Almost, the guy's name is Foreshadow

Bah, I dislike the name Foreshadow...Kublai sounds much cooler. Artistic license.

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.
[/ QUOTE ]
Wait, isn't Positron a blaster?? Seems like he was holding his own pretty well for a bit...until he had Synapse's body thrown at him of course.

Nope. Positron's a Rad/Rad Defender. He *used* to be an Energy/Energy Blaster, but changed for unknown reasons..

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?
[/ QUOTE ]
Both. He's a Superspeeding, MA/Elec/SR/Elec DevAT :gin:

Oh. Wait he respec'ed and changed his powersets! No fair! Or maybe he just re-rolled a new character.

States: Well someone has to scout.
Manticore: I'm not doing it, I just go my suit cleaned.
Positron: Don't look at me, I'm all out of awakens.
Jet Li: Hey I'm a Natural, one of you super freaks do it.
States: Geez guys, we're heroes here, one of you has to go!
Synapse: Why is everyone looking at me? Oh I get it. Send the blaster right? I'm just going to die anyway so why not?
Manticore: Just go do it, you have SS.
Synapse: Yeah fine. Just have your rez ready Posi.
Positron: Dude, I spec'd that out last week.
Synapse: ........you guys are [censored].

War_Witch thanks for posting about Foreshadow... ya'll had everyone curious about that one.

Hmm, this will probably get modded out, so laugh at it while you can: One day I was hanging around Miss Liberty in Atlas with the usual crowd that's there, and we began making patently immature jokes and suggestive emotes. Somebody mentioned the Back Alley Brawler, and I promptly changed his name to...
The Back Door Brawler.
...Can you believe I'm NOT age 11? I blame Yahoo chat.
I hope I'm not alone in this: I want that music from the E3 video to be battle music while fighting in COH.
Seriously. that'd rule.
Lotsa stuff here that's too funny to talk about.
Yes Feixeno!
I actually liked that music... And yes, the boys over in CG land really need to put out a 10 mins minimovie of some kind.
I think most of the humor is AT based PvP.
Scrappers: pwned by the *nerf fist* Statesman power, MA/SR still gets no respect (Foreshadow), scrapper doing lame damage versus tanks.
Defenders: hung out to dry with lame damage (Manticore) or lame abilities (notice Posi didn't even bother to drop RI/EF).
Blasters: hey you guys make for nice "puppets" anyway.
Controllers: Yup, once again, pwning the place (Ghost Widow anyone?)
Tankers: what? taunt someone? I'm busy pwning this scrapper!
Sorry, that vid played like a *bad* PvP session for me.
Applying CoH rules to other situations (i.e., real-life, comics, etc.) is ALWAYS funny.
In this case, applying CoH rules to CoH is incredibly hysterical.
Stars for you, my friend. 
This is so Cool. I can't wait for CoV!
And I want the slo-mo stone fist into someone's face power!
And yeah the music was cool (couldn't listen too loudly at work though).
Posi where's the AM before going in the building? Recovery Aura?
War Witch thanks for the info, I was wondering who he was.
on Virtue:
Darkennedy dark/sonic Def
Lena Slayer NightWidow
Vengeful Woman Energy/Rad Corruptor
Hella Effing Cool cold/sonic def
Outstanding! When's the Saturday morning cartoon series coming out?? Or the full length feature?? I'll be a CoH geek and stand in line now....
Watching this makes me drool.
But I have an important questions! Will the powersets and/or costume options be available in both CoV and CoH?
I REALLY hope so, but somehow suspect that there will be exclusive sets/options to both.

I'd suspect that anything you're seeing in the CoV screenshots will be CoV only, but it's unlikely that a full breakdown will be available until release.

From what I've heard, Some costume options will be exclusive to CoV, and some exclusive to CoH- If you only own one game, you'll only get one or the other.
However, if you own *both* games, *all* costume options, Hero and Villian alike, will be available for the creation of heros *or* villians.
Its playing on the concept of "Expansalone"- two stand alone games that are prefectlly playable apart, but you get more than the sum of their parts if you own both.

Hehe, I watched Sirocco nose crunch 4 or 5 times.
Isn't anyone else a little worried that at the end it says Coming "Soon"

I even saw him using Crippling Asskick. Even geko wouldn't take that power and he designed it.

Actually Foreshadow uses Thunder Kick, followed by Dragon's Tail.
I'll say this, watching Manticore teleport into action made me respect teleport for once.
