from devastation!
To confuse our reader nation
Double it and give it to the next person ahh move
@@xXLiLJokerXxTo denounce the evils of truth and love.
@@shadowsonicsilver6To extend our reach to the stars above !

I’m really surprised he didn’t talk about that.
Awesome
He didn't even bother reading the skin's ingame tooltips.
Cool
"Psychic breathing: 3st form...."
Dude, you HAVE to go over the in-game lore too. It is genuinely peak and has some of the best interpretations of a few characters in recent media.
Exactly this. Dracula canonically now owing moon knight money is PEAK
Every skins that's not a recolor, they added what issue and year those skins first appeared.
I fucking love that!
I'd play the game more if not for some performance issues.
cept the cyan venom skin they say its a og but its not its from a older capcom game
Pretty sure its just a recolor@@Fyre19

Loudly wrong
And in her Lore tab.
Damn i I’m knew sai

As long as they keep making superhero shit he can explain it to the normies for the rest of his life

Dooms battle world?
What kills me is Wolverine's default suit/skin: it's the College Boy Wolverine!!!!😂😂😅
Hopefully we get the brown or weapon x skin soon.
@@roxtechs the alt skin for wolvarine is already a brown jacket
They massacred my boy
Miles’s vibranium suit helps keep his desire to drink blood at bay.
He is still a vampire wow
H u h ? !
Really hope miles gets a symbiote, a vibranium/symbiote suit would be insane
@ check out avengers vs aliens and check out what happens at the end of #1
Please keep doing vids like this rob. The designs in this game are so good. It's fun to learn more about the history of them.
Fight As One (Avengers EMH song): "Are you challenging me?"
Rivals Til the End: "Yes."
Fight As One is still better
Squirrel Girl THICC as hell in this
Yea she is😍👍🏿
she is obese not thicc
Yeah.
yeah
Hell yeah brother
Please do more. I feel like this is needed for people who are getting into the game and don't know the lore
Squirrel girl is ready for hibernation gyat DAYUM.
Great video as always, my man.
I think you kinda missed out on explaining the default Psylocke skin which is pretty interesting, but that’s just me. You should definitely do this more.
Psylocke has lore in both costumes. The initial skin/costume is Sai from feudal Japan of X men Demon Days.
love that they're also mixing elements of existing Marvel lore like the Spider-Punk 2099 skin for Spider-Man which basically takes Spider-Punk and blends it with Cyberpunk aesthetics like the glowing collars and LED masks which I hope they add to the shop soon since it was available during the beta test
I love these lore explanation type videos. Like not just focusing on one storyline specifically but getting the history of this look or object or whatever it may be ❤
I liked the video! Didn't know much about Psylocke so it's cool learning some of their origin info.
The dialogue for a lot of the chasm arc has been super wack but I love Love LOVE the arc itself
5:45 Spidercide: “Am I joke to you Rob!?,”
Robcorp: “You were a joke in your own story 3rd Spiderclone”
Please do another one of these with Hawkeye free fall that’s one of my favorite comics and it’s so underrated
The artwork is amazing!
10:58 you trying to start a rumble or something Rob?
I’d like to see this as a series. This is dope!
Love it. Def do more.
I definitely loved this. Personally I think it would great to see more on this game and others (like the lore behind some of the suits in the PlayStation Spider-Man games).
Thank you for making this!
I have been playing a lot since launch but knowing you liked it is a huge seal of approval
I love this and I’m definitely here for it. I would also love if you covered the in-game lore as it develops!
Looking forward to more of these!
Alot of the skins in Rivals are treated like their own variants/characters cause they all come with different bios and the game is multiversal
This was interesting. Please do more!
Love the vid Rob. really hope they do more skins referencing the comics favs rn are the Hulk skins world breaker and grey Hulk. If they mess around and give us Maestro i might lose it.
Earliest I’ve been to a Comics Explained Video. Honestly quite an achievement.
Love this!! I was wondering if there was lore behind all the cool suits/skins !!
Rob explains video games! Love it! Can you do Skyrim next? That's a 20 hour video 😂
Rob, please, please please, if you get to the Base Iron man skin. I got like a whole little mini portfolio over his base suit. His base suit, is from a ton of variant covers from 2018 Tony Stark: Iron Man run. Appeared on like 20 covers, but never in the actual story.
A lot of people think it’s the godbuster suit, but it’s not.

That's actually really interesting!

Love Rob lore dives
13:55 Any suit imbued with the power cosmic is instantly my favorite suit any character gets. The stars inside the shadows on the suit look absolutely badass and when I saw the stars in Love and Thunder on eternity I was like give me this on every suit in the MCU PLEASEEE
Do more videos like this!
I feel the spirit of Benny in your enthusiasm. It makes me sad, but I think you're doing a great job keeping people entertained with comics, and comic lore.
Including me obviously.
I was really hoping you make some content about this game after I saw the skins and the first times they are seen in comic issues. This is so dope.
Loved this video man. I’d be interested in seeing more. Black Panther’s primal skin is my favorite.
1:07 i literally said out loud "oh that's dope" and then he says "yes its dope". bro just read my mind
cant wait for you to cover the rest of the characters Rob!!
Was telling my friend I couldn’t wait for this vid lol
every character is so overpowered in the right hands and with these combos! Loving this game!
I think it's awesome they used Wolverine heated claws as an in-game Mechanic.
Fun video. More please!
This game is looking to be pretty popular Rob. Keep releasing info about lore and I think it's a great avenue to explore
this is such a cool video idea bro
great video. I'm looking foreword to more videos on the subject.
Love the content bro
Very cool... I'm down for more
Hope Summers should have at least appeared in this or had her own Marvel film by now.

