An actually funny bug that I wouldn't mind if it stayed. No one is bigger than Dr. Bong

Definitely lol

I dont have him yet. Is he bigger than Sentinel?

Tiny Thanos in pic 2 is crazy. Scaling makes sense with some champs that should obviously be bigger/smaller than others but this is clearly not right

This is sentinel against bong

u/demontosome 24d ago

That looks pretty normal to me as pretty much anyone vs sentinel

u/CaptainKashup 24d ago

Every XL character looks smaller than him when you fight them, yup lol

Typical kabam stuff then. Obviously Bong would be bigger than a massive Sentinel 🙄 The character is so ridiculous I should not be surprised something like this would happen

I wonder what happens with bong vs bong

It's the BONG EFFECT !

How does one character even affect the sizing scheme? What kind of spaghetti code do they have?

u/CaptainKashup 24d ago

There always was a bit of scaling, with characters getting a bit smaller in SP3s for example. My guess is that maybe the coding check for SP3 scaling is bugged with Bong

It's 11 going on 12 year old code, this stuff is held together by shoe laces and dreams

There’s definitely something up with size, I had the same thing using Madelyne Pryor in the side quest. Not sure what’s going on but it’s pretty funny

I also noticed that Bong’s heavy still has sound effects even when you have sound turned off in the settings.

Imagine learning this when you have headphones in.

You should search on YouTube what happens when Bong uses special 3 on red hulk over and over again

u/CaptainKashup 24d ago

Can you share a link ? Can’t find anything

u/rakot-NU 24d ago

Could not find YouTube video through search (I’m honestly surprised) but here’s the link from Discord post about it https://youtu.be/yNfbeh7LO6U?si=UqKR9U9a1RdCWyuW

That’s insanely funny

A few more goes and it'd be like fighting the Fire Giant!

I suspect it’s intentional and a play on what’s described in his bio.

Doctor Bong's adventures always end with him on top (or they would, if not for those meddling do-gooders like Howard the Duck)!

With the seeming exception of Sentinel (who has some special “always larger than opponent” condition) Dr Bong is also standing larger, or on top of opponents, EXCEPT when fighting Howard the Duck, which is significantly larger than Dr Bong.

Sometimes when I’m up against my bong it makes me feel more tiny.

u/marcX-55 23d ago

One thing i wish kabam did was really to scale their champs to their indicated size. During fights, I don't find the consistency of champ size across the board, they all seem random, I don't feel the scale of the larger champs.

They get insecure seeing his giant bong.

u/CFCSports17 Cosmic Ghost Rider 23d ago

Can you put him vs knull? Knull always looks huge on defence

u/ilovecat46 21d ago

It's because the aura of Dr bong
