There's apparently some references to a Watchmen series placement and a ring out but I dunno if that's new or not

Iirc Watchmen isn't new, I remember discussing it in past seasons update.

They want to be Harry Potter so bad

It's more like they REALLY wanna be anime.

 

[SneakyLink]

Some quick updates:

1. Foghorn Leghorn’s announcer pack isn’t showing in the prestige shop. It will be added in a hotfix.
2. Servers went down. Perhaps it’s to fix one battle pass item being something from a previous pass? Or maybe its to fix a bug with one of Raven’s perks crashing the game?
Edit: They’re working on a fix
3. Beetlejuice was renamed to Betelgeuse.

 

[MBRedboy31]

I tried the new Arena mode in a streamer’s custom lobby and it was pretty fun! My teammate and I were in the last 3 remaining teams but that’s when the server went down, unfortunately.

Although, the upgrade shop between rounds is really slow to update when you reroll it, and you don’t have much time to find the upgrades you want, so it being slow and unresponsive is a bit frustrating.

I think they also name Jason by his full name now?

 

[PeridotGX]

Does Trigon have his own voice, or do the Trigon skins use the character's normal voice?

 

[Faso115]

Any definite proof that Marceline is C031?

 

[ivanlerma]

No, that's not just it.

they just love anime.

 

[PeridotGX]

Something to think about - the 1933 Little Women movie was done by a company that eventually got it's library bought by Warner. This Song can appear in Multiversus and it would be entirely legitimate.

 

[ivanlerma]

Does Trigon have his own voice, or do the Trigon skins use the character's normal voice?

to answer your question, only the superman skin has a unique voice(though normal supe's voice still plays at random similar to the rowdyruff boys, black lantern superman, and fern).

Anyways, i was thinking of requesting multiversus some changes or fixes to some of the variant costumes in the game such as 89 Batman or trying to get some of the costumes to not have their original default variants voices play when you have the unique one equipped but i wonder if it's only on twitter or possibly one existing on discord.

 

[MartianSnake]

Keanu himself has said he doesn't want his characters in MK or Injustice, and since both are published by WB I wonder if that extends to all games by them.

Why do people always forget he's in fortnite.

Also, super happy Betelgeuse was renamed, I always worry about that fact of the character being taken away

 

[Guynamednelson]

That's not WB Games.

 

[MartianSnake]

That's not WB Games.

And I don't think that's what's going on

 

[Opossum]

I mean...some of Keanu's characters are, but then you look at The Matrix itself. It still stands out because despite having characters that would 100% work as skins, it only has gear and emotes. No character skins.

Either way there is 100% some degree of issues with The Matrix as a franchise and most likely with Neo specifically just based on past precedent.

 

[PeridotGX]

I'm starting to wonder if the next season might not be Wicked Witch and Aquaman. Don't get me wrong, it's still the most likely option, but there are a few things making me think otherwise

• We already have people complaining about "DC Overrepresentation" because they added Nubia and Raven back to back. Having a DC character every season for three consecutive seasons might make it even worse.
• Every season has had at least one Cartoon Network/Animated character, I presume do to fandom demographics. This is why I thought they wouldn't release Raven and Marceline in the same season - there were two CN-adjacent (Raven isn't CN original, but both Teen Titans shows have been a massive part of the channel's history) and two non CN-adjacent characters left, spacing them out felt more logical. The decision not to space them out makes me wonder if they have something more in the works.

I wouldn't be surprised if Season 5 is something like Wicked Witch/Daffy Duck (maybe with a "Golden Age of Hollywood" theme?), and Season 6 ends up being Aquaman/Dexter.

 

[Faso115]

I think we need to look back at the hints from the launch trailer, cause we are still getting characters tied to those

Off the top of my head, the things that haven't adressed yet are the broom (witch), the trident (aquaman), dexter's gloves and glasses, the duck season poster (daffy) and the scooby snacks

I remember there being two brooms. Is there anyone besides a Potter character who flies on one?

people wanna talk about adventure time overrepresentation when we’ve only had one season without a new DC rep, smh

 

[Faso115]

Can we talk about how the DC cast have been dominating on the cosmetic department? I think PFG has been more or less pushed by WB to promote the big IP first over the other ones.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

The difference is that DC is absolutely a massive universe with more than 100 years of heroes and vilains to choose from, while Adventure time is much more grounded. My problem with the Adventure time representation is that they could give much more rep to other CN shows. And if anything my biggest problem with Adventure time isn't really the character, because I get that Marceline was popular and Banana guard was a joke that probably took little development time, but the fact that Adventure time is getting a second stage while Looney Tunes, Matrix and Friday the 13th still have none is kind of ridiculous tbh.

Can we talk about how the DC cast have been dominating on the cosmetic department? I think PFG has been more or less pushed by WB to promote the big IP first over the other ones.

Again, I think it's just DC characters having a lot of skins potential since they have a huge history of multi-media stuff to pull skins from (although yeah, to some extent WB probably have some say into the representation choice).

Black Adam gets like three skins per battle pass, it's kind of ridiculous.

I mean hey, DC sells, is among the easiest to negotiate skins for, and Harley, Superman, Batman and WW have among the biggest playerbases + committed spenders in MVS. Even Bugs with high quality skins pale in comparison to the sheer amount of dedicated DC fans. There's a reason WB lets DC push out a million projects. Considering MVS' goal is to make money, it'd be kinda stupid to put Gremlins or Taz in the Prestige store over Batman Who Laughs or a beach Harley skin.

