| 3s | Holding the top left, I see you - GET OUT OF HERE! NO CLUES! |
| 6s | It ain't no leg day right now... it's still arms |
| 10s | Hello and welcome to round 2 of the Multiversus Pro Player Showcase. |
| 14s | I'm your host, dapurplesharpie. Today we have a matchup comprised of |
| 18s | two established fighting game community competitors and content creators |
| 23s | paired with some of the strongest players inside of the technical test. |
| 28s | Let's go ahead and get into it. |
| 29s | Team 1 is comprised of Team Spooky, who will be using Shaggy, and |
| 34s | Leviathan, who will be using Velma. |
| 36s | Team 2 will be comprised of Apologyman, who will be using Tom and Jerry, |
| 41s | and Brokkr, who will be using Superman. |
| 45s | Since we got a Superman in the mix today, let's get over to our Superman |
| 48s | superfan, IFC YipeS, and co-commentator, Ajax. |
| 55s | Alright, it's time to get into that Multiversus action. |
| 58s | I'm of course Ajax, joined by the one and only, IFC YipeS. |
| 61s | And we're going to be talking about the four players who are going to showcase some |
| 64s | amazing gameplay here for Multiversus today. |
| 67s | Absolutely man. This man needs no introduction. Spooky, "the Spookster", of course. |
| 71s | Over at teamspooky on his Twitch channel. |
| 74s | Streamed the legendary tournaments across the board for many years. |
| 77s | I would have to say, like 15 plus, even more to be honest. Man I'm dusty. |
| 80s | But anyway, definitely been showcasing a lot of legendary stuff from the FGC in general. |
| 85s | And known for being a great competitor too in his respectful game. |
| 89s | I'm glad to see him here. |
| 90s | One hundred percent. We respect the foundation that was built before us. |
| 93s | The ground that we stand on today and part of that, also comes from Leviathan, his teammate. |
| 97s | One of the best players we have seen from the playtest. |
| 99s | He has showcased so many incredible combos. So many incredible plays |
| 103s | and we're going to get everybody to see today. |
| 105s | And we're going with the theme team. We've got Velma and Shaggy to start things off. |
| 109s | But on the other side of it, you've got Brokkr and ApologyMan. |
| 113s | Of course, you know a little something about ApologyMan. |
| 115s | Yeah, so ApologyMan, you know the greatest meme walking on earth. |
| 119s | Which is crazy. He likes eating warm milk with cereal. |
| 123s | This guy is a weirdo, but what's not weird is his gameplay. |
| 126s | Even though he does play a lot of the oddball characters, of course. |
| 129s | But that's what makes Vineeth, Vineeth, and of course that is ApologyMan. |
| 132s | So it's good to see him here and of course been in multiple Top 8s for EVO |
| 135s | and just won a ton of tournaments on his northern side in California. |
| 139s | And just everywhere else in the world really. So it's pretty cool to see him here as well. |
| 143s | And the champion, in his own right, is Brokkr. The best Superman we have seen. |
| 147s | I know you ready to see this. He's going to be stealing all of the moves that he pulls off. |
| 150s | All the tech and we're going to be seeing that teamed up with Tom and Jerry. |
| 154s | That team-up is going to be very strong of a zoner based character and a |
| 158s | bruiser leading up with a good point control. A lot of armor, |
| 161s | a lot of zoning going into this match. |
| 163s | So one thing that I love about Brokkr's Superman is the simple fact that I stole all his tech. |
| 168s | So when I was actually playing this game, you guys were telling me |
| 171s | "Hey man, you need to use this guy's reference", I did. |
| 173s | It definitely showed me a lot. I like the meta that he uses |
| 176s | where he uses body armor with like forward attack. |
| 179s | He holds it and if you try to attack, he'll like weave and get a punish and stuff like that |
| 182s | to a big combo. So I like the meta game behind the armor |
| 186s | the armor behind his moves. Pretty fire. |
| 188s | Yeah, it's almost his own form of armordashing, |
| 190s | the way he does it. It doesn't start in the initial frames, but if you're too scared to |
| 194s | challenge that because Superman has armor on, everything he's charging |
| 197s | and you got to hold that. And you might be holding that here as we start things off |
| 200s | on the first game of Player Showcase #2. |
| 203s | Let's see how ApologyMan starts his zoning game off. |
| 205s | He's putting the pressure on you see. Brokkr over on the right trying to |
| 208s | challenge it, but on the other side of the Red Team, they're going to zone a lot with Velma. |
