As if side-scrolling beat’em up fans weren’t already feasting on Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Tribute Games are back to remind us that they have more planned. After our preview during Gamescom last year, Scott Pilgrim EX releases this March, and Matthew Patel and Robot-01 are joining the character lineup.
Per the press release – “Today’s brand-new fighters coming to Scott Pilgrim EX are two more former enemies of Scott and Ramona: Matthew Patel, a member of the series’ iconic League of Evil Exes, and Robot-01, a creation of two members of the league, the Katayanagi Twins, built to beat the snot out of Scott.“
- Matthew Patel brings theatrical flair and mystic chaos to the battlefield. With a style that blends fire and ritualistic showmanship, Patel manipulates the flow of combat like a puppet master – using his summoned demon hipsters to distract enemies, control crowds and lay traps that can tip the scales in his team’s favor. His supernatural abilities allow him to call forth extra arms, launch flame bursts and unleash devastating finishing moves imbued with mythic power.
- Robot-01, meanwhile, is all precision and punishment – rocketing across the screen with thrusters and transformations, delivering brutal blows at blistering speed. A combat unit built for mayhem, Robot-01 morphs mid-battle, fires long-range blasts and unleashes a powerful strong attack that rains explosive projectiles across the screen, clearing out crowds in a flash.
