The one-on-one rules are interesting. Not groundshaking but interesting.
I suppose some spoiled dials were too much to ask, eh?

I was hoping for something a lot more inventive for the one on one rules. It is pretty much play the game with one figure instead of a bunch of figures, it seems like kind of a huge cop out. But the set does still look awesome and I will just have to try to come up with something more creative on my own.

You mean one at a time? Because you're supposed to play at least 2 matches, and decide beforehand how many you'll be playing. And points accrue at the end of each match too, with an advantage for underdogs? I like it.
I like the rules. They seem like they will play very much like a fighting video game, with new characters "spawning" for defeated characters.
Still debating on whether or not to get these for use with regular HC. I, too, would like to see some dials...

I've been looking forward to SF since it was announced. WK made the right decision to make post-GL gravity feeds (mini-sets) available at brick and mortar stores/comic shops.
1-On-1 Rules are much simpler than I expected. However, smaller/specific maps may make this style of play more enjoyable, as you're basically playing a standard game with one figure at a time, using a mechanic similar to the Batman: Alpha "Recruit" rule to bring in new characters.
The Time Zone map inserts, B:A and Horrorclix minimaps are perfect for this style of play.

The 1-on-1 rules look like fun! Might try them out in a regular tourney soon. The victory points rules essentially ensure no power gaming dickery like running a 200-point fig against a bunch of 50-pointers, as
the huge point difference would reduce the victory points to 0 and
Winning is based on points alone.
Simple and balanced!
Where are the one-on-one rules? The link on the article isn't directing me to where I can find them.
I'm glad for fans, but I'll pass. My sincere hope is that they're not sold at TRU or Target because that would suck for those who are digging on this.

Ok, this is totally beast. I can't wait to see some Capcom Heroclix dials. The fact that they're compatable with all HC products is a real bonus.
Now we can play Marvel VS. Capcom for real! Yeehaa....

Again with the:
Street Fighter is completely compatible with all of your other HeroClix figures!
I sure wish that meant Modern Age legal as well!
Maybe it will someday soon, we just need to RIOT a bit more! :)

I noticed that also.
Even if they had posted it previously, one would think that they would make sure to list in it their actual "on their own website news article" about the game.
Not interested in these. They do look good, though. If the physical sculpts match the digital sculpts reasonably well, anyway.

With only two figures fighting the dice just need rolled and dials turned. The strategy I would think isn't nearly as prominent as it is in "normal heroclix"(?).

You know this thought had crossed my mind. I think they could have done better if they really want it forgotten.
They seriously need to stop saying these sets come with "custom dice".
the Green Lantern "custom dice" had green dots. they were the same small, cheap dice as before.
The figures look great though, and four maps is definitely cool.

The Player's Guide, because it says only DC and Marvel Heroclix pieces are Modern Age legal.
We had a long discussion about this a month or two back.
I was very sad about it, because it would also mean that Lord of the Rings, Halo, Gears of War, and any other property they make would not be Modern Age legal (as of the current status quo). :(
Here's one thread about it:

I think people need to remember that DC and Marvel were kept separate originally. Some people may not like the idea of these other licenses joining in but it may be inevitable.
I want to be open to the idea but certain licenses would be a little weird mixed with DC/Marvel clix. Then there are others that to me fit seamlessly.

Good for mod fodder. Akuma's hair plus, well, the rest of Ryu equals a Super Saiyan... You know, the type of character Ken, Ryu and Akuma were tributes of in the first place.
Ryu = Goku (suit is same, minus color. Hadouken looks pretty much like a Kamehameha. (ESPECIALLY once SF made it a beam that takes up half the screen.
Buying the starter for 3 reasons
1. Mod fodder
2. Try out the 1v1 style
3. In hopes the sales will bring forth a better fighting game to the Heroclix world: Mortal Kombat
Need to find a piece with long enough hair or another method to make Super Saiyan 3...