| 212s | And Shaggy's going to be taking that point there on the side of Spooky. |
| 216s | What I love first and foremost, before we even get to the gameplay, |
| 219s | this just looks like a family barbecue to me. |
| 221s | This is pretty dope that we're getting to see this. I can't wait for the offline side of things as well. |
| 225s | I'm pretty excited for this. Look at the Superman. |
| 227s | We already got the ledge of course. |
| 230s | and Leviathan just fighting for his life over there. |
| 233s | Meanwhile Spooky coming in, trying to break it up. |
| 234s | You always have to watch out for that giant beam that she has because |
| 238s | she's able to get a weakness buff on you, which increases the damage you take. |
| 241s | And also she could call the cops. You got to runaway from that. |
| 244s | Mr. Jenkins is currently on Superman. |
| 245s | [Both Laughing] |
| 247s | It's gonna scoop you up. It's going to take you out. |
| 249s | Brokkr did it right. Stalled away from that and did not get caught. |
| 253s | Oh my God, alright. Ok, we getting some space here. |
| 256s | I like how they're holding both of these sides too, but then it get scrambly all of a sudden, |
| 259s | but I like that though. It looks chaotic, |
| 261s | but trust me, it makes sense. I promise you. |
| 264s | Oh nice! Nice up attack. Get the hell out. Get roofed. |
| 267s | An amazing job right there. And when it comes to chaos, |
| 270s | chaos control is Tom and Jerry. We talk about the collateral damage. |
| 273s | Look at the way ApologyMan can challenge that. |
| 275s | Go for the down air, going all the way up. Catching frying pans to take him out. |
| 279s | And before you saw how he's in the middle of the entire break. |
| 281s | That's just what he can do. His hitboxes are great. |
| 284s | YipeS, Blue Team's got a pretty solid start here. |
| 288s | Listen, I'm a big fan of Brokkr right now. I like how he knocked him up in the air |
| 290s | and then went for the neutral attack just to pile some damage on the percentages |
| 294s | to get the easier knockdown. The knockout. |
| 296s | And you see what he's doing. A second ago, he was doing the down neutral attack |
| 299s | into the jump cancel d-air so he could keep the pressure going. |
| 302s | And he has a projectile shield on him at the moment, but it's gone. |
| 306s | Meanwhile Spooky going off stage. but because Spooky |
| 308s | went off stage to try and go challenge the Superman recovery, |
| 310s | he got caught by the down air from Tom and Jerry. |
| 313s | Get scooped. Throw him into the laundry chute.. yes? |
| 316s | uh-huh. Down attack all day. I like that. |
| 318s | What? That was a game? |
| 321s | That was the game. These are shared lives. |
| 323s | They only have four lives in total and the moment that they're gone, that's it. |
| 326s | That's why you have to be careful. |
| 327s | You trying to go off stage and help your teammate, you might get cooked for it. |
| 331s | We talk about the family barbecue, they was cooking. |
| 333s | And a big reason why was that off stage play. He was canceling off the wall. |
| 337s | He kept going for down airs over and over again. |
| 339s | And even if you got by that, ApologyMan's sitting up top waiting for you. |
| 344s | Listen man, first off that was bars. |
| 346s | Second, Spooky and Leviathan, they got their gluteus maximus kicked. |
| 351s | They definitely need to raise that difficulty setting. That was pretty cool though man. |
| 354s | You know at first, I liked how everybody just scrambles to get that high percentage. |
| 358s | Just to assess the situation, notice once they're high in the percentage, everything just slows down |
| 363s | so you can actually catch the gameplay. I see what's going on here. |
| 366s | I see that everybody has picked very popular pick and everyone has the frost debuff. |
| 370s | That frost debuff gives you access to slowing people down by hitting them with a projectile. |
| 375s | When you have Tom and Jerry, you're using that triple dynamite perk to set that up so you can get more |
| 380s | and what Superman gets to do is come and drop the frost breath |
| 384s | and get those stacks going quicker so people are moving slow. |
| 387s | Same strat on the other side too, but it's easier for the Blue Team to set it up. |
| 393s | Let me get a little more locomotive charge. |
| 395s | Me playing as Superman, that's not a move you really get to see. |
| 399s | But I like seeing people get buffed out. That's just me. |
| 402s | That's a personal favorite. |
| 403s | It's good too when you have a zoner on your team like that. |
