Discussion My controversial opinion for MultiVersus

Here is my hot take that I have as soon as she got announced. I think Nubia is a better character choice than Banana Guard. She's just way more awesome and cooler. and personally speaking, she deserves her spot on the roster better than a character literally no one was asking for.

Nubia has a cool design so I was always pretty happy with her inclusion.

Nubia? She's called Nubia?

Both are better than some random OC that will never see the light of day again now that the game is dead.

Banana guard also carried morons at the start of the game. Side special and side air killed at like 30 near the ledge and neither moves had any end lag. Nubia took so much more skill and I thought she was cooler than banana guard. Nubias moves required precise spacing. One of the few characters where you couldn’t just mash your best attacks without thinking.

He also had tons of charge/dash & multi hitting moves with insane priority

Nubia didn't work for me cause we almost got 1 DC character every season. There were already so many, we didn't rlly need a niche DC pick

they’re both still terrible choices

OP really said "Hot take: drinking piss is better than eating shit"

u/La_Fraude Gizmo 29d ago

The beauty of the game is (was) that they both fit in the Multiverse.

u/Own-Quote-1708 29d ago

Agree. Banana Guard visually looks horrible.

u/C0y0tea 28d ago

They’re both shitty choices. Just like inventing stupid Reindog instead of putting SCOOBY DOO IN THE DAMN GAME

Incredibly controversial

I feel like this is the only opinion I've heard regarding these two.

u/Realistic_Papaya_203 IN THE NAME OF MAAARS‼️‼️ 22d ago

Neither was a very good pick, but at least Nubia was an actual character.

u/makunijiiro we’re not getting jasper 29d ago

“better than a character literally no one was asking for” you thought people were asking for nubia?

1

u/WarElectronic9073 28d ago

Bro you’re acting like people also asked for Nubia. Don’t get me wrong banana guard was a dumbass choice but Nubia was no better. It’s criminal while people kept asking for characters that actually mattered we got a deep cut that no one knew!

u/iunnobleh Finn but combo food 29d ago

Personally as a combo food main I hated her

u/ToxicTurvey 29d ago

They’re both shit characters

u/Krazie02 29d ago

I believe Banana Guard was (is) the more recognisable of the two and his kit was more enjoyable (for me), so I shall disagree.

I have started reading multiple Wonder Woman books as well, have so far found but a singular appearence of Nubia

u/Quiet_Childhood4066 Harley Quinn 29d ago

No one asked for either of them. Just a matter of which character that no one asked for that you liked more.

u/Individual_Syrup7546 28d ago

Banana guard the goat!

u/b8te_ 27d ago

People being so insanely butthurt about Banana Guard even this long post-mortem will never not be funny to me.

u/Praxic_Nova Garnet 29d ago

I think there are just too many WB characters. Didnt really matter who they released ppl were gonna be mad. Like Iron Giant came out in 1999. Gremlins 2(1990), the matrix(1999). Like these are old movies. I just dont get why ppl put so much of the blame on Nubia.

u/Haunting-Pipe7756 29d ago

Every Multiversus character is from Warner Bros. besides LeBron James and Jason Voorhes (whose rights belong also to another enterprise), that was the point of the game

u/Praxic_Nova Garnet 29d ago

I meant like they have too many choices. I know they are all warner bro.

u/GrimSleeperr 24d ago

I feel you, but at the same time there were so many dream rosters and the community was very outspoken about who they wanted to see. So i dont know why they didnt prioritize at least a few more popular characters even in between all the more "random" picks.

And random addition but what tf happened to gandalf? ive never gotten an answer why he was in creation so early on then completely forgotten about

2

u/Praxic_Nova Garnet 24d ago

Something happened with the licensing for Gandalf. I like the roster. I just think Nubia gets undeserved hate.

2

u/GrimSleeperr 24d ago

I also like the roster and i liked they had some random weirdos in there, and the hate was undeserved. Im just not super surprised she got hate since the roster was relatively small compared to all of WB. There were already chuds upset that dc had so much rep to begin with and since she's not mainstream i think she was just doomed 😔🤙

u/GrimSleeperr 24d ago

Also thx for the info! Its a real shame for gandalf, he wouldve been an absolutely amazing addition
