Hulk strongest there is.
He's carrying the weight of the entire game's functionality.

superman can beat the hulk

superman can beat the hulk

clearly not this game’s superman

At this point I genuinely think that the Dexter "tease" were not actually teases, but just fun easter egg because of the stage and boss that was coming. I'm not saying he's not coming at all, but I don't think it's going to be in the near future.

But the glasses and gloves in the cinematic trailer and that Where's Waldo thing?

 

[Opossum]

Dexter was absolutely teased. It's probably just that he wasn't nearly as far along in development as the likes of the numbered characters.

Basically the same boat as Scooby and Daffy.

 

[MBRedboy31]

I’m just going to assume that the devs want to add Dexter eventually, but there’s enough characters in front of him that he’s been pushed far enough down their priorities list that they haven’t started work on him much or at all.

 

[Will]

It’s strange that they’ll tease characters like Dexter but we have a few newcomers so far who had no teasing whatsoever.

I’ll make a pass for Nubia since I know she was originally an alt, but they didn’t throw any bones for Beetlejuice or Raven early-on IIRC. I’m unsure about Marceline’s case.

 

[Fields - Ultimate's Great]

Marceline and Raven were thoroughly teased and speculated on from hints given in trailers.

 

[darkvortex]

Ignore this

Which just makes the dozens of teases that much more confusing. If he isn't happening for a long time, why keep bringing him up?

 

[Will]

Ravens Rhineland Marcy's axe where both in he first teaser

Raven’s what?

 

[darkvortex]

Raven’s what?

Fixed

 

[Will]

Fixed

I’ll just take your word for it. That would still leave Beetlejuice right?

I think the more interesting pull from this string of characters is Legolas.

As far as I'm aware, this is the first time we've found strings related to them in the game, which means (presumably) they were either hidden well (not likely with the early dev team) or were added in more recently, implying that negotiations with Embracer and/or Tolkien's Estate are going well.

I know they was mentioned on a list of characters from hugeleakeractually on reddit after the fact, but correct me if I'm wrong and we have seen string related to him ingame before.

I want to say his name had been found in early beta datamines too (not actual character data like Gandalf though), but I have absolutely no way to back that up, so... -shrug-

I just remember there was references to more than just Gandalf for LotR.

From what I specifically remember being ingame, there was Gandalf who had a design that we've seen, dummy data for stages based on Hobbiton and Mordor, and a remixed version of "Concerning Hobbits" - presumably to play on Hobbiton (it was a darn good remix too, it was up on Youtube for awhile but has been purged.) I personally think LotR and RWBY are still coming as franchises; I don't think being on this list means being scrapped necessarily - except for Hulk

I think Hulk might.

....on technicality.
Not him specifically but reuse any assets for someone that IS in the WB umbrella just like him.

I'm not against the pick after we get Dexter. Though if he does appear, I feel like the other two gotta cameo or be like assists in his kit or something, right? Or maybe it could be like a situation where you have Major Glory be the main character and have him call the other two out for his attacks. Just spitballin

As long as we get a return of the fruit pies, I'm not opposed to whatever idea lol.

I always thought the best Dexter's Lab representation would be Dexter, Major Glory and Monkey.
We're probably going to just get Dexter, because no way we only get one Powerpuff Girls character (as all realistic options for more have essentially been made nil) and three Dexter's Laboratory characters, but at least there's good options for more.

Major Glory makes the most sense, but man, Val Hallen would be so cool.

I'd much rather gave Deedee than Major glory personally, I think Deedee could have super fun moveset where she uses a few Dexter's gadget, but hurt others "accidentally".

Monkey could be fun but I don't know, I'd much rather have more different CN show being represented than giving Dexter 3 character.

Yes, I'm saying IF they wanted more Dexter characters, there are good choices, not that they SHOULD.

 

[GoldenYuiitusin]

I just feel Krunk may be another "we have leftover assets to use" character to be keeping an eye on, personally. Even if said assets were originally for someone else that he's meant to parody. -shrug-

Legolas was in the original release alongside characters like [ISPOILEISPOILER who didn't have much

He actually was in the data. However, it was literally a single line of code that mentioned his name. So he (and presumably all LotR content at that time) was cut shortly after. It's likely no major work was done on him since it seems he was added to the list RIGHT before they cut the LotR content.

 

[Faso115]

Updated C0 list, this is assuming that C031 is Marceline, which leave us with the following slots and characters

Spoiler

• C022: Wicked Witch
• C029 Aquaman
• C032 ???
• C033 (Data suggest this one belongs to Ruby Rose)
• C037-C039 ???
• C040 Mr. Meeseeks

However, this leaves 3 outlier characters that were found through different means, those being Pickle Rick (C020B), Gandalf (Wizard?) and Daffy (Seasons) whose data were stored differently.

The four characters could be ones that are already future proofed already. Future proofed characters that aren't confirmed by C0 list are Scooby Doo and Poison Ivy

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Speaking of teased characters, I wonder if Pennywise is actually planned and if so when he's going to launch. I think the problem with the marketing is that they're teasing way too much characters considering the rate they're releasing (with Marceline and Raven for example being teased at least since the relaunch 7 months ago).

 

[ivanlerma]

[Fields - Ultimate's Great]

I wouldn't really like Deedee in this game personally. That's more of a pick for Punchtime Explosion and other CN focused games than a fitting inclusion for MultiVersus, there's too many vast characters they're slow to include to make her a priority in any capacity. (We still don't have bare minimum characters like Scooby Doo, Wicked Witch and Daffy Duck).

 

[CapitaineCrash]

In a recent tweet, Ajax seems to be hinting at Daffy. The emoji reprensent the other characters Eric Bauza is voicing in MVS (Bugs Bunny, Foghorn and Marvin), and the last emoji hint at someone else coming, which is most likely Daffy.

 

[Faso115]

Ajax also hinted at Marceline around Season 2. Take this as a confirmation that he's happening and only that.

Season 5 should be Aquaman and Wicked Witch, or a mix of one of them with another unrevealed character

 

[Fields - Ultimate's Great]

It's nitpicking time in regards to plat-fighter identities again lmao. I accepted shields are pretty much going to happen, they're warranted, I guess.

But good grief, watching the recent tourney and it's so irksome for me that we went from conceptually interesting and unique design concepts for an MVS shield to just generic Smash-like bubble designs with each testing ground. Can't even get a MVS flare for this mechanic at least? Bummer. Even NASB2 put more effort in making shields look visually distinct.

Definitely seems to be a Mad Max stage based on the hazard.

Strings of code related to Aquaman and Ruby

Spoiler

This leaker also claims Aquaman is a guarantee for next season but does not know the second character, and that both Daffy and Ruby are finished.

It's strange how wicked witch is always pushed back and back constantly. I wonder if they haven't found a way to make her gimmick work.

She seems to both be able to stun and summon monkeys so maybe the latter part might be annoying to program

At this point I'm convinced it's not for any gameplay reason, but rather that the suits won't let them add her until Wicked finishes its theater run so there's no accidental cross promotion. I can 100% see the execs like Zaslav being that petty and it sucks so much.