| 406s | But so many - Look how many debuffs are around this team. |
| 409s | This would be good if you had a cleanse type archtype on your team |
| 412s | if you see a Wonderwoman, but it doesn't matter cause Brokkr's swinging. |
| 416s | He was looking to take him off the top. |
| 417s | Leviathan can't save Spooky right now. |
| 419s | Spooky trying to get back down to ground. YipeS, they're struggling. |
| 423s | Yeah, I know they're struggling, but I'm loving Kalel right now. |
| 425s | He's getting pressed by Velma. We've found the clues. Call the po-po-police. |
| 429s | Have them on speed dial. Get them off of me. |
| 431s | That is the best thing that could happen to him because of the fact that |
| 434s | the cop is going onto Superman, they could stall. If that was going onto |
| 437s | Tom and Jerry, that means that they don't get the zone and they get to 2v1 |
| 441s | the Superman because Tom and Jerry is too busy trying to run away. |
| 445s | Not for nothing. I can't believe I'm commentating the platformer right now. |
| 447s | [Both Laughing] |
| 449s | A platformer? Hello. |
| 451s | Okay, let me see something Spooky. I'm a big fan. You know I'm a big fan. |
| 454s | Everyone's that is watching this video, is a big fan. |
| 456s | Oh, we're almost getting roofed. |
| 457s | That's a lot of resources gone for Spooky. |
| 460s | And he's gonna - Oh wow he actually got underneath that. |
| 462s | But meanwhile, Leviathan going in to save him using the up air's giant lightbulb. |
| 466s | She's thinking. |
| 467s | We added a frying pan, we cooking. |
| 470s | This is a family barbecue. That's bars. |
| 471s | I see you Ajax. Okay. |
| 475s | Alright now, they're going to need a new recipe. They're going to need one fast. |
| 478s | But there, that could do it. Oh the psychic didn't get the K.O. |
| 480s | That's a lot of resources gone, but because of the command grab, you snatch them up. |
| 483s | You get back on safely. |
| 485s | They are looking smooth though for the high percentage. They got that good health insurance for sure. |
| 489s | You already know, that's a little too expensive around these parts right here. |
| 492s | And that's going to cost Velma off the top and might cost Spooky too. |
| 495s | Spooky running. He's trying to evade taxes. He's not trying to fight. |
| 498s | [Both Laughing] |
| 500s | You got to spend in order to keep your money huh? |
| 502s | Okay. Alright. Get out of here. |
| 505s | What? Okay. Alright. Get out of here. |
| 505s | What? |
| 506s | Incredible snipe. Using the beam to go ahead and catch him off the side. |
| 509s | And the slow debuff coming in clutch there for the Red Team over Superman. |
| 514s | Because Superman wasn't able to fly in quick enough to actually punish with that |
| 517s | command grab he was looking for. |
| 518s | Meanwhile, ApologyMan has been stock tanking. He's at 144 running, but |
| 525s | putting out so many hits that Velma can't really challenge him right now YipeS. |
| 528s | Bro... Look at Leviathan's movement. This schmovement is just immaculate. |
| 532s | It's just avoiding all danger. |
| 534s | Keeping that percentage nice and low. |
| 536s | Definitely looking for those baits. I see the flu season here. |
| 539s | Yeah. My goodness, Shaggy's normally so good at being able to challenge people with his |
| 544s | high priority, using his shield. Especially when he has enrage. |
| 546s | You can't do that in front of Superman. |
| 548s | Superman always has a hitbox. This is a 2v1 opportunity though, but they backed off. |
| 552s | This matters so much. This 2-to-2 can disappear so fast because everybody is getting |
| 558s | near K.O. percent and they can find that K.O. real soon on Superman. |
| 563s | We in a scramble. Get up, out of there. |
| 565s | I see you Kalel. Smooth movements indeed. The beams, |
| 569s | I like the movement for the beams. You can snipe with the beam and actually go for an up attack. |
| 574s | Which is pretty good. You got to catch it though, his snipe if you actually see the reset. |
| 577s | Get in position for - |
| 579s | Okay, him putting out the dynamite there mattered so much because if |
| 582s | ApologyMan got caught for one of those forward airs or up air, Spooky was waiting on the |
| 586s | top to capitalize on the blind psychic. |
| 590s | There's no buildings here Superman. All air. |
| 593s | -He's going to tear it down. -Alright Spooky. Almost about to get knocked up. |
| 595s | -Everybody aiming for Spooky. I would have done the same thing man. |
| 597s | Smart move there from Brokkr and ApologyMan. |
| 600s | Big time agree. Now ApologyMan at 108, but Leviathan at 122. |
