Well SNK released this photo just now. Looks like theres some winter based units and here's my speculations out of them. Snowball Soldier (Wondering the snowball will protect for some shots) Snowman (Lol what?) Bear (Hoping for a new nice melee) Red R-Shobu (More damage and HP?) Red MH-6 (Omg is the whole squad line going across like the samurai planes gonna be a thing? Yes please) Also its seems like there's gonna be an affiliation boost. I'm hoping this is gonna change the meta and it opens up so many different options. Man, I better start get on the drawing to make myself a Ptolemaic and Rebel army.
i think there will be 3 affiliations, regular army, mordens army and ptolemaic army...if so, it will be great if they add the venusians too, the evil alien race
I'm wondering if you need all 10 slots to have a bonus, or its just like certain amount like 5 with 10 same faction slots having a better bonus.
Finally at last my just for fun morden army deck will pay off hahahaha. And when I saw that snowman I was like wtf? Lmao.. prob it will be the miner placing it on the field maybe? And when units get close it might either attack or a certain unit might spawn out of it? And looking at the new r shobu and the mh 6 pack.. I am glad I bought the slug flyer.. be prepared to face ppl with half the deck full of air units.. on the bright side.. be ready for free ap if you counter them. Also.. that bear from metal slug 4 did melee damage.. so I guess it might be a early unit replacement for claw or leona? Btw guys tomorrow is the update for android so save your medals.. Ima get that snowman just for the fun of it lol.. prob the soldier eith the rolling snowball as well.. I dint go for the high units.. I usually buy the stupidest fun looking ones just for the fun of it lol Hopefully next update they put the amadeus syndicate.. and that shaman guy from ms5 that came back to life... also put the purple version of the maggots.. bro theres so many units to be put in this game xD Btw.. did any of you guys played metal slug 6? I never did.. and I seen ppl talking about venusians.. I know they from ms6.. whats so cool about them I'm curious... And was metal slug 6 badass? I only played till mslug5.. and I was happy to use my slug gunner haha xD
I doubt they're gonna put in anymore units in this update, there already a lot of them. Metal Slug 6 was my least favorite out of the bunch. The background doesn't seem like that usual "metal slug" hand drawn masterpiece, just some computer graphics baloney. Also they changed the sound effects for EVERYTHING (Good bye rocket lawnchair ;-; ), and seriously, changing the sound made it seem like not Metal Slug. Also, it might just be me, but I hated how they threw the Rebel-Martian alliance to you so quickly (After Mission 2). I always liked it when it was the final level and the Rebel would help you, like Metal Slug 2/X an 3(<-Masterpiece Metal Slug)
I meant next next update lol And yea I heard they changed the sound from the guns... hahaha I love that "rocket lawnchair" sound lol and is it "two machine guns"? Or "dual machine guns? I can't quite tell.. and my favorite is mslug x and 3.. I liked how many options you had to finish a mission in the 3rd.. I liked mslug five but the slide feature was annoying.. I died a lot cuz of it lol but I liked the ptolemaic army haha I feel bad for the brave flying tara who committed suicide to blow that spaceship up.. I always laugh when I see it lol but I feel bad as well xD
It wouldn't surprise me if there's a "christmas pack", or at least, something along those lines. It'll probably be possible to get a few of the new units together at discount through it, but the pack itself will cost a fair few medals. At least, that's the sort of thing they've been doing for a while now when new units come out. That sounds about right. To my memory, they showed up in probably Metal Slug 3... (or was it 4? That had an ice area too...) Soldiers jumped out of some of them. Your commandos could be turned into snowmen too (by the yeti's ice breath attack), but that was bad, because it completely immobilised you - you had to button mash to get out. I thought it was ok. Wouldn't peg it as my favourite, by any means. The venusians are probably the most memorable unit that title had to offer - if only because you fight a lot of them. "Oh look, another screen-load of venusians jumping all over the screen like Sonic the ****ing Hedgehog... Oh look, they killed me again." That wretched slide command! In a game where you often need to fire in all directions, and constantly need to keep moving, down + jump is a bad combo to use as an action trigger! IIRC, for 6 they moved it to the D button. Or was that the vehicle self-destruct combo? Can't remember... I think 5 was also the first title to remove the moment of invincibility you got when jumping out of a vehicle. Granted, that was very abusable, but still...