Might we not arguably have a case of false advertising here, then? If they can't be played with Marvel and DC clix in Modern Age games, they're not entirely fully compatible, right?

It would be terrible to bring the 1-on-1 play to Heroclix without informing your opponent on how it's scored.

when street fighter came out there were no saiyans, goku was a little monkey boy with a cloud and a staff and a plot(taken from an ancient Chinese story), they didn't really resemble him besides generic karate fighter clothes, the fireball tricks are similar but weren't in the first game, second game was made flashier so people actually played it

Dragon Ball is based on the story Journey To the West by Wu Chen-en, and is considered to be one of the four great classic novels written during the Ming Dynasty (c. 1500-1582).

Meh, I might pick up a couple or at a minimum the starter pack. But I'm upset by this whole two different sets of figures thing they're doing. I understand (somewhat) why they're doing it. Make it easier to break into the game, create more demand, drive prices, etc. But those of us on a tight budget, I can't afford to be getting all of these. And (at least for the recent GL figs) the starter set figures don't stack up well against their gravity feed counterparts. If you're going to do varying packages of these figures (Starter sets and Gravity Feeds), at least make them the same dials. If you want to put incentive figures only available in the GF, fine, but at least make the ones that are the same have the same dial and stats. Too frustrating.
Again with the:

I'm with you. Just can't justify plunking my cold hard down on SF figs unless they are Modern Legal.

I think at the very least, Wizkids needs to make some kind of official statement about all the new properties and their Modern Age "legality," and the reason behind whatever they have decided.
If it's a DC/Marvel thing, dictating the course of the game, I understand.
If it's because they don't want people playing Frodo with Superman, I don't understand. We see much worse on the maps already.

So you're complaining because they're giving us options? Really?
FWIW I disagree with your opinion on the GL figs. The Abin Sur in the FF Pack is far more useful than the GF Abin Sur, and the FF Pack Guardian is Rockin'. At the very least the two versions of those 6 figures give options.
I have no problem with the number of these. If you give them the same dials, the FF Packs become Classics Packs, which aren't nearly as cool and don't sell nearly as well (they pull from regular set demand, instead of complementing it). The ONLY problem I have with SF Clix is the rumor that they will be set up in a CURSR distribution. I'll collect all the GF pieces if they are the same rarity, but not if I need to buy multiple GF Displays to chase after the Rares and Super Rares. I LOVE having a limited number of additional dial options though!

It would be frustrating to buy the starter pack for the rules and map, then buy a few boosters and end up with the EXACT same figures with the same dials you already have.
I think it's better the way they currently have it. Like a spin off of the old REV versions.

06/23/2011, 15:52
DC VS Mortal Kombat will be fun...add a Fatality mechanic to let you try to roll 2D6 after KOing a figure and if you get the right result, score additional Victory Points.
As for the 1 VS 1 rules, it seems like GSX Madrox could prove to be fun ( and if you get to regen after Knocking a figure out.) AN Beast Boy and Wonder Twins can bring a tool box style of play by being able to transform to take on each figure that comes out.

06/23/2011, 16:56
they say it is compatible because it uses the same rules and you can make teams to fight dc/marvel teams, that is why they are saying it is compatible. you know you can play this game for fun and you dont have to always play modern or silver age stuff.
and also to clear some things up what people have been saying about the 1v1 rules
quote from the rules last paragraph on the second page of the pdf:
"alternate play
you and your opponent decide on a total number of points and a total number of figures. Each player brings a forve equal to the point and figure total agreed upon. Players then randomly decide which chracters battle first and which figures battle next. play then proceeds the same way"

No, because they are not legal for tournament play. They are legal in Golden Age which means they work in conjuction with every other Heroclix ever made regardless of when it was released.
You just can't use them in a sanctioned tournament.
I don't know why they made that decision, but they did.

Something which onmigeist clearly already knew based on how he described Goku. It would take significant personal effort for someone nerdy enough to play Heroclix to not know at least some facts about Journey to the West, even if it was just the TV series :)
