In the Early 2020 Update Thread we were given a glimpse into the next mode being worked on. Real Time PVP.
Feel free to discuss the pros and cons of such mode below. Do you see it going anywhere? Is it what you wanted or expected?

The real time PvP is probably just a concept that will never actually happen. There isn't a single monetization reason for them to implement it. They just put it out there for us to talk about to distract us from the real problems with the game.
Haha you was wrong
In it's current format as stated by FN, I like it a lot. My friends and I can test teams out. Now if we can turn on 'war mode' during matches, it would be even better.
In a future unknown format with rewards and such, no opinion yet because I don't know what it entails.
‘War mode’ is a great idea ... but there wouldn’t be a way to determine offense/defense.
They could put that in the match settings.
Depends on rewards and matchmaking logic.
If no rewards it becomes sandbox, where you can test any combinations with your friends or just challenge each other.
If rewards are in place then open question how opponents are chosen. Simple TCP comparison, previous matches results, STP comparison etc. It would bring joy or significant disappointment, depending on implementation

I think there will be rewards when it comes to other players outside of friends/alliance mates. They could do matchmaking based on a rank system including STP so the more wins you rack up the higher your rank becomes. Against friends im 100% sure there will be 0 to miniscule rewards since you and a friend can boost each other.
Right now there is no friend concept in MSF, there were some datelines, but I think they were revoked recently.
So it could be challenge specific player by name or random proposed by system.
Also from my experience about real-time PVP, connection would mean a lot. Even now disconnects from Arena or War irritates a lot. PVP would be another reason to stress if you play with unstable internet
7rs cyclops 7rs blackbolt 7rs Phoenix ....what do you expected?
Pvp request balance of character . But not msf
That's why there's a "ban" part of it.
Its like arena but harder as you can no longer anticipate moves as you can with the AI. Also you could reject 1 character of the initial opponents team, so that would break up meta ans synergy causing weird matches where it comes down to who has the best strategy.
It can go 2 ways. Either we absolutely love it or its worse than they ever released before.

True. Hopefully we will see more and more teams that consist of lets say 8 characters and its up to ypu which 5 you put together.
Same as a brawlers team or how xmen now has more than 5 characters. If thats tje way the game is headed it can be fun.
I think Drax will play a big role.
Sounds fun but I won't consider it fully ready until we get proper matchmaking and rewards for the mode.
Then there would actually be stakes for winning and losing. Also, when you are against your alliance mates and friends, they know what's built up and good in your roster and will target ban them which is kinda ruins a bit of the strategic side for me.
I hope that down the road, they make a competitive version. They put so many good things in the war store so it would be cool to be able to challenge members of opposing alliances during wars to earn a little more war currency.
Absolutely zero interest. It'll be "Whales beat on everyone else" at first, and eventually turn into a whales vs. whales mode as everyone else abandons it. I've got no interest in doing a mode where I'm lucky to win 10% of the time.

They're going to make it as pro whale as they can.
Sounds interesting, but how broken will be (broken as unplayable) and how many other things will it break...
It would be limited to the the top 5 Character's if you want to win unless it's some matchmaking at lower ranks
With how laggy the rest of the game is at times I can't imagine any real-time features being fun to play
I might try testing matchups against alliance mates but if there are no rewards i wouldn't play otherwise
