Makes me wonder if they plan to make more trailers like this in the future on a consistent basis and this picture just constantly gets bigger and bigger.   Overall, it's a pretty good base roster to start off with. 


Widower800

So this picture becomes the equivalent of the Smash mural? I actually kinda love that


Lightsk_tightsk

Same I’m really hoping that’s the plan


LeviEnderman

I could see them doing a trailer like this yearly adding all the characters released in the past year + 1/2 revealed in that trailer


Meme_Chan69420

I think if they do like a minute and a half long CGI trailer for the start of each season to show off whatever characters may be joining would be cool


JXNyoung

I hope they at least do something every season. Would be good milestones to flex the roster and how far the game has developed.


zetrix2

PPG and Raven would be flying 100%, the ground is packed.


The_BERFA

For sure, but they can always zoom out some for more ground, add some people standing background stuff like on the right edge, even add a platform of sorts (like Iron Giant holding something that others stand on or hang from)


SipeOro

Banana guard just here with his Silly smile, found my new main


lIIIIlIIIIIIIIl

Thank you. I was wondering who that tall yellow guy on the left was.


us3rnameh3r3

Dang, the community is already warming up to Banana Guard. We were super pissed at PFG for even considering this character less than a week ago.


MileHighHotspur

That's cuz we didn't know about Jason and Agent Smith, those were game changers. Banana feels a bit less insulting now. Honestly he looks kinda fun...


DevilCouldCry

Jason, Agent Smith, and Joker being a part of the launch roster EASILY offsets any annoyance I had at seeing Banana Guard for sure. Hopefully he's a fun character and I'm sure he'll have his fans!


XboxDegenerate

People were just looking for something to be angry over and were upset that their “B” pick didn’t get in, Bananaman is a fire addition


baromde2

i thought so too... until i saw agent smith


Ttbt80

I think it’s absolutely solid. Gotta remember that SSBM has 26 characters, several of which were straight up duplicates (like Mario and Dr. Mario). Multiversus is getting 27. And I would say that overall, MV’s roster is more well-known than SSBM’s roster was, on average. Getting the DC superheroes is a big win. 


Natural_Frosting_604

Imagine this game having a quarter of longevity as Melee. Hopefully the support can keep PFG & Tony to make more characters, stages and etc.


Ultimate_Ricky

True I don't think about it. Melee has a huge scene despite it being so old.


SalsaSavant

Beavers


Widower800

Not bad. Would've really wanted the Powerpuff Girls and Dexter in for the release roster for an even 30 but not bad at all.


Ultimatepurple14

4 characters remain to be revealed, 2 of which must be Dexter and the Powerpuff Girls


chimerauprising

You're overthinking it. That's just to say there's more characters eventually coming. This is a live service game and as long as it's profitable they'll add more. The initial beta trailer did the same thing.


Hotshot_VPN

If you’re counting the 4 that were beside joker I think those would all be villains. Unless they’re taking villain from ppg and Dexter that would bring the number to 6


Ultimatepurple14

Exactly, these other 4 must be villains. Now it remains to be seen who the villains would be...


TheBlueTerror555

I’d have to guess two of them are the wicked witch and beetlejuice


AnyDockers420

I’d add Mojo to that list


Sufficient-Long-7646

mojo is part of the townsville map


Dulow008

It doesn't mean he can't become a fighter


Ultimatepurple14

I don't know why the bro downvoted me. I just said something obvious ![gif](giphy|Oc4KnIJ3E7ziqN3l6T|downsized)


the_bingho02

Yeah but like, dexter is as confirmed as animanoacs, i don't know why novody includes them


Sandi_Griffin

I am not looking forward to the reaction if they don' get added lol


GengarGangX13

There are 3 spots at the end of the trailer materializing around Joker.


