This has been my biggest fear regarding the delayed patches. Everyone on every system is having fun with Garfield and we Switch users are still stuck with the day one version of the game.

Yeah, I'm guessing at this rate the Mikey infinite patch will be out on Switch around the time the first big balance patch is out on PC...
I think that may end up being the case at this rate... Any paid DLC should be able to come out on every console at the same time, but their current approach to patches seems to be "Put it out on each system as it gets approved," instead of what I believe is the slightly more traditional approach of waiting for it to be approved on every system and then releasing it...

What I'd do in this situation is make Garfield and Shredder free DLC downloadable seperately instead of an update - it would allow people who aren't fans of them or need to save space to not download and hopefully allow them to launch all at once.

A Couple of things to note: Papagenos expressed his opinions on the Warner Brothers Fighting Game, But please take this as his opinions if you don't disagree.
He also mentioned that he'd be making a DLC speculation video for Nick All-Star Brawl Soon, Which sounds nice.
Also some new notes coming from this game, They're going to include Cross Console Play(Let's Hope this means the games on console), voice acting, and Rick Sanchez is rumored to be in the game.

If Multiversus is indeed a bad F2P game a la Brawlhalla, there is still something related to it to be hyped about: the initial leak stated multiple major game studios were working on their own platform fighters. Even if those games also end up being bad, more platfighters is good news - loosening Nintendo's monopoly and providing more titles for devs to learn from is a miracle.

What I want is for one of them to figure out competitive supers in a platfighter, now that would be something.

The downside of this is the possibility of having more lower-quality platform fighters that show that having one that's pretty decent is harder than it looks.
Imitators of specific games is nothing new, but you can tell which are truly memorable when they do it right. Multiversus might be decent if it's not rushed to beyond repair levels, but as it stands few developer companies (mainly indie ones) "get" Smash.
You'd think the lack of a language barrier would actually prevent issues like this from happening, but apparently not.

Should be interesting to see if they even point out specific release dates for each system when he drops.

So, do you think these social media posts from Nick mean anything? I think that at most they mean "Nick corporate wouldn't veto these characters" - which would be good news for Dora.

Being fair. The genre is full of stinkers which is the reason Smash has never gotten much competition. I still expect to see bad platform fighters but at least, this should increase the chances for good ones.

Apparently there was a legit roster leak for that Multiversus
If this is legit that roster is actually pretty great IMO.
y’all thought I was lying, huh?

The definition of "competition" would be vaguely definable in this case beyond "game play fast and good in big events", as each platform fighter IP's roster covers its own niche.
I mean, there's already some pro players out there that couldn't give a rat's arse about NASB's characters being from cartoons and are just interested in the gameplay mechanics.
Personally I don't think anything would quite perfectly eclipse Smash's quality and popularity, but it would be nice to have some alternatives that can cater to anyone trying to want Goku or Iron Man in there. That much I could reasonably expect.
The last time I saw a company say "hypothetically" in regards to at least one character, it didn't amount to much for the near future, so, probably not.
So, do you think these social media posts from Nick mean anything? I think that at most they mean "Nick corporate wouldn't veto these characters" - which would be good news for Dora.
Although they might be teasing whoever it is they already picked from the start, in regards to DLC (although Doug might be a far shot).
That said, anyone expecting something that's not boring in the State of Play today?

Steven looks terrifying. Reminds me of this
The 1 symbols pretty much confirm this is gacha. Yikes.

Honestly, I won't mind it being the lottery as long as the gameplay isn't, well, unplayable. Also, can't say I'm surprised that they went with modern!Harley. I prefer the classic one, but I'll take what I can get.
If nothing else, the art style and direction looks perfect for the type of game that it is, nobody really sticks out that much.

Yes, its a nice look. I still would rather stay away. Easy addiction runs in the family and I would rather avoid it. Its also the reason I dont drink or smoke.

At any rate, we'll have to wait and see if the gameplay lets you have the option to get in-game currency without necessarily needing to go through any paycheque burning just to throw a punch at someone. There are some games out there that are beatable without ever needing to pay for bitcoins (therefore letting you cheese the system if one is good enough of a player).
There's still paid DLC characters, but that's a standard for the genre at this point.

Given that the Nick YouTube community channel posts have also been flooding my YouTube homepage with questions about what Jade and Beck (from Victorious) getting married would be like? I don't think this mean much at all.

Kind of surprised they bothered to put Doug on the survey though, given Disney owning him...
That roster looks... fine. I don't think the numbers have to mean it is a gacha game, as it could just be a levelling system a la PSASBR, but F2P means there will be some sort of monetization that will likely suck. I'm just hoping it is more Smite-style and less Pokemon-Unite-style!

