Warner Bros Multiversus - Another Fucking Smash Clone

[Gondola Enjoyer]

Side note: I hope they put out a decent handful of stages sometime soon.

Hoping so too, getting Batcave or the map that's two small platforms with the hole inbetween when playing Tom & Jerry makes me feel like

Because unless I'm shooting Jerry at the floor, he's going off that edge, guaranteed.

I can definitely relate to that second map, I've lost count of the amount of times I wound up without a ball because it went in the pit. Its extremely satisfying spiking someone into that pit though. I imagine a good duo Steven team can make that stage an absolute living hell though, super edge guarding capability + one of the best spikes in the game.

Move spam is easy to deal with once you learn which moves have armor or take priority. I’ve fought a few people who only spam one move, but once you either attack them from a different angle or use a move that armors through theirs, you can easily break through and kick their asses.

In 1v1 only 5% of characters are actually any good.

The entire roster is viable if you're not running headfirst into the backpack. Spacing your shit out and playing with your hitboxes goes a long way.

At least now I know why people complained about Taz. Most people spam just one move (Shaggy's side-dash, Superman's flight, etc) without any thought or reason. Manageable in 1v1, but not so much in 2v2 where they knock your teammate out 4 times in a row.

Superman's flight is a lot easier to counter than the up+B that throws you into the blast zone for almost free. Shaggy has a lot of armor on his attacks for no good reason.

Absolutely agree... picking up T&J recentley there are several stages where I just end up being solo Tom 90% of the match due to excessive Jerry mishandling, Bat Cave and Haunted Mansion being the worst. I want stages more than characters with some more big options. Cromulons was literally just another half-sized Final Destination since the side platforms will just get destroyed quickly. Destructible stage elements should really regenerate after some time like Smash Bros. or every stage is going to end up the same tiny flat platform 70% already are.

Bat Cave is definitely the stage I have it the hardest on, no matter what character I’m playing as.

It's not fun though.

The game needs better mechanics to deal with projectile assault, dodge spam or move spam.

Double dodge mid-air is a pain to deal with and super reliable.

Projectile spam is annoying cause not all characters have a shield or a safe way to deal with harassment from distance.

And I think move spam is so annoying cause there is no real hitbox colliding/reacting.

This game is mechanically simple and it feels bad at higher level of play.

I once again disagree, but I’m not gonna get into an argument over it since that would be silly.

I’m looking forward to seeing what’s on the next battle pass, boy free and paid. Hopefully they keep a good balance.

Hitboxes are definitely not as simple as they look since there is no priority system like i already said. I feel like a well timed Shaggy's side kick can beat any move in the game while Arya's blade feels more like pocket knife (i regret unlocking her).

Also, there are definitely some kind of issue with hitboxes, wether it's lag or not. The devs already admitted and mentioned they're overhauling and making them visible for training mode, but not on this next patch.

That's helpful. Even in old 90's fighters, some characters had weird-ass hitboxes, so it would be interesting to see how they positioned the hurt/hit boxes on each character.

I'm guessing they probably won't be as tight and logical as something like Super Turbo, but more like "eh, we tried, even though half of this shit doesn't make any sense" ala the Alpha and Vampire/Darkstalker series. Worst case would be a "lol didn't care, fuck you!" placement like in Karnov's Revenge.

I hope they put out a decent handful of stages sometime soon. Most of the ones we have are ok, if bland, with the exception of Mansion. That stage can go die of a malignant tumor.

I hate the Batcave more than the Mansion. I swear, any time I try to kill someone the stupid Batmobile is right in the way and keeps everyone alive a lot longer.

So far the thread has been almost all mechanical gameplay talk, so here's a bit of Smash-esque cosmetic feature wishing. When I first picked up the game I wanted to play Tom & Jerry simply because I am a big fan of the cartoons although it took awhile getting used to the game's mechanics with simpler characters before I felt comfortable with their relative complexity. I am quite happy they used all of Tom's iconic screams ripped straight from the shorts, but I would love to see some more series deep cuts. I would really like to see a Butch & Nibbles/Quacker skin as that seems like a straightforward and easy thing to do. Probably more farfetched, but I think it'd be hilarious to have this sound clip used in a few episodes as an alternate death cry.

It will be interesting to see how they do the cosmetic stuff going forwards, but as they have embraced memes enough to make it Shaggy's entire kit I hope we get some one off stuff not related to playable characters, but in the WB umbrella such as The Dover Boys.

The game already has skins that are completely different characters whochange voicelines and interactions and i belive they confirmed there aremore coming. Shagsworth skin for example, not only has a different voice pack but it gives new lines to other characters. The funny thing is that shaggy doesnt talk about other shaggy mirrors but he DOES comment on shagsworths and vice versa, wether it's his ally or enemy.

tl;dr: They're clearly investing HARD on skins and voice acting so a T&J skin with butch+nibbles and different screams is very likely to happen eventually.

Googling Butch+Nibbles and I came up across this.

(The models here actually look better than Multiversus' though)

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

You could make a pretty good Meatwad skin for Jake. Just change his Down Special to a hot dog and igloo instead of car and house.

 

[Sundae]

I hope some of the supposed leaks are true and Beetlejuice and Godzilla get added in.

I remember that game, Tom and Jerry in War of the Whiskers. Decent little Power Stone clone.

Hinting at the next announced character.

I dunno if there is some hidden MMR system or the game has just been out long enough where the tryhards are outpacing the casuals, but every match I fight now is a complete sweat-fest against a Bugs or Finn at level 30+ (my highest level is 18.) and a 800+ win badge who all play the exact same frustrating and boring safe attack only approach. It's god damn exhausting... It's such a break when I see a rare other character who plays differently. I haven't played Smash in a long time, but I don't remeber getting so mentally fatigued after only a handful of matches.

Buffs and nerfs are coming Monday, so I’m betting you’ll be seeing less Finns and Bugs after that.

Finn will also be taken off the “free character” rotation too.

The problem is not with Finn and Buggs, but with the kits of most characters.

They seem to lack many punishing and opener moves, and can't be used effectively against some safe attacks. There's also very few variety in openers and many are predictable.
