As a lifelong Marvel enthusiast with a soft spot for the quirky and the powerful, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming release of Marvel Rivals! The addition of Iron Fist and Squirrel Girl to the roster is a dream come true, as these characters embody everything that makes Marvel comics great – epic martial arts battles, adorable animal sidekicks, and a healthy dose of humor.

The latest addition to Marvel Rivals has demonstrated the fighting styles and unique skills of its newly introduced characters, Iron Fist and Squirrel Girl. Following a year-long period of beta testing and character introductions, Marvel Rivals is set for a full release on December 6. Currently, there are 33 confirmed characters slated for Season 0, with the final five being revealed in the game’s launch trailer over the weekend.

In the gaming world, I just got my hands on a fresh wave of Marvel Rivals characters, and let me tell you, these guys are something else! There’s Black Widow, the secretive Avenger who’s always one step ahead; Cloak and Dagger, the crime-busting duo that works like a well-oiled machine; the modern Iron Fist, Lin Lie, packing a powerful punch; the fan favorite Squirrel Girl, surprisingly mighty for her size; and last but not least, the legendary X-Men member Wolverine. This new batch really beefs up the roster with both familiar faces from Marvel Comics and some lesser-known superheroes. Each character brings their unique abilities to the table, adding fuel to the fire in Marvel Rivals’ fast-paced, six versus six arena shooter battles!

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that the talented crew behind Marvel Rivals has just unveiled two exhilarating gameplay previews – one for Iron Fist and another for Squirrel Girl! Let me tell you about Iron Fist first, a formidable Duelist in Marvel Rivals. He engages his adversaries up close, utilizing swift kicks and rapid punches in martial arts combat. But that’s not all – Iron Fist can scale walls like Spider-Man, rejuvenate his health by meditating, and amplify the force of his blows with the mighty dragon’s power for additional damage!

Iron Fist Marvel Rivals Move Set

  • Duelist with close-range martial arts attacks.
  • Healing meditation.
  • Dragon-charged physical and projectile attacks.

Squirrel Girl Marvel Rivals Move Set

  • Duelist with long-range slingshot attacks.
  • Exploding acorn attack.
  • Squirrel stampede special attack.

In contrast to other versions of Squirrel Girl, this Marvel Rivals character functions primarily as a ranged combatant, employing a slingshot to attack enemies from a distance and hurling enormous, explosive acorns for extra damage. Just like her nickname suggests, she can summon her squirrel companions to charge at adversaries, potentially causing harm to multiple opponents simultaneously. Reflecting Squirrel Girl’s humorous personality, her actions are frequently accompanied by speech bubbles and expressions from her pet squirrel on her head. This squirrel also helps in supplying ammunition for her main attacks.

On December 6, 2024, you’ll have the chance to play Iron Fist and Squirrel Girl when Marvel Rivals officially goes live. This is also the start of Season 0 for Marvel Rivals, a season focused on Doctor Doom’s ambition to rule the Marvel multiverse via his malicious “Time Experiments.” Expect an abundance of unique stages and extra content during the inaugural season of Marvel Rivals, including exclusive Twitch Drop prizes and alternative skins for characters like Captain America.
