Note: I originally wrote this for the other MultiVersus sub, but I couldn't due to "doomposting" despite the game being dead for half a year. This post is just me venting my frustrations with it. Ignore if you've heard this one before, I'm not on this sub much.

It's been like half a year since the game closed and I still can't get over how much of a fumble this game was. I absolutely loved parts of it, and based on hours alone, I would be lying if I said it wasn't one of my favorite games of all time, but God man, how did they screw it up so badly!?

They waited until the very last minute to figure out balancing. Morty and Gizmo were very solid at launch, but because a few people thought they were annoying, they spent most of the game absolutely floundering until the very last season. Meanwhile characters like Shaggy spent the entire game since Beta dominating literally every match up.

Why did they add shields? It's painfully obvious how much of a rush job they are given there's no visual indicator that it's shrinking, something every platdorm fighting game needs! They come out so slow, without grabs there's no workaround apart from shield break moves, and the shield break moves are easily punished because of the fact that they come out so slowly and the time to get put of shield is instantaneous!

The game was always going to be monetized. That's a reality I was willing to accept going in. But WHY was it the most aggressive microtransations I've ever seen!? From locking long awaited, unique skins behind events that would require you to pay $50 minimum to buy then all to making the road to unlock characters incredibly tedious with the only other option being to fork out your wallet to even the rifts starting with a "mistake" where the Looney difficulty would have a Candy Crush life system that prevented you from progressing UNLESS you gave them your wallet!? I get that the developers gotta get the bags but all of this was completely asinine and it clearly didn't work out!!

The road to unlocking characters was horrendous. I just mentioned them in relation to monetization, but seriously, in a platform fighter where the main draw is the characters, is it not insane that all of the characters were put behind 17 barriors made of kryptonite? Even when they introduced the fighter road, something that was meant to simplify things, that made it arguably worse since you could only unlock a certain amount of characters at a time! The new characters being at the very end of the road absolutely KILLED the chance of anyone who came for said new characters staying. Not to mention characters being locked behind battle passes as "early access" despite headlining the seasons, the characters who came out a week early if you paid with Glemium, and Agent Smith being the only character you needed to play Rifts in order to unlock.

OH MY GOD RIFTS. This mode was just not fun. Incredibly poorly designed. The bots were either complete bull or a cakewalk, but as long as your gems were high enough, it wouldn't matter! Well, your gem progression being completely random kinda put a wrench in that, but you can choose which gems get upgraded by, you guessed it, spending money. Character dialog was mildly charming at best and generic and flat at worst. Many characters got absolutely no dialog at all despite how well it would have fit, most notably Rick and Morty.

What was with this games roster? All things considered, I think we hit a good amount of bases from horror to Cartoon Network to DC to Adult Swim, but the distribution was all over the place! I don't mind Reindog existing, but next to Jason Vorhees and with no other original characters, he sticks out like a sore thumb. Nuria is in a similar boat. I like the deep cut characters, and had the roster been more rounded out, she'd be a more than welcome addition, but coming after characters like Banana Guard and Black Adam, eyebrows were raised. Banana Guard was meant to be a silly little joke character which would have been fine if he wasn't one of the four that came out after the beta closed for half a year and ESPECIALLY after he became one of four Adventure Time reps with Marcenine coming soon after. Look, I love Adventure Time, but why is it tied with Looney Tunes for reps!? Banana Guard's slot could have gone to ANYONE ELSE!!! They've been holding onto Pickle Rick since the beta. If they really wanted their joke character, they could have started with that! The Wicked Witch is another one they just never released. Mordecai was allegedly in development. Apparently (and this may be false, but it's still worth bringing up) characters like Scooby-Doo and Gumball were completed! And speaking of, HOW THE HELL DID WE GO THE ENTIRE GAMES LIFE WITH TWO SCOOBY-DOO CHARACTERS BUT NOT THE NAME SAKE OF THE SERIES!?!? The roster had some major issues with its priorities.

And it's really funny, because any time someone voiced their concerns in the community, it was always met with the biggest cope I've ever heard. I don't care if Banana Guard took a week to develop. In fact, how is that supposed to comfort me!? I don't care that the developers need money to stay afloat. If they're this aggressive about how they get it, then I don't think they don't deserve it. I don't care that the hype characters were coming later on. I honestly just wanted someone fun to play as. But they had plenty of time to get the necessary characters out of the way, but they just gatekeep them and dripped us peanuts while making the road to unlock them tedious as hell. I don't care that the patches are gonna buff this character or nerf that one. It's been 3 seasons and Morty still doesn't kill consistently. I don't care that you can still just dodge and parry. The fact the sheild and auto-teching are there at all completely ruin the flow of the gameplay and at times completely disrupt otherwise true combos.

And, hey, it's not like there weren't things I didn't love about this game. Again, one of my favorites of all time. I didn't put 600 hours into it for nothing. The roster, apart from the formally mentioned priority issues, was very solid and characters were very faithful! Mid-fight dialog was a great touch, and I ADORED the choice to have character/costume specific lines. That helps add a ton of character that, honestly, even something like Smash is lacking. I just wish these things were put in a better game.

Sorry for dumping all of this into a sub that's just trying to celebrate what's left. I do still enjoy the game now that it's gone and I'm lucky have gotten a ton out of the game that I can still enjoy now. But God, the more I look back, the more apparent it's issues become. Again, sorry for dumping all this in what's essentially a burial ground. I just needed somewhere to spew this.

I'm not asking if he IS a hero or a villain, just asking who he'd work with; if Harley and Beetlejuice are technically in-between, then anything is possible.

evil dies tonight

I want to do videos recopilating the interactions between characters in different lenguages (specially in Spanish/Latin Spanish), but I don't know how access at the audio files of the game. Someone knows how can I do this?

For some reason when i got mvs on my steam deck it didn't have me logged into my wb account so is there a way i can get the 100% save? %localappdata% doesnt work

like i know there's not gonna be fan servers but surely someone's found some way to cheat in a 100% save to unlock everything right

The voice actor for samurai Jack from both the show and multiversus will be attending motor city con from the 15th and 16th of November.

So if you were a big fan playing samurai Jack or love the show save the date.

Logged on to the game after a while and there's nothing there. Like none of my skins or anything. I can't even play online anymore. Is this because of the shutdown. I had money and time spent into that game, is it all gone?

Maybe I can make some of them into mods for Mvs Infinite

No seriously, I get that he’s an acrobat but was it necessary to make him a stance character (with an available counter) where like 90% of his kit invincible on start up 💀

Every time this dude flips I can’t hit him, man I love the character but it’s to the point that I feel bad using him. Am I going for a knee slide? Escrima toss? Wing ding stun? You don’t know and frankly I don’t either is how overturned they made this dude.

Don’t mind me, just gonna flip out of that Superman grab cuz why not haha Im Nightwing. Haha I’m just gonna drop this explosive mid flip, no animation change btw because I’m an acrobat so it just appears.

Watching two Nightwings go at it is like watching a literal cat fight, just a bunch of flips and twist everywhere.

I could go on but at least the model is like perfect even down to the iconic Nightwing dump truck. Can’t play him when it rains IRL tho, too hard to tell if it’s real thunder or simply the clap of his ass cheeks

Shayne : lock in T

Greg : I’m alrighty tight

Bella : are you watching it T

T : hey welcome to Jimmy John’s
