MultiVersus General Discussion

[Ivander]

So...how are u guys feeling with multiversus right now? Good, bad, meh? Do you think the games is in a good state or still needs a lot of work? Risk of dying?

Personally i am content with the game but i can understand the monetization and some of the grind being a deal breaker

I'm feeling good so far with it. I think there are things that still need some work like hitboxes, balancing, a bit less focus on monetization and trying to find bugs faster before they end up messing things up. Whether it dies or not, we shall see later.

Yeah, I do wish the monetization was a bit less focused, but as long as the Rifts allow for grinding Event EXP, I don't see a whole lot of issues with grinding Events aside from the PVP focused grinds like the Cybucks. If we get another event with currency similar to Cybucks, I hope they give out a second set of daily missions per day that give off that currency to make those kind of events less of a grind.
I'm also not a fan of what they did with Battlepass XP. While it's not hard to complete the Battlepass if doing daily missions every day as well as the Weeklies, I don't like how they did the changes to Battlepass XP from PVP to try to combat against AFK Farmers or Farmers who let themselves be hit then go into the blastzone intentionally for quick XP. While I'm not necessarily against XP being earned through doing damage, right now it feels too punishing on the players who do play the matches.

I don't think it's at a risk of dying but I still think it has a lot of problems with how it plays and the content model of updates and monetization. I don't want to go into specifics because I don't want to start an argument, but I feel like if they fixed the problems I have with it the game would really finally capture the same appeal Smash has (what I assume they want) but doing any of that would fundamentally change what kind of game it is so I doubt that they will.

I’d be good with either but man I’d still mark the hell out for a playable Sonic character. Especially if they give him a better moveset than the one he has in Smash

Skins would be great though. I kinda wanna draw that now.

Considering PFG has notoriously struggled with getting their advertisements on time when it comes to playables, there's no shot we'd be getting a Sonic character. So soon at that... They'd have to prioritize Sonic over all the other characters/advertisements Warner likely wants.

PFG would be foolish to try and chase the same Smash appeal. Most Smash players will always stick to Smash, in fact they will instantly drop this game like a bad habit and never look back the millisecond we get more Smash news. Multiversus' best chance at sticking around is through Brawlhalla's approach: stay unique and build their own audience, even if it means most Smash fans don't give a damn about the game.

Marvin is probably my favourite character to play as

Hearing that it's Harley reminds me of my time as Gizmo against her.

We’re getting another Hotfix tomorrow.

Game will enter maintenance at 12 pm est.

I wonder if they'll fix the problem where the game crashes when I try to enter a match sometimes.

Not disconnecting. Literally crashing and shutting down the program on my Steam Deck. That's not supposed to happen.

I had a bug yesterday where the match loaded in but no fighters loaded in and I had to force close the game.

Effectively, I got the Conker Glitch (I’m calling it that because a fan account that wants them to add Conker the Squirrel to the game has had this constantly happen since launch).

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I’ve gotten back into doing my dailies and I’m pretty far along in the pass… but I did pay to advance 10 spaces twice because I’m a moron.

Singlehandedly keeping the game alive /s

So far my matches have been pretty fair, i even managed to finish all the prestige challenges except the Valentine ones cause i haven't gotten any in the beta. Sadge times.

Yeah. That’s the only one I have left to do. I had to buy 20-XXe Superman though because I fell off the game during that event.

I wish we could gift each other skins.

I still question why they decided to show the roster like this. Not only they accidentally show Banana Guard, they also made guessing the other character significantly easier.

Why? Well apparently they decided to count article "the" when alphabetizing, so it's no longer "Joker" but "The Joker" now. The Jason rumors would have leaked either way, but it would have more competition if the mystery character was between Jake and Lebron, but Joker made it much easier to guess lol.

Now i wonder if it's going to be "Wicked Witch" or "The Wicked Witch". I doubt they will go with "The Wicked Witch of the West", gamers struggle with names longer than two words

I wish they were sorted by franchise instead of alphabetically

What a wild reminder that this game actually thought the 3D portraits were acceptable to release with and something we could've been stuck with forever...

I liked the 3D portraits.

 

[Will]

I liked the 3D portraits.

Same but I do like the 2D art.

What I don’t understand is why they don’t use preexisting 2D art for variants found on their website.

 

[Fields - Ultimate's Great]

Probably because they have a lot of skins without 2D artwork and it'd become very expensive to make render art for each and every variant.

 

[osby]

For consistency's sake, I guess.

They have 2D renders for all default skins but not all variants.

Shaggy and Jake in the Titans Tower stage was a really weird choice. Maybe they didn't wanna create new models, but it would've made more sense to just.....not have any cameos?

Nah I like that they're willing to make wacky choices of using the base roster to emphasize the crossover fact of MVS. Like having Shaggy and Jake be buds on the Titans stage. Makes the game feel alive.

MVS fans when a crossover game has crossover characters interacting in a crossover map

More PPG nerfs? You might as well take them out of the game at this point.

Apparently the file size on this patch is abnormally large? Maybe there's something interesting to be datamined.

They're just patching the infinite.

What was the point of shrinking WW just to undo it?

 

[Faso115]

What was the point of shrinking WW just to undo it?

Im pretty sure it wasn't intentional.

In fact, we can't do the comparison but you know how the game theory is that Nubia is heavily based of on WW? Maybe she's smaller than her and they left WW accidentally at Nubia size

 

[Fields - Ultimate's Great]

What was the point of shrinking WW just to undo it?

It was accidental. They confirmed it to be a mistake and her being shrunk destroyed a lot of her gameplan and combo game going off WW mains.

I wonder if it would be possible to make a moveset in this game for Droopy without completely disregarding the character’s main gag.

 

[LimeTH]

I wonder if it would be possible to make a moveset in this game for Droopy without completely disregarding the character’s main gag.

Best way to do it would to keep Droopy as stiff and upright as possible, much like he does in the shorts.

He doesn't run, he just shuffles his legs really fast. For many of his animations and attacks the only thing that moves is his arm. Etc.

Ok but the main gag with Droopy is that wherever you go to try and escape him he’s there. He’s behind every door. In every passage. Under every rug. How do you have that be in gameplay.

Have the playable character be The Wolf, and he attacks by Droopy scaring him and harming the opponent at the same time.

Not every Droopy cartoon does that.
I think the main joke behind Droopy is how unphased he is by absolutely everything and how small and reserved he is, both of which hide how ridiculously powerful and hyper competent he is. He's like the One Punch Man of golden age animation. He's bored of how easy it all is.

The joke would be translated into MVS by having pretty much everyone assume Droopy isn't a threat. And then making Droopy a Tank.

Not only that, but you could also just do something similar to what they did with Beetlejuice, where in doubles, Droopy could gain a way to instantly teleport in front of a foe.

Players will find a way to teleport at the same time as their Jason teammate and brick the game somehow
