MultiVersus General Discussion

[Schnee117]

Never forget...

There'll never be a bigger crash than rushing Game of Thrones because you got a Star Wars gig, running the show into the ground and killing most, if not all of the discussion around GoT in the process AND then losing the Star Wars gig.

That was Funny Who was that at the end?

The showrunners and writers for the series.

there's no main one after Bugs

A case can be made for Daffy. He's second most prominent overall, was a duo act with Bugs for decades, and had that big push in the 2000's where most LT works around them revolved around him, including his own show.

That said, Taz also has his own show and was ridiculously popular during LT's 90's resurgence, so I wouldn't say he's an odd choice at all.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Daffy is definitely the second biggest Looney Tune. Then it'd be Porky, but after that, there's no order. But if you wanna go by appearances in the classic shorts:

Marvin and Taz both have five each.

I was actually wondering the same thing.

Don’t worry my dad is a looney tunes expert as soon as he wakes up we’ll have the answer


Or I suppose I could google it. Turns out RR never did and wil.e should have more appearances

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

One thing to keep in mind for this ongoing game is that besides marketing (and occasionally favorites like Velma), some characters initially get in over others for practical reasons (while Morty did get in before Rick, both were still announced together), so it's really a case-by-case basis.

Meanwhile, in NASB, the staff mainly lobbies for characters that are interesting/they or the fans like, since there's no guarantee that it'll have a long support cycle.

On a lighter semi-related note, Harley's spin-off got renewed for another season.

As cool as Gwen and Vilgax would be, I don't think they'd pass over Ben when he's the one with all the requests.

This.

And no, the what-if episode in which Gwen had the Omnitrix is not an excuse, either, before anyone brings that up.

It's...hard to say, actually. Though it does help that when Road Runner doesn't appear with him, Bugs Bunny is there instead, I guess.

That list is definitely inaccurate. The numbers are off for several characters, Wile E Coyote has been in more shorts than Road Runner, etc.

Daffy was the third most reoccurring back in the day, that much is true, but even after the original shorts ended, he was always second most prominent after Bugs. (Also Porky's appearances dwindled a lot over the course of the original run)

Interesting enough he brought that the original leaker of Multiversus while talking about Walter White's Chances mentioned that Ben 10 is currently being worked on.

Those numbers are from the classic shorts that are like 60 years old, at this point they don't really matter. Taz has become way more popular recently. Besides, number of apparences doesn't mean popularity. There's no way Bosko is more popular than Wile and Road runner.

Not to mention they’re wrong anyway

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

In any case, while Porky is still a long shot for this game (in the foreseeable future), they still went to the trouble of giving him the iconic "That's All, Folks!" animation as a ring-out VFX, since he's heavily associated with it.

As for tomorrow's announcement, maybe it's the arcade mode?

You're right to an extent, but since the classic shorts are the original material, I still think they have the most prominence.

 

[fogbadge]

It is also worth noting that number log appearances doesn’t affect their prominence. For example the character Michigan J Frog only appeared in about two shorts, one froggy evening and another froggy evening, but he used to be WBs mascot

Yeah Porky is weird because he's objectively very popular but at this point he's mostly known for the "That's all folks" line and his personality change so much over time that I think that making a moveset with him would be pretty hard. Maybe they'll figure something out later in the game life but for now I think that Porky will be low priority in comparaison to other Looney Tunes characters.

To be more accurate. They go for characters based on the memes. Hence Nigel and Hugh getting in over their own children.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Regardless, for Looney Tunes, they seem to be picking characters based on moveset potential. Some of the characters don't have anything they're known for and would be able to fight with, but Taz has spinning and eating, and Marvin has alien technology.

So Wile E. Coyote next?

Dude definitely has moveset potential out of the next following Looney Tunes.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Given precedence with LeBron James, our next Looney Tunes rep shall be Brendan Fraser

 

[Deleted member]

Hugeleakeractualy apparently says Walter is probably not happening anytime soon (no real surprise there), possibly never. Doesn't mean he's definitely not happening, things can change and maybe the memes will win out. But it was always kind of a long shot.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Hey what about Michael Jordan?

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

To be more accurate. They go for characters based on the memes. Hence Nigel and Hugh getting in over their own children.

Not the only reason. The other one is, other characters were picked solely so the roster is not predictable (i.e. Oblina, Powdered Toast Man, two of the TMNT characters not being the Turtles themselves). They even left out Clyde for the Loud House side.

Hey what about Michael Jordan?

I could see him as a variant of LeBron.

Hugeleakeractualy apparently says Walter is probably not happening anytime soon (no real surprise there), possibly never. Doesn't mean he's definitely not happening, things can change and maybe the memes will win out. But it was always kind of a long shot.

I'm fine with that, since I'm not particularly interested in him. Maybe the Goku fans will rise again, or will a completely different character be rallied behind?

Regardless, for Looney Tunes, they seem to be picking characters based on moveset potential. Some of the characters don't have anything they're known for and would be able to fight with, but Taz has spinning and eating, and Marvin has alien technology.

Besides my obvious Martian pick that isn't Marvin, there is someone I can think of that's a closer shot. Quite literally, as a matter of fact.

 

[Opossum]

Yeah Porky's biggest thing going against him is arguably what makes him memorable: his everyman status in a franchise of oddballs. I'd sooner expect Daffy, Wile E., or even Foghorn Leghorn.

He also pointed out that Ben 10 is in development which lines up to Tony & his team focusing on putting some characters people want as the main focus.

Source on the hugeleakeractually claim?

Btw, Papagenos on a roll with the videos. Guess Multiversus provides more material for speculation than smash used to do, even if most of the characters we are getting have been guessed or leaked.

 

[Wademan94]

Imagine if after Daffy, they go for a more out there choice for a fifth LT rep like Granny or Gossamer

He'll probably come eventually.

is gossamer really that out there? he seeems like a natural fit for this kind of game

I mean out there in terms of popularity and overall appearances/relevance, also aside from potentially being a bruiser or tank, I don’t think his moveset potential is as obvious as some of the others.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Incidentally, Gossamer does have his own ring-out VFX. They do seem to have him in mind, to an extent.

 

[Opossum]

Granny would be interesting because she'd offer fitting representation for the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons without being a retread of Tom and Jerry's gimmick.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Speedy Gonzalez could also be pretty interesting but I remember that there was some controversy around him because of how he portrayed Mexican stereotypes (although they still used him in Space jam 2 while Pepe le pew was Cut from the movie so I guess they could add Speedy in the game).

And I just had an Idea about what they could do with Porky. Just make him an announcer voice pack even if he's not playable. Datamine spoiler

Spoiler

we know that Lady Raincorn and BMO Will be announcer even if they're not playable so Porky could be the same.

If he does, I hope they can get Gabriel Iglesias to reprise him, he made a great Speedy but was underused in SJ2

 

[LimeTH]

Turns out that was the studio making the decision on behalf of Mexican people, who WB thought they would be offended. Turns out in Mexico, they actually love Speedy (they see him as a superhero) and demanded he and his cartoons be unbanned.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

The more I thought about it.

Wile E. Coyote and Starro the Conqueror are two other characters on my most wanted list.

Starro especially being another big character like The Iron Giant.

i'm not really into the idea of seeing an old lady get beaten up, let alone one who seems elderly....then again she might hit you right in the kissah for misjudging her.

I’ve never thought about adding Starro. Now I want this bad. Thanks for that.

Ha, ha! You're welcome.

I'd make a support thread for him but I don't have the motivation to do so. ;P
