The time has finally arrived. Ladies and gentlemen, we have prayed for times like this, to rhyme like this, to kill vampires like that. All right, y'all get the point, right? Ultimately, Blade has been teased for quite some time. And if I was to pull up every single scenario where this man was teased to oblivion, y'all would think I was lying. So one of the things I wanted to pull up was Blade June 10th.

And y'all already know I'm going with this for those who've been following Marvel rivals. Ladies and gentlemen, let me just show you something right quick. So as far as Blade, he had something going on very interesting, right? This man was in a certain bed, right? He was resting and stuff. So they was like, Blade was first on this other map. I forget it was like some hellish type map. And he was captured, literally.

during Black History Month, we was thinking to ourselves, but then he escaped. And then they put him in this little bed place where he was resting. And so we was thinking, well, at least, you know, he's resting on Black History Month. And then ladies and gentlemen, on June 19th, this man was freed from the bed. Net ease knows exactly what they was doing because, of course, as you see, everybody was like, Blade woke up on Juneteen. Everybody had the same reaction. It was a lot of tweets like this.

It wasn't just this one. But in general, I'm not going to say we've been put through the rinker. But when it comes to Blade and Marvel rivals, ultimately, we've figured out that NetEase knows exactly what we want for this game. And they are now giving it to us. So with that being said, let's get into the actual reveal trailer finally for Blaze. We get to see what he actually looks like in action because we've been teased for quite some time. So analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the VIII. video along with the audio we are about to get into the character reveal of blade right now and right off

the bat i'm not going to lie two swords in the shotgun like this man is already showcasing to be the devil may cry of the marvel rival's character selection like as far as a running gun or a run-and-slash type of play style where you can choose which one i'm already sold now obviously you know what i'm saying you can say i'm a little biased but you know that's you know that's a little you i'm just objectively judging the weapons that he's using and how the overall aesthetic looks and i'm just saying it looks amazing to me so let's keep going and he's blocking with it like that's just fire also i reacted to marvel rivals uh let me see if i can find this let me just say y'all not slicking at ease like somebody got to call y'all out because at some point we're

gonna give y'all r-r rating y'all keep acting like y'all t for team showing off stuff like this. Hold on. Let me let me showcase. So ladies gentlemen, if this game is T for team, scenes like this should not exist. You guys see that's the problem. If we're looking at a kids game and a whole time, there's a whole music video where all type of suggestive stuff going on the screen, I'm gonna start calling y'all out. Y'all not T for teen. Y'all trying to be adult swim. Y'all trying to be family guy and y'all just don't want to admit it. The type of Guna skins that are in here.

One, I think it's because certain people can't control themselves out here buying $50 micro transactions as far as skins and stuff. But two, naease, y'all need to be putting horny jail. Now, with that being said, let's continue. Y'all saw I didn't bring up Emma Frost. If I brought up her character model, y'all know exactly what I'm talking about. I can't do that to the little Timmy's of the world. Now, I like that camera angle because it kind of showcased like, it's like an AOE effect,

but it's also where, I think it's where you jump. I don't think he goes directly to the. Like if you would have did that at the bottom, I don't think it would have landed. Like him jumping up there is pretty fire. It reminds me of when, I'm trying to think. Yeah, when you're a doctor strange, it's like the opposite. Sometimes you want to do your old when you're falling because then people don't have like as much time to react to it. Because if you just do it right in front of their face, like, oh, he's about to, oh, shoot him in the face.

Right. So I like that attention to detail as far as how to use Blades ultimate effectively. I mean, obviously, we won't know until. really gets into the player's hands but it's a nice showcase and his kit like that's just that's just that's just tough that's tough it's tough like that's that's that's the description i have for it that is tough as you can see right here blade is coming to marvel rivals august 8th of this year so that's not too far out let me see how far is that it's like seven days i'm tripping yeah so um blade is coming soon And with that being said, I think Blade could ultimately, because the numbers for Marvel rivals is already through the roof.

Like if you look at Steam, it fell off a little bit. Not going to lie to you. It did fell off. It fell off a little bit. But it regained its status. And now it is currently the fourth most played game on Steam. It used to be around 13 or 15 as far as the most played game because it slipped a little bit, right? It still hasn't hit its all-time peak because its all-time peak is 64,000.

and that happened seven months ago. But as far as right now, 24 hours is at 125,000. That's beyond a healthy game. And obviously, as I said, it's the fourth most played game on Steam. And not only that, it's not on Xbox the last time I checked. So I'm just going to go to PlayStation. Okay, I'm pretty sure it's not on Xbox. But as far as PlayStation, it is, that's the wrong one.

Three, six, seven, eight. It's the eighth most played game on PlayStation. currently. So this game's not falling off. A lot of people saying this fall enough. I'm like, where? I'm like, Nate E's has not hit that panic button yet. I think the characters that's going to bring people back if it actually starts to struggle for real is Thanos and Dr. Doom. Thanos and Dr. Well, I'm tripping. Deadpool. I don't even know why Deadpool didn't come to my mind. Deadpool is the character. I think that if Marvel rivals actually starts to fall off, that's the character they'll give us. Like right now,

they're surviving off giving us Blade, Phoenix. What was last season? Last season was Emma Frost, which granted, all for the wrong reasons, Emma Frost went crazy. Y'all know why. It's the same. It's similar. I'm surprised

Emma Frost ain't get the what's her name? I'm tripping right now. The one girl in the Gene commercial. Let's see. Levi Gene commercial. I'm surprised Emma Frost didn't get the Sydney Sweeney backlash, right? Because the way that they were showing her off, you would have thought like they just put

Andos and Deadpool in the game at the same time. Like it was crazy levels of thirsty rise and it was just like brothers and sisters just thirsty across the place. I'm like goodness, can we just get back to the game? You know what I'm saying? But anyways, NETI is your fault because you deserve to be in Guna prison. So ultimately, Marvel rivals. is in a great place. Blade is coming to it August 8th and I'm very excited to get my to I was about

to get my hands on it. Goodness. You guys. See that's the problem. I can't wait to talk about Blade and basically, you know, play the game with him in it to see how he changes the meta. So that being said, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Blade being in Marvel rivals coming August 8th? And ultimately, who's been your favorite addition to the character roster so far.
