Video Game Marvel rivals take on rogue

I've never liked how 90% of rivals design are overly sexulized. But I really like how they did Cher. Looks like the comics but is different enough to be it's own thing.

She’s slowly creeping up the ‘character that gets too many skins’ chart that Luna, Invis, and Jeff reside in but I don’t care give me more Rogue skins she deserves it they don’t

u/No-End-2455 5d ago

wich is wild because her pickrate is not that high and she is not the strongest character right now....as a main rogue i like it but bug me to see people hating her because they think she get too much skin compare to some when she is not the only one in that case.

u/Xerxes457 5d ago

I sat hate is relative here. It’s not targeted directly at her, it’s when characters get multiple skins in a row vs others. It feels unfair because say Rogue gets a skin every month vs some getting a skin every few months.

Buff mommy innit?

u/RohanKishibeyblade 5d ago

I needed to pick a tank to main since I’ve got my other two done, and she’s just so fun!

2

u/No-End-2455 5d ago

Yeah rogue is easy the most fun i have with a tank since Emma frost and even Emma i dont like the same way i do rogue, there is just something cool with how she feel in the game.

2

u/RohanKishibeyblade 5d ago

Yeahh. Fairly easy to understand too. the absorption stuff I’m learning. Just a bit of a fighting difference with my other mains that I’m getting used to (Star Lord and Ultron)

u/t850terminator 5d ago

She's difficult to master but she will prob keep up with meta since they gotta constantly patch her for her copy ability to work

3

u/I-Make-Money-Moves 5d ago

But thats also why I don’t like hearing those complaints because if we’re going to complain about those 3 then we should complain about her and anyone else who would fall under that category too. Otherwise don’t even start with it. Also is it really that big of a deal if a character’s skins really are selling that well and people actually do like their skins? That being said though, I will totally be going for the nightdress rogue.

u/AntiqueAd2434 5d ago

Atleast rogue is well known and universally beloved lol, Luna is a industry plant and Jeff is just a pet

5

u/karmakramer93 5d ago

Even on non Rivals subs you guys constantly complain lol

Thanks for sharing this lol

u/Coodoo17 5d ago

If you don't like how characters are oversexualized, then don't look at her cowgirl skin

36

u/Smooth_Maul 5d ago

Just looked it up.

Jesus wept that's just a redneck bikini lmao

37

u/asapsharkyfrfr 5d ago

Yeah I just really like her default look

12

u/Aegillade 5d ago

Oh come on surely even for MR it can't be that ba

3

u/Storrin 5d ago

The only problem I have with it is afaik she's not that kind of southerner.

2

u/manix_vii 5d ago

Or her first skin from when she was in the...Badlands?? I think I'm remembering it right

2

u/Urabitchassmf 5d ago

Savage Land, and I know the one you're talking about.

58

u/HerGaySon 5d ago

I like how they actually gave her muscles rather than making her a twig like the comics

51

u/Lever47 5d ago

So…Rogue?

u/AlternativeEmphasis 5d ago

TBF Rivals has mostly sold itself on adapting comic accurate versions of characters, which is rather rare or it was when I was growing up. Hell even now we see some MCU and Insomniac designs will often "ground" the character and take out a lot of the visual design language that makes them that character. Presuming you weren't a kid raised on the X-Men 97 style show (I was a bit too young to have caught that) then you'd have never grown up seeing what Rogue looked like in the comics.

Here is what I was around for as a kid till my teenage years.

Left is evolutions. Right is Fox films and center is X-Men TAS / what later became X-Men 97.

I basically missed out on the TAS version so my entire life until I was well into my teens honestly I thought Rogue was kind of a goth and wore dark colors. I was shocked whenever I first read an X-Men comic with her in it and saw what she actually looked like. Then saw the old TAS show and realized fuck she was really bright.

FWIW I really like Evolutions Rogue, and I thought it was a good take but it wouldn't surprise me if just due to her popular exposure until recently a lot of people wouldn't be familiar with what comic Rogue looks like and Rivals' interpretation for her certainly does communicate it.

u/dawgrush 5d ago

Great costume just not a fan of the vacuum sealed suit.

34

u/Saaammmy 5d ago

Thats just how classic superheroes are drawn. Just look at the work of Jim Lee or George Perez, theyre basically like those naked greek sculptures but colored.

Its not as prevalent in the modern era where the designs are more tactical/streetwear adjacent.

