MultiVersus General Discussion

[Deleted member]

Ooh, additional characters are coming? Now that's a good sign for us people of the Caitlin Crusaders and (can't think of a good alliterative name for Tazelwurm wanters)

Either way, hope the release and further development goes well

Plenty more characters are planned. What we have currently is not the final base roster and this being a F2P game means they'll keep adding content for years, as long as the game does well.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Well the premium founder pack has 30 characters token so I'm assuming that they have plan for at least 30 characters but probably more than that.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

This is all good news for me. 30 characters is a lot of room for my most wanteds to get in, even IF they're super obscure. If I can get them a lot of notice, with some tenacity and a lot of luck...I MIGHT get Caitlin.

Might.

I'd probably get to making her support thread if I weren't so preoccupied with glugging soda and spamming Corrin's side B in Ultimate right now.

 

[ivanlerma]

Welp, I downloaded Multiversus' Beta but TOO BAD my computer doesn't have enough space to play it.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Either way server are full and a lot of people including me are stuck in the home screen. Honestly I'm not surprised that there's some issue, going to try later tonight.

what there’s no offline?

 

[CapitaineCrash]

I think you have to be always online but unsure. Personally I'm stuck because my PSN can't sync with my WB account and you can't play before that.

WB servers in general are getting hit hard right now, even MK11 is having issues.

how obnoxious

 

[LimeTH]

Anyone else keep getting stuck on "Syncing Account State"? This a server problem or something?

I was stuck there too but now it seems to work.

 

[LimeTH]

There's a way to earn Gleanium without spending money, right?

 

[CapitaineCrash]

There's a way to earn Gleanium without spending money, right?

Yeah you earn gold while playing but Gleanium is real money only. This means that a lot of stuff are locked behind real money.

 

[LimeTH]

Yeah you earn gold while playing but Gleanium is real money only. This means that a lot of stuff are locked behind real money.

And so far the only skin you can get with gold is the Iron Giant without the S on him.

Classy.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So how is Multiversus so far for y'all?

well that’s put a significant dent in my interest in the game

Legitimately wondering how y'all expected the game to make money if the fact that the cosmetics are monetized is off-putting. Like...it's a free to play game.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Got some more characters I want.

George the Ape
Killer Croc
Lizzie the Dinosaur
Lobo
Peacemaker
Ralph the Wolf
Reptile
Rhedosaurus
Starro the Conqueror

Well yeah. I know that. That's not the thing I'm up against. I'm happy characters aren't locked behind real money or anything.

The thing is games like this usually have the option to work for your premium currency doing missions or grinding matches and such, while the people with the money to spend can just go and get everything right off the bat if they so please. Even other fighting games with cosmetics behind money like SFV had something like this.

It's not a huge deal breaker but it is disappointing, especially with how expensive some of these cosmetics appear to be,

 

[Capybara Gaming]

I'm honestly disappointed they relocked the roster again. Hell, they locked even more characters it looks like.

I think some of them appear in the premium battle pass so you can save money that way, but yeah the fact that you have to pay for having taunt is a bit sad. At the very least you can unlock characters through gameplay but I feel like you will need to play a lot to unlock everyone without paying real money. Personally I'm not against throwing a few bucks at the game to have the full roster (or at the very least more characters faster) but I don't see me paying just for a few taunts and skins.

So how is Multiversus so far for y'all?

Pretty fun so far, I think my bigest problem with the game is the UI overall. The game has a lot of moves with buffs and debuffs, which I really like, it's a fun concept for a 2 vs 2 focus platform fighter, but sometimes there's a lot of information on top of you're character.

I'm honestly disappointed they relocked the roster again. Hell, they locked even more characters it looks like.

Yeah some characters that were starting in the alpha are now unlockables.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I myself am gonna wait until the full release of the game.

 

[ivanlerma]

I can't play the game cause i don't have a steam deck and my computer doesn't have enough space.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I'll probably wait for the full release myself. You never know what could happen between now and then. Hopefully any criticism is taken into account.

 

[LimeTH]

So how is Multiversus so far for y'all?

S'pretty good. It feels kinda clunky compared to Smash and NASB but it's fun in it's own way.

