MultiVersus General Discussion

[ivanlerma]

So, any possible chance we see Multiversus at the game awards for announcements?

Also, i got a steam deck now.

seems probable

 

[Deleted member]

There's a decent chance. WB are there and we're about due for another character if we're going by the pacing of s1

 

[CapitaineCrash]

If they annonunce someone at Game awards I think it would be someone fairly big. Maybe Joker or Scorpion would make sense.

That being said, I kind of doubt they will be at the Game awards. The team has said that they don't have that much time and budget to do big trailer so I'm not sure that they could do something for a big event like this.

The game awards has lots of smaller stuff sprinked in between trialers (its like 3 hours long) and some of it can be pretty short.

They could easily just not be there though yes.

 

[ivanlerma]

papagenos came back with a new speculation video and said that there was a leak talking about a character announcement but didn't announce who it was.

 

[Deleted member]

Papagenos said we're getting a character at the Game awards tommrow (he knows who but won't spoil it)

Edit:also said we're gonna start getting characters who weren't in the datamines soon (but the character tommrow is a datamined one)

how accurate has he been in the past?

 

[Deleted member]

Turns out there wasn't. Oops. Well there goes that.

 

[LimeTH]

The game did win Best Fighter though.

 

[Schnee117]

Papagenos being full of ****?
Must be a day ending in a Y

 

[Deleted member]

Didn't super buy it and there was other things from the show I'm interested in so it's not a big deal but it does mean to definitely take the tkher things he says about the game with a moutan of salt

Other leakers are claiming the announcement was pulled and was meant to be joker but who knows at this point

 

[ivanlerma]

i was hoping they'd reveal something for Multiversus, it sucks that this is gonna be seen as Multiversus losing attention...unless the fighting game award makes them special.

 

[LimeTH]

I imagine a new character is gonna come along with the winter/holiday event.

Does WB have a version of Santa that’d be a perfect fit for this game?

 

[Schnee117]

DC has a Santa that always delivers coal to Darkseid and he's the reason Darkseid keeps improving the defences on Apokolips

Thank you for giving me another idea for an April Fools candidate for Rate Their Chances.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Not sure about Santa but they do have a bunch of christmas movie that could make funny characters. They own Elf and Jack Frost (the 1998 movie with Michael Keaton, not the horror one) for example. They also have Polar express but since this is based on a book the rights could be more complicated (The train could make an awesome stage). Aside from that a bunch of WB ip have christmas special which probably features Santa. Schnee mentionned DC Comics, but Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, Adventure time, Regular show, Gumball and probably a bunch of other cartoon WB own had christmas special at some point. They also have Harold and Kumar which had a chrismtas special movie and they own National Lampoon christmas series.

 

[osby]

Speaking of winter movies, WB also made Smallfoot, which I think can potentially get a Tank character later down the line.

Btw this thought just randomly popped into my head so many people say something along these lines: "Scorpion cant have a Fatality as a Move"
Yes he can Dont you guys forget that toasty Exists? Its a Fatality that Immeadiatly buns away All the Gore so the only Non PG Part is the Blood Curdeling Scream and maybe the Realistic Skeleton other than that the move and the Phrase Fatality could be easily included In Multiversus!
I mean Bowser also burns into a skeleton in NSMB!

Honestly I think the best and safest course of action to take with Fatalities is to just have them launch the opponent offscreen or have them disappear in an explosion like with Stamina matches in Smash Ultimate. Both would probably fit the game mechanics better and some characters might be a bit awkward to design skeletons for

 

[Torgo the Bear]

My thought on Mortal Kombat blood would be:
If the game is set to mature language, it will also include blood from Mortal Kombat characters’ attacks. Fatalities will be less obviously brutal, but will still produce some blood.
But, if the game is not set to mature, then it will be a funny reference to one of the worse Mortal Kombat ports and replace the blood with sweat. The fatalities will still be animated the same but just won’t have any blood.

 

[Opossum]

Considering we have a toned down version of Arya cutting off people's faces and turning people's corpses into meat pies, toned down Fatalities that mostly involve impalement and burning are nothing in comparison.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Honestly I could see them just ignore fatality. Sure, it's pretty much Mortal kombat most iconic thing, but I think the characters have more than enough moveset potential so it could be ignored and it wouldn't be a huge deal. Or maybe just reference them in the victory animations or something? I don't think it really need to be part of the moveset.

 

[Deleted member]

Scorpion and Sub-Zero where in Injustice. You can do them without fatalities

If they do decide to have them, I think maybe the easiest way to incorporate it into the moveset is, if the character has a command grab, if it hits while the opponent is at EXTREMELY high damage (probably like at least 180 or 200 damage or something,) the fatality happens and it deletes the opponent instead of launching them. It's sort of like Goddess of Explosions' or Cruiser Tetron's special throws in Slap City that only work at very high percent. It would only happen very rarely, but it would be hype when it happens.

 

[ivanlerma]

I imagine the mortal kombat characters could get away with breaking characters bones from their skeletons being shown though bringing the cinematic parts of it could distract the players.

Hum no. There's no way in hell they can show breaking bones in a T rated games. A game with this rating can have minimal violence and a little bit of blood, but breaking bones is way too gruesome. If the game had cinematic special move they would just take inspiration from Fatal blows from 11 but with less blood.

I see it being a special condition where it’s activated on the second round after the opponent is alone and has taken enough damage, they are stunned for a few seconds and the MK characters have the option to activate the fatality with the special command for an instant kill but it goes away if the player or their ally uses any other attacks on them

I honestly don’t think blood is really needed for this game and it wouldn’t make sense on certain characters like Garnet. The existing attack effects would be just fine and would fit better for the game.

I imagine the mortal kombat characters could get away with breaking characters bones from their skeletons being shown though bringing the cinematic parts of it could distract the players.

We have the armor break icon as a snapped bone, I think it’d be cool if the MK characters had normal attacks that use those moves to armor break as reference to the X-Rays/Krushing Blows

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Alright, I think I found my perfect roster; upping it to 50, this would be my ideal case for the game. It's not gonna happen, but it'd be really rad if it did. If one of the characters here is next to be confirmed, replace them with one of the Animaniacs, your choice on which you'd prefer.

I'd replace Darkseid with both the warners as a trio fighter, they'd fight similarly to their video game Animaniacs: The Video Game for Super Nintendo, even though i haven't played or seen videos of the game.

I just wanted another DC villain specifically, but considering I used some of the leaks to help with that list so if one gets in there's room for an Animaniacs rep

You better watch out,
Don’t commit crimes,
You better not rob a bank, this is why:
Sup-er-man is coming to town.

He’s got laser eyes,
And breath made of ice,
He’ll beat up the naughty and bring gifts to the nice,
Sup-er-man is coming to town.