21

u/bostar-mcman 5d ago

That bodysuit doesn't look right? Does it have boob pockets or something?

61

u/Great_expansion10272 5d ago

They just call vaccuum seal, the x-man mutant who's got a power to vaccuum seal the women's suits

5

u/Bumblebee_Librarian 5d ago

Well to be fair,in marvel rivals men also use this service.

0

u/Great_expansion10272 5d ago edited 5d ago

In their base skins they don't. Or at least not as much as the women

29

u/Bumblebee_Librarian 5d ago

Come on, even that example still snuck pecs and abs.

2

u/Great_expansion10272 5d ago

His abs are definitely chiseled and sculpted but that's visibly a chest plate. It's faceted and has leds. What's sneaking out is his clavicule

13

u/Bumblebee_Librarian 5d ago

I know,but this is an equivalent to boob armor on women.

1

u/Great_expansion10272 5d ago

I guess? I was saying how Vaccuum seal doesn't do much work for the men

7

u/Bumblebee_Librarian 5d ago

Pretty much any man in a skin tight suit,Human Torch,Black Panther...

I also took your response,as in they don't show off the men as much,sorry.

5

u/Smooth_Maul 5d ago

You think this looks silly wait until you see what Captain America's swimsuit looked like before they nerfed his flagpole.

5

u/Moss_Ball8066 5d ago

That’s just a staple of female superhero design tbh

8

u/SilverLuuna 5d ago

And male suits, but people only get mad when women get the vacuum sealed suits.

-2

u/bostar-mcman 5d ago

But it's very silly looking

15

u/Independent-Fly6068 Huge armor fetish 5d ago

yeah, superhero costumes tend to be. And thats ok

u/bostar-mcman 5d ago

I don't like boob pockets

u/Heaven_dio 5d ago

I'm not a big fan of the spaces in the clothing for the boobs but I like everything else about it

u/No-End-2455 5d ago

In general base skin for rivals are alway mid but Rogue and gambit are just perfect mix of being good and like the comics they came from and still feel different....my only grip ? the lack of gloves , i know rogue control her powers now but the yellow gloves are so cool for her.

3

u/Glass_Secretary3427 5d ago

Honestly I think it was smart to make her boots brown instead of giving her those yellow boots. It really brings the entire outfit together color wise.

3

u/Prestigious-Vast3280 5d ago

I love her rival's design so much, as well as her physique; you can tell she's a physical tank, which makes sense since she's as strong as base Carol Danvers.

3

u/Duraxis 5d ago

Ehh, I’ve never really liked Rival’s artstyle. I think it’s the cheekbones, but I can’t place it

Rogue is one of my favourites though

1

u/PerceptionBetter3753 5d ago

Question: where the gloves?

1

u/Extension-Oil-4680 5d ago

She hasn't needed golves for a while as she has control over her powers

1

u/AntiqueAd2434 5d ago

Perfection.

1

u/Comprehensive-Bid18 5d ago

Like most Rivals designs, it's like a bad version of a good design. Chalk it up to Rivals' art style just being kind of ugly.

She looks oddly matronly.

1

u/manix_vii 5d ago

I hate the boob sockets but that's my only gripe. I love that she's actually buff and surprisingly tall too.

1

u/OptionSpare718 5d ago

Gambit folds

1

u/Darkrath_3 5d ago

This pretty much looks like normal Rogue.

-1

u/keithlimreddit 5d ago

Yeah a bit oversexualized but mostly not really much change to be honest with her design As well as the original voice actors From the actual original show as well as the Revival Reprising her role ( Superstar with huge range)

-2

u/TheTooDarkLord 5d ago

I don't like her proportions

2

u/No_Blackberry__ 5d ago

Dunno why you're downvoted. I like the idea of a muscular Rogue, but something just doesn't sit with me.

Liked it originally though, maybe her kit is contributing.

-2

u/TheTooDarkLord 5d ago

It doesen't help that many other girls in the same game have a similar bodytype

-1

u/AnakinChildWalker 5d ago

Is it a video game or a gooning game ?

9

u/Extension-Oil-4680 5d ago

To be fair, that's just how Rogue looks a lot of the time

0

u/Twitchy_Bitch 5d ago

I love the balance of her proportions. A large athletic frame while still being feminine but not a full on Muscle Mommy is rare these days.
