It’s April Fools so everyone’s avatar has changed to match the site theme.
oh no that's fine I meant how did you literally do it?
No, not at all. Reggieboards wasn't done to pick on Reggie, and Crashboards wasn't about picking on Crash Bandicoot. (it did however pick on SmashBoards itself for crashing)
It's only been 5 months (much less if you start off of when Shredder came out), if anything given how rushed the base game was it's probably a good thing DLC's taking long - it'll be more polished, the devs aren't in crunch, and the DLC cycle will artificially feel longer.
Lel, I guess I should use the NASB abbreviation more often.
Nah, it's a little shorter. It was dieting lately.
And unfortunately I don't think that we're getting any characters this month. Just crossplay, items, and the official announcement of voice acting.
April mains shaking rn
Yeah. We already know it was delayed to avoid interfering with GENESIS, so who knows at this point. We know that it's very likely that this patch will add crossplay and possibly items.
Hopefully one of those nerfs is that blocking actually works properly on her Down Special.
Ironic, given the month.
MVS won't do **** when they forgot to market the damn thing. Just because the game's initial cost is 0 and you have iconic characters in your game doesn't mean your marketing budget can be 0.
At this point Multiversus is banking on people being upset with NASB enough to jump ship and switch over. This is shown by the initial reveal trailer prominently highlighting the implementation of alts, crossplay, and voice acting, all of which NASB lacked at the time.
The game way leaked earlier than they intended it to. When the open beta comes out I'm willing to bet theyre gonna go in harder.
But even then, Fortnite still spends plenty on marketing. All their crossover skins and crossover events get trailers much more elaborate than
Jinkies, a clue - Velma is officially part of the #MultiVersus roster! 🔍 There are more mysteries to uncover about who’s joining the multiverse, and not all of the leads out there are true! pic.twitter.com/bq8UZlQjA4

I'm talking about before it came out.
Yeah. We didn't get to see Velma's moveset, or even her render for that matter.
That was pretty stupid. Not gonna excuse that.
It does have items tbf. But I aggre
The leaks are out in the open. We talked about them pretty heavily on the general thread.
I think Multiversus' roster vs. NASB's is definitive proof that less is more. The leaks include a Netflix character, a real life NBA player, and more OCs, but no one from pre-2010s CN/AS (there is zero overlap between the rosters of MVS and PTE and I hate that) and no one from Midway. If anything there's too many characters on the table.
I think it depends. I know a lot of people who are more interested because of the legacy movie characters. You've gotta balance it. But the complete lack of older CN characters is kinda weird and something I hope they fix.
In general, pandering to nostalgia is required by Nick to stay relevant, when Kids These Days™ would rather watch YouTube/TikTok, nothing it's currently airing has a notable adult fanbase, and show after show gets killed for not being an instant SpongeBob-tier hit.
I figured the choices were mostly going to be safe and corporate just from the initial reveal alone. And if they found a way to make Gizmo a corporate pick...I guess I'm right!
This is my biggest hang up so far.
Keep in mind that I am not referring to "nostalgia pandering" as a bad thing - to the contrary, I think it's a good thing to reintroduce earlier works to younger generations, especially by showing them in an equal (not higher OR lesser) light/context to their recent favourites, but it undeniably only has finanical value when your modern content isn't cutting it - that's why you didn't really see much Nick-stalgia until Stimpy and Rocko's cameos in Attack of the Toybots when the Schnieder sitcom factory was just starting up and making Nicktoons obsolete, and why CN just stopped seeking out nostalgia content for the most part when Adventure Time; Gumball; and Regular Show made it big, with their only reboots lately being either adult-centered or of IPs that are really easy to merchandise. (Scooby X Courage is a really odd outlier, and if that's a sign of things to come I don't know if that's a good or bad sign. Also not counting Johnny Bravo Bollywood or Fog of Courage because of their odd releases)
