The Problem with Steven Universe In Multiversus
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- Today I wanted to make a short analysis of the character, Steven Universe, which is often misunderstood by much of the Multiversus community.
Many players see a lot of potential in Steven Universe but fail to realize the struggles and weaknesses of the character.
This has kept him in a TOUGH spot when it comes to statistics as his win and pick rate were consistently the lowest in the game throughout much of the Multiversus Beta.
I hope this video can help shed some light on why he may be more uncommon than you think.

This is 50% a joke and 50% serious. I kinda want steven to be able to summon multiple watermelon stevens it would make one of the funniest moves in the game ever funnier.
Sounds like your not joking. Wouldn't be funny either.
As one of the very few Steven mains, this would be so funny actually.
Like the more you summon the less you heal.
I mean the watermelons are not exactly that strong in the first place
Yeah and in the show there was awhole island of them so this would make more sense lol
@@CrystalMang0bet your a real funny person
One thing I love doing as a steven main is actually saving my teammate from any of superman's grabs with shield which, surprisingly works well
that and shield wall combos
those are funny as hell
I meant to put a funny clip on where my teammate did that for me one time but I forgot. It's definitely funny when it happens but it is sad that Supermans initial grab breaks the armor so you gotta me kinda specific with timing.
@@RPS_FGC Yeah you gotta be super on the ball with it but I honestly that alone is what got me into the character at times
I play steven just to throw games tbh in hopes that one day I singlehandedly bring his win rate so low that they have to buff him
This was funny
Doin gods work
so funny they gave him a move called "steven bomb"
How about you wait ten years for five episodes?
@@Videospiel-Man5730what does this mean
@@ratman6754When Steven Universe was still getting new episodes they'd do this thing where they'd make 5 episodes and drop them all in one week, one new one a day.
@@TheOnlyCelciAndDontYouForgetIt what does that have to do with Steven’s “Steven bomb” move 💀
@@ratman6754 The episodes dropping was called a "Steven Bomb" by the team behind the show, so the move is referencing that
I like how Steven's gameplay reflect him in the show, being better as a support in a group and being more on defensive side
The thumbnail made me go "oh gods not another 'Steven Universe is Garbage and Here's Why'". Much happier with this being about MultiVersus lol
The show isnt even bad. If I had a complaint it would be the fact the ending was rushed. The gem world should of been a build up arc and the arc after should of been the confrontation of the diamonds.
Yeah you can tell I watch too much one piece...
@itzYonko fr. My main complaint about the show is that there's not more of the show lmao.
@@itzYonko ong people are just nitpicking most of the time
@@itzYonko Thats what they wanted to do. BUt the execs wanted to cancel the show after the Garnet wedding. SO they had to just rush the final arc to make sure the story finished properly
I remember watching that video with 0 context for what the show was. They sounded like the Show personally assaulted their family or something.
Two words why i play Steven: Air Mobility. Steven's float ability, projectile platform, shield, and Up Special makes him the floatiest character in the game who specializes in top of the screen ring outs. You can pretty much get back on stage from anywhere on screen.
why is this like so high quality and yet so not widespread?
The fact that you can make high quality videos and yet no one watches them baffles me
We're getting there one day bro.
Started a couple weeks ago but I got a lot more in store!
well darn
I'll help where I can man.
The video was super entertaining, and actually made me play multiversus again, even if it was only for an hour or so xD
I mean, 3K views on his second video is pretty fast growth
1, new channel.
2, Its Multiversus.
3, It Steven Multiversus.
Are channels just supposed to get 100k subs within a month cause I see these comments tons.
@bennie1079 legit i was shocked when i found out he only has 2 videos. These videos are so good they definitely struck me as an above 10K sub channel
Why did they nerf Watermelon?
I never understood that.
I wish I knew bro. It always blew my mind that Steven, the healing, defensive support, known in his show for specifically being the only person who can heal, has the worst heals out of anyone in the game with a heal.
I was one of the highest steven mains out there ( my highest was top 1000! ), so i can really atest to alot of this.
One of steven's strongest moves imo is his Shield bash Upward. insanely fun kill option and surprisingly one of the easiest to land. Very versatile when paired with Shield shot Horizontal!
