    If this character *doesn't* start showing up in PvP I'm going to have to quit the game!

    I doubt it.
    That it exists, or that I’d love to see it? I am skeptical anything actually got shot, but I can assure you I’d like to see it lol.

    I already have plans for him in the Simulator. Who knows what my roster will look like by then though.

    (PASSIVE) Big Wheel tirelessly builds momentum, proving he's not all torque. Whenever Big Wheel's team makes a match beyond the first in a turn, Big Wheel gains 1 Speed Point. If Big Wheel has 6 or more Speed Points at the start of your turn, Big Wheel spins out, rotating the board 

    I like this character

    Note that his green "removes" and doesn't destroy specials. So it won't trigger effects like BRB protect tiles being destroyed or matched, or polaris spamming the board with specials.  

    Red is cool, but it's a shame it conflicts with ShangChi's red. Would you rather destroy 5 targeted non special tiles, or rotate 8 tiles 90 degrees?

    Is the rotation random, or always clockwise? I imagine it wouldn't be counterclockwise because he would just want to be rotating forwards.  

    And his design reminds me of a particular Gundam trash unit. I forget the name of them, but they had a big tyre around them. 

    Maybe you could have MeH, Big wheel and C5rnage and get as many automatic matches as fast as possible each turn.

    His hitpoints seem respectable too. and his AP costs are just right

    This guy is really big. He took up 60% of the screen.

    His powers rotate 90 degree clockwise.

    You can create matches with his red or green but you need good visualisation skills. I'm terrible at flipping things around, so I'll use him more to practise this skill.

    There's no cap to the number of speed points because I got to 16.

    Overall this guy is fun. The animations reminds me of Sonic the Hedgehog. Sounds is similar to racing sound.

    I love it. 10/10 for making trash tier comic characters highly desirable. I’m really looking forward to building him.

    Thanks for that knowledge. Using 20 speed points, his max damage is (at 5 cover):

    1) green power deals 2383 AoE + 16,560 to a random enemy.
    2) red power deals 6502 + 28920 = 35,422
    3) blue power deals 54, 280

    3/5/5 for me since I already have a winfinite team for him.

    I need to figure out how to make a team featuring Big Wheel called "Proud Mary" make sense...

    Or Wheels of Steel, featuring Big Wheel, Dazzler, and....some other dance music themed character who is surely in the game?

    Wheels of Steel would surely use Colossus, no?

    Potentially, but the term is a slang for dj turntables, generally but not exclusively referring the Tecnics 1200 series, so I kind of wanted it to be music/dance themed...Spider-Gwen is the only other musically inclined character I can think of, but that is a real random team now...

    I'm looking forward to meeting the latest to the winfinite family.

    You know that Big Wheel keep on turning
    Special tiles keep on burning
    And we're rolling, rolling, rolling yeah (rolling)
    Rolling on your face
    I wonder if Big Wheel has insurance on his big wheel?

    Sounds like somebody needed to vote Hypno Hustler in a certain thread!

    This "joke" character is actually good!

    People are gonna be *so* mad.

    He flips tiles so fast! Impossible to keep on tracking them.
    He is one of the best board shaker in game. Creating synergies with anothers characters of the same type will be really funny. 
    I thought he would have funny animations but not. He is just a big wheel falling and rolling.
    By the way as I always play turning off them I'm not bothered.

    I have absolutely no idea what was happening during the first introducing event but it was a lot of fun - ended up with 20 speed points after turn 2, then I'd won on turn 3 and as I hadn't actually read his passive damage properly it was a pleasant surprise.

    Shang Chi got a new friend

    First impressions, not bad. Like I said earlier he tops out at 20 points which is nice and you can get them all in one turn if you can keep your combo going.  In the video, I ran him at 544 cause I really like the 4x4  tile rotation on green but I really don't think there's a bad build. Personally, I like Onslaught/PX as his best teammates but Okoye/Thor are pretty good too. The tile rotation messes with my head the way they do it, kinda wish it was just a standard rotation animation unless technical limitations keep them from doing it that way. Looking forward to getting him... someday.