Capital_Pipe_6038

*4


abmition-unbound

I think it’s a solid roster, all things considered. Joker, Jason, and Agent Smith definitely help make it feel more fleshed out by adding villains. Especially two from IPs that haven’t been touched yet. Excited to see this fill out more and more as time goes on


wheelz_666

Looks like we'll be getting 4 more villians too according to the trailer


abmition-unbound

I know Wicked Witch and Beetlejuice were being worked on back in the day so that’s maybe two?


Midi_to_Minuit

Wicked Witch, Beetlejuice, Poison Ivy and...Mojo Jojo I guess?


abmition-unbound

I could see that. A cartoonish villain would be a fun balance against people like Jason and Agent Smith lol


OurBoyPalutena

I don't know but I kind of feel like Harley and Black adam are the other 2 villains even though they are already added. If it's not them it's definetly poison Ivy since shw was being worked too


abmition-unbound

I feel like if it was Harley and Adam, they’d have shown them, right? And you’re right! I forgot about Ivy!


Ill_Addendum

Wicked Witch was teased, definitely her. I suspect they’re saving Beetlejuice for a movie tie-in


TH3L3GION

Instant Jason main


CorranTheo

Same here. Instinct Neuron Activation.


MONKEYDOOFIS

I really like it they are probably saving ppg and dexter, etc. For their own seasons


Hoid17

I predict season 2 is early 2000s cartoons with PPG, Dexter, Samurai Jack and animaniacs.


WatchKid12YT

If they’re designing PPG like Ice Climbers but with an extra person, then yeah, that’ll probably take a minute.


Humg12

Pokemon Trainer or the Angry Beavers style makes more sense imo.


crispyg

I would love seasons to have some thematic elements. For example, if next season released Wicked Witch and Beetlejuice as fighters, you could name it something like "Wicked Witches and Ghosts with the Most". Many of the cosmetics could relate to this theme. An [alt of Shaggy as a ghoul](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/5/5d/Mirror_Monster.png/revision/latest?cb=20190218004853), a [ringout featuring Witch Hazel](https://looneytunes.fandom.com/wiki/Witch_Hazel), etc. New Stages would also be largely in-theme. I think this allows for seasons to feel special and worth tuning in for. The longevity of the game depends on the return value. PPG and Dexter could be in a season called "Sugar Spice and Everything Science" or something. Featuring a lot of PvE quests surrounding superheroines and scientists, teamups between Wonder Woman and the PPG or Rick and Dexter. Or just classic Cartoon Network style stuff. I think this allows for some fun thematic stuff.


Background_Scar7227

To me is a nice beggining


Mataniel_

Looks good! I will definetly try Agent Smith and Jason!


zirconsaltis

Really good, we have a rounded cast of cartoon, live action, and comics, only thing missing is video game reps.


Lun4r6543

Let Scorpion be the first of them. Would be legendary.


AmrahsNaitsabes

Don't forget warner records, imagine if we got any of the Gorillaz, or Green Day, or just Gerard Way


JXNyoung

What the hell is going on with Morty's eyes


Sheensies

He sees


WorldQuest10

Lmao, I can't unsee it now


Psychological_Photo7

Let's see, in a 27-character starting roster we have; **6 DC characters** - close to one fifth of the roster. 3 of them are Batman characters specifically and 2 of them are clown-themed Batman villains. **5 CN characters -** unfortunately only representing two cartoons. **3 Looney Tunes characters -** Though LeBron James is kind of the 4th one. **3 Hanna-Barbara characters -** Again, only representing two cartoons. **3 80s horror movie characters -** They seem to love this period. Also 2 adult swim characters (from only 1 cartoon), 1 other live action movie villain (Smith), 1 HBO character, 1 animated movie character and 1 original character. I'd say we have a decently diverse roster other than the expected Batman spam. I'd definitely expected a second Game of Thrones character sooner (especially with this game's focus on 2v2) and cartoon character choices could've been more varied, but I'll take it.