While it's used mostly to come back up from a fall, you can actually hold the button down of the shield bash (upward) and you will float down waaaaay better than the built in glide that he has, due to the amount of air control he gets. Its odd but it's really good use if an opponent knocks you hella far. Hell, It can literally save you from surefire Ring outs.
One of the safest options Steven has is his Surf Shield ability, due to the hit box on that thing being so damn tall and it can linger for soooo long. Not to mention when landing that very move on someone's head, it makes steven fly back up in the air and do a new crazy spike move! (think sonic's spike move from any smash game.)
It's a very good poking tool for most characters. (i cant remember if its immune to grabs though......... superman players were a bane of my existence.)
I play my steven probably different from alot of people, i play him very rushdown-like, i often don't give my opponets too much room unless im quite forced to; Shaggy and his projectiles and Armor, Superman's grabs, etc, etc.
Watermelon steven comes into clutch 50% of the time in 1v1's, but using him in 2v2's feels so pointless.
Believe it or not, i struggled quite abit with steven's shield! i thought 3 charges was a little too hard to get around. i often more times than not ended up using shield when i could've simply used any one of my other offensive shield options.
ALSO, His Forward Arial is VERY good. If you know how to drag some moves, you can drag steven's forward arial down, and it creates a pretty good protected lingering hitbox as well, 8/10 they would need to be above or behind me to not get hit by it.
I have more steven tid bits, but that covers most of what i would say his strong suits also lies in. But very nice video to see of him!
Glad to see more in depth discussion on his moves in the comments!
I didn't want to lose the focus of the video in my script so I tried to keep my points concise so I couldn't cover his full moveset as much as I liked so it's nice to see that people can get more information if they're curious from the comments.
I remember it was an in-joke in a community i was in that Steven was listed as a horizontal-killing character, but almost every kill he got was with upward Shield Bash.
Halfway into this video and honestly I find it REALLY interesting how Steven seems like an excellent support character for 2v2 but struggles in singles. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fighting game character work like that
I mean accurate to the character I guess?
There's a few characters like that in brawlhalla, the game's kinda going through a 2v2 vs 1v1 debate right now because a lot of characters that are weak in ones, had to be nerfed because in 2s their weaknesses are non-existent, but that in turn, makes em even weaker in ones
this guy is COOKING!!! Ik for sure this isnt your first channel but I havent touched multiversus ever since it got taken off steam, let alone content on the game, you reeled me in and i watched the entire time, W VIDEO MY MAN KEEP IT COMING (and if this is genuinely your first channel you scare me.)
I had a channel from a few years ago where I uploaded two.... Lesser quality Captain Falcon combo videos to put it nicely lmao
Aside from that though, this is my first real attempt at RUclips stuff! I'm excited to keep working on it though and I have already made a TON of improvements on the next video I'm working on.
Glad you like what you see!
I mained Steven in the beta even though I was kinda garbage with him. His shield mechanics are just so fun and creative and it’s hilarious seeing people bounce all over the place. It seems he definitely got buffed in the full release because I now consistently destroy people. Sad they got rid of the bubble collider but oh well
The worst thing for me was them getting rid of his infinite and in turn breaking his nair to where it just didn’t work which they didn’t fix for multiple games while letting bugs and Harley keep their infinites
I honestly almost forgot about that. I remember that they made a whole statement about working towards removing infinites when they did that but they never touched Bugs or Harleys.
They did remove an IG infinite though so that's something at least
"Multiple games" 😂
I love Steven Universe, my wife and I even played an episode at our wedding… so I was bummed he felt so weak… when I play him the things that feel like you can actually knock people out with are just too stationary, and too slow usually leaving you open to getting interrupted… wish he was either a touch faster or could eat some hits to not get interrupted so easily… the watermelon guy would be cooler if he shadowed you doubling all your strikes and mirroring your attacks but a second delayed
As a fan of the show I tried playing Steven and Garnet without really liking either one lol. This video has definitely shed a light on why, at least for Steven's part.
I'd be intrigued to see your take on Batman as he was my main. It's been a while (I stopped playing after Gizmo came out and even before then I played casually) but I vividly remember Batman's core direction as a character seemingly changed every patch. Sometimes his kit would revolve around Batarang, then it'd be Grappling Hook, then it'd be Up Special...