I know he's from a mature bloody horror movie but I really hope they add Freddy Krueger in Warner Bros. Multiversus
Hey if rated M characters like Snake, Joker and Bayonetta can be in Smash with Mii costumes based on Doom and DMC then I see no reason why he couldn't be in this game
But I also hope the add Classic Ben 10, Raven from Teen Titans and Scorpion from Mortal Kombat
My biggest fear if the F2P thing comes true is that the game will only let you do online match making and nothing else. I wouldn't mind a F2P Platform Fighter or a rotation system as long as I can still unlock all the characters in my own time and if I can still do more than just online exclusive stuff. I want to be able to fight CPUs or friends locally, play through an arcade, training mode, event match, ect. Plus my Wi-fi is not that great without an ethernet cable so if that turns out to be the case I'm basically screwed. Plus it's one of the reasons why I stopped playing League and didn't put that much time in Brawlhalla. Let me do some stuff offline and only bring in the online for matchmaking or to sign into my account (assuming F2P would require a sign in like League)

Welp, this roster does basically nothing for me. Call me narrow-minded, but the only characters on there that catch my eye are Tom & Jerry, who we already knew were in from the text leak anyway. I sure hope this doesn't end up being the full roster, because it honestly seems kinda lame if you're not into 2010's CN, DC, or LOTR.
Either way, I'm totally expecting to see this game at the State of Play presentation later today, for it to confirm everything I've been thinking about it, and to never look at it again.

The only thing I'm really concerned about is the dev company being fairly new for Multiversus, as we don't know if they're skilled or hopelessly incompetent. Lord help them if their budget is even lower than NASB's.

I forgot to reply to this: Yeah, I 100% agree. Multiversus isn't super hype for me right now, but the idea of more platform fighters is fantastic in general. I'm curious what other companies are up to and what kind of things we will see in the coming years...
I think it is reasonable-ish to assume this is the launch roster, with them doing the increasingly-common F2P game strategy of releasing a character every week or so for the first month and a bit of the game's life as a way of getting consistent engagement, ensure content continues to be made about the game, etc. Definitely could use some more diverse pulls at the moment, as DC is almost a third of the roster right now.

Ok, so since the Warner Bros. platform fighter has been leaked to death I decided to put together a list of fighters I'd like to see in the game.

I generally don't like shill picks for recent releases, but I'm all for Parker the Cloud in Nick Brawl. Given how Nick corporate can act their new shows need all the help they can get; and Parker could be really fun as a small shapeshifter with weather powers and mail delivery-themed moves - also I really like the design of Angus.

Regardless what happens, I can see some fans get desperate enough and beg for this to become real.
I'm partial to Russell myself.

Sup?
I mean, if they're bad, then no, all that does is re-affirm that Nintendo wears the crown of platform fighters.
There's hundreds of bad shooters out there, yet Call of Duty wears the crown for FPS games(Last I checked), same with Battle Royales and Fortnite iirc.
Having a bunch of bad games doesn't loosen a monopoly, all it does is strengthen the public's opinion that one series is better than the rest.

True, but at least there are good ones now on top of the shlock. That alone makes the current state of platform fighters LEAGUES better than it was ten years ago.

I mean, there have been good ones for awhile now.
But they haven't even begun to touch Smash's monopoly on the genre.
I like NASB a lot, but I hold no illusion that it's done anything to Smash in terms of shaking it from its pedestal, and this new Warner game won't either.

I have been looking at the leaked roster image and I keep looking at those blue pants above Harley? Does anyone have any theories, my guess is that those pants belong to Johnny Bravo. Finn appears to not be selected and the pants seem to be too big & long.
No matter what platform fighting game there is, there will always be sone type of leg girl and foot guy somewhere.

Regarding the Multiversus thing
I think now it's gonna be a race between Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl and WB Multiversus for whtwill get the rights to use Goku first,
Considering that both Viacom and WB have a history with the dragon ball franchise (Nickelodeon airings and Toonami airings)
And Nickelodeon all-star Brawl devs have already teased about the possibility of Goku in that one interview (though might just be a joke, but who knows), which might encourage WB to try and get the rights faster

And as expected...
Yeah, a rather dinky State of Play isn't enough for a WB game like this. If it's not announced by itself, we could hear something at the Game Awards.Also, posting this clip felt especially appropriate this time.

Welp. State of Play came and went with no Warner Bros fighter... It's leaking so much that it feels like it must be revealed soon though - maybe there's a closed beta going on with some less-then-NDA-following beta testers, then it'll be revealed and shadowdropped soon? Idk...
Anyway, I generally feel more platform fighters are neat, even if some fail to meet the bar. While bad platform fighters won't challenge the monopoly Nintendo effectively has on the genre, more platform fighters in general will result in the idea of the genre existing outside of Smash more understandable and eventually people will start calling them platform fighters instead of just "Smash knock-offs"... hopefully.

Now That Sounds Rather Sad to Hear, I thought it got a recent update just about last weekend(or this weekend? i can't remember)
Apparently, i found a full version of this image that covers most of a background with some characters in it such as Batman, There was a glimpse of Johnny Bravo for the background i can only remember seeing his hair and pants not sure if his shirt was shown too, Scooby-Doo! was on the menu to so this might mean he's playable in the game.

Is this the image?
It’s a thumbnail used by a YouTuber called Kiji, it’s fake. Tom’s fur is a different color, Tom’s arm position is a little off, and Batman’s eyes seem weird. The biggest problem with the image is that it uses Super Smash Bros Ultimate’s Battlefield as a background. It tricked me too for a second at first.

Fake leak for a game that's not even announced yet, piggybacking off of an actual leak.