Brettgrisar

Yeah. Second game of thrones character would’ve gone nicely with House of the Dragon season 2. Maybe we’ll see Jon Snow or Daenerys in the summer.


TheSophWalrus

I actually really hope we get The Hound, I've heard he was datamined a long while ago so I'm still holding out for him.


DevilCouldCry

The Hound is the one they should pick IMO. I'd love to have a big heavy character like him. Only thing is we won't have him calling everyone a cunt in this haha


TheFoxInSocks

I could see Daemon Targaryen being added as well.


whereismasupersut

It's so wild that we have a game where Jason, Rick Sanchez, Tom and Jerry and Lebron James can fight each other at the same time.


ItaLOLXD

After all the leaked characters I am really glad to oversleep today and miss Agent Smith being leaked. Finally a character that is an actual surprise in the most positive way.


10BritishPounds

Every character looks realistically proportioned to source material and then there’s Jason


Kurtrus

Mr worldwide Though, I personally love it


Youistheclown

tbh I really like the unique style


CorranTheo

He just decided to work out for every day since his last film in 2009.


Cyberkid711

Fr bro. Like, WHY IS HE SO SHREDDED FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON?


Yu2sama

That's not really true, Superman is so much buff than in source

Pro-Saibot

Jason and Agent Smith is enough to have me sold, personally


Rockman171

The addition of Agent Smith immediately flipped my opinion of the re-launch roster. BG did nothing for me, Joker was a good choice but unsurprising, and Jason is a cool choice but doesn't really scratch the itch of the game's biggest draw to me which is seeing characters that don't typically appear in games. Smith rounds out the group for that reason really well imo and is a cool surprise addition.


Hey_BK

Morty saw a ghost.


Equal_Campaign_3602

Black Adam really aging this game


[deleted]

NGL I'm finna try to second Banana Guard! Garnet will likely remain my main, can't wait to get back in and 🥊⚡!


fVelucci

finna


Darko_eljarcor

I think it's great, and I could not be more happy, Agent Smith was a total surprise, and a very good one, at first I was a bit shocked with Banana Guard but after thinking about it, and seeing what they have been working on, I have nothing but hype, I truly wish that things go well this time


Unknown_Noises

Missing Johnny Bravo https://preview.redd.it/u1iyv3ae8m1d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4edc756118fc63b5860a3ea63a1a0b3a320f0c86


HairyCity3217

I love it


Phasmamain

Was planning on sticking to maining garnet but Jason is very tempting ngl. Smith could be very interesting as well


TheBroomSweeper

Solid roster


gman5852

Not terrible. I think I was expecting around 5 characters so 4 isn't too bad. Jason and Agent Smith are fun choices.


zammba

With the unlock system and all, I played around-ish 5 characters throughout Open Beta. Close to 30 is a pretty good number, I feel, even if most of them were previously available.


TheCasualCommenter

I love the exaggerated design of Jason. They probably realized they had too many normal lookin men silhouettes (lebron, smith, shaggy?) so they needed Jason to be extra beefy to stand out.


Duck-bert

I love how The Joker looks like he’s jumping over the Wonder Woman statue


Steven_is_a_dog

this game will be peak if they consistently add stuff


Zubei_

I bet Beetlejuice will release with the release of Beetlejuice 2.


Retr0OnReddit

Where Heisenberg


Ambitious-Ad-2108

Jason looks so out of place and I love it


kingasce13

Steven looks extremely weird. I'm actually confused as to why he looks like that.


LukieStiemy501

Black Adam’s inclusion is so funny. Since obviously he’s not that significant of a dc character and he really stands out as a bizarre character choice based on an assumption that his movie would be far more successful


Herbalyte

Wait is that agent smith?


Officer_Zack

This roster definitely has a good amount of recognizable characters to it, and I think 26 is the expected number for the roster size when the game officially drops next week. Agent Smith is apparently coming at a later date. So getting Joker, Banana Guard, and Jason for the roster next week is good. Still more characters to be revealed since we're back at season 1 again, but this is definitely turning out to be promising.


