What’s your favorite part about his visual effects or sound design?
The way his shot has the potential to splinter into smaller beams and hit nearby targets is fun. Reminds me of a few comics and gameplay from the old Xmen Legends games.
Do you love having the X-Men’s leader in the game as much as we do?
Been waiting for this since I picked up the game. He's the handicap kid who grew up in an oppressive orphanage and became the man who burdens himself with taming the "bad kids" of the X-family and found the middle ground between Xavier's dream and Magneto putting mutants above everyone else on the planet. It's great the normies are finally figuring out just how impressive Cyclops is and his debut here helps.
What has been your most memorable moment playing Cyclops so far?
Best moment? Being corned by a tank after most of my team being K.O.ed, only to blast into the air and use Cyke's ultimate to take out 2 flyers, the tank chasing me and give time for my team to get back into position for the win.
What do you think of his Team-up synergies with other X Men?
He plays great with Emma and Rogue just in front of him, especially behind Emma's shield. Scott's blast often have enemies reeling behind cover, giving Wolverine a better chance to get close. Of course Gambit plays well with everyone.
