I'm surprised not a single test was done without Leopardon here because he does look interesting on his own.

COMBAT FLIP 12
After moving normally, attacking, or defending with Spider-Man, he may use Combat Flip. Combat Flip has a move of 2. Spider-Man may flip over obstacles and may flip up to 12 levels up or down in a single flip. When using Combat Flip, Spider-Man will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

While working on updating this card, I kinda feel like he's a little underwhelming and outside of the positioning and free Arc Turn Strike, he doesn't feel the most useful as a pilot. I think this change to Emissary from Hell will help.

Also I feel before we get into Power Rangers we should take LP's advice and bump the move of Combat Flip up to 2 so they can flip over figures. I'd drop his move to 5 with the change, but that's unlikely to matter much.

Seem like good changes, but probably worth a sanity test if you're changing four things like that? (bonus added when in vehicles, blank double attack eliminated, move number changed, flip move boosted).

[tcglkn]

I would definitely do a sanity test or two but I think this will give him a better niche in Spider-Armies and make him more fun with Leopardon.

[Lord Pyre]

Cool. I like him being the pilot Spider, anyway, so encouraging that seems like a win.

That's a sick combo in the Gundam, too. If you roll 2 blanks, then they roll 5 fewer defense with Lethal Slash.

Would this flip power wording need to parallel the "has the Flying special power" language?

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Yeah I think once you're moving more than one space you need the 'this hoss be flying yo' lingo. Or like actually spelling out that he moves over figures and water and whatever.

I like giving him more to do in Leopardon / something to do in other VDOs. Probably worth a test in the Gundam since their powers will stack, but I'm not super worried about it on paper personally.

[tcglkn]

I was going to do one sanity test in Leopardon and one in Gundam. Yea it probably needs the flying text now. But I think going over figures is important.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

I'm definitely all for him being able to actually flip over people.

Sound like a solid plan

Yeah the little I've seen of Power Rangers in passing they do seem to flip over people all the time. So it computes as something iconic enough.

Random thing I wanted to mention before cards are updated and such, vehicle isn't capitalized going by Lady Blackhawk.
