That's All Folks! General Looney Tunes Thread

[Veca Gorebyss]

I hope we get some DC skins for the Looney Tunes characters

My most wanted skin would have to be the Braniac Marvin costume from the Super Rabbit episode from the Looney Tunes Show. Zod Duck would also be cool if Daffy ever came.

I grew up preferring animation over live-action, which I still do. As such, I have a sizable list of Looney Tunes newcomers for after MultiVersus relaunches.

1. Wile E. Coyote
2. Daffy Duck
3. Tweety
4. Elmer Fudd
5. Yosemite Sam
6. Porky Pig
7. Sylvester
8. Foghorn Leghorn
9. Speedy Gonzales
10. Penelope Pussycat
11. Michigan J. Frog
12. Yoyo Dodo
13. Cool Cat
14. Bosko

I'd imagine some of these would need explanations. I'm happy to oblige.

• Wile E. Coyote, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, and Sylvester are must-haves for a game like this. You can easily see them fight in MultiVersus by just watching a few of their cartoons.
• Tweety, on the other hand, is harder to consider. Either we go for his featherless look for a playstyle, but with his iconic plumage added, or we have Granny and Hector protect him throughout the match. One of those two could be fun.
• Porky Pig does have some good points if he were invited. He's the first Looney Tune who tried to shoot Daffy, so we know Porky's good with handling rifles. On the other hand, there are cartoons like The Blow Out that show him being destructive without meaning to. Heck, we can even have Porky represent Daffy's greedy side by pulling from Duck Dodgers, Drip Along Daffy, and Deduce, You Say. There's our loophole for getting Screwball Daffy in the game as the only Daffy in the game.
• Foghorn Leghorn could be characterized as "that guy you wish would shut up for good", so to make his moveset unique, let's have Henery Hawk, Barnyard Dawg, and Miss Prissy all do that, albeit with three different reasons why. While Foghorn is yapping all the while.
• Speedy Gonzales, despite the fears of being seen as problematic, which is a can of worms the size of an Andy Warhol painting, would absolutely be our Sonic equivalent if The Flash is unavailable. Maybe Slowpoke Rodriguez could come in with his gun and hypnosis, too.
• Penelope Pussycat. The unwitting "dame" of Pepe Le Pew's desires, and arguably the real reason the skunk is banned from the WB lot. I'd imagine there are some things we can do that don't involve that particular skunk. She's not afraid to scratch out of self-defense, you know. She can also evade with ease, as her skunk disguise has occasionally been to get stuff cats don't get to have.
• I just thought that Michigan J. Frog would be cool. Maybe do stuff to represent The WB to fill in his moveset blanks.
• Yoyo Dodo is a "me" pick that actually has a LOT more potential. He hails from Wackyland, the kind of place those who allowed the Animation Age Ghetto to prosper thought all animation was like. Do I need to say more?
• If we have to pick something from the 1960s, Cool Cat might be the only good option. I don't know what he could do, because I've never seen any of his shorts.
• On the reverse side of the spectrum, Bosko is the best black-and-white Looney Tune to pull from, which does not say much for that era. Sadly, he might be more controversial than Speedy is, for reasons I would rather not disclose on the forum that assumes Robin's first secret identity and Muttley's racing partner automatically translates to male genitalia.

Honestly, I just wish Loons: The Fight For Fame wasn't as limiting as it is, because we could have had an honest-to-ACME Looney Tunes platform fighter by now.

I honestly think Granny and Gossamer would be some unexpected but fun choices too,

Out of curiosity, what playstyle types do you picture some of the ones you listed having? Like I can see Yosemite being an assassin, Gossamer being a tank and Foghorn possibly being a bruiser

While having Wile E. play like a trapper leads to some fun combinations, I think he could have elements of rushdown fighting in him where he catches the opponent while hunting down the Road Runner. If the latter archetype is used, I can see the Road Runner just being a dash on the screen with a cloud covering him, only occasionally being seen to stick his tongue out.

Both Daffy and Porky can be jacks of all trades, no matter where you take inspiration from. Especially Porky, given his original star status.

Cool Cat might be a support fighter. He may not be useful on the battlefield, but his calm demeanor and nice musical skills may somehow heal his teammate. Dumber things have happened in Looney Tunes history for just a simple laugh in the theaters. Double that for Michigan with his own genre of showtunes and TV announcements.

Just five examples, and three styles of play, from those others haven't been brought up. Granted, the bruiser playstyle works with the way I saw Foghorn fight, particularly in how Barnyard Dawg and Henery Hawk are incorporated.
