I'm really enjoying the character class archetypes, Bruiser, assassin, tank, etc. I'm hoping for a Trickster archetype that will most likely go to characters like Joker.. Right? That's one archetype I feel is missing at least. I hope we see Specialists.

A Dev positively responded to a fan of Steven Universe in terms of Steven's model that seemed to be slightly off from his default design. I really couldn't tell the difference, but maybe I'm not as much as a fan of SU as I originally thought. Fan reception is a great way to progression tho.
Good thing OK K.O. is practically never on-model, then, so at least there'd almost be no fuss if that series gets in. For the game adaptation, they straight up used a different art style.

Trickster would fit the Warners, too.

I for one would want to see Godzilla mix it up with Lizzie. Also, George with King Kong for that matter.

That said, here are the guesses from the WMG page on TV Tropes:


I doubt that Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh could qualify very much but other than that...

I'm sorry to crush some dreams, but some of Characters won't join the Battle.:
1. Some of them they don't have moveset potential.
2. Would look extremely out of place.
3. Some of them are Obscure characters.
4. Sometimes some characters on list are hated, so it can decrease chance for joining the Battle.
5. Some of them better work as NPCs like Boss or Assist Trophy.

The TV Tropes users are just covering the bases and/or every possibility they can think of (although the launch roster already has most of the biggest names, so it'll get more obscure by default over time).

Though I don't think we'll even get assists. Cameos, maybe.
Also, even if some characters are hated, some folks would still like to punch them in the face. :ultduckhunt:

That said, the reason why the game has the artstyle it does is so any character could be able to fit in more smoothly. You can't say that Arya would be able to do so at all if they went the PSASBR route.

1. They added Shaggy using the power of memes. I don't think moveset potential can rule out anyone.
2. Literally how? We have cartoons clashing over with comic books and Game of freaking Thrones. I don't think anyone can possibly look out of place.
3. People have noticed that the Nothing from Neverending Story has been namedropped in some stuff. Few things are more obscure than that, considering the franchise went completely unused for 40 years. "Too obscure" isn't a reason at all.
4. Hatred is subjective. For example, I liked Byleth's addition in Smash Ultimate :p
5. Which we don't know if they're things in this game. Looking at it like Smash when we don't even know if it'll have everything Smash does is a big mistake.

Yeah, but they sometimes share Godzilla for movies, yknow?
WB takes license for Godzilla and boom, Godzilla is also WB IP, but it's shared with Toho, which it own Godzilla.
They don't "share" Godzilla.

Toho simply allows WB to use Godzilla. They always have the power to cancel whatever WB does with the kaiju by just saying "no"

1. You should really understand that some characters they have made-up movesets, so it doesn't mean that they are worth Fighting. Take an Example for Paperboy, which he only rides on bike and throws newspapers, and he doesn't know how to punch a person, since he could be Lighthearted person and he doesn't want to hurt anyone around him.

2. Some of Characters really look extremely out of Place like Paperboy again for Example, which he only rides on Bike and gives newspapers for people. He won't fit in roster according to my opinion, because he would look weird.

3. Yeah, Nothing is the character of Obscure series, because he is memorable while other characters are forgettable.

4. Actually, you're right on right side, but on other side, there are some hated characters that people don't want them in the Game.

5. We're just predicting the Game, the release date is 2022, so we could expect some stuff that we don't know about. We're basically speculating Multiversus.

They don't "share" Godzilla.

Toho simply allows WB to use Godzilla. They always have the power to cancel whatever WB does with the kaiju by just saying "no"
You're right.
But it doesn't mean that Godzilla can't appear on Multiversus, since Licensing from Toho is not a big issue.

Except it is an issue because Toho has very strict guidelines and if even a single one gets done slightly wrong, Toho pulls the plug on the entire project.

Every single Godzilla movie that WB has put out with Legendary Pictures (I should point out that WB doesn't own Legendary, they just collaborate, just in case you get that wrong too) has actually been a legal nightmare because of that.

And wouldn't you know it, but one of those guidelines is, I **** you not, that Godzilla is not allowed to emote.

Now try and make a wide assortment of taunts for Godzilla when the guy isn't even allowed to smile.

1. Godzilla roars into the sky.
2. Godzilla stomps the ground repeatedly, creating cracks in the floor.
3. A small building appears and Godzilla knocks it over.
From what I saw in the Multiversus trailer, taunts seem to be a customizable thing.

There's not gonna be just three. Each character could potentially have dozens, except you're only limited to four at a time.