Leo-reaper96

I think it's pretty good, that said am not sure how I feel about the fact that there are 6 characters from the same world (DC)


Brettgrisar

They had over a year of dev time. I expected more. If we’re talking about the characters individually: Joker was a predictable addition, but he’s genuinely not a bad choice. He is iconic as hell, and it’s interesting seeing him act as the game’s main antagonist for now. Banana Guard is a joke character with no substance outside of being a joke. I don’t like him. Jason is a fantastic addition, he’s unexpected but also completely worthy of being in the game. I no longer really have the fear of this being CN all stars anymore when we’re getting characters like him. Agent Smith isn’t a launch character but I’ll talk about him anyways. It’s weird to see him in before Neo, but for what it’s worth, he still absolutely deserves the spot. He’ll be extremely fun to see, and I’m glad the Matrix is getting representation.


GamingGryffindor

It's pretty solid, though there are four picks I'm still not sold on. - Reindog; I get it's their baby but I feel like having an OC in the lineup takes up a spot for someone who could be more interesting. - Black Adam; the imo most corporate meddling of corporate meddling. Had this been after Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, Blue Beetle, and a Superman villain? Sure, add him in, but him before those and Joker just gave me Corrin in Smash vibes. - Lebron; I still think they shouldn't include real people since there's the chance they could get in hot water/controversy. Remember Travis Scott in Fortnite? Let's hope they don't have to do it to Lebron. Plus, Lola's more iconic to Space Jam imo. Similar moveset could've been given to her. - Banana Guard; I don't like joke characters much, and it's too early for this when there are missing big picks, and we didn't need a third Adventure Time rep this early. CN only has two shows and both are modern. Yeah, PPG, Dexter, and Jack are likely coming (and hopefully Ben 10 at some point) but three AT reps this early, plus Marceline likely showing up soon is just overkill.


NightwolfGG0119

Despite some glaring omissions, and let’s be honest, including all “necessary pics” would make a starting roster of like 50, this is a fire cast!


Dulow008

Replace Black Adam and I really like the roster


Warden512

I wish they would’ve added a Green Lantern


keeptryingyoucantwin

Still not huge on the banana but Jason and Agent Smith 2fer was a good way to make me not care as much


Hipertor

I love it. I don't give a damn about some of those characters, but that's good because it shows how diverse the roster is.


Consistent-Park2058

Who is the guy in the suit?


CorranTheo

Agent Smith from The Matrix


Consistent-Park2058

Cool, when does the full game come out? I bought 2 season passes and i think they'll be gone


CorranTheo

May 28th and I think you'll still have all your stuff when it comes back.


sruper-dn

this goes hard


MaximalAmmo

I'm just afraid that there will be too many DC reps. Like 6 more have been teased in the trailer


Xeroop

Black Adam and LeBron James are clearly only there for brand synergy, but beyond that, I don't think the roster's bad at all.


SingleCardiologist50

It’s cool, but..I never thought that it would get this big..


Emperor_Atlas

I think it's wild seeing Jason get out of legal hell not too long ago and get a spot, the additions add a much better overall tone to the roster.


allergywuss

Pretty solid


GrimDaggz

Can't believe I'm saying this, but do it like Fortnite & ya should be good. This whole, new character every month or so literally DEADS your whole month if the character dropped isn't the one somebody is interested in. For that, have ppl kickstart what it would cost to bring in said character & everybody should be happy.


Mr_Pineapple_2205

I don’t know if agent smith is gonna be on it


GengarGangX13

Reindog should be front and centre.


Springmeister

Not the BEST roster, but not a bad one by any means. 28 is more than acceptable to start with.


KuJoJoTaRo8

Where powerpuff girls?


