A Redditor finds a new overpowered technique for The Thing in Marvel Rivals

As mentioned previously, a Redditor who goes by the name u/MEMO_12G found a new and unique tech for The Thing in Marvel Rivals. This tech allows the hero to jump up using a boost or jump pad, then activate the ultimate ability while falling to stun the enemies as soon as the character hits the ground.

So here’s The Thing... new tech! byu/MEMO_12G inmarvelrivals

As showcased in the video on the Reddit post, you can see The Thing use the jump pad in the Tokyo 2099: Shin-Shibuya map while charging ahead using his Yancy Street Charge ability. This lets him move forward while jumping, enabling him to get to places that are unreachable for characters without movement abilities.

Once The Thing lands on the pile of boxes near the capture point, stop his Yancy Street Charge ability by hitting the same key you used to trigger it. Then, carefully jump onto the roof in front of you. This roof is not a platform, so The Thing will float here instead of standing still. You have to activate this Fantastic Four member’s ultimate ability while in the floating animation.

Since you cannot stand in the area, you will be stuck in the ultimate animation. However, the sound cue will make enemies cautious, and they won't push into site. Interestingly, since you're stuck, the ultimate will never go off, and after some time, your opponents should push towards the capture point, believing that you have misclicked.

Once the enemies are near or on the point, you can drop down and stun all of them using The Thing’s Clobberin’ Time. Then, your teammates can easily capitalize on this and eliminate the opponents.

This technique for The Thing in Marvel Rivals can also be used in other maps that feature a jump pad.