There's no Warner franchise as big as DC. Their characters are cultural icons lmao. DC's widespread impact shouldn't be diminished in MultiVersus over arbitrary rep count. Pushing out generational icons in a game about cinema icons would be unbearably stupid. As long as they don't have a DC-Versus approach and they keep mixing it up now and then while still adding requested cartoons, everything will be fine.

Especially when the complaints are a vocal minority. DC characters sell the most and still have heavily requested inclusions by the community, Raven and the other Titans being among those requests.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Imo the only things we need left for DC are to finish out the core JLA (Aquaman, Green Lantern, Flash), one new generation rep (Blue Beetle?) and a non-Batman villain (Darkseid or Deathstroke would be my picks) then I could say DC is very well represented and doesn't need anything else

Though Supergirl with a skin based on MAWS would be fun

For whatever it's worth, I agree with you. DC is absolutely not overepresented, you could probably get away with doubling the amount of DC characters and still be fine. It's just that a lot of Multiversus fans have a strange distaste for DC and I could see them wanting to avoid three in a row

Hard disagree. We for sure need the Teen Titans, having a 2v2 tag team game without the iconic Batman and Robin duo would be a disgrace to the Batman name especially for a game representing WB history, that's one of the WB's most prominent team ups. And having Raven without her natural chemistry characters such as Beast Boy, Starfire and/or Cyborg would also just plain suck.

I wouldn't even say that, it's just a tiny amount of crybabies on Reddit and Twitter. Hell, on those spaces too there's still hype and demand for more DC that overshadows the vocal minority. All they have to do is not repeat anymore Nubia tier characters and nobody notable will complain.

 

[fogbadge]

one new generation rep (Blue Beetle?)

I'm not sure any of the blue beetles count as new gen

It's a thought carry over from the standard smash fandom. The feeling of overrepresentation is not really felt here, the one that has a lot of characters it's literally an universe so vast you can make an entire game out of it, of course they would get the most characters.

And we still have at the very least, 2 characters that are in the pipeline for DC, we ain't even done (Aquaman is basically confirmed, Poison Ivy is a maybe)

 

[CapitaineCrash]

I think the Black Adam case it's actually because he's one of the least played characters, so by putting skins in the Battle pass you encouraged players to buy him because eventually people will have a bunch of skins of him. This is the same reason why Velma is getting a skin pretty much every time too.

I'm not sure any of the blue beetles count as new gen

It's true that Blue beetle is actually very old, but his most popular depiction is by far Jaime who is actually fairly recent compare to other DC heroes having a similar popularity (being created in 2006).

As far as superheroes are concerned, anything that debuted past the 90s may as well be brand new. They rely a LOT on characters from before the turn of the century. Jaime is honestly one of the very few post-2000s characters from Marvel OR DC with a strong following, and might be the closest equivalent DC has to Marvel's Miles Morales or Kamala Khan in that regard.

For a medium and genre that's existed since the 1930s, something from the last quarter of a century is considered "new gen."

So the definition is just broader for the comic than others?

I mean, yeah. You always have to look at things in context. Like Harley Quinn is still treated as being a newer addition to the comics continuity by most people when she was brought into the mainstream DC continuity 25 years ago.

 

[Will]

I noticed that at the end of almost every rift with a plotline that introduces a character, the character would ask how they ended up in a rift before getting hushed and told “THERES NO TIME TO EXPLAIN! YOU NEED TO SEE BATMAN RIGHT NOW.”

And then the next rift is like, some random **** that has no dialogue or character interaction whatsoever.

 

[SneakyLink]

Raven is now available through Fighter Road. She needs 15,000 XP to unlock.

Edit: Should add that you need to unlock all other characters before you can start unlocking Raven via Fighter Road.

You can also use leftover Fighter Currency by going to the Fighter Store from the Store tab. She costs 6,000 FC.

 

[Faso115]

PEAK ALERT! PEAK ALERT!

 

[MBRedboy31]

I have to admit that I’m not quite so excited to play Raven that I need to unlock her now, so, despite the fact that I have 4 new characters’ worth of fighter currency, I’ll save them for later by grinding for her the normal way. Utilizing various events, I’m already a third of the way there. Grinding one character at a time like this doesn’t seem too bad (I now only need about 1k exp a day to get her before the rift event ends,) although I can just imagine how brutal it’d be for new players….

 

[MBRedboy31]

Here’s an idea for an updated version of Fighter Road. I get that they’re probably being required to frustrate the players to get money, but currently it’s outright disheartening for anyone who wants characters near the end, so here’s an idea to balance both aspects. (It’s just an idea, I don’t know if it’s ideal, but I do think it’s better than what we have now.)

———————

Instead of one big long linear track, there are somewhere from 4-7 sets of characters, each with about the same number of characters. You start with set one, and you can pick any character in that set to unlock. When you do that, you move to set 2 and can pick one character to unlock. Repeat for each set. Once you unlock one character in the last set, you return to set 1 to pick another character to get, ect.

As a result, your singular favorite character will never be more than 4-7 character unlocks away, instead of potentially over 30 unlocks away. Much less disheartening (but still grindy.) It’ll also increase character variety at low SBMM since everyone gets far more options. Furthermore, it’ll scale better in the long run as the roster gets larger and larger.

Brand new characters would probably have to get added to the set that’s furthest away from the one you’re currently in (so it’ll be different for every player.) If you don’t have an account and make one after Marceline releases, or if you took a hiatus after Nubia’s release and didn’t return until after Marceline’s release, she’ll be in the last set and Raven will be in the second-to-last set, ect. so new characters don’t just pile up in that furthest-away set.