Maybe the video could be about the most patched characters, or the most inconsistent character identities? Something like that.
You know, I really like this idea actually! There's quite a few characters who's identity would change a lot from patch to patch.
I actually started out as a Shaggy main but then swapped to Batman because I felt like they were buffing his risky options and taking away his ability to deal with other options so the jack-of-all-trades slowly became a dedicated pub stomper.
I'll definitely put this one on the list!!
Dude you are like the only person I've seen who genuinely called out Superman in a video not even about him, and for that I IMMEDIATELY subscribed XD
I really enjoyed this video! I hope you keep making vids like this on MVS because we really need this type of content for MVS. I was maining Steven for a while but always felt he was both too good and too bad in the beta, some of his moves (like the down special) just being... bad or his good moves being like janky. I'm hoping they polished him up and feel excited to try him in the release!
Really enjoyed this video and your shorts! Always wanted to see more competitive analysis of Multiversus and I can't wait to see more from you in the future!
My guy your both of your videos and your shorts are so well done! One of the best content creators I have seen for this game, very excited to see what more you do when the full game launches, you have crazy potential
Great video! I discovered Stevens potential and mained him near the end of the open betas life. He is great fun.
Cant wait to get back to making multiversus videos. Had so much fun with the game
This is a great video! I don’t even main Steven but I kept watching. Keep going :)
Would love to see this series tackle other characters in the roster! Black Adam? 👀
I think Black Adam is SUPER fun! I got a good list of characters I'd love to do a deep dive into.
A lot of the Multiversus cast is really unique with a lot to talk about imo
Such a great video! Really hoping they buff my boy Steven in the official release.
As a top #3 steven this was a great vid i do aggree with a lot of your takes steven was broken and terrible at the same time some how 💀. But i like that he was bad bc IMO i like using bad Character i feel like they take more skill to use and im a fan of the show so checks out i cant wait for more of you content on MVS keep grinding. #Multiversus
I think steven has a insanely high skill ceiling would be interested to hear your takes on characters like Finn and TnJ
This was a wonderful video! You honestly brought up weaknesses I forgot/didn’t think of because the community was so afraid of Steven being good they convinced themselves he was this god amongst men. Very clear and concise and I hope to see you around when the game comes out!
actually a funny and interesting video. keep it up!
Nice video! back when the game was out I was number 2 steven on the 1v1 leaderboard. a few things coming from my perspective, down tilt although is slow like you said it has a lot more range than youd expect, and since you can combo out of it, it is something to deal with armor if spaced correctly and can lead into a devastating steven blender. and down special should be better yes but but watermelon is so underrated, green thumb perk is my go to (bounce bubble perk lesses the stun from bouncing off his shields) and watermelon steven can become a bit of a menace. his attack is active and does 14 and kills when he is fully grown and he increases in weight. if you are able to play with the melon well in can be a bit of a surprise for the opponent, more so in 1s although. if you have any questions i am open to answering them :)
hey i main as steven too when the game releases would you be down to play some rounds together it can be 2v2 or 1v1 im trying to get better with him during the beta i got to level 30 with him
@santanavigil1805 well, there is a parsec server people still play this game on. If you'd like I'll send you a link to the server if you send me a private message. Through there I'll be willing to do some games with ya.
@@saniK6947 how can i get in contact sorry for the late response but im down to do that
Your thumbnail is crossing a dangerous place, the Steven Universe fanbase is full of videos shitting on the show for no reason and I think everyone is tired of it. I would suggest making it more clear that it is as a character in Multiversus because you're probably losing a few people.
Aside from that great video, I didn't get the chance to play Multiversus as a beta because of hardware limitations but I'm super hyped to finally play it and the small RUclips community that makes these non gameplay focused videos is really fun
Really great video i would love to see a video about arya in this type everyone was really mad at arya at some point and alot of my friends even quit the game or start to play arya to ... I would like to see the reason for that
How does this guy not have 1,000,000 subs
Haven’t played the closed alpha or open beta, but Steven’s the character I wanted (and still want) to main! 😭
Guess when you crank the diamond precentage to half you also crank the shittyness level.
In the beta, my buddy was a Steven main. Steven+bugs was dangerous.
