Excuse me?

I'm still shocked that MV is actually good. It had all the hallmarks of being a cash grab.

How so?

Um no, multiVersus is lame.

I agree, Multiverse Of Madness sucked.

I think people are passing judgement a little to harshly on a game not even a month old and in beta still.

Nor does it make any sense to compare it to the SSB fanchise with over 20+ years of refinement. Even then, and from just a gameplay perspective multiverse is easily on par with everyone of them.

Even melee on a base lv, whose potential was really only dumb luck for the most part. Especially for a series not meant to be competitive until SSBU and almost begrudgingly it seems.

Multiversus is fine, but it is a F2P game thats widely accessible. Also youre saying it has overtaken Smash when Smash Ultimate has sold almost 30 million copies on a console it has exclusivity on

Not really sure what people get out of stoking shit like this. Both games can coexist without it being a dick measuring contest.

The devs give a shit. Tony is super active and responsive to fan input on Twitter. Honestly thats what made me try the game in the first place.

"Why would anyone compare this platform fighter to this other platform fighter???"

Hmm...

I will say this, in terms of gameplay I still prefer Smash Ultimate because it just feels better to play. The attacks have a better "crunch" to them and it just feels more satisfying to play. Plus Smash felt like an organic idea, a video game company has a bunch of video game IP's and then makes a game where all these IP's duke it out on a stage feels more genuine than a movie company just throwing in live actions with cartoon characters in a game. One feels more corporate cash grab while the other feels like something that makes sense.

With that said, while Multiversus feels like a corporate cash grab, I'm actually glad that it still plays great. One of the things I noticed about the devs from Multiversus vs. something like Smash is that Multiversus is finally giving something to the FGC that almost no other fighters have done yet, full crossplay that will allow for easier match making, rollback (still needs work though), and an easier entry (F2P) into the game that you don't have to throw in $60's to play (also including DLC's that just means more money). I mean not to mention that already Multiversus is throwing in $100k into an official tournament when official Smash tournaments grand prize is a controller with the smash logo on it. For some reason, Nintendo really hates the competitive side to their games. Which is playing a big role why so many in the FGC community is support the crap out of Multiversus, even ones that don't really play non-platform fighters.

I disliked MultiVersus from the get go because I don't like how it looks. Nor am I really drawn towards playing as any of the characters I've seen in the roster.

It runs almost entirely on meme energy, and had a big fat non-gameplay trailer dropped before anyone knew much about it. It screams corporate, but the devs actually care.

True.

Brawlhalla had over 80 million players. Was Smash Bros already dead?

Didn't people say the same shit about that Nick fighting game? Lol

I like that freemiun games in general are getting more work put into them with stuff like this and Genshin Impact: they don't need to compete with Smash and BotW to succeed, just candy crush and farmville kind of stuff. They're a big upgrade to the quality floor for free games.
