< Nova >
Creator .........: Hans Kreissack
Creation Date ...: Under Development (2097)
Special Abilities: Mini Grenade, Missile Launcher,
Earthquake Smash
Manual:
Very little is known about the Nova Project, except that Major Kreissack
himself is in Charge of the development, and that it is the first mech
specifically designed for fighting. Rumors that it is near completion
have been floating around. Some say that it will be unveiled in the
current contest for Ganymede.
Matts:
If you can't win with the Nova,
then you might want to go back to Karate Champ in your local arcade.
But if you prove effective at utilizing raw power,
hate racking your brain in an effort to devise brilliant combos,
or just like to feel BAD,
the Nova will obviously be the 'bot of choice for you.
If the Nova were a weapon in DOOM,
it would be a quadruple-barrel Shotgun--not the prettiest of toys,
but definitely carrying that feeling of unstoppable destruction.
The Nova, when fully rigged, is fast, powerful, & tough.
It surpasses all the other 'bots in terms of basic Attack superiority,
Special Move damage, and an almost unlimited number of incredibly powerful combos.
Even if you're the finesse player who prefers the grace and eloquence of motion of the Katana to the brute force of the Thorn,
you'll love using the Nova if for no other reason than to see it smash the top half of your opponent off with sheer strength during its Destruction.
All you DOOMers out there have fun!