What are your thoughts on the quality of the gameplay in 1v1 and does it have the same quality as 2v2? I would like to hear other people's opinions on the matter
I'll probably make a full video on it when the full game is out since, I think that the current gameplay will be much different buuuut
With the build we have right now, I personally think 2's works much better as a format as players are rewarded more for things like positional and general game plans more than mind games and reads. It's just really difficult to actually lock down and hit people with how fast they move and how little whiff lag they have, even if you have a read on them. I do acknowledge that 1's is always going to be more accessible though since anyone can just boot up and play without needing to find a 2'd partner that's available.
I wanna reiterate though that from the gameplay changes we've seen, I think the game will be MUCH better for both 1's and 2's and I likely will make a full video on that after the game drops
Imma need a video on lebron in this game. He was so fun.
I like playing steven to set up walls and floors to build my own little fortress so that when people enter it i have practice with this new stage hazard
As someone who got ranked top 100 with Steven in 1’s when the game came out (or when it first was open for public testing i guess), shield surf was literally 90% of what I did with Steven because it just felt so damn satisfying to bounce off people into combos
Hello, Steven main who spent way too much time in the lab here (helped light whisp lab a 1 frame forward air cancel that led to dash jump down special spike from mid stage). Bubbling your opponent actually led to a guaranteed kill, you just had to look at the in game clock, and then set up another Steven bomb at the right second, and then jump up to the person in the bubble as it had a set timer where it would expire, and then ups special to bring them high enough to die. So bubble was much better than most thought.
I remember hearing about this! I remembered that you could time options to hit exactly when the shine of the bubble got to a specific point. It definitely had a lot of unexplored potential.
@@RPS_FGC I found the shine harder to be consistent with so I just used the in game timer, but yes that worked as well. Steven’s fucking weird
Very underrated video
holy shit I suck I'm a wonder Woman main and had no idea I can hold the shield out and move around until I saw that clip.
8:39 I'm kinda curious, where is marvin on this tier list
So I just kinda threw this list together really quickly to use it as a prop for this video, but my last video before the game officially drops will most likely be something like "The Final Multiversus Beta Tier List" so be sure to stay tuned and subscribe if you haven't already!
I think it'll be fun to use as a base of discussion and look back at and compare the differences once the game officially launches.
I would love buffs to the watermelon clones because they dont do much but are super fun to sue
They should give him the ability to throw his shield and watch it bounce around where it can hit anyone even your own teammates but after it get reflected/ blocked 3 times it disappears
Sup’s is CRAZY lmaooo I love his moveset 😂
when playing the beta i felt like steven was the most broken character in the game due to all of his abilities for 2s. In 1v1 he struggles with no fast buttons to mash / ways to break armor. i would love a rework of his down special to make him able to camp a bit more because, shielding is it's thing but you dont win a game by shielding. In 2s i think he is broken with super good juggle, combos and kill power, the ability to help allies by the press of a button + heals + shields to camp for cooldowns + the steven bomb being one the best tools to isolate opponents and run them down
I was a Steven Main for 1v1 it was so much fun
The thumbnail looks like Steven universe got canceled lmao, great video
i hope they bring back his old voice actor
i saw the thumbnail and started getting tumblr steven universe discourse flashbacks
As one of the 5 Steven mains left I will say every point in this video is valid, I just do it to bounce people off the shield for the funny
a change i would love if they change his ult to become, pink steven they can make him faster while also giving him higher knock back and priority and increased ability regen for team the trade off can be he takes more damage
I didn't even know Multiversus characters HAD ults
@@dragonic22 I'm talking about the passive my b
Yooo 1 of 5 Steven Mains!
I will never escape that meme
I went from a top 50,000 steven main to a top 1,000 shaggy main in the beta, I was literally number 2 steven main at one point in solos
when i think about steven in a fighting game i think about how he's a passivist who hates fighting and suffers ptsd in his sequel from all the time he was forced to fight for his life i think a better and honestly funny buff for Steven is to make a new character as his adult pink form when he try's taking care of his ptsd in a very unhealthy way of training and fighting till he accidently killed someone
Can you do a full video on the gremlins, they were so fun to play, i also feel like everyone forgets the evolved gremlin was in the game cause how bad the game fell off😭
I will probably talk about Stripe at some point for sure.
