Hero Up! Super Hero Squad Online Discussion (2.0)

[Beast]

Welcome to Officially Unofficial CBR Super Hero Squad Online Discussion thread. Wow... it's kinda shocking that we blew through over 5,000 posts about the game since I started the original thread way back at the beginning of May. It's pretty much my most successful thread ever on CBR... (shocking given my post count)... and it's great to once again kick off the brand spanking new thread dedicated to the game here on CBR. Thanks to Global Honored!

As I mentioned in the last thread, I've long been a fan of the Super Hero Squad toyline which was Hasbro's Chibi-Like versions of Marvel characters much like the successful Star Wars version known as Galactic Heroes. That toyline has spawned numerous products including a comic book, tv series, a bunch of video games, and tons of other merchandise. Of course this thread is dedicated to the fairly addictive SHSO game that so many of us have fell in love with. While the game was designed for kids, you can see the love the designers brought to the game and our favorite heroes. It really is a good example of All-Ages.

Since the game first launched we've gotten a lot of expansions, both in the zones available... now including Asgard and Villainville. And to the number of available heroes. Now swelling to over 60 with even more coming every month. It's great to see the diversity of the featured characters as well. Everything from the most well known and beloved characters to even somewhat obscure new characters like the up and coming Monkey King. If you're looking for more info about the actual game itself, I would recommend checking out the opening post from the original version of this thread. Just follow the link at the bottom.

I'm actually really looking forward to X-Men month. I am really curious to see how they handle some of movement abilities such as Nightcrawler & Iceman's. Well, that and I got about 2 weeks that I need to save all that I can. To December!

Cable!? :) :)
Iceman looks awesome! I really can't wait to play him.
Who is Lizardling?

[Beast]

Lizardlings are just the little lizard critters that you fight on some missions. I don't recall which ones off hand.

[MissPlanetaryGirl]

Oh that makes sense. I was thinking maybe it as actually someone special since he has a special picture and all haha... But then again he is also facing the wrong direction...

[Drakoniz]

Cable & Nightcrawler look really cool! Actually.. So does Onslaught.

[Beast]

Kinda shocked they're doing a mission with Onslaught before some of the other X-Men Badies.

Apocalypse seemed likely well before we got something like Onslaught. But who am I to complain.

[dimster28]

just curious, why start new topic, is there reason why 5000 is limit?

i know i am childish as this take me less 1 min but hate to remove favorite place to that thread then add new one to this lol

[Blonde Rogue]

Oh My God.
I cant wait!
Thank you so much for all this great delicious news!

dimster28, the mods put a cap at 5000 posts to a thread because of the strain on CBR's servers for search, index and archive services.

If in case you have not done so already, I strongly suggest you read the various FAQs and community guidelines of the CBR forum.

Anyway, looking forward to making more SHSO avatars.

[Aktinos]

Oooo, A bullseye mission!

Great find, Womprat2000!

I had heard a lot of the characters coming for X-Men month... but did not hear about Cable! Whoa! Cool!

Y'know what's interesting about the Lizardling picture...?
(Besides the fact that he is wearing what appears to be a leather jacket...)
He is facing the direction the Heroes do..! Curious.. Hmmm...?



I'm surprised they are bringing Onslaught in so early...
but I had a feeling he might be the villain for X-Men month since we have seen him on a one of Wasp's cards...

[Optimus Prime]

After buying all the missions and picking up almost all my wanted heroes when they had the big sale, I let my subscription end at the end of October, but as soon as the X-Men releases start up I'll be right back in!

I can't wait for Nightcrawler, Beast, and Iceman! I wish they would bring in an X-Mansion zone with a Danger Room in it.
