Some interesting news came out via Twitter concerning MultiVersus balance. It’s incredibly challenging to balance a fighting game, with many players feeling strongly about how certain characters are too strong.
After Twitter user and MultiVersus player AvGMikko toyed with the idea of unlocking Bugs Bunny, Tony Huynh, co-founder of Player First Games, informed the player that Bugs Bunny nerfs were coming to MultiVersus but after the upcoming EVO tournament.
Change is coming in MultiVersus for Warner Bros.’ Bugs Bunny, not everyone’s thrilled
One of the hardest parts of balancing fighting games is in the characters themselves. Professional players tend to have opinions that differ wildly from the casual community, and balancing the wants and needs of both is often a difficult task. A set of nerfs are, as of this moment, confirmed, thanks to a Twitter interaction.
There are no specific details on what is changing in Bugs Bunny, other than he is confirmed for some nerfs. The developer made sure to state the character’s still going to be fun, but he is getting nerfed. Huynh tweeted:
“Nerfs inc after EVO, but Bugs Bunny will always be fun”
EVO, Evolution Fighting Championship Series is the biggest fighting game tournament in the world and will be taking place from August 5-7, 2022, so fans can expect the nerfs to come after that.
Not everyone was thrilled with the news. In fact, many players felt the developers were just bowing to pros' complaints instead of using more data.
Others begged for there not to be another Bugs Bunny nerf, whereas others would try to get information on other nerfs that are coming. This made some fans nervous, like Superman mains, who don’t want him to be nerfed.
One Twitter user figured Superman in MultiVersus would be a strange nerf. Still, as another user pointed out, everyone has a character that they think is a problem and is overall too powerful.
The original poster, AvGMikko, asked for some buffs when it came to Shaggy, but there was no response. It’s worth noting that the original Twitter post came from someone who has a bio claiming to be the Rank #1 Shaggy.
Some people would complain about projectile characters in general and how their powers can just be spammed with no cooldowns. There wasn’t too much sympathy for these kinds of complaints, with people remarking that one can use the dodge button.
Other fans hope that the MultiVersus nerfs won’t be too bad, as at least one Twitter user recently picked up the rabbit as a character. On the other side of the discussion, some are convinced that the developers hate Bugs Bunny and refuse to let him be competitively viable.
MultiVersus also saw an online-only patch that was revealed today by Tony Huynh. It addresses Batman's Grapple, Steven's Nair knockback, and he is reasonably sure the Iron Giant Air Down Special Infinite has been fixed. He also pointed out that while the grapple has improved, it's not completely fixed.
The precise details of the nerfs are not yet known, but the developer certainly confirmed that something is on the way. On the other hand, if data suggests that Bugs Bunny doesn’t need a nerf, it could change.