Trying to be a "look, I can think of stuff you can't" kind of person isn't dulling my point.

Godzilla's deconfirmed. Toho is too strict to give Godzilla for Fighting Game.

I'm not trying to say it's impossible.

There's just a LOT of stars that need to align in just the right way for it to be pulled off.

In a way, I can see Godzilla be to MultiVersus what Sora is to Smash.

Ehhhh, fine.

Godzilla can join the Roster if Toho allows it.
But they better need to scale him down like Ridley.
What makes Godzilla's situation sadder is that if Warner really deems a MonsterVerse rep as necessary for MultiVersus, there's a way easier option for them than Godzilla because they fully own King Kong, another very iconic kaiju.

That doesn't mean Godzilla can't happen. Just that it'd be easier to get King Kong.

And yeah, a kaiju would obviously be scaled down. No way around it.

So happy to see Osmosis on it. The Conjuring would never get in tho. Leonides, Xerxes/300 would be interesting. They are the rightful meme picks other than Shaggy. Pokemon would never get in.

Honestly, King Kong would be a perfect monsterverse rep if Godzilla can't. Godzilla would be essentially better as a boss. King Kong is more scalable and can be the DK of Multiversus.

I really don't blame you, at least Harley got the door open for her fellow sirens.

Plus King Kong is pretty much in the public domain anyway, so we could still get our Kong Vs. George matches. 🦍🐵

And yeah, it'd be fun to use this specific meme as a rebuttal for arguments.


On a side note, while Johnny Test technically changed hands a lot, it'd be completely hilarious to have that and Dexter's Laboratory in the same game.

oh god I've already been seeing some people hate on the Rampage Trio, saying its either Godzilla or bust, I can already see the rants happening if George, Lizzie, Ralph, heck even someone like Blizzard or Sauron from Primal Rage get in over Godzilla and Kong.

I doubt we're saying Johnny. While he has attributes of his own, he kinda was everything Dexter was. I see your suggestion tho. I'd be hilarious.

Yeah, though at any rate we still have plenty to work with.

Dendy would be interesting as a Dexter analogue at least, since she can pull a Sonic Juice with her kit way before No More Heroes III was a thing, though it would depend on OK K.O. getting in at all.

Good to see the concept of "Why not both?" Is lost on the public yet again. 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, especially Mordecai and Rigby as Duo Fighter.
They have a lot of potential for their moveset like Surreal stuff during middle of episodes, that would be crazy.
Yeah, I could see that happen. If solo can't work out, having them as an alternative for Tom and Jerry is the best solution.

This is pretty silly.


No one is really claiming that Warner Bros wants to recreate Smash's magic. Both games can in fact have their own magic tho. Both are perfect scenarios for characters that can't get in either game. And to add, The current IP's confirmed in Multiversus mash pretty well together for lack of a better word. All it takes is a little imagination and removing them from what canon would suggest.

Can't wait for his "Disney Multiversus looks like the ip nightmare" post ..

On the topic of kaiju getting scaled down, it wouldn't exactly be new. The Big G himself was the same size as the other characters in the Compati Hero series.

This is pretty silly.

I feel like the Steven Universe episode "Say Uncle" serves as a precedent for this kind of thing: a CN-involved crossover that has fun with the crossing series involved without needing to be concerned about canon or any other such complications (especially seeing as the extent of it here is just "The Nothing wrecks **** in every universe").

I can't lie, the idea of characters like Alex DeLarge and Jack Torrance getting into MultiVersus is ridiculously funny to me, to such an extent that they would be amazing to see. Characters like Freddy Kreuger at least have enough of a suspension of disbelief that he'd make sense, but Alex DeLarge and his stage, South London, would be unreasonably hilarious to me

Sign Gonna go a bit of a rampage here..

I kinda wish Warner Bros would buy the rights to the Avatar/Korra franchises. I always wanted Avatar on my favorite network and always seen them fitting better. I would really like to see Avatar or even Korra alone pulled from the studios that doesn't really deserve it.

I could totally see the cast of Avatar/Korra mash well with the Teen Titans/Young Justice, aesthetically. The chemistry between both universes would also be masterful. We'd also start to see the Avatar/Korra universe finally done justice in terms of proper video game adaption. The potential is almost unbearable, this ever so expanding franchise needs to be passed on to greater heights bruh.

Dude, too bad.
Nickelodeon has Rights to Avatar/Legend of Korra, so it's difficult to change it.
