An arcade mode will make the game seem alittle less barebones, so that's good news. I'm hoping they fix local multiplayer as well. Currently, there's no way to play with 3 players locally, ya can't add bots to the mix, you can't play online 2v2 with an offline partner, if it's just 2 players, you're only allowed to play 1v1, etc. It'll be interesting to see how the game evolves. The beta is solid for what it is, but there's a lot of room for improvement for sure

i can agree with that, though i am confused about the local multiplayer part since i assume there were players i fought against & not bots(i didn't even try the bots mode to add on that).

Oh and an arcade mode I guess
Noice, finally. I suspected that getting this ready might have been the reason for the delay. Soon it'll be time to give the Nothing what for.

But yeah, it makes sense to give LeBron all the outfits he had in SJ2. Also, about time Bugs got the Brunhilde getup.

That all said, it's likely that the base game proper could launch right after the 15th, if not a few days later.

I hope that there's some rewards to complete Arcade mode like a banner based on the character we finished with for example. If not I'm probably not going to do it and stick to online, but at least it's nice that the dev want to add more solo content even on a free to play hame.
Regardless of what happens, I'll enjoy playing Arcade mode as a break from inconsistently winning/losing online matches. Although having new stages for variety's sake over time would be nice, the selection is a bit puny at the moment.

Still though I can't help but wonder if there'll be any character announcements by next month, depending on how long the season 1 battle pass lasts. Supposedly leaked characters may have gotten further along by now.

Marvin the Martian according to some people is almost done and may be announced soon.

Makes sense, seeing as his announcer lines were spoiled a while back before the recent voice line leak.

Also, I'm happy to hear that Daphne has gotten a possible leak as well.
Where was Daphne leaked? It's gonna be weird that this game might have the entirety of Mystery Inc. on the roster and yet NASB doesn't even have all the turtles.

It would feel weirder for me if this game possibly adds the TMNT later on (due to their history with DC crossovers) and Leo and Mikey get movesets that differ heavily.

Meanwhile, poor Fred evidently is prioritized the least out of the whole gang, but I guess making a moveset for the trap specialist would be a bit difficult.

I'm not seeing anything about Daphne here. You sure you got the right link?

Hmm, I'll try this instead. The account itself got yeeted.

The Hound (GOT)
Beetlejuice (Beetlejuice)
Godxilla (Monsterverse)
Wicked Witch (Wizard of Oz)
Emmet[Lego Character] (The Lego Movie)
Daphne (SD)
KEEP IN MIND SOME OF THIS ARE JUST MENTIONS BUT THE MAJORITY ARE MARKED AS ENEMY OR FOE.

I guess if Peach can get a moveset despite being the damsel in distress, anything’s possible

In any case, real or not, things are leaning towards at least most of the Mystery gang getting in. It'd be weird to leave out Scoob entirely.

On a different topic, if Emmett does get in, could Wyldstyle be likely as a skin?

Like Peach, Daphne does at least have some in-universe justification in some iterations of the franchise. The live-action version with Sarah Michelle Gellar is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Daphne is just coming from the lines of Velma mentioning her but none of them state she's playable, same with Robin who's also in the leak.

The entire Daphne (and Robin) thing comes from a clear misunderstanding/the poster piggybacking off the real leaker being dumb.

Daphne and Robin are mentioned offhandedly by Velma and Harley, respectively, but the lines themselves aren't DIRECTED toward them.

IIRC they're like, "Daphne taught me this one!" and "I'm gonna do to you what I did to Robin." Anyone looking at that in context would realize they're not being referred to as playable.

wouldn't that make more sense as a joker line than a harley one?

Well, yeah. There's nothing indicating that Daphne or Robin are gonna be playable.

And then Lebron Robin has unique lines against batman too so when a character name is mentioned doesn't mean they are coming.

Those two aren't even unique, there are other characters with namedrops that aren't playable. Off the top of my head, Shaggy references Scooby and Steven references Connie.

Velma has a line mentioning daphine but it's very much about her and not to her. It's a reference and not a call out iirc.

The only way to know about some characters for sure is when the content support eventually stops. There are still people out there who would ask for them no matter what happens, even if the leaks for them are fake.

Also, Nightwing is a thing, so any actual Robins wouldn't necessarily be needed imo.

No joker yet so maybe they still wanted to reference it
Leaving out the Joker for this would be tantamount to marketing suicide. He's shown up in WB-related fighting games fairly consistently, so in his case it's a question of "when" rather than "if". Referring to him really doesn't mean a thing for his chances because he's pretty much a given.

I figure that for the launch they wanted to focus more on wider WB characters, so for now DC simply has the Big Three plus Harley (who's pretty much on a class of her own as a noteworthy anti-hero) to represent it.

One thing I've been wondering about recently is how the CSS will look like in the long run. In other modes, the squares can easily be shrunken or there can be several rows of them in the same size, but for online matchmaking it's a bit dicey. The models for the chosen fighters take up most of the screen there.

Richard Grayson isn't the only Robin. Quite a few different people have held the title of Robin. Others they could add include Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, and Carrie Kelley.
Carrie seems the most obscure out of these (although granted the Lego Batman Robin referenced her visually in design and she randomly showed up in TT Go), so Tim and Damian are likelier, yeah. But in the age of deep cuts, you never know.

Also, I realize that the whole "LeRobin" skin concern is a little silly seeing as the outfit is a reference to an actual scene in SJ2 that has LeBron wear it.

After Scooby himself instead of Daphne or Fred I'd rather have a Scooby Doo vilains like the Phantom virus or Sarah Ravencroft.
Personally speaking, as far as characters outside of the gang go, I think it'd be cool to see the Hex Girls. Or, failing that, the Space Kook for laughs.

Scooby-Doo is gonna be the Fire Emblem of MVS. Mark my words. :4pacman:
Honestly I feel like a potential "Fire emblem" for Multiversus would be Game of thrones. First, GoT doesn't have a main character. There's like 40 "main characters" and while they're not all equally popular, you could probably make a case for a lot of them. Also a lot of them are swordfighter and they don't have unique power or abilities, so they could probably make a lot of them as clones or semi clones.

The datamines included two other GOT reps, those being Daenerys and the Hound.
