The other day, I took a hit on block, and some guy ran in my house and slapped the S out of me. Sam Wilson flew in and kicked him in the balls. Amazing.
All I've seen people showing off is his lack of damage and not a single bit of his utility. Just mentioning that he has armor ups. Thanks for the awesome vid! Like Falcon, he won't be on every team I bring. But I love him when I bring him.
I rarely ever comment on RUclips but I just have to say, I enjoy watching your videos. You’re about one of the only one’s I see giving a positive overview on champs one way or another. Rather than “hits like a noodle… do not recommend.” I absolutely agree with “not every champ is going to have the biggest yellow numbers”, if so the game would be even more broken than it is. Some champs have a specific purpose. Thanks for these videos 🤙🏼
@@BrandonGavin_EDC I have to agree. Remember all the shit every channel was talking about spidey99? Now everyone's trying to pull him and put up a showcase video. I feel like captain falcon might be next.
Love your outlook mike! As other said I heard lots of negativity and reminds me of spidey 2099, damage seemed lacklustre vs winter soldier but took the community to actually learn how useful the utility is to also realize hey damage isn’t all that bad either. I’m sensing the same for Sam.
From Warlock, Torch, Claire, Doom, Spidey 2099, hell even Corvus back in the day was considered bad based off of realm of legends fights, the list goes on people consistently get it wrong when they don't immediately see huge yellow numbers off of a couple of playthroughs lol.
I know this is late but I think that’s the case with others too. I think guardian has a slightly different color and maybe Medusa uses a slightly different animation too. Could be wrong though
I can’t remember if Guardian’s has a different “animation” with auto-block but Medusa does because her normal block is with her blades while her auto-block is with her hair
Great video! Watched some other videos and was a bit disappointed but after watching yours, you changed my whole perspective on him! Looking like a top class utility champ, can’t wait!
One thing I found out in this game is that having heavy hitters isn’t always the case, although it’s nice to see…. But!! .. Damage over time, bunch of utilities and much more is always fantastic !! Sometimes a slow and steady pace fight is essential for the overall victory 😌
I came here from Seatin's video disappointed, but Karatemike really showcased the champion in areas that he was designed for and didn't focus on damage once again. I think I'll be coming here first from now on.... 😉
As much as I love Seatin, Lord bless him, he's always been a big yellow numbers simp, to the point where he almost overlooks the utility if a Champ has subpar damage. He's good for first impressions, but Mike, Vega and KT1 are my guys for more detailed info on Champs.
Hey mike, miles is really good for this week’s side quest on legendary/epic difficulty since the unblockable node and unblockable specials you can just spam heavies, to get taunt, for more specials, for more unblockable. It scales quite nicely
This is the sole reason why I prefer KM videos about champs. Your honest opinion and unbiased review is helpful. Like you said, Not every champ is made for Damaging purpose, not everyone is CGR etc. Instead this champ is utility machine. I like such positive reviews and it actually gives better understanding for rank ups and make rosters diverse and better. Keep it up
I actually like utility champs a lot more than raw damage champs. Moleman is one of my favourite champs and I’ve been using him since before they buffed him
Awesome showcase. He looks amazing! Big fan of Falcon post buff as well, can’t wait to add this guy. Who needs big damage when you can shut down this much stuff? That’s my kind of champion.
It's amazing how some reviewers will focus on what's wrong with a new champ vs actually showing what the champ can do and excells at. Good video my dude.
Ability Rating: Captain America Sam Wilson (Max Sig) No synergies Damage= 2 Sustainability= 3 Ease of Use= 2 Utility=5 Pros: Can counter many fights Has the most utilities than any champions Benefits a lot from synergies Cons: heavily relies on max sig to get the most from damage Difficult to use for optimal use Relies heavily on synergies to get maximum damage Recommend synergies: Caiw, War Machine, Falcon, and White Magneto With full synergies, damage mastery, and all pre-fight ability active Damage= 3 Sustainability= 3 Ease of use= 2 Utility= 6 Conclusion: without synergies Sam Wilson is just a mediocre champion however with full synergies and pre-fight ability active he is like tech Cable with full synergies. I don't expect him to solo consecutive fights like Cable but I do expect him with full health to solo many single fights.