18:19 it's been stated that the base costume for psylocke is basically the one from peach momoko's demon days storyline, im which she's a Japanese ninja in feudal japan named Sai
You know we want more of this Rob. Just put the lore in the bag my guy
I love how my Marvel Rivals main is the first one you talked about,
I love the lore of Rivals so far. The more seasons they’ll make the more of a storyline there will be
Crazy I was just about to ask for this video
DEF KEEP DOING THESE‼️‼️
i can confirm Squirrel Girl. The moment i found out she was in the game. it was a wrap
Would love if you did more lore about suits in other games as well. I always find it interesting on the origins of the suits other than the little blurbs that are found in the games
I need more Marvel Rivals lore, Rob! This game is amazing!
Im glad a video like this is out already bc its a great refresher for me to test how much i do and dont remember about these storylines ive researched over the years. Please make a part 2!!
“Let me know if you guys enjoy this”
The answer is always yea Rob, yes we do lol.
Yes tell us all of them rob please!!!! I love your stuff bro I've learned so much more about DC and Marvel
i was excited for this kind of content
I haven't played this game yet, but I enjoy and hope for more costume lore!
You talking about Squirrel Girl. Had me thinking about another character I'd like to see added to the game. Howard The Duck for Marvel Rivals
YESSIR WE NEED THE GOAT
Dude I was literally thinking about that last night. He would add a nice vibe to the game as a specialist I think. Imagine the dialogue between him and Deadpool once he is added as well!
Do more this is good content
Thank you Rob for all you do for us comic fans 😊Giving us videos we didn’t know we needed
Oh man I was really hopping you would cover this game. I’d love for you to do a mini series about all the characters backstories because there were a bunch of characters that I had never heard of before
this spiderman skin is one of my favourite spider suits ever
It was bugging me watching people play not knowing much about comics knowing they won't even pick up a comic either. Thank you for teaching
They knew exactly what fans of Squirl Girl wanted and they cooked it perfectly.
Hell yeah Rob keep dropping the videos on the lore. I watch all your videos on all the comics you do in lore about marvel. I think everybody in the comics explained community and comics in general would enjoy the explanation of the lore and what issues they come from. Being at marvel rivals is a very hype game right now and I think as long as they keep releasing characters throughout their seasons it'll remain the top hero shooter out there.

I got the galactic fangs Hawkeye skin and I absolutely love it. I also got herald of galactus Thor and the guardians volume 3 Adam Warlock suit… def my mains for each class
Love this, love everything about it
I am totally here for the skin lore ❤
The group of 3 iron spider suits gave me the idea. The Spider Heros would be great jailers/wardens
If you want more content you should explain the lore of every character
I didnt know every team has a story around them since the trailer
We got: Avengers against Drácula (Blade teaser)
Strange Magik and Scarlet W. From different dimensions
Jeff Mantis and Psylocke are from different dimensions capture by the Collector
2099 has a team of Black Widow, Punisher Moon Knight but also Captain América and Bucky are from a 2099 timeline
Guardians of the Galaxy are in Klyntar with Venom against Knull
I recommend to do a summary for the people !!! The game even has comics inside
If yall dont know if you play on playstation 5. You get a version of the Kaine scarlet spider skin for free. (It was webs and therefore much cooler)
aw man I'm bummed! I love Kaine's Scarlet Spider suit!
Also a venom version of Peni Parker
Love this Rob, maybe could be a sick idea for a second channel maybe where you break down comic lore in games and other media!
Rob is the type of guy to be a god in Marvel Rivals.
As Vegeta once found out against Arale, never mess with a gag character (like Squirrel Girl), it never works out 😅
Rob I’d love to watch you stream this game live
Criminal: Ha! It's just Squirrel Girl, she can't do nothing!
Rick Sanchez: Opens Portal: You're on your own, we fucked with Squirrels! 😂
I hope they bring in a couple new skins and characters like blade,ghost rider, Carnage, Deadpool as well miles
Squirrel girl and Peni Parker are some beast in this game
you should definitely do lore recaps for the skins they releaase. id be interested
This was awesome absolutely do more of these!
Was playing the game when I saw Rob posted a new video 😅
This video was enlightening. Your humble approach made it all the more effective.
Good lord, The video was dominated by Spiderman lore. 😱. Not complaining just observing.😎
Theses characters or skin are so awesome. I didn’t even get the chance to try the game.
Yeah you might as well get on the train while it's leaving the station! Do more costume lore videos! Who doesn't want a good explanation as to why some of these suits look so iconic!! It'll sell like GANGBUSTERS!! 😂
