That's the name of one of my first characters in this game! My second, and my first main. His color coding was black and white too! He was a Grav/FF controller... but Jeebus. Awww. I feel hurt. I made him a full year and 2 weeks ago

Well, it's good to see some things never change. Blasters can't even catch a [censored]ing break in the god[censored] trailers.

Well Synapse has 48K HP and is alot tougher than any Blaster. He just happens to have the electric attacks.

I think Ghost Widow is a Gravity Controller of sorts... at least if she is not I like her power set already.

She did, essentially, an AoE Lift/Telekinesis. With energy snakes.
Gravity and Mind Control don't have AoE Lift/Telekinesis. With or without cool energy snakes.

Curious . . . the ghostly woman has interesting powers . . .
Pity she seems corrupt. Perhaps she doesn't realize she doesn't need to join such destructive forces to be accepted as what she has become.
Or maybe she's just sadistic and/or power hungry.

Ok so his name is Foreshadow since almost 9 times out ten in comics a hero's name has something to do with either his persona or his powers, maybe he has some sort of precognitive powers that may be showing up with the arrival of CoV, though i bet he didnt see the energy snakes coming. Or maybe he did. Anyone notice he and Statesman shared a look and then nodded before proceeding to battle as if they knew they were going to get beat on so had a contingency plan of some type.

I have noticed a disparity, I think, between game and comic.
In the new Mark Waid CoH comic, Synapse is a MA/SR scrapper.
In the game, he's an elec/elec blaster?
So which is right?

I made a character who is insane, but fights crime anyway. Part of the deal is that he's gagged, but communicates telepathicly. Only problem is, no good gag item.
Well, there is in CoV.. I guess he'll be bad!
[/ QUOTE ]
Hmm, I note also in that screenshot, that they finally have included what I've been asking for for months now: blinders. Chains, bandages, something to cover the eyes, in other words. Helmets and dark glasses just aren't the same thing. It looks like they'll be for villains only, but that's cool...thanks to this trailer, it looks like I'm going to be playing CoV anyway.
Btw, Ghost Widow, it hardly needs saying, owned. Yeah yeah, you can say that the Hero team needed a Tank all you want, but everyone knows that Controllers are the important ones. They just can't do a lot by themselves.
I'm definitely looking forward to the Energy Snakes/* powersets.
Loved it. Arachnos was well-animated. Or should I say, "articulated".
I also like the fact that they used actual game sounds for powers.
So was that a super-strength sound for Statesman's "nerf-punch" to the face? I'd heard rumors of energy melee. I've also heard "incarnate". More grist for the mill...
Still trying to figure out the physics on that punch, though. Looks like he's getting knocked down in the slowmo, then he ends up with knockback.

Hmm, go back and watch the old CoV trailer from last year, and you'll note that Statesman taking the punch by Recluse, er excuse me LORD Recluse...reacts pretty much the same as Scirocco does via Statesman's punch. Could mean something.
...
Of course, it could be the fact that pretty much everybody looks the same when they get hit in the face in slow-motion, but hell, why let the obvious answer stop anyone from rampantly speculating.

Almost, the guy's name is Foreshadow
Why? He was living up to what the devs apparently believe a Blaster's role is...
<ul type="square">
1. Do Ranged Damage (Pay no attention to the melee attacks all over the secondaries or that Range = Defense is a joke.)
2. Die[/list]Not necessarily in that order. Synapse got faceplanted, then did the ranged damage. Albeit as the projectile.