| 605s | Oh, if that was a lineup, that could have gotten some damage, but even then |
| 609s | Superman could scoop you off the top. |
| 611s | So ou have to be real careful with how jumpy you get up there right now. |
| 614s | Leviathan almost going to go down. Stalls as much as he can. |
| 617s | Spooky tries to get away. Leviathan did not have enough resources. |
| 620s | And the Blue Team goes up two games. |
| 623s | the cooldown for sure to come back in the match. Yeah, lost all of his moves. Had to wait for |
| 626s | You know in the heat of the battle sometimes, from experience, I actually forget my cooldown is down |
| 631s | in terms of using another jump or another move and I'm pretty much cooked. |
| 634s | And I'm thinking it's like my controller. Looking like "Hey, what's wrong? |
| 637s | But no, I'm actually using all of my resources. |
| 639s | First off, they're trying to stretch it out. |
| 641s | Unfortunately, as a Batman player, I know at all times when my resources are gone, |
| 644s | because he lets you know that the batarang is not available right now. |
| 647s | But at least there's that nice little sound cue. |
| 651s | For Superman, you need that. You need to know how many jumps you've used |
| 655s | because you have so much mobility, you want to chase someone off stage, |
| 658s | but then you make a mistake. |
| 660s | For Velma, she has such minimal vertical recovery, she has to go horizontal. |
| 664s | And if you have Superman out there with you, you can't jump. |
| 667s | You're going to get knocked out for that. So it's so scary to get around. |
| 673s | Yo, I cannot believe I'm seeing Tom and Jerry bro Superman. |
| 676s | [Ajax Laughing] Yo, I cannot believe I'm seeing Tom and Jerry bro Superman. |
| 677s | Yo, not for nothing. So... |
| 679s | Obviously I've played other platformers before, but this is something that my uncles, |
| 683s | my grandfather, my father can actually relate to. |
| 686s | This is actually sick man and they're beefing on top of that. |
| 689s | Talk about lore. |
| 691s | They don't care about any of - there's no beef with anybody on the screen. |
| 696s | They're not running into fade with anybody but themselves. |
| 699s | The fact that you got his is your own fault. |
| 702s | Like okay, listen, we're here. I don't know how we got here. |
| 704s | I know we got beef, but listen we're going to have to team up. |
| 707s | But if you hit me, I hit you. Tom and Jerry classic. |
| 710s | It's so funny and you're right, just the accessibility to love the lore of the characters. |
| 716s | The in-depth look at everything that they have. |
| 718s | It's so beautiful. You've got people of all ages wanting to play this and there's good reason |
| 722s | because they're in the middle of Bat Cave right now. |
| 724s | Tom and Jerry is fighting Uncle Shagsworth, Velma is over there trying to find clues |
| 728s | and Superman is wondering what in the world is going on this entire time. |
| 732s | He's been in enough crossover games with other ones, dealing with this right now. |
| 736s | He's getting cooked quite a bit. |
| 738s | That man is flying low altitudes. Oh beams. I like that. |
| 743s | Fast fall too. The Control |
| 744s | These gas prices are not cheap right now. That was like a seventy dollar flight. That's all I'm saying. |
| 747s | Facts. That's facts. |
| 750s | Oh get up attacked. Get up out of here. Gluteous maximus is getting kicked right here. |
| 755s | Everybody trying to get that space. Of course! mmm... |
| 759s | Holding the top left, I see you- GET OUT OF HERE! NO CLUES! |
| 762s | It ain't no leg day right now... it's still arms! |
| 764s | He's catching them all the way up the top. Catching a whip. |
| 767s | The strong command grab again. He's catching people so consistently |
| 770s | Because ApologyMan keeps sending him up and Red Team is down two games. |
| 774s | They can't make any more mistakes. |
| 777s | They're prepared, but they're not prepared. |
| 778s | Good God almighty, you could actually clearly see who the professionals are here. |
| 782s | And that is Brokkr and ApologyMan, but we ain't apologizing to nobody. |
| 785s | Oh get up attacked. Get up out of here. |
| 788s | Go ahead and see through that - let me think real quick. |
| 791s | That up air is going to take out Superman. They can take out Apologyman ASAP |
| 795s | if they can snipe him, but that fishing pole all the way from the other side, |
| 798s | not letting Velma get any zoning going. |
| 800s | Velma's got to get down. Superman coming through, trying to fly through. |
| 803s | Luckily, both of them were out of the way. |