[ They might do a bundle prob.. It was 4.. And rebel soldiers would jump out.. it was funny to watch your character being turned into a snowman.. depending on your character the snowman would resemble your features.. tarma's sunglasses and fio's cap was hilarious lol That was annoying cuz they would shoot those ice balls non stop.. I would smash every single button just to get out lol Damn they were that annoying? [/QUOTE] You could still do it with the slug gunner on 5.. on 4 you couldn't last much with the bradley cuz it didn't flinched and had no immunity when got hit so it received constant damage
I'm actually kinda interested in making an air deck work. I've recently faced this guy on 1v1 and his deck had MH-6, Slug Flyer, R-Shobu, Slug Copter, Hi-Do, Flying Tara Ver P.M, Flying Tara, Claw Unit, Donkey Slug, and some other unit I don't remember. I remember when facing him, I couldn't touch anything. Maybe a stall type deck with air element would work? Ofc slug fliers would the greatest threat to this type of deck, but I kinda want to see how it works out.
Update is up and seems like there were more units than expected Winter Rebels are here, nearly the same as their green counterpart, although the Winter ones seems to have better specials. Now with the normal expected ones Snowball Rebel: 2400 HP at Lv20, AP 70,Normal production. This seems like the like a weaker subway, although it doesn't automatically knockback when you're hit by it. Thought it was gonna be a counter to Leona, was very disappointed (60 Medals) My rating: 3/5 Bear: 5200 HP at Lv20, AP 160, Slow production. Omg this bear. This bear is finally something that can compete against the Claw Unit, only 60 ap more expensive. This thing kills a sasquatch in two hits, this thing I can see being a powerhouse in early-mid game. (120 medals) My rating: 5/5 Snowman:This thing is pretty unique. When the snowman gets destroyed, a Rebel pops out. Other than its unique feature, I wouldn't recommend this unit. Even if you decide to hoard all your snowmen in front of your base and release them all in a hoard attack, still not worth it. (50 medals) My rating: 2/5 Regimental MH-6s (A.K.A Red MH-6): 2000 HP at Lv20, AP 200, Slow production. While it doesn't go shooting like the Samurai planes, this thing will cover a lot more ground than the normal MH-6s. It also seems to be less vulnerable to AA fire, as it has more Hp than usual and it flies higher than normal (Although a Slug Flyer special should still hit them) It a better MH-6, and its pretty decent. My rating: 4/5 Red R-Shobu: 2800 HP at Lv20, AP 320, Slow production. Well I must say I'm quite surprised with this unit. It actually quite different from the normal R-Shobu. It shoots two missiles while steadily going up and going back like Metal Rear and Trevor's special (Although not as far). It does this for three times before dropping its bombs. The catch is, this R-Shobu has a special and its special is shooting four missiles going up and back (Usually can activate two specials before leaving). In fact I had my Red R-Shobu go up so high, I couldn't see it. Comparing the Red R-Shobu with the normal one, the normal R-Shobu is meant to deal damage quickly and get out of there. The Red R-Shobu has a safety priority, allowing it to deal all of damage and thanks to its special, can deal more damage overall. Just 10 medals more expensive than the normal one, this is definitely better imo. My rating: 5/5 Also my thought on the affiliation I found you don't need all 10 slots to be filled to get the bonus and the bonus is same no matter how many slots you filled. There seems to be 5 affiliation so far: Rebel Ptolemaic Regular Army Aliens (zombies included) Misc (Things that don't have an alliance to anyone) Its really tricky to form any decent decks with the affiliation, and may not be worth making an affiliation deck. The easiest one would be the Rebel army, but besides boss units, the Rebel affiliation has no good early/med game units. I think its not gonna change meta as much SNK would want to.
The Winter Bazooka's special seems to have infinite range, it is just me? Maybe winter bazooka will become the new Utan lolol
Just tested it out on the longest map I know, Final Stage 3, it goes from start to the end. Just wow, I see potential in the Winter Bazooka. And only for 10 medals? I'm just guess this is a bug, but if it isn't this unit is gonna see some play.
I tried your theory and it does :0 wtf lol try it on the map where you fight jupiter king in metal slug 3.. the foundry thing.. the bazooka kept on going all the way to the spawning soldier from the base.. this might come in handy for utan rush hahaha xD Btw.. the winter infantry man has better range than the hazmat.. throws grenade from a distance a rebel riffleman would.... its mine is quite useless tho.. the rebel riffleman's special makes him crouch which makes sense finally lol that ####er takes cover on his other teammates xD the firework thrower seems a bit better than the regular one.. but together they unleash a devastating nonstop barrage of firewirks xD I fought againsta duded with the rolling snowball dude.. he managed to kill a lv armor from my partner.. seems like a shield type offensive but seems like a space taker.. ima buy it after I buy the snowman lol I bought the winter soldier pack "warning" the winter paratrooper is not included" I fell fir it lol I thought it was included but oh well xD
Winter Bazooka is a strong early game unit, played like 10 matches so far (Not a lot of people), especially in long map, able to take on threats like Girida-O, Donkey, Claw, Leona from the long map. Shorter maps they're not as effective, but they're worth taking as its super cheap of 10 medals.