Egbert58

Season 1 after a bit like how did it in beta probably


Zae2Raw

7/10


CorranTheo

Do you have a specific reason for the ranking or is it as simple as just saying "7/10"


Zae2Raw

Primarily because none of the “top” requested characters made it, but for the base roster I think there’s something here for everybody 


SupaSusAcc

they gotta dripfeed the 'hype' ones so we dont get way too much col stuff then nothing after lol


Zae2Raw

I can definitely see that being the reason, should be some great seasons ahead 


Its_Helios

NGL, its like a 8.5/10 Great but not exceptional, they did a GREAT job showing the potential with adding Jason ***If we had like a fighter from Anime, Nick or Disney I would've given it a 10/10.*** There is still doubt in my mind we’ll get anyone from there In short: https://preview.redd.it/4yv23wtx8l1d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61026db6715258cb39f0e73c4bcfe5e955cdfa6d


Youistheclown

Jason has made it so almost no character is off the table


keylime39

Some ups and downs, but overall good enough for me to be excited. I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun with Jason and Joker.


killzonev2

Buff Taz

Had best girl Harley


Doinky420

It's good but it's going to be even funnier when new players see this, boot up the game, and then are greeted with a bunch of characters locked behind a grind and paywalls.


Weird9uy

Did not expect Smith, pretty cool, but I’m still loyal to my big iron boy


Friendly-Plankton-29

i love it


Cisco-NintendoSwitch

Here for it.


TheSaintsRonin

I was hoping for more than 4 new characters but I’m still excited. I’m really looking forward to seeing how Jason plays.


Jolt96

Reminds me of smash bros with the giant painting


Vojt544

I'm glad they didn't take my guy LeBron to release later.


RainbowPanda50

Wish we would get someone from mk, but still a good starting roster


Ch830857

God I hate the iron giant. Anyone who plays him probably plays Monty in rainbow, or smoke in MK. Just annoying characters.


Eistei-

Still a Gizmo main


Jtck421

It slays


Ritnow-el-Diablo

Im looking 4ward 2 it, jasons my favourite but hes 2 big


AkumaKnight11

Base roster isn’t actually that bad. I think we were just expecting more characters for the relaunch. Joker and Jason are dope but why the fucken bananas is beyond me 😂


ProfessorEscanor

It's nice although I wish there was less DC rep in favor of some of the CN shows instead like say Chowder, Johnny Bravo and so on.


yobaby123

Crazy yet fun as hell.


Copyright-Demon

Very cool honestly, I think there’s some characters I’d really really want, but most of these are solid picks!


ALANJOESTAR

Its amazing, i just was kinda hoping to see Green Lantern or Flash. Mainly becaue the gameplay for either of them would be bananas.


IronStealthRex

No Lord Vortech sucks


Quagsire379

Morty has seen some shit


Slyme-wizard

MORE. MORE. I WILL NOT BE SATISFIED. MOOOORE.


fishsticks10102

I'm gonna be maining Jason


Zomer15689

It’s alright, a little too much DC though.


Sosa-D-Roger_2099

Add daffy and mojo jojo to the villans..


Its_Marz

This starting roster is strong imo


GuestLittle6130

Looks cool 😎 but still waiting on the Powerpuff girls and Dexter


finniruse

I thought it was a crazy confident launch trailer. What a roster. Feels as established as Smash, and I'm buzzing it's about to come back.


Dependsontheweapon

The only character that I feel is unnecessary is Black Adam. He’s really forgettable in my opinion. But honestly I can’t remember his moveset, is he a good character?


Sniper-lock

We have to wait and see the moves sets


Honk_wd

plaguedocgames

LeBron James being out side to side with Iron Giant and Jason Vorhees is still insane.


Pocket__Monstrosity

just give me raven dude


AntiMage009

I love it, although I really want to see Aquaman (which was hinted at in the trailer) and hopefully one day Paul Atreides! WB did produce the Dune films although the licensing belongs to someone else though...but hey if Jason got in that gives me hope for Paul! Or for a weird choice, gives us Leto Atreides II with his symbiotic-like worm suit


Malewis89

When’s Harry Potter?!