@@Karatemike415 I base on Kabam rating system I gave him 6 out 5 with synergy. Definitely a 10 in your grading system without synergy it will take some time but you will realize his utility is a 10.
Do not sleep on this champ, especially when you pair him with Cap IW. With that synergy, you can chain parries for a stack of furies and then go to town. It makes very solid damage to go with his amazing utility.
I love the utility and I don’t see how the damage isn’t there. It isn’t the highest but still respectable, love the champ and love the vid!!! Keep up the great work!
It’s kinda sad we aren’t seeing big numbers but every champ doesn’t need big numbers to be good if say falcon is a worse or better version of Spider-Man 2099 he’ll probably rise to popularity the same way
People who complain and say not enough damage probably aren't into act 7 and on....utility became so much more important and having a deep roster as opposed to just raw damage and smashing through stuff
nice to see a champion added that really helps new players. or can help people deal with tough specials. but i also get why a lot of people rate him low. like i dont want him unless they start adding really hard to fight champions. and i also dont llay war so im not ranking someone because they are a good defender.
Uhhhh I popped one cav from the sigil store and got a 6* cap Wilson! Think I’ll r2 him, he’s a lot of fun. Like you said definitely not a damage champion but he’s got a great kit
@@Karatemike415 I seriously hope u r right... cos u know we all rely on certain champs ( obviously some are op champs I.e OR, corvus, cap imiw, kp)... so jus a little shift in abilities and gameplay mechanics may throw us off, ) Like u explained I can REALLY see how this Sam Wilson tackles and shuts down some seriously SERIOUSLY Irritating opponents , DAMN... Forget damage, first u gotta bypass and NOT DIE from these Irritating opponents abilities....Imagine they nerf tis cos he makes fights too easy... ) So u can see my fear... 😆
In this game a champ can appear lame in some areas. But many champs have their areas where they shine. Amd it should be that way. We want to be able to use dif champs.for dif things instead of champ for all. Maybe Kabam learning from dumb champs like Quake, Ghost, Kitty
I understand about his utility but atleast givechim overseer damage or crossbones or even something like hes counter part just no crits but overseer numbers
Mike, I have a stacked roster, just got a 5* version (finally) I think I’m going to r5 him to sig 200 vs a 6 star investment, what are your thoughts on characters such as this…I got so many 6 stars ahead of him in line…once I get a six star he would be way in the back of the line but I dig his utility.
I must say I was hating on this guys damage and I'm like well when is Karatemike making a video cuz I was watching Seatin and I'm like bro this guy hasn't been playing mcoc that often and he thought he was low Demi God so I waited to watch this video now I'm like whaaaat I can't wait to go fir the next early Access Bundle lol.
His special lock debuff after his sp3 while opponent is locked on, is actually quite stupid. The debuff is too long meaning opponent will get to their sp3 if you aren't careful. Why do I need to hold my punches when the debuff is still active? Feel like wasting that debuff duration. Maybe they should make the debuff shorter, and the ability to gain back those Armor Up much faster after his SP3 That's my only issue with him
@@sophr2076 you need a respectable damage to make those utilities put in use. Fights become frustrating when all you do is be good defensively especially in end game content like act7

great showcase man and i think he is underrated already lmao
I agree Lags! People just focus on his damage for some reason and not the utility which Mike showed in this vid.
He has some of my favorite animations in the game. He’s so smooth to play.
"If you want a tech champ or a damage champ you should look into ghost"
ya know, ultron aint too shaby either :)))
He is getting nerfed though which is sad
@@jacobhedden7102 Ultron already got nerf. His damage should be the way it is now.
@@jacobhedden7102 With synergies he does rol winter soildier in 40 hits so his damage is still very solid.

