I feel like people only want characters that fill their specific niche while everyone else is a “bad choice”.

Unfortunately since the majority of the common speculation is Cartoon Network and DC, it basically boils down to “every pick is bad. Even the fan favorites”
Can you even say that anymore when one of Cartoon Network's flagship characters is being called "filler"? Unless this guy was born in 2005, I have no idea how you can have mostly CN characters in speculation and think The Powerpuff Girls is a bad pick.

Saw a YT thumbnail implying the Powerpuff Girls are "filler".

I genuinely have no idea what people want from this game anymore.
That's just one video, no?

For what it's worth, I didn't see that many complaints about Powerpuff Girls - or maybe they were kinda drowned among all the Nubia hate.

I feel like the general sentiment is "Every new character until we get Daffy and Scooby is nothing but an obstacle in front of Daffy and Scooby."

Actually, I took a quick look around the Multiversus subreddit, and yeah, 85% of the requests are CN/DC but there is some appreciation for characters like Fred Flintstone, Ruby Rose, or Gandalf. Also, a ton of Godzilla requests. There are also quiet a bit of third-party requests, though that might be because people aren't quite sure which IPs WB owns.

can i say it's insane that people keep saying the release cadence of this game is too slow?

Buddy i don't know what games you play but Multiversus releasing one character a month is really fast. Fighting games in general take 3-4 months to make a character release as DLC and those you have to pay for.

I know MVS has its issue with the unlock system but the release cadence is not one of them

And when they released characters faster in the beta, still no one cared because they came out so fast that there was barely any room to talk about them!

One a month is too slow? How did these people survive the Smash Ult DLC period?

I blame the diminishing attention span people have where they consume content in a matter of minutes and expect more by next week. That's not how it works bud

The constant doomposting this game gets its grating. It has its problems, but people blow it out of proportions

Althought tbf, Warner Bros is not exactly a reasonable parent company. They confirmed the next Suicide Squad update with Deathstroke is the final one

Reading how WB is handling EOS for Suicide Squad makes me wonder if they’ll do the same for MVS someday.

For reference, SS won’t get updates anymore, but players can still play online and offline mode will be added.

They might if they want PFG to move on to another project.

Honestly i wouldn't be surprised if they see the success of Marvel Rivals and ask PFG to do another MVS but as a hero shooter. Could be cool lol

We shall see. Actually, how would each MvS character translate in a hero shooter setting?

Unrelated, maintenance tomorrow. Patch notes will cover the midseason update, with Marceline dropping Dec 17.

Most notably, shields are now enabled in all modes.

It also says Dodge Attacks no longer use dodge meter. I wonder what exactly that means. Does a dodge attack use only 1 bar now? Is it like dodge landing where cutting the iframes short refunds meter, so it uses less than 1 bar? I guess we’ll find out. It makes sense that they‘re letting us be more aggressive, now that we have a strong defensive option to counter it, though.

And there’s another batch of Elusive skins. This time though, distribution seems different.

The final rift of the season is called Rogue Rift and seems to award a new Elusive Jason skin. I wonder if Co-op will help here?

The immediate next rift is “A Festiversus Vampire Invasion” and is Marceline’s rift.

And then when it’s finished two years from now, they’ll be confused as to why it’s not trending anymore and the sales weren’t hitting as expected.

And then the next Smash releases, makes huge numbers, makes platform fighters more trendy again and we rinse and repeat. :nifty:

Yeah Sakurai and his team have such love, they totally don't play favorites and half ass any representation in any capacity! (Sonic, Zelda, DK, anything Kirby related that isn't made by him, etc.)

lmao.
In absolute fairness, a LOT of the weirdness around Sonic Specifically can probably be chalked up to Sega more so than Sakurai.

Some misc things from this update:

1. Fighter Road now lets you unlock who you want at any point except for the last 3.
2. For some reason, the HAHAHAHAHA Banner was changed to a new rarity called Prestige. Nothing else was changed.

Marceline. It’s for Marceline. You can hear her at the end.
Ah. I had ruled her out since she shows up pretty prominently in gameplay footage not long before that.

Also should we count Bugs’ sweater as a Daffy tease? It’s pretty obvious he’ll have a matching Rabbit Season one.

Maybe he can be the next character which may work as a way to promote the upcoming looney tunes film here in america.

Wabbit woods drops next season

Feeling pretty confident about Daffy right now
For what it's worth, Wabbit Season has been ready for a long while (and is one of several stages that are done but just waiting), and historically they've been very bad about actually releasing newcomers and their respective stages together. Midnight Showing, Candy Kingdom, Townsville, Titans Tower, and Back to the Past all came long before or after Gizmo and Stripe, Banana Guard, Powerpuff Girls, Raven, and Samurai Jack. We still don't have stages, leaked or otherwise, for Betelgeuse, Agent Smith, Iron Giant, or the Wicked Witch despite all of them having multiple suitable options, while Crystal Lake and Cat Concerto aren't in the "ready" batch yet. Add onto that the lack of any signs of characters from Dexter's Lab, Animaniacs, Over the Garden Wall, Pinky and the Brain, or Primal in the code despite all of them having stages either in the game or ready to go, and it gets dicier.

I 100% think Wabbit Season is coming in season five. But while Daffy is possible, he's not a guarantee. I still think it'll be Aquaman and the Wicked Witch just based on how much those two have.

Speaking of stages can I just say I get why they have the generic stages in rotation but God I hate playing on them. They're so boring to look at, especially with all the artistic love the actual stages were given.

Considering Tekken, MvC, GranBlue, and Dragon Ball are here, Multiversus is effectively the “obligatory platform fighter” slot.

And even then, I’m surprised it got nominated in the first place considering it won two years ago.

If I were in charge, rereleases, content updates, and DLC would only be eligible for the “best ongoing” category.