| 805s | I was just about to point that out about Leviathan right now. |
| 807s | He was definitely catching some hang time if you will, but definitely got control. |
| 810s | Got back on the ground to play that neutral. |
| 812s | Come here Superman. Where you going? There's no buildings here. |
| 815s | There's no buildings, but you are about the friendly skies, so it's cool. |
| 817s | -Off the stage, yeah that's healthy. [Clapping] That's Healthy |
| 819s | -There you go. Get them back in the game. -Off the stage, yeah that's healthy. [Clapping] That's Healthy |
| 820s | -There you go. Get them back in the game. |
| 822s | Spooky's only at 31, we've got 87 on Leviathan, but they've got one stock left. |
| 826s | Snatch them up. Send them to the top, send them packing. SHAZAM! |
| 830s | And that is a 3-0. 3-0 and a handshake at that for the Blue Team over the Red Team. |
| 837s | Listen man, shout out to the players, but shout outs to the voice actor. |
| 840s | Just the fact that the man is saying: "VICTORY" |
| 842s | [Ajax Laughing] |
| 844s | It just gives you a different vibe of letting you know that you won. |
| 847s | Beautiful stunt man. Beautiful showcase. I love what I saw. |
| 849s | Yeah man, you know when you get into the studio, you of all people know, |
| 852s | when you get that energy going in the studio and they ask you |
| 855s | "Get energized, get amplified for this set" |
| 858s | you're having a good time. But incredible set coming in there of course from the Blue Team. Taking it 3-0. |
| 866s | Man, and that was a fire match between both teams, but you definitely saw who was the real victor here. |
| 871s | And that was ApologyMan and Brokkr, but let's see exactly how they got their dub with these replays. |
| 877s | Most dangerous item on the menu is staring down Velma's up air |
| 881s | when she's trying to make you eat it. |
| 882s | Coming through there, catching the K.O., |
| 883s | but one thing is for sure, Brokkr does not waste a single second. |
| 887s | Closing out that stock immediately, getting the tempo back into favor for the team. |
| 890s | And then the double down air. |
| 892s | There was nowhere for Leviathan to go and go help him out. |
| 894s | Taking a look at this again. He tried to dodge up after the second one, but it was waited out |
| 899s | and as soon as he tried to go for it, immediately covered, there was nothing he could do. |
| 903s | I mean the name of the game is Synergy right? |
| 904s | 2v2 and you definitely see this in the high display here from ApologyMan and Brokkr. |
| 909s | It's all about sending them to the air of course with Tom and Jerry with that up attack. |
| 913s | Of course, the finisher from Superman was definitely the name of the game. |
| 916s | Of course, we get you out of that ledge, you're in trouble with Superman because |
| 919s | his frequent flyer miles is on 10. Absolutely there is no buildings in sight, |
| 923s | but you still see him throwing and whipping through the windows as he usually does. |
| 927s | Look at that. Get up out of there. Shaggy you're only human. |
| 932s | Very very nice. Look at that, of course, always knocking |
| 935s | them up in the air and the finish is right there for Brokkr. Clean. |
| 938s | Eyes all over the place. Thought process was insane. |
| 941s | The team synergy was so good between Brokkr and ApologyMan. |
| 944s | We saw some really good adjustments from Leviathan and Spooky, of course, |
| 948s | but let's go and get some insight from all of them. |
| 950s | Let's see exactly how they thought everything down, how they broke down the entire matchup |
| 955s | and let's go ahead and get those interviews started right now with Sharpie. |
| 960s | I'm here with Spooky, the fantastic Shagmister inside our last match. |
| 965s | How are you doing today Spooky? |
| 967s | I'm well, thank you. How are you Sharpie? |
| 969s | I'm great! Thanks for asking. |
| 971s | Now, inside of that last set, you were playing Shaggy. |
| 974s | What about that character made you want to play them? |
| 977s | So, they designed a character I think to be so simplistic, |
| 983s | I'm not really someone that plays a lot of platform fighters. |
| 985s | That's not really my typical style. So I was drawn to him right away. |
| 988s | Also, I was drawn to him because there was so many memes about this character. |
| 992s | Everybody wanted to know about Ultra Instinct Shaggy and of course he has the powerup. |
| 995s | He has the outfit and all that stuff. So that definitely drew me to the character as well. |
| 999s | How do you feel about the 2v2 team dynamic inside of MultiVersus? |
