The sport plan is gobble gobble. One among Marvel Rivals’ most endearing heroes is a assist named Jeff the Land Shark, an obvious fixture of the West Coast Avengers who, in Rivals, spends his days spitting therapeutic waters at his mates and lobbing the occasional water bullet at a baddie. On paper he is the closest factor Rivals has to a pacifist—a Mercy analog for Overwatch followers—nevertheless it seems his final is packing some critical multi-kill potential that is solely now being realized.
“Jeff’s Sacrifice,” reads a publish from Reddit consumer EndergirlQueen, who final evening shared one of many first documented Jeff the Shark workforce wipes. Jeff’s final is the affectionately named It is Jeff!: an AoE crowd management transfer that gobbles up all gamers (enemies and allies) in a 10-meter radius and quickly traps them in Jeff’s stomach.
The default use of It is Jeff! (the exclamation is vital) is to momentarily take troublesome items off the board—occupants of Jeff’s innards simply have to attend round and take chip harm throughout the experience. However some gamers, wanting to get essentially the most out of Jeff’s intestine jail, are setting self-preservation apart and hurling him off the closest cliff, killing himself and 5-6 enemies within the course of.

That is objectively the funniest option to get a kill in a videogame. The “I am happening and also you’re coming with me” maneuver has existed in each period of multiplayer gaming—climbing within the driver seat of an enemy warthog and gunning for a cliff in Halo, getting caught with a semtex and operating towards its thrower in Name of Obligation, dive-bombing a doomed jet in Battlefield—however I reckon the Jeff “giga gulp” is closest in kind to Donkey Kong’s seize in Tremendous Smash Brothers. When you end up sharing controllers with individuals who do not know how one can wiggle out of his grasp, it is very easy to press Z to hoist Hyperlink over Donkey Kong’s head and soar off the closest ledge.
In case you’re actually good, you possibly can even toss enemies off the map with out dying your self, which some Marvel Rival gamers are discovering can also be potential with Jeff:

I imply, that is simply lovely. It is likely to be the case that there is a option to wriggle out of Jeff’s intestines and I (in addition to everybody in these matches) simply do not know it but, nevertheless it’s additionally potential that Jeff is solely a fish to concern when a ledge is close to.
I hope NetEase does not change this one. It is most likely irritating as hell to be efficiently capturing a contested level one second and be inside a shark the subsequent, however I would say it is about as balanced as the rest I’ve seen in Marvel Rivals up to now. In case you gotta die, no less than you are dying nestled subsequent to your folks in a heat (moist) stomach.