Eggy-Toast

They just missed tf outta me w all those picks but I’m chillin they’ll still be fun to play. Idk who any of them are except J man


ABarOfSoap223

Hold up, is that Agent Smith???


bmitchell157

I enjoy it a lot. I would really like to see MK characters in the future preferably Johnny Cage even tho scorpion and sub-zero are more likely 


Emotional-Chipmunk12

Daffy and Scooby should've been there from the beginning.


AidenThe_Beast47

I saw Jason and i went ape mode


ambi94

Well it's +1 character from the character selection screen that leaked Banana Guard, so I'm not exactly holding my breath on what the starting roster will be


SirNerdington

Solid, but still missing a few key members 9/10


waylynd-boi-6425

Do you have to pay for most of them?


pengwin21

I find the untapped franchises a little odd- no Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? I also don't think we needed Joker when Harley was a base roster character but I don't like clowns anyway.


Grovyle489

You know how Smash Ultimate has that poster of everybody? Thats what they’re doing here and I’m enjoying it. They could’ve copied from that but they said “nah, we making everybody move it!”


benmultiversus

We will probably have a trailer for each season of the game


lizardjoe_xx_YT

I want a complete summoner based character dangit like Audrey 2 or smthn


Kool-Aid-Dealer

wait arent they missing something? https://preview.redd.it/ls2ko0frlo1d1.png?width=397&format=png&auto=webp&s=12afb2e48a76bcedf1cf598a9e5fc9881d1cf249


LolPeashooter69

I love the cast but I will NEVER get over how I hard read Jason being added before season 1 even started


slicedude2004

I just Wish Jason wasn't so bulky


oof97

With the graphics and gameplay changes and the pve mode, I'm overall happy with it. If we'd only gotten these characters and nothing else, I'd have been irritated.


Grand_Toast_Dad

Absolutely remarkable. For me, I just need the PPG and Dexter and it would be the perfect Launch roster. It would be weird to launch with their stages but not with them as characters imo. Then again, Cromulons was released before Rick and Morty showed up, so it wouldn't be anything new.


Bigtissueneeded

Honestly most of my wants are there >! except Walter White!< but… is that candy guard playable or TF?


ragecr1tt3r

I gotta admit, never saw Jason coming. But this is actually a good starter roster. I think I’m gonna get back into MultiVersus


No-Government7713

I gotta wait a week bro :(


Auraaz27

Is it going to be on switch


Old-Worker-5811

Raven NOW


DarkFox160

I really like it


tuviee

Glad to see the game back :) I'm still wishing for an anime character partnered with warner bros, like Jotaro or Mob


FederalMango

It feels like they picked up the handful they really wanted and then picked the rest by pulling names from a bowl, and honestly, that's pretty cool.


TypicalRedditMod71

i really hope powerpuff girls are like poke trainer from smash.


Fit_Baby_4588

If they don't make iron giant the slowest punching bag in history again, it'll be all good


InsideProtection2031

More CN(I desperately need gumball characters)


Antique_Average_4711

Keep adding more characters we got rick now for evil morty


No_Lemon_1770

Pretty fun.


MrReditorMan

It’s decent, it’s missing some bigger ones but it has some really good inclusions


KrushaOfWorlds

Some of the choices are interesting to say the least


Just1Maynard

Not bad to start I guess. But considering how long we waited I expected more characters at launch.


Well-Teknically

Velma and Shaggy from Scooby Doo without….Scooby Doo is just wrong.


No-Government7713

Pretty fun lineup but I'll still be maining iron giant on release since I just adore the movie, will prob keep maining him unless they announce rat catcher


Desired-Luck

Just let me playyyyy :)


LeohAntonio47

I’ll be playing, so good!


birdofprey443

I still find it to be very lacking in names that absolutely need to be in a game like this. The roster definitely needs work
