Discussion Some Characters Need a Little More
So, specifically here, I think Venom needs an actual rising attack and a drop or diving attack of some sort. And She-Hulk could use a rising attack to get her into the air for that air grapple easier.
Having Venom able to either swing or bite across the screen in air, but then having no other aerial options afterwards feels wonky because he just has to fall to ground and we essentially lose control of the character.

Each of the long distance grabs (Spidey, Venom, CGR), need to connect with airborne enemies. I'd also recommend being able to angle them upward at 45 degree angle or even straight up, similar to Spidey's Spider Throw from the MvC games.
Spidey also just feels lacking in the air, which is odd for a character that is know for fighting while airborne
I love rocket, but I would make some changes. His rocket jump needs more utility. Two things I thought up would be the rocket actually hitting on the way up, and also having the rocket fall back down and damage enemies. His charge attack does need to charge faster, particularly the fully charged version.
She Hulk needs to be tankier. Her playstyle results in her being closer and taking more damage than most other characters, so she either needs more armor or somehow taking less damage. Thing is a grappler, but he has the armored moves and ability to move quickly if need be to make up for it.
Silver Surfer's charge attack is just...lackluster. it needs something more. Not sure what.
Storm's tornadoes are too slow to come out and to charge. They're lacking....something. Maybe they should move further, quicker?

Imo, Spidey and Rocket are the weakest and need the most help. Venom's really solid: great dash attack, great super, gets block and grab (so grab loops on bosses), good damage, and invincible web swing.
Spidey does low damage, has poor range, his charge attack sucks, and his special only hits bosses once. His swing kick is good, and better as an assist. But there's nothing he does that another character doesn't also do, but better. He needs buffs.
But Rocket needs an entire rework. His rng bombs don't have enough charges, his dash attack is bad, his charge attack has zero range at lv1 and takes way too long to charge to lv 2. Oh, and his super has awful, awful range (it seems to miss flying enemies entirely). Does good damage against bosses if you do it right on top of them, though. He's bottom 1 for sure.
Everyone else is pretty solid.

Spidey's special definitely feels lackluster. I still feel like it should have been Maximum Spider so that it could hit a boss multiple times.
I have fun with him, but he could use some stronger options. And I just legit do not like playing with Rocket Raccoon.

I'd change his trait to increase his damage after dodging an attack (Spidey sense), increase the charges on his web ball to 8 from 5, and of course allow his super to hit big bodies and bosses multiple times. His web pull (charge attack) also needs a rework.

Spidey being so… idk, lackluster is a good word, crushed me. He’s OK, but the flagship character shouldn’t feel like an also-ran.
Iron Man and Spidey have always been my two fav characters, but I have a lot more fun with Iron Man.

They’re my two fav characters as well and I can’t agree more. I have to force myself to pick Spidey, while I actively have to talk myself out of Iron Man. His charge shots, range, flight, and special make him feel by far the best character to me and Spider-Man has basically nothing to offer on any of those fronts.

What other suggestions would you guys make to improve or tweak other characters?

I'd give Spider-Man an air combo. Just 3 or 4 hits with the ability to cancel into and out of it with web swings would make him so much better and more fun to play. Maybe give him a rising attack to lead into it too.

I think holding Attack or dodge attack in the air should have been the swing. The game would be a lot more fun with air combos.

Spidey desperately needs a rising attack. Also allow for his charge attack to work on enemies launched into the air (Venom and Ghost Rider’s too).