| 1004s | Like I said, platformers are not my forte or my strong suit. |
| 1008s | But I do think that it is interesting that from the jump, they tried implement something |
| 1013s | that makes it so that you have a reason to work together. |
| 1015s | And number one is the perks, where if you have certain perks. |
| 1017s | The triple jump perk right now is a good example. That's one that's very popular |
| 1020s | where both players get to have an extra jump, just because you can do it. That one's really big. |
| 1024s | Also, there's the major perks and working together with those, with your partner is a big deal. |
| 1028s | But also you have some moves that you could use that powerup the other person. |
| 1032s | So for example, Superman with his breath, |
| 1034s | not only can he attack the opponent or push them out the way, |
| 1037s | but he can also powerup like Batman's hands. |
| 1039s | Now Batman has ice hands to come rock you up. That type of thing. So I like that aspect a lot too. |
| 1043s | Now, inside of the game, we saw that you go through a series of different perks. |
| 1047s | Most notably, the third jump perk. |
| 1051s | Did you have any thought process behind that or any of the other perks that you and your teammate chose? |
| 1056s | I will say, that some of the debuff perks, since perks stack some of them. |
| 1060s | So when you and your partner both have them, some of the debuff perks look really interesting. |
| 1064s | Especially the ice perks and the fire perks. |
| 1066s | I'm not sure how much of that type of damage can really stack up over time. |
| 1069s | But, I would say that the status effects are not really something that I'm used to in a fighting game. |
| 1073s | In general, right? So something that's very itneresting. |
| 1076s | Are you excited to experiment with any different characters or any team compositions? |
| 1080s | Or even any crazy debuffs inside of the game? |
| 1084s | Maybe I'm most interested in the stages and how they are designed. |
| 1088s | You have a lot of stages like the Treehouse, where it has a very unique |
| 1091s | width that you can bounce someone off the tree and maybe if you get them |
| 1093s | just the right angle, you might be able to go for like an early kill off the bottom. |
| 1096s | Something like that. So those are the things that I would probably want to do the most research |
| 1100s | and even considering things like, well if we have these perks, |
| 1103s | and this stage comes up on the roulette, then we can make this happen. |
| 1106s | That's some of the stuff I'm most interested in. |
| 1109s | Now Spooky, do you have any words for the fans who are eagerly anticipating the release of MultiVersus? |
| 1116s | I would say that right now the game looks very exciting. |
| 1119s | It has a very cool platforming style. |
| 1121s | It has excellent movement. That's one of the things that really drew me to it the most. |
| 1124s | And if you guys are excited, well you know what, I was really excited once I got to play it. |
| 1127s | And I hope that you guys will enjoy it once it comes out. |
| 1130s | Thank you so much for your time today and I'm so happy that you ultimately enjoyed the game. |
| 1135s | I hope you have a great day Spooky. |
| 1137s | Take care Sharpie. Have a good one. |
| 1141s | We are here today with Leviathan, the bringer of knowledge and the wielder of Velma. |
| 1146s | How are you doing today Leviathan? |
| 1147s | I'm doing great. Thanks for having me. |
| 1149s | Thank you so much for being here. |
| 1151s | Inside of the last set, you were actually using Velma. |
| 1155s | What was it about that character that made you pick them? |
| 1161s | Velma's very supportive of her team and I feel like she's one of those characters |
| 1165s | with a lot of supportive themes to kinda help the team get ahead. |
| 1169s | And score K.Os and ring outs very easily deciding on how you set up for them. |
| 1174s | What other characters are interesting to you? |
| 1177s | I believe that a lot of the mage characters, such as Raindog, Bugs Bunny, |
| 1181s | all have interesting ways of playing around the field and generally helping out their teammate. |
| 1188s | Now, is that one of the reason why you like the mages, |
| 1191s | because they're able to help out with their teammates the most? |
| 1194s | Yes, they feel like they can pretty much deal with anything from most ranges. |
| 1201s | Now Levi, can I call you Levi? |
| 1203s | Yeah, of course. Sure. |
| 1205s | How do you feel about the 2v2 dynamic in MultiVersus? |
| 1209s | The twos feel pretty tight-knit. |
