VS Remix FAQ and Preview #1!

 

This years pet project has not only FLOWN by, but we are ahead of schedule for the upcoming new team injections as well!

It's been a ride!

Many of you have already seen our teaser announcing the new OCTGN compilation of VS! If not, here it is!

 

 

 

 

 

 Now obviously this leaves many people with quite a few questions. So please allow me a moment to answer some of the more common ones I am hearing here:

Can I buy physical cards from you?
-Not at this time. this project is focused on digital content only. IF players wish to print cards, we will keep image files on hand that players can obtain, but it will be YOUR resources to do so. A major help in avoiding things like "Cease and Desist" orders from those that DO own these IP's is going the extra mile to ensure this project is not a revenue stream of any kind. For now at least.

Is this a custom set?

-Remix truly is the best means to define this project. it consists of approximately 75% reprinted content. meaning most of the cards you love remain the same or similar enough to keep the nostalgic feel of the VS game you grew to love. Some were changed much more than others (coughavengerscough) as we made this original release batch purposefully avoiding including too many keywords. Expect to see most return later though!

Can I play this with original content?

-Sure, but technically, you already are! The main reason we opted to alienate the OCTGN platform for Remix from the original is to bring a newfound focus on upcoming new content! being a primarily digital project, this also allows us the ability to never need a banlist. We can simply adjust the digital files internally to avoid problematic interactions! Rest assured, we do not take this option lightly and you can expect these kinds of changes to only take place alongside a quarterly release.

How can I help? 

-There are a few major areas we still would love help with! We can always use more testers, and specifically, we'd love to track down someone proficient in Java to help us set up auto-installation and update options through OCTGN's platform directly without needing to download external content at all! Wouldn't that rock? It also goes without saying that running events, and paying for hosting has a small cost. those wishing to support us financially can now do so through the new VS System Collective Patreon!

So with that, lets walk through what you can expect to see on the 26th and beyond!

10 featured teams:
No Unaffiliated cards

New Content Injections Every Quarter!
New IP Content!

 
The Hellboy Essential Collection: (BPRD + Thule Society)

      

Purely reprinted, a true classic! expect to see consistency brought to bear in the 

removal of evasion and reservist keywords here though.

X-Men

 

 

 

You can expect to see that thing X-Men players have wanted since the dawn of time: A fantastic searcher! no really though! It is amazing! Standard recovery tricks make themselves apparent with a functional reprint of X-men assemble to further flesh out both swarm and curve options!

 

Brotherhood

The definitive power team. Lost city abuses with Avalon made them a powerhouse for as long as "Golden Age Format" was an option. Adversely an overstatted early game got legs on the back of TNB for fast finishes in the midgame. While the concepts and themes haven't changed, some legacy items were nerfed, while others might be strictly better than before. Also... no reservists. (yet at least)

Gotham Knights

Of course Fat Bat is back! The OG. Some new content focuses on characters with the identity <> Robin rather than straight reprinted content, but it is going to feel like home for many. Oh yeah. you're welcome for the new Barbara.

Arkham Inmates

If it ant broke, don't fix it. Turn em sideways and KO things. Going strong! Watch out for crowbars! They may have one of the best team-up options in the game so far!

Avengers

By far and away the most reworked re-tuned and customized team here. Wanting to stick to traditional keywords only for this release forced us to drop reservist strategies as well as leader and rally. This resulted in a from the ground-up approach focusing on team attacking that may remind you of a different golden age team entirely while staying true to a legitimate theme originally displayed.

Masters of Evil

Like Avengers, another team with a large portion of original content. Historically Masters of Evil only saw success crossing over with other teams like Thunderbolts thanks to their dedicated swarm focus. While not seeking to alienate their swarm options, our focus was a solid playable curve option and some really funky Loki stuff!

JLA

Virtually unchanged, The JLA essential focus was the DCL content that many players still have never piloted. With a few light playability options and some more friendly legend pieces this smacks of nostalgia while taking wins. Much effort was given towards giving each member of the core 7 some new content or legend support.

Secret Society

No need to change what works, expect much of the new content here to focus on Lex and Bizarro legends with a nod to Captain Cold too, making for some really unique board set-ups. Don't worry. Chemo and Riddler are back with the Ivy 3 drop.

 

Generics

Functional reprints abound! Expect to see some familiar content and be prepared for 

some great new stuff too!