 

[Fields - Ultimate's Great]

Yeah the stage selection is really weak, it feels like they put a lot of effort in the characters but not really in the stage. The Scooby-doo one isn't even based on a specific mansion fron the show but it's just a very generic mansion that looks like it could have come from any cartoon with a mansion in it. And Looney tunes of all thing don't even have a stage despite being easily the biggest ip reprenseted here.

Are there any specific mansions that are even notable? None of them are really iconic.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Stage discussion has me wondering what stages you guys wanna see in this game in the future.

Obviously, knowing who I want most for this game, I'd be pretty happy to get a Galleria Mall stage alongside her. Add a Camp Wawanakwa stage too, since Total Drama was a big deal for CN back in the day.

Going off my top 10 most wanted characters:
1. The Eds from Ed Edd n Eddy would have the Cul De Sac
2. A Wizard of Oz character could get the Emerald City.
3. Gilligan would have the Island
4. The Robotron 2084 Hero would have a shared “Midway Arcade” stage with other Midway characters (seriously I don’t think a “solo Robotron” stage could work)
5. Stripe from Gremlins is a bit tougher. Maybe the toy store where the final battle of the first film took place?
6. Austin Powers I’m gonna cheat and say Dr Evil’s lair
7. For Courage, the Middle of Nowhere is the primary location. Maybe have King Ramses and the Slab in the background.
8. Ruby would have Remnant as her home.
9. Professor Fate is a tough one. I propose either the Saloon with the Texas Jack battle or the Bakery with the pie fight scene.
10. Starfire is an extremely easy one. She would get Titans Tower.

I kinda don't have any if I'm being honest. Stages are a footnote in this game and the music ain't up to snuff either. I'm a little impressed that MVS is going so hard on characters and not even trying with stages in comparison tbh. Every other platform fighter would've tried to balance out stages and the current roster to some degree.

 

[LimeTH]

The stages are absolutely disappointing.

The new Steven Universe stage being variants on Battlefield and Final Destination but with one of the less interesting Gem locales in the background is a serious let down. Youre not even at the Sky Arena, you're on a platform and the Sky Arena is just kinda back there.

They kept the Trophy's Edge variant with the hole in the middle, which is terrible because that stage is garbage. It's bar none the most miserable stage in the game to play on.

Batcave at least kinda feels like they tried. Treehouse could have been way better. Scooby Mansion sucks.

its not something i was even considering to be honest

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Yeah that's true but at least I would have add some iconic Scooby Doo vilains in the background like Space kook, the mummy, the creeper etc. So it would at least feel like a Scooby Doo stages.

Total drama stage would be cool but I don't think CN actually own that, it's a Canadian show that they aired.

Oh yeah the music is awful honestly. They did the same mistake than NASB which is doing original composition, but sticking very close to the original style even if doesn't work for a fighting game. It work a bit for the Steven universe stage but the Scooby Doo music is way too ambient.

 

[Deleted member]

It being monetized heavily was obvious. It's a F2p game full of licensed stuff. I'm just hoping they work some of the kinks out.

 

[ivanlerma]

At least The Steven Stage has this, they used some background character ships that make them feel nostalgic.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Even if I don't very like the music (aside from the Batcave one is actually pretty good), I have to give credit to the overall sound design. Each hit have a very unique sounds and it's always very fitting, I especially like Bugs Bunny Who is full of sound that reminds me of classic Looney tunes and classic cartoons in general.

 

[fogbadge]

Ok a couple things I’d like to know

1: will the game kick me out if the connection goes down?

2: why are there different versions if it’s free to play?

3: how different does Steven sound?

1. I’m not sure about connection. Yesterday around 1 pm I started getting dropped from games due to server overload.

2. The different versions are founders packs. They are optional.

3. I’m not a Steven Universe expert so I can’t answer that.

 

[osby]

3: how different does Steven sound?

His new voice actor does a pretty good job, imo.

You can tell he's someone new but he still sounds like how you'd expect Steven to sound.

so it does operate on a level similar to cloud gaming

but why have different packs if theyre all free?

well ok then