| 1212s | I feel like at all times, with my teammate, I have to either look at them or always rely on them |
| 1221s | because they have so many aspects of which they |
| 1223s | can assist me and so many aspects in which I can assist them. |
| 1226s | So everytime that I feel like I'm in disadvantage, I also have to check what advantage |
| 1232s | or what state of play my teammate is in. |
| 1234s | Speaking of teammates, you were teamed with Spooky, who is actually using Shaggy. |
| 1239s | What was the team synergy behind your character choices? |
| 1243s | A lot of it was that, you know as Velma, I can kind of dish out a lot of damage, |
| 1248s | dish out a lot of debuffs, etc. from about a further range from what Spooky can deal with, or Shaggy, to be specific. |
| 1257s | And Shaggy, whenever he makes his way in, he gets his charge. |
| 1260s | He can pretty much K.O, ring out my opponents, set up for kills pretty easily. |
| 1265s | Do you have any reason behind the perks that you and Spooky chose? |
| 1270s | The frost perk actually slows down my opponents, helping me set up or play my bit of range |
| 1277s | without worrying about burst options or my opponent showing up out of nowhere. |
| 1284s | Unfortunately, you and your teammate, Spooky, didn't with the set. |
| 1288s | What do you think that you and Spooky could have done differently to ultimately come out on top? |
| 1293s | I definitely felt like I should've took a little bit more aggressive fights in most of the turns. |
| 1300s | Spooky was - I need to make a lot of space for Spooky to do his thing as Shaggy. |
| 1305s | In which, I feel like I faltered in doing such. |
| 1308s | You had a chance to play the game, but for many people who have not yet, |
| 1312s | do you have any words for the fans who are eagerly waiting their chance to play MultiVersus? |
| 1318s | This game is definitely its own type of gem. |
| 1322s | You should definitely try to piece it together or play it with a different state of mind |
| 1328s | because this game is so much fun if you look at it as its own thing. |
| 1334s | Now Leviathan, thank you so much for your time today. |
| 1336s | Fantastic showing inside of this showcase and thank you so much for being here. |
| 1341s | Of course, thanks for having me yet again. |
| 1345s | Hello everybody, I'm here with Brokkr, one of |
| 1348s | the very talented players inside the MultiVersus Pro Player Showcase. |
| 1352s | Brokkr, for this set, you were playing Superman. What about that character made you pick them? |
| 1359s | First of all, hello, thank you for having me and nice job saying my name. |
| 1363s | Excellent. Superman really appeals to me because he has, to me, the best freedom of movement. |
| 1371s | So, I'm able to kinda just go where I want to. |
| 1375s | I see somewhere I want to hit, I'm there, in less than a second. |
| 1378s | As long as you can master that. So that's what's really appealing to me about him. |
| 1382s | Now, Brokkr, how do you like the 2v2 dynamic in MultiVersus? |
| 1388s | The 2v2 is just some of the most well designed that I've witnessed. |
| 1393s | For instance, me and Apologyman were talking about our strategies and stuff, |
| 1398s | but we were able to follow-up super well just off of the Tom and Jerry attack into a Superman attack. |
| 1405s | All these characters have these synergies that you discover, like oh how? |
| 1409s | I had no idea that Tom and Jerry's frying pan into Superman up grab, up air |
| 1413s | was so effective until you discover it. |
| 1416s | So, that's what's really exciting about those two, is finding the different combinations. |
| 1419s | Was there any other team synergy that went behind the thought for your team's characters? |
| 1425s | For the characters, not so much. I think we just picked who we liked. |
| 1429s | But for like perks, we had some discussions on what the best perks were. |
| 1434s | Superman has ice breath, so if we get the frost projectile, we're going to be able to actually get freezes. |
| 1440s | So that worked out pretty well. |
| 1444s | Just different strategies, like I remember we were going to rush down Velma. |
| 1447s | We're going to use you to zone off dynamite wall to prevent Shaggy from coming in. |
| 1450s | We're going to beat up Velma, right? |
| 1453s | So, you consider all the tools, you can mix up some cool strategies like that. |
| 1457s | You all played so amazingly that last set. |
| 1461s | What do you think that you and ApologyMan did better than your opponents in those matches? |
| 1466s | Honestly, I think a big strength of ours on our comp was the isolating them at ledge. |
| 1473s | So every time someone was at ledge, |
