Marvel Tōkon reveals the Knights of Doom

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls used State of Play to give the villains their moment, revealing the Knights of Doom with Magneto, Green Goblin and Carnage joining the roster. That is a very strong fighting-game pitch because Arc System Works understands how to make characters look like they are breaking the screen while still being readable. Doctor Doom already gave the game a heavy villain anchor, and adding Magneto, Green Goblin and Carnage makes the roster feel meaner in the best way. The trick will be balance. Marvel fighters thrive on chaos, but good chaos still needs rules, counters and enough clarity to keep matches from becoming fireworks with health bars. If Arc gets that balance right, Marvel Tōkon could be a very loud August fighter.
