My semi-final full playthrough of the current demo with Wolverine.

Upon reflection, Wolverine is easily my worst character. He falls down. A lot. I'm not sure if it's his hitbox or what but he seems to get knocked down and especially knocked out of the air ALL THE TIME and it's very frustrating. Several times in the playthrough he seemed to get hit by limbs and vehicles that really weren't that close to him, and upon reaching the Militant fight, he somehow got hit out of the air by the spike wall when he was half a screen away from it! XD I think it's between 53:50-53:55. It took me a moment to even realize what had happened. Either his hitbox is humongous or the spike wall's hitbox randomly grew in that single moment.

Oddly, I've also found that despite having claws, his range and hit detection feels off, like he has to be positioned far more accurately in order to actually hit an enemy compared to other characters, and similarly to Black Cat, he trembles under any enemy who has a shield, because they just laugh at him.

Also like Black Cat, and Beast, he's very 'floaty' with many moves keeping him in the air, making him get hit out of it more frequently.

Aside from his Jump Special, his jump attacks in general are difficult to land (one of which being because it aims right in front of him instead of downward) which combined with him being able to get kicked and shot out of the air with ease just make jumping pointless with him, unless you're as jump trigger-happy as I am... like seriously, I CAN'T STOP.

His Avenger Power is also very difficult to use (he needs to be grabbing an enemy) and very unreliable since it will have almost no effect if he carries an enemy to the side of the screen.

Wolverine suffers so badly in crowds of enemies, especially if he has many gunners on screen and surrounding him. He becomes an easy target practice. It would be total hell if he did not have his dodge roll to at least help a little.

Also like Black Cat, he sucks against robots, lol but that makes sense since all he has are claws against metal enemies.

Wolverine is an ideal candidate for co-op, as if he can isolate a single enemy or two, he can be very powerful, but on his own, in a crowd, he feels very vulnerable. Unlike Black Cat, however, he has the health to take it, but in a way that's even worse, because you can't actually DIE, but you feel like an idiot just getting batted around the stage, occasionally managing to get a few swipes in. You never feel in danger of dying, you just feel frustrated and like you'd rather be playing any other character.

This is all just my own experience with him and I'm sure I've seen others play with him better.

Although I advertised this as my last playthrough originally, I did forget about one character who I hadn't planned on recording due to their 'unique' gameplay (it would be very awkward to do a full playthrough!) but I did promise everyone, and so everyone you shall get. Look out for it in the coming weeks ;)

I am SO ready for the new demo with some fresh stages and characters and am very excited to record a new 'Random Characters' playthrough showing them all off when it is released :)