Ability Rating: Captain America Sam Wilson (Max Sig) No synergies
Damage= 2
Sustainability= 3
Ease of Use= 2
Utility=5
Pros:
Can counter many fights
Has the most utilities than any champions
Benefits a lot from synergies
Cons: heavily relies on max sig to get the most from damage
Difficult to use for optimal use
Relies heavily on synergies to get maximum damage
Recommend synergies: Caiw, War Machine, Falcon, and White Magneto
With full synergies, damage mastery, and all pre-fight ability active
Damage= 3
Sustainability= 3
Ease of use= 2
Utility= 6
Conclusion: without synergies Sam Wilson is just a mediocre champion however with full synergies and pre-fight ability active he is like tech Cable with full synergies. I don't expect him to solo consecutive fights like Cable but I do expect him with full health to solo many single fights.
Out of 10? His Utility is a solid 9-10

Just pulled Sam from a 6* Generic crystal. Hence I'm on THE Go-to channel 💪
Lucky man!
@@Karatemike415 i just want to know idol.. if sam wilson is need a high sig or no need. tnx for the answer and more followers to come and godbless🙏
When are they gonna buff OG Cap and Cap WW2?? Great video on Cap Falcon
Do not sleep on this champ, especially when you pair him with Cap IW. With that synergy, you can chain parries for a stack of furies and then go to town. It makes very solid damage to go with his amazing utility.
I'm convinced. This is kabams method of balancing the kitty prydes, and all the unblockables lately
I really wanted a sauron and bishop counter. He is the one . I have 5* version of him and I think I will max him now
7:44 you can watch dork lessons for that he made a specific video about it, the video cool tho...
Pulled him as a 5star yesterday and boy am I using him now
so different from seatin's tittle
Got him yesterday thanks for ur video I am gonna rank 4 him
Nice for battlegrounds Him, Nimrod,Shocker, Ultron and warlock
I love the utility and I don’t see how the damage isn’t there. It isn’t the highest but still respectable, love the champ and love the vid!!! Keep up the great work!
Banging vid as per usual bro, sweet work and appreciated from AUS
Could you do a similar video for daredevil hk? His dmg and utility are really underrated
Hey Mike. Love the videos. Does Sam need the awakening? Sitting on a tech AG and already have ghost, nimrod, guardian awakened. Sam worth it?
Great video Mike you're killing the deep dives and underrated series is top notch
It’s kinda sad we aren’t seeing big numbers but every champ doesn’t need big numbers to be good if say falcon is a worse or better version of Spider-Man 2099 he’ll probably rise to popularity the same way
I feel like this is going to be another kind of spider 2099 situation
Totally agree, I want one,
Good Video Mike, I like new Sam Wilson, his utility and synergy as well
Iron-patriot still best Tech champion
Falcon saved me from someone coming in my home and smacking me in the face lol
People who complain and say not enough damage probably aren't into act 7 and on....utility became so much more important and having a deep roster as opposed to just raw damage and smashing through stuff

I rolled a six star captain america sam wilson and what i’m here for is. Is he good or bad?
Coming here after the 7* champion selection. And I'm definitely choosing Sam wilson
I'm not sure between him and Black panther, seeing some videos Black panther seems solid too, what do you think?
Misty knight and Sam are so good can’t wait for their crystals to come out
Uhhhh I popped one cav from the sigil store and got a 6* cap Wilson! Think I’ll r2 him, he’s a lot of fun. Like you said definitely not a damage champion but he’s got a great kit
He is just like spiderman 2099, a bit low on damage but insane on utility
If Cap SW has so much great utility and is very useful ....
My question is ..what will happen to him next month when Kabam starts balancing stuff?