| 1476s | I would kinda let ApologyMan take the edge guarding situation. |
| 1479s | He'd spam the frying pan and I'd keep the other person off. |
| 1482s | Got so many, so many lives like that. |
| 1485s | So that was a really good combo. |
| 1488s | So Brokkr, how excited are you to experiment with |
| 1491s | different team compositions and different characters inside of the game? |
| 1495s | Oh, that's what I'm going to do as soon as I'm able to. |
| 1497s | Right after this. I mean that's one of the coolest things that they actually - |
| 1503s | There's a new Shaggy move. I didn't see it used too often this set, but |
| 1507s | the neutral beam, whenever you have rage, it'll teleport you to the nearest ally. |
| 1512s | So many cool combinations with that just opened up, just for a simple move like that being added. |
| 1518s | So there's a lot of cool stuff that whenever you're playing, you're like |
| 1520s | "Oh, I wonder how that would work with that". |
| 1522s | So I can take it then that you're relatively excited for the MultiVersus release? |
| 1527s | Oh, of course, oh my gosh. Counting the days. Counting the days to the next open beta. |
| 1532s | Brokkr, thank you so much for your time today. |
| 1535s | Super great to have you and even better to watch you play. |
| 1538s | Really enjoyed it. |
| 1539s | Appreciate it. Good talking, thank you for having me again. |
| 1545s | Next up, we have ApologyMan, who played Tom and Jerry inside of that last set. |
| 1550s | How are you doing today ApologyMan? |
| 1552s | I'm doing good. I'm doing good. I'm having a lot of fun playing this game. |
| 1556s | Tom and Jerry easily my favorite character. But yeah, I'm doing great. All is good. |
| 1560s | Now, I know you played the dynamic duo, Tom and Jerry, inside of these sets. |
| 1565s | Now, why did you choose Tom and Jerry? |
| 1568s | I mean, I always like characters that have a ton of different - |
| 1572s | Just depth in general. They have so many different set ups and like so many different projectile, |
| 1579s | like zoning patterns that you can do. |
| 1582s | You can throw Jerry over there and make the rocket go to him |
| 1586s | and you could throw the dynamite at them. |
| 1588s | There's all this fun stuff you can do and I feel like I barely scratched the surface with the characters. |
| 1592s | So he's definitely my favorite character of like the cast that i've played so far. |
| 1596s | How do you like the 2v2 team dynamic inside of MultiVersus? |
| 1600s | So, it was definitely weird at first to get used to. |
| 1602s | I'm mostly a fighting game player, so its 1v1, right? |
| 1605s | So, I definitely had - there was some growing pains with it, but a cool thing about it is like |
| 1611s | it's really easy to learn the game with a friend as well. |
| 1616s | There's times where I'm like "Oh man, I don't know what I'm doing wrong" |
| 1619s | and in a fighting game, you're just kinda like "Well I guess I'll review the VOD" |
| 1623s | or "I'll think about something", right? |
| 1625s | But your teammate can be like "Bro, you're just doing this" and I think that's cool. |
| 1629s | I think that helped my improvement a lot for the game when I played it before. |
| 1632s | So I like it. The game is clearly designed for the doubles, the team game format. |
| 1640s | How excited are you to further experiment with different characters and team compositions? |
| 1645s | I'm definitely interested in finding more team compositions. For sure. |
| 1648s | I think that draws me the most. Finding the right perks and finding the right ways to counteract. |
| 1655s | Because all the characters in this game are so crazy. |
| 1658s | I think playing, it's pretty simple to pick up the game and play the characters, |
| 1662s | but all the characters' abilities are insane. |
| 1665s | There's so many things you can do with them and how they interact with each other is really interesting. |
| 1670s | I don't know, for me, once again, I'm such a character driven dude. |
| 1673s | If I find my character, I'm set and I love Tom and Jerry. |
| 1677s | So I'm going to be excited for the full release of the game. |
| 1681s | Well ApologyMan, thank you so much for your time and congratulations on your win. |
| 1685s | And I'm so happy that you were able to be here for our interview. You have a great rest of your day. |
| 1690s | You too. Thanks for having me. |
| 1694s | And that concludes our second presentation of the MultiVersus Pro Player Showcase. |
| 1699s | Thank you so much for watching. |
| 1701s | Remember, the open beta is coming this July. |
| 1704s | Stay tuned and see you later. |
