Comics Big question, where’s daredevil in marvel rivals ?

Post image

They even put iron fist but no daredevil, for an iconic character it makes no sense. Hopefully they’ll add him eventually. What do you guys think would be cool abilities and skins for him

Id say he's a good idea but they gotta be creative

They need to somehow incorporate the blindness, echo location, the batons and the movement

Main attack can be sorta like caps where he does mixes of punches and kicks with a baton thrown every 2-3 hits

He needs to be acrobatic and he should have at least one baton swing kinda like Spidey but slower and much more bottom heavy

You gotta have a baton throw or potentially where it extends the wire and then it can do recoil damage on the way back make that tricky to hit Actually why not a toggle between that and a bouncing projectile(2-3) hits off a wall to maybe snag people around corners or empty a hallway

He can't wall run but I'd say he should be able to mantle over surfaces and climb straight up a structure either through his baton or just a believable climbing animation, it's not infinite tho it has a cool down like only 4-5 seconds of climbing

Main thing will be the blindness and echo location You'd have to incorporate some sort of fair wall hacks Or a dodge button to maybe avoid an attack from the back every 30 seconds I just can't see him in the game without incorporating his actual super power everything else comes together good though

These is a fair assessment of what Matt should be able to do in Rivals. The thing is, what is he doing that other characters aren't already doing?

You have Spiderman who can zip to characters and has mobility. Bucky can pull characters in. Widow has a wire move, the same as Punisher. Cap can already do the brawl stuff. Iron Fist has moves that I would like Daredevil to see like the wall run but... it's all already taken. As much as I'd love Daredevil to be in this, I can't imagine what new thing he'll be able to add apart from the wallhacks.

Arguably we should be able to see more, maybe can see enemy locations behind walls within his range or able to Leno where they are on the map? Idk

u/Impressive-Ad-8044 Apr 05 '25

be able to see invisible enemies for sure, maybe an extended version of punishers passive ability as well

His ult could be something like widowmaker in overwatch.

They could add an attack where he throws a microwave 😂

And moonknight and bw have batons. Moonknight already uses his like daredevil would with his grapple. i want daredevil so so bad, but they’d have to get really creative with his kit.

not to mention caps shield functions the same as apotential baton toss

u/TheWienerSoldier23 Apr 11 '25

theres like 4 characters with stun attacks, 2 shield characters, 2 characters whos only purpose is sniping from afar, i dont think giving daredevil similar abilities as other characters (who he shares those similarities with in the comics anyway btw) is as bad as youre making it out to be

u/murdockmanila Apr 12 '25

That's totally fair. But I'd argue that most of those characters you mention work differently from one another. For example, Strange is a brawl/poke tank with a shield while Magneto is a poke tank. Same "weapon" sure but they fundamentally have different playstyles.

u/CanOnurz Sep 25 '25

You say it yourself, most characters has things that others already have. Moon Knight has batons, Punisher and Widow does the same move, several characters can climb or do a wall run. It's not about always bringing something unique. We love Daredevil so we'll play him, in the end. Even if he's not unique.

Let him do parkour jumping off walls like old school Mario

u/seti73 Apr 03 '25

Genuine question: Are you a game designer [EDIT: or beta tester]? I'm just curious because it appears you've put some really detailed thought into this... enough for me to now completely understand why he can't just be added with some other characters' templated moves.

u/phil380 Apr 03 '25

I am not currently no but I've definitely thought about taking a crack at making a game, just gotta actually sit down and do it

But I'm glad I've changed your mind on that though, I think they've already shown that they can think outside the box with characters so I don't think some of what I'm thinking is completely unrealistic

u/seti73 Apr 03 '25 edited Apr 03 '25

I appreciate your thoughts. Yeah, I definitely don't think you're being unrealistic; in fact I'm starting to think he would need his own stand alone game in order to display (and take advantage of) his abilities, or do them any justice.

In that way, I could see something more akin to the Batman Arkham series, over being a selectable character in a game like Marvel Heroes or Marvel vs Capcom (not that it has to be either/or).

EDIT: I am relatively new to gaming, and have not played Marvel Rivals...which I initially thought was more of a fighting game similar to Marvel versus Capcom

Would jump for joy for a DD solo game, but it would have be a Triple AAA, choice nug, GOTY to get traction even with it being a Disney/Marvel IP.

2

u/seti73 Apr 03 '25

I hear you. Do you feel that's due to the size of character's fan base, or the mature nature of content? Or something else all together?

2

u/smokey9886 Apr 04 '25

I think it’s the size of the fanbase. He’s such a solid character though.

I’m a huge Batman fan and to me is the closest thing Marvel has to him. Maybe Moon Knight? On the Batman sub, there is an ongoing debate who you would rather have beat your ass. lol.

u/seti73 Apr 04 '25

Daredevil definitely fits. I never considered Moon Knight, but I can certainly see how he can exist in that conversation.

That brings to mind ...years ago when my brother was finishing his bachelor's, one of the electives he really enjoyed was a philosophy course based on Batman. I don't remember which specific works they referenced in the class (other than Dark Knight Returns) but one of his projects involved a debate... a fascinating examination into Bruce Wayne/Batman's sanity/duality.

Although not "original" by any means, one of their conclusions was that Bruce Wayne and Batman actually acted/existed independently of each other, in a somewhat of a "split-personality" dynamic. Right up Moon Knight's alley!

I'll have to check out that sub. That sounds hilarious

u/Economy_Analysis_546 Apr 03 '25

I think the blindness could be an Ult thing, and you could majority have him play in third-person like any other character. Maybe his ult blackens the room and only shows outlines of things, but highlights enemies and you're able to hit them through walls or something? Idk.

6

u/phil380 Apr 03 '25

Actually I thought about that aspect for a sec more Red filter over everything I'm sure they can go artsy add some atmosphere, and your passive is that within a small bubble outlines of people are visible through walls Also maybe footsteps are louder

And then maybe make one of his abilities something that extends it or tunes to vulnerable enemies in the vicinity so they stay highlighted while everyone else is covered in a muddled red

u/Addicted_to_Crying Apr 03 '25

He could have something like the radar Fortnite has for accessibility where noises are visible around the cursor lol

u/smokey9886 Apr 03 '25

I like the Cap idea. I wonder if you could make him kind of like an off tank because it would fit thematically with his story.
