Skateboard is great for pushing people to the bottom, spiking with his stretchy arm is also really good. Hitting someone with your buns toward the top will usually lead to a ringout as well. Jake has quite a few tools to send people flying.

They are supposedly going to convert excess bp into gold, according to the dev's twitter.
Is that not just for future BPs though? Or will they convert excess from this one too?
Yeah it wasn't a combo, he could've gotten out of it at pretty much any time, I was just slippery
Im really successful with the horse attack. Especially if you start it in the air
Not a combo, but you properly read your opponent movements and reacted accordingly. That's better than any schmancy combo, imo.
I need the Property Brothers ASAP, they can be Multiversus' Ice ClimbersWith the merger there is only one man that needs to be added
How can you tackle something that's not in the game?
They ain't adding priority.
Sorry, missed this message. I got a clean clip of it to illustrate it better to help.
Basically after hitting the down spike, you want to immediately buffer the input up+special for photograph and start holding down for fast fall. This makes you start traveling downward after the spike while photograph up+special is starting up letting you chase the spike recovery with your special move. If you're doing spike+photograph loops on stage you already basically are doing 3/4ths of this tech. Depending on the percentage you spiked them at originally and their height above kill floor, you might want to dodge cancel downwards to ensure faster startup/you get extra distance on the photograph to make it combo or catch recovery as I did in the original clip on Jake. If someone jumps upwards into your spike like batman does in this clip it helps it to combo clean and seems either untechable/dodgeable out of or at least EXTREMELY hard requiring a god tier dodge mash to escape on the first frames of recovery for them. This killed at 16% from 0 on batman for example.

lmao yep. finn does need some work though, he's a blast to play regardless but still
Just hit rank 3555 in 1v1s as harley
Side note: are we worried about this s1 delay at all?
Man the hitboxes are so infuriating.

In this clip, I see Superman going for his stupid punch spam, so I jump onto his head to spike him. The downspike is one of Wonder Woman's only combo starters so it's the only way I get anything significant off this in this situation, but given his damage (163) it would likely kill outright.
But instead, he hits me like 6 feet above him with his horizontal attack.
I can only imagine, this is because Wonder Woman must have her hurtbox extended downwards when attempting the down air, thus pushing me into his active hitbox, but it's still bullshit all the same.
Wonder Woman is such a cool character but she's really screwed over by the hitboxes and I think the clip above is a really strong example of that. Characters like Superman have attacks that are constantly active and almost surround their entire character, Wonder Woman's attacks are active for a split second, her hurtbox seems to extend ahead of them and the hitbox itself doesn't even extend as far as her animated model.
It's as though the game was balanced by different people with a different design ethos per character. Usually I find in fighting games when you have things like this, it's clear that they resulted from a design mindset that extends across the whole game. For instance early Street Fighter V saw all of the light jabs have a hitbox which extended too far verically, making them strong anti-air options. But in multiversus it feels like some characters have moves that are consistently extremely disjointed, while others have moves which are very conservative.
As Wonder Woman, my sword is passing through people for days. The only move I can rely on is side special but it has slow startup and doesn't lead to anything. Honestly I'm a bit baffled by her gameplan design at times. Her go to combo starter (which only leads to around 30 damage) is her forward grounded attack, cancelled into up special, but in order to land that you have to be stood literally inside of your opponent.
Generally speaking I think they need to make an effort to align the hitboxes with the character models and lower the hitboxes of horizontal attacks so that they can be interrupted above and below more easily.

I have Shaggy, Batman, and LeBron unlocked. Who should I go with next? Willing to listen to all arguments. :)
Harley Quinn or Bugs you unlocked all Bruiser's I would recommend unlocking a Mage, Assassin or Support next.
Could also wait until the next rotation to see who's free. But yeah, it's worth owning one of each class so you can always do the bp challenges.
I see a lot of folks on reddit and youtube asking for a 'priority system' similar to Smash.
I really wouldn't like that in this game, I think they just need to fix the hitboxes. A priority system would just make the 'heavier' moves, a lot stronger than they already are, and I think in most cases they're already the moves with the strongest hitboxes. Advocates for a priority system seem to argue that light attacks shouldn't beat heavy, but I don't agree with that, particularly in a game where it's very hard to punish most moves anyway. In Smash, using heavier moves like Smash attacks carries a lot more risk, so it perhaps makes sense that they are more likely to beat out other moves, but here I feel like it would just invalidate a lot of each characters kit, and players would avoid using low-priority moves as combo starters.

Are there any interesting items to begin with? That aren't just projectiles to pick up and throw.
I think it's cool that they made the game feel very intuitive and friendly to play without filling it with random chaos (item mode). I feel like the 2 vs 2 orientation helps make it feel more casual, even if it might be competitive among certain groups of players.
They haven't announced anything yet, but surely they're planning for season 1 to start as soon as this extended pre-season ends, right? Would be a huge miss from them if they just have no Battle Pass running for an extended period of time.
The game director has said it won't.
I'd imagine the gaming segment of WBD is it's own thing not affected by the streaming services.
Sure, there's a few items that can summon assist-trophy-like attackers. Like Mr. Meseeks or the Royal Banana guard. You just gotta make sure you hit the neutral pickup button, because I'm almost positive that hitting attack with a direction is like Z-throwing items in Smash. If you're like me, that might be why you think the only thing items do is to be a projectile you throw.
nice, VoiD was complaining about that TJ bug since it can screw you over if you want to get back to stage or defend.
This must cover the grapple issue I posted about above. Great news.
(Grappling to an enemy launched you off the screen and you died in a hot second.)
You can find this info by looking through the characters' progression rewards in the Collection menu. Besides that, I don't know.
Cool I see now shaggy > 11. Meh I see enough of him online haven't really bothered buying anyone yet but I'll have to throw down for reindog when he rotates out he's too fun + not spammed every match like bugs and finn
I've been hitting my stride with Garnet. Both a melemonster and a spammy beast. A lot of folks don't seem to realize they are in my shock ball and then I'm pummeling them and all charged up. Then they are getting fists of fury. Can rack up sneaky damage real quick
Ooooo, you might be right about that! I'll give it a try next time I play, thanks for the heads up.
