MultiVersus General Discussion

[Opossum]

going with the first number that popped into my head, 3 and a half

Unironically this could happen, depending on how much Pickle Rick takes from Base Rick, considering he apparently used to be a costume.

People on X/Twitter are reporting that the official X/Twitter account for the game recently got affiliated with the official WB Games account. It must’ve have been very recently, as someone pointed out it wasn’t there last week.

Now, I’m not saying news is imminent, but it is nice for the account to go from “nothing” to “affiliated with the WB Games account”

 

[Oracle Link]

Got bored so I decided to redo my top 10 most wanted characters list. One restriction I had was to ignore all leaks:

1. Ed, Edd, and Eddy (either separate (If only one Ed gets in I hope for Edd) or together)
2. Any character from The Wizard of Oz
3. Gilligan (Gilligan’s Island)
4. Ruby Rose (RWBY)
5. The Robotron 2084 Hero
6. Starfire (DC Comics, can be any version)
7. Neo (The Matrix)
8. Ace Ventura
9. Kayley (Quest for Camelot)
10. Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)

Even this Starfire?

 

[CapitaineCrash]

So we have a small hint for a future character.



To be honest there's a lot of possibility, but if I really had to guess the first that come to mind would be either Atrocitus or Yosemite Sam.

Maybe Daffy Duck?

He constantly expresses anger in the classic Looney Tunes shorts.

Daffy was the first character I thought of and I can definitely see it.

Two other character ideas I thought of could be Buttercup from the PowerPuff Girls or Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.

"Wow Pesto, I can't believe you're in Multiversus."

"...Whaddaya mean by that?"

"You know, you're in Multiversus!"

"I'm in Multiversus? Are you sayin' I'm part of an overused storytellin' trope used by Hollywood in their superhero films? Are you sayin' I'm a result of the corporate suits bankin' on nostalgia to make a quick buck because they're afraid'a actually makin' somethin' new? Is that what you're sayin'?!"

"No, no! I'm just sayin' you're a fighter in Multiversus now!"

"I'm in Multiversus?"

"Yeah!"

"THAT'S IT!"

Does anybody think they'll show a trailer next month at the game awards?

it's possible, but we'll have to hear if they'll do show off a trailer before 2024 begins.

This doesn’t really have anything to do with Multiversus, but it is something WB related that I thought is important:

In the Q3 Earnings call, David Zaslav mentioned the following regarding WB games:

Our focus is on transforming our biggest franchises from largely console and PC based with three-four year release schedules to include more always on gameplay through live services, multiplatform and free-to-play extensions with the goal to have more players spending more time on more platforms. Ultimately we want to drive engagement and monetization of longer cycles and at higher levels. We have put specific capabilities. We are currently under scale and see significant opportunity to generate greater post purchase revenue.

I know Multiversus is already a free to play live service multiplatform game, but what are everyone’s thoughts on how this would turn out for other franchises such as Lego or Mortal Kombat?

I think it’s a foolish idea as the gaming community is turning away from live services

The amount of tone deafness and rich detachment from reality is high even for Zaslav.

Well MK is already pretty much a live service game at this point full of microtransactions so there will be no difference.

They might do a few multiplayer Lego game, but I don't really see them stopping the single player licenced stuff unless they really are that stupid.

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

Out of curiosity: when (or if) Multiversus comes back, what would really make you take notice upon release, or what would you need to incentivise you coming back into the game?

If it's taking a whole year to redo, get rid of the live service formula, and just add characters frequently instead.

As for character reveals, turning Scooby-Doo into an anime swordfighter would intice me, assuming they're willing to commit to the bit.

The point of a live service game is to add stuff frequently. How does one still add characters frequently, but get rid of live service stuff? It makes no sense.

Beside, the game has to do money some way. And unless you want ads like in a mobile games well yes the game is going to have microtransactions and stuff to buy frequently.

 

[darkvortex]

Unfortunately, WB games have just announced that they are planning to commit even harder to live service releases, so I don't expect that, as much a s it would be the right move

 

[Opossum]

Yeah, that's the big thing. That announcement made it so that the live service aspect is the one thing that definitely won't change, as much as it sucks.

 

[Master Hero Sock-on-Rye]

Well, if that's the darn truth, then they might as well get creative more often. See my "Swordie-Doo" example above.

IT’S CANON!!!!!!!

I support your idea! Even if they don’t want to give Scoob a full on sword for his main alt, just have Scoob yield something like a footlong as a sword and exchange it with different variants.

I was thinking more like an Inuyasha homage to go along with Ultra Instinct Shaggy, but this would actually function better as a Scooby-Doo moveset.

Decided to do an overly big 70 character roster.

Basically, it consists of...

- The 23 current characters on the roster

- The 24 leaked characters that, from my perspective, still seem to be happening (so no Gandalf, sadly)

- The 23 characters that I chose to add independent of leaks, that I felt either Should be in or that I would want

Spoiler: Roster Image

Question:
Will Tin Man be able to jump or will he play more closely to the SNES Oz game where he can't?

 

[Opossum]

Question:

I definitely don't think they'd go the route of the NES game lol. I think he'd probably have a lower-end jump height though.

Over all I picked him because I think he'd be a fun Support character who'd be able to use his oil can to buff either himself or his allies, probably through reducing move cool down (making the moves less "rusty"). Add to that being able to plant and chop down trees similar to Villager's down special, and there's quite a bit there to build a set around.

You put The Powerpuff Girls together but no the Eds together?

 

[LimeTH]

All the Eds together really wouldn’t work.

 

[Opossum]

You put The Powerpuff Girls together but no the Eds together?

I put the Powerpuff Girls together only because that's what the datamines currently suggest is the case with them, even if I think they make a lot more sense separated. Same with the Animaniacs and the claim from the original leaker.

The Eds have no evidence pointing toward them being in one way or the other, so I put Ed separately due to having some more freedom there. I've long been a proponent of separate Eds because all three would, and should, fight completely differently (Ed as a tank with tons of armor frames, Double D as a mage/ranged or support character with heavy use of his various gadgets, and Eddy as a bruiser with some sort of moneymaking mechanic from like, a Scam Meter that would buff his specials).

Basically, I hate when characters who CAN be made separate are made into duos for the sake of it. But because I was also adding characters who have been leaked, my hands were tied in certain specific cases.

Spoiler: *cough cough*

I see this sort of thing a lot with Multiversus, to where every cartoon gets a duo fighter request, and complaints that certain characters aren't duo fighters. If anyone thinks, after Finn, Jake, Rick and Morty all being separate characters, that they're going to then cram Mordecai and Rigby into a duo fighter, they're deluding themselves.

Somehow I knew you were going to bring these guys up in response. Nevertheless, I agree that there should be more solo character slots for supposed "duo fighters".


Those Ice Climbers have to pay for their inaccuracies...

I try not to bring it up too much, but nah, yeah, I'm still team "they should have been separated", but that's something for the NASB thread.

I feel like with MVS there's no excuse for people to keep expecting duo fighters since the whole point is it's a 2v2 game. That's why Fin/Jake and Rick/Morty aren't duo fighters, so that people can go co-op as both pairs. Obviously the same thing would make sense for characters like Mordecai and Rigby, the Powerpuff Girls, the Eds, the Warners, etc.

Tom and Jerry are an outlier because they're specifically designed around each other in a way that makes perfect sense, is true to the source material, and is actually preferable to them being separate. I can't see that same concept working with the other characters I listed.
