MultiVersus General Discussion

[Opossum]

I thought it was gonna be more like Ice Climbers.

Their leaked voice lines imply that you swap between them like a stance change.

I wonder…

PT gets i-frames when they swap. Will PPG get treated the same way?

 

[darkvortex]

Ignore this

Honestly what could be cool is if the swap also acted as a counter. I-frames on the swap followed by the next girl entering with a flying punch to the face.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

With the PPG being teased in Joker's trailer, I can't help but feel like they NEED to come in season 2. Because, why else would they show them like that?

I feel like Powerpuff girls in Joker trailer was a genuine mistake and not a tease.

now that is a interesting idea. not just for the PPG but for any characters who function like this

 

[Louie G.]

My guess is, personally, they’re both. You can swap out the lead PPG and the others will assist or participate in group attacks, and then obviously whoever you decide to lead with has their own role in the gameplan and individual strengths.

Like Pyra and Mythra too, where they probably share a lot of their attacks. But also similar to the “Rex and Pyra” concepts that used to get tossed around, with lots of “leader attacks first and partner follows up” type attacks. Just my speculation but this is how I’ve been interpreting it.

 

[Master Hero Sock-on-Rye]

Honestly, making the Powerpuff Girls into a 3-in-1 stance fighter is my preferred way of making them playable. Granted, my actually preferred way to do this is to give them three separate slots, but if we have to cram the girls in one, going the Pokemon Trainer route would be the best case scenario.

Also, they're probably going to bring up Princess Morbucks when they interact with Batman. Just calling that out now.

Well, it's pretty unlikely that they would suddenly go from four characters per season to two. Even without this, I expect a third character at least.

 

[Ivander]

I'll see what happens. I'm keeping my expectations to two characters until shown otherwise.

Give Buttercup a special one were she combos you with a punch and kick attack.

While we're at it, there's a looooot of open space on the left in this image.

Does beetleguise have much to do with time?

 

[Opossum]

Only as much as you associate time with death.

 

[fogbadge]

So not really

 

[Ivander]

Does beetleguise have much to do with time?

He did time travel in the cartoon a couple times.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if part of it was a play on Jack and Beetlejuice having a moment of No activity until a long time after.

 

[darkvortex]

Does beetleguise have much to do with time?

He is implied to have been from the far past before he died and is ageless

 

[fogbadge]

i think every cartoon did a time travel episode

 

[Will]

I think “Back in Time” is more of a reference to them being older IPs than strictly time travel.

Tbf, first-season newcomers weren't exactly super new outside of maybe Banana Guard.

 

[Will]

Yeah but they made the themes based on 3/4 being villains.

Older IPs was legitimately my best guess on this seasons theme. If it’s just a reference to Samurai Jack, then does the name of any given season even need to correlate with all newcomers?

 

[Faso115]

People try really hard to find a theme to fit for every character release when in reality most themes are probably made up on the spot or focusing on one character.

This happens a lot in Overwatch. Illari is a sun themed hero but the Battlepass was themed around a robot faction. Venture is an archeologist with a big drill and the BP theme was OW characters from an alt universe.

What i'm saying is, maybe the season themes are gonna be based more on what happens on the rifts and less on the characters in it. Cause so far, "Back in Time" barely ties to Beetlejuice unless you do some mental gymnastics

There's a possibility that newcomers aren't chosen based on the theme. If I have to guess, they probably decide on a rough theme based on the characters and maybe shift a fighter or two depending on it.

Like, the first season had a villain theme and the third one seemingly will be a Halloween one but this one's theme seems kinda vague compared to those - making me think this one might be more related to the story than the characters. But I'm just spitballing.

 

[Opossum]

It really is just a case for the seasons being named for, specifically, their marquee newcomer. Season one was Joker, season two was Samurai Jack.

 

[Ivander]

The Time theme could also be somewhat related to some of the skins we're going to get. We were shown 3 Cyber/Futuristic skins with Morty, Rick and Superman and one of the themes that a lot of characters are getting is a Futuristic Neon-color theme.

 

[fogbadge]

Well then why bother giving the seasons names at all?

But that’s forward in time

Branding. It's more memorable than just numbering the seasons.

 

[Ivander]

Yeah. Jack went forward in time, now he has to go back in time. You can't go back if you don't go forward beforehand.

2 updates:

1. The stream for Season 2 starts at 1 pm est.

2. WB has acquired Player First Games

Well that makes sense but maybe they should have come up with something catchyer

 

[Capybara Gaming]

2. WB has acquired Player First Games

Charming, another thing for Zaslav to write off for taxes.

Why do people still think the game will shutdown in 3 weeks when it was stated multiple times that it was a succes and if anything WB buying the studio should prove that they're confident in the project.

 

[SneakyLink]

I’ll report my thoughts on the acquisition post stream.

Updates:
1. Jack is Battlepass

2. Beetlejuice is not the rift character

3. Phil Lamarr voices Jack

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Why do people still think the game will shutdown in 3 weeks when it was stated multiple times that it was a succes and if anything WB buying the studio should prove that they're confident in the project.

Because WB has shown it's willing to shoot itself in the foot if it means short term profits.

 

[LimeTH]

2. Beetlejuice is not the rift character

...Uh oh.

 

[SneakyLink]

More updates:

1. The weakened max stacks is now 3

2. Some stages in ranked will be more competitive with less hazards. For example, the Water Tower door won’t open and no balloons spawn.

 

[darkvortex]

...Uh oh.

sounds like there won't eh a rift character this season
