Always fun to try new games! It being F2P is an added bonus as I won't feel like I wasted money on this if it's terrible.

Dear Lord, this game looks horrible.
Both this and Nick All-Stars Brawl look the same, so it doesn't come as a shock.

Nick all-stars brawl has the excuse of the devs working with a small budget.
What's this game's excuse?

To be fair, Smash Bros has archetypes for it's fighters as well, like the heavy weighted characters for an example.

Thought I would bring attention back to this title as new gameplay dropped.
Marketing for the game has been terrible. Sadly, it seems Warner is forcing the devs to do everything, from building the game to producing trailers while on a deadline, so they are unable to advertise all the content in it as they are focused on building the actual game. I really hope WB doesn’t fuck this project with their attitude towards it.
Some other things to note for those out of the loop:
Tom & Jerry got their victory theme leaked and it is a banger.
Velma is now part of the cast. Here is leaked gameplay.
Tons of leaked characters based on various developments, I will save time and just post the Reddit list.

Damn, the game is starting to look fun. Shame it seems to be suffering issues similar to NASB with it's respective company not giving the devs enough time to really make this game come out great.

More stuff to add:
Ben 10 has seemingly been considered for a roster slot, but the amount of work it would take to "Do him justice" seems to be a factor against him. Still, he may actualy be the most popular character request for Multiversus, and given that CN Punch Time Explosion already made the character a decade ago, I really hope they will take the time to pull it off.
There have also been rumors for Mortal Kombat characters, particularly Scorpion, circulating.
Personally, I am on the side of the fanbase that desires more Cartoon Network reps. I am genuinely surprised by the omission of The PowerPuff Girls so far given that they have to be in the top 3 of CN's biggest IPs with Ben 10 and Adventure Time. Samurai Jack has been another heavy request given the Adult Swim revival. It helps that the missing big CN IP not including Gumball and Regular Show were all part of Punch Time.

It sounds like they have been given a decent amount of time. The issue is that Warner is leaving them to function on their own. They seem to want nothing to do with the game, which hurts marketing as the small team cannot devote enough resources towards creating trailers while building the title. The lead, Tony, seems extremely passionate about the project and interacts with fans on the regular, but he wants all hands in on developing the title, so marketing for the game has suffered drastically. Tony is making the right call, but WB's lack of care makes the game feel like a nonentity.

To be fair, a good Ben 10 would be pretty hard to pull off without making him utterly game braking or severely underwhelming. While I don't remember how CNPTE does it, you can do it a few ways.
The lazy way: Each move is a separate alien transformation for the duration of the move.
The hard way: Make him like Pokemon Trainer where you can swap out between 3-4 aliens. Obviously you can't let him have 10 forms as from a balance perspective it can be overkill. You could also do it like Shang Tsung in MK, but I feel having a ton of button combination for a Smash clone is also overdoing it. Ideally for balance sake, just have 2 - 3 Ben's from different timelines/shows with 3-4 alien forms till you can say he has 10.

May as well add some more information.
Recently, I have been noticing in gameplay trailers that there are unique blast animations you can apply for when your character gets knocked off screen. They do not seem tied to characters, so this is just a cool cosmetic. The ones I have seen include: The Bat Signal, “That’s all Folks”, the creation of the Lich, Shazam lightning, Spike, Lion, and Blue Diamond.
Mechanics of the game have also been shared and can be seen in this video here:
Should also post the updates between closed betas, which yes, people have played and enjoyed the game so far.
-side note: Slackerz is excellent at providing info for the game if you guys are interested.
CNPTE did do your idea of having multiple Ben 10s though, as XL added Young Ben and the aliens from the original series.

CNPTE went the lazy route with each alien being an attack. Humongasaur was side, Swamp Fire was neutral, etc.. Not a Ben 10 fan, so can’t name the rest.

Meh. They got the voice actors back, but I'm not feeling it.
I also hate Reindog with every fiber of my being. Not only is an original character in a crossover fighting game an awful idea, this one looks like an original character from a 15 year old's Deviantart page.

Darn, got beat to the news.
Honestly, I am still excited. It is cool to see that Taz and The Iron Giant are playable, which further adds legitimacy to the leaks.
Also, if you hate Reindog, be prepared as there is said to be two more OCs coming to the game if leaks are to be believed.

Definitely has more polish than NickAllStars.
But the F2P model worries me. What I suspect:
* Freemium Currency used to unlock fighters
* Newly released fighters powercreep everyone else
* Fighters are money-only for the first month
* The new fighters get nerfed pretty soon
* You can buy premium currency to unlock fighters and cosmetics.
Hopefully it's like Rocket League. It won't be like Rocket League.
The fire dude/arms dude/speedy dude could all be variations of the same moveset, heavy/ranged/speedy respectively.

They could be clone/echo characters with similar movements to eachother.

What's Rocket League's purchases like? I'm not too familiar with them.
If you ask me, if they want to be generous, they could just do what Pokemon Unite does and have the alternate costumes be locked behind a pay wall along with a "battle pass" thing full of extra goodies.
F2P friendly enough too keep poor players around while also having a some incentive to spend.

There's lootboxes you get every levelup (alla overwatch)
there's seasonal events where you can gain cosmetics by completing 'seasonal challanges'
And you can buy some cosmetics from the store.

I know not every game can be Smash Bros but the character models are painfully simple. Some of them barely register as the characters they're supposed to be. I know it's going for a different crowd than a "mature gamer" such as myself but it's still disappointing.
