The sport plan is gobble gobble. One in every of Marvel Rivals’ most lovely heroes is a help named Jeff the Land Shark, an obvious fixture of the West Coast Avengers who, in Rivals, spends his days spitting therapeutic waters at his pals 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 severe 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 group 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 essential) is to momentarily take troublesome items off the board—occupants of Jeff’s innards simply have to attend round and take chip harm in the course of the journey. However some gamers, desirous 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 taking place 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 working towards its thrower in Name of Responsibility, dive-bombing a doomed jet in Battlefield—however I reckon the Jeff “giga gulp” is closest in type to Donkey Kong’s seize in Tremendous Smash Brothers. When you end up sharing controllers with individuals who do not know easy methods to 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.
Should you’re actually good, you’ll be able to even toss enemies off the map with out dying your self, which some Marvel Rival gamers are discovering can be attainable with Jeff:

I imply, that is simply lovely. It could 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 attainable that Jeff is solely a fish to concern when a ledge is close to.
I hope NetEase does not change this one. It is in all probability irritating as hell to be efficiently capturing a contested level one second and be inside a shark the following, however I might say it is about as balanced as anything I’ve seen in Marvel Rivals up to now. Should you gotta die, a minimum of you are dying nestled subsequent to your folks in a heat (moist) stomach.
