Summary
- A Marvel Rivals player recently shared a video of Jeff the Land Shark's ultimate ability catching a player outside of its animation.
- Players are hoping that this issue can be quickly remedied by NetEase.
- Marvel Rivals recently celebrated gaining 20 million players since launch.
A Marvel Rivals fan recently took to social media with a video that shows players being caught by Jeff the Land Shark's ultimate ability outside of its animation. While some fans have complained about balancing among the various characters in Marvel Rivals, Jeff's ultimate seems to come up more often than others. It remains to be seen how NetEase Games will respond to such complaints, as the game has yet to receive any major balancing changes.
While many players hate being caught by Jeff's ultimate ability, the community has largely embraced the land shark as the cutest member of the game's roster. It seems NetEase Games has made note of this, as Marvel Rivals is giving away a free winter skin for Jeff the Land Shark to all players during its Winter Celebration event. The event will also feature a new mode where four Jeffs face off against one another in an attempt to cover the entire map in colored snow.
Marvel Rivals Players Want to Change Storm’s Role
Marvel Rivals fans take to social media to discuss NetEase Games' new hero shooter and request a role change for the popular X-Men hero, Storm.
Redditor ajlk1620 recently posted a video of Jeff the Land Shark's ultimate ability catching a player outside of its animation. The video is shown from the perspective of someone playing Mantis in the game's practice range. While Mantis stands still, Jeff the Land Shark's ultimate ability activates nearby. The hero is close to the animation, but she does appear to be standing outside of it. Unfortunately, the player is still swallowed up by Jeff, revealing a potential issue with the ability's hit box. Many fans seem concerned about the issue, as Marvel Rivals players can team up with Scarlet Witch or spit an entire team off the map while using Jeff's ultimate ability.
Jeff’s Ultimate Ability May Ensnare Players Outside of Its Animation in Marvel Rivals
Fellow Redditors were quick to weigh in on the potential issue with Jeff's ultimate ability, stating many of them felt they were caught by the attack while outside of its animation. Some fans even complained about flying characters like Storm and Iron Man being caught by the ability while in the air, which doesn't seem like it should happen. Fortunately, players are not helpless in the face of Jeff's powerful ability. Another Marvel Rivals player revealed Jeff's ultimate can be stopped if Wolverine uses Feral Leap to pin down and knock out the shark during the attack.
Despite a few complaints from the game's community, Marvel Rivals recently celebrated gaining 20 million players since launch. It would seem the hero shooter is off to a great start, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon. In addition to new skins frequently entering the shop, leakers have revealed that characters like Human Torch, Blade, and The Thing are already in the game's files. While there's no way to know when the characters may enter the game, leakers believe it will happen sooner rather than later. With so much to look forward to, many fans are feeling enthusiastic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