Nothing since that starts next month lol
Besides, they aren’t going to just nerf anything that’s good - that makes no sense
@@Karatemike415 I seriously hope u r right... cos u know we all rely on certain champs ( obviously some are op champs I.e OR, corvus, cap imiw, kp)... so jus a little shift in abilities and gameplay mechanics may throw us off, )

Forget damage, first u gotta bypass and NOT DIE from these Irritating opponents abilities....Imagine they nerf tis cos he makes fights too easy... ) So u can see my fear... 😆
@@Karatemike415 Also ITS KABAM ... SO MANY THINGS THEY DO MAKES NO SENSE... so again u see my apprehension.. lol
Let's call him Falcap y'all
I guess this is what Kabam was talking about balancing champs. Maybe a 🤏🏽 more damage.
Best gameplay I’ve seen and really showing his strengths
He’s cool but I hate his sp3. Come on with the space thing! How the hell does he get so high so fast. Crazy 😝
He's not in space, you can clearly see the clouds
Quick question: does his lock on work exactly like falcon’s?
Same way to activate. It does differe things but if you know how to activate falcons this is the same
Does he need to be awakened? If so what would be a good sig for him? Love the videos keep them up✌️💙
Another good point is that he's not metal, so magneto is no problem
In this game a champ can appear lame in some areas. But many champs have their areas where they shine. Amd it should be that way. We want to be able to use dif champs.for dif things instead of champ for all. Maybe Kabam learning from dumb champs like Quake, Ghost, Kitty
who is better he or Falcon
Lucky enough to pull him twice as a 5*. How do y'all think he we be as a defender?
Hmm
talking about -100% on block as super good. cries in proxima
Proxima’s dope
Wait, do autoblock animations always look different than regular block animations?
I understand about his utility but atleast givechim overseer damage or crossbones or even something like hes counter part just no crits but overseer numbers
After the vid someone came to my house and smacked me in my face
Mike, I have a stacked roster, just got a 5* version (finally) I think I’m going to r5 him to sig 200 vs a 6 star investment, what are your thoughts on characters such as this…I got so many 6 stars ahead of him in line…once I get a six star he would be way in the back of the line but I dig his utility.
Ain't it says ''-100% Ability Accuracy''? Ain't that means both Offensive and Defensive AA? Cuz it doesn't specify
if he is reducing offensive ability accuracy by 100%. how did the bubble shield even get on him while locked on?
You need the bulwark for the - 100% ability accuracy
I must say I was hating on this guys damage and I'm like well when is Karatemike making a video cuz I was watching Seatin and I'm like bro this guy hasn't been playing mcoc that often and he thought he was low Demi God so I waited to watch this video now I'm like whaaaat I can't wait to go fir the next early Access Bundle lol.
I want one.
Coming Here from Seatins another bad champ video
I dont get the community some times. Other champions with heavy utility and mediocre damage get praised. But this dude is exactly that and is shafted?
Just got him as a 6* is he worth ranking unawkened or wait till he is duped
I have one in 6* he needs to be awaken? Is he 3/5 worthy ?
I wanna rank 3 for my AW def
So Sam Wilson is kinda like a better version of Falcon right? Looks pretty decent. Btw does he need awakening or high sig?
Different champ despite some similarities. They counter different stuff
Maybe he counters highground
What about Domino or Bishop ?!!
He is really a Mutant Hunter........
can he tackle stunning reflection node? analogically against bpcw during locked on?
Is the dupe needed? Just pulled him!
His special lock debuff after his sp3 while opponent is locked on, is actually quite stupid.
The debuff is too long meaning opponent will get to their sp3 if you aren't careful.
Why do I need to hold my punches when the debuff is still active? Feel like wasting that debuff duration.
Maybe they should make the debuff shorter, and the ability to gain back those Armor Up much faster after his SP3
That's my only issue with him
And then buff and the new champ is history that’s how kabam works .
The pew pews made it all the way up to your channel Mike. Swedeah is bad
I’m telling Swadish you said that
Insane video!
Yeah Ghost is pretty decent definitely not overpowered
yeeeep. utility is STACKED. But dmg.... ehhh ok at best (with suicides on. wo them hes close to noodle tbh).
Can he handle invade?
Did you just say that Ghost is still pretty decent 🤨
It's a shame how much of a noodle his damage is tho. I wish he still dealt SOME damage