Like you said, he was a menace but he dropped around the time popularity for the game was waning so there wasn't nearly enough discussion on just how crazy he was.
10:00 As someone who co-mains Steven and WW, can confirm all of this lol.
Fr though, he's fun as hell, his combo game is silly.
how do you do the combo at 5:06? I can't make it connect
I wish I could tell ya bro. I had to get my 2's partner the Steven main to step in for this one.
I like steven because of the little minion he summons. I root for that little guy every time I summon him. Though I'm not really a steven main I don't think.
They shouldve left iron giant broken specifically for little ol' me
This is such a great video I just wanna say tho the transitions between each segment are kinda underwhelming and clunky
Always appreciate the feedback! I'll be sure to try to make a smoother adjustment in the next video
As one of the 5 Steven mains I just love his down air… 😈
How are you already playing Multiversus? I thought it was removed!
It was removed from a stores and the servers went down, but if you already had the game in your library, you could re-dowload it and play it locally still so that's how I'm getting the footage at least.
The game does drop with it's full release on May 28th though with improved online, improved graphics and new gameplay mechanics!
I really thought this was a series retrospective.
Steven is bad? shittt no one told me i was clappin cheeks with him most of the beta 😂😂
I can just imagine what you'd do if he ever gets buffed
I Swear someone on the Dev team just hates Steven cause just how he's handled and his lines like this character feels like there mocking the show
Very well.
will we get one for garnet too :o ?
Garnet is a really interesting character from much of the beta and has an interesting patch history as well!
However, after looking over some of the system changes from the gameplay we've seen, I really wanna eventually make a video about the biggest winners and losers with the system changes and I think a BIG part of the winners is going to be about Garnet so we shall see once the game releases!
If not, I probably will still make a video on Garnet regardless! Very cool character.
Instead of the Steven Universe characters, Gumball or Regular Show characters could be included.
Although Dexter and the Powerpuff Girls are fortunately already confirmed by the two new confirmed stages.
Hi I'm one of those 5 steven Mains and I can confirm
great video! now make a video on why finn is f tier
You know, while I don't think he's F Tier, I do think he's overrated and not great on 2's.
Who knows? I may even have something in the works talking about overated characters and another about characters who are good in 1's but not good in 2's...
as a finn player, i do think Finn is better in 1v1 but i still think Finn was a strong 2s pick, not as strong as velma or Superman in their prime but finns Gem being able to just cover so much space without u being their and his grounded side b breaking projectiles and being able to be canceled made him really strong
Friendly reminder that the 2v2 mode is the main one.
It would make more sense to have Steven be stronger or faster while the Water Melon guy is out; this way you're forced to get rid of the Melon Boy or let Steven be knocking heads around.
I actually really like Steven he’s the only one that really feels like a Smash character. And he has a goddamn shield!!!!
Missed the perfect opportunity for clickbait
1:27 This is comedy
steven main here 🤙🏾
It's in Beta? Wasn't the game out already?
Nah, the game was just in open beta before. It's full release comes out later this month on May 28th!
@@RPS_FGC got it, thanks!
Bro I am one of the 5 Steven mains and he’s really not THAT bad. People just don’t know what they’re doing.
0:30 mahoraga ahh positivity
I used to main steven and batley lost against anyone except the superman and shaggy spanmers
He was my main he's extremely good
A skilled Steven can beat any Superman
When Roy gets out in this game, we're cooked.
Bro I used to main Steven universe
W video
I was one of the five Steven mains lmao
I thought this games servers got shut down
They did, but they're coming back on May 28th with it's full release!
wow, great video!!! 🔥🔥🔥
for the beta i main Steven the dog
I MAINED THIS DUDE HE WAS SO BUSTED
Unrelated where is Ben 10
I was a top 400 1v1 Steven and god did I hate Superman it was so much pain
please make a video on velma pls thanks
finally, a mutual superman D1 hater
LightWhisp was my college roommate during the beta, this guy would practice for like 6 hours a day in our colleges floor lounge and I always asked him why they wouldn’t just nerf Steven because he’s so busted. His response was always along the lines of ‘find a tournament winning steven player that’s not me and I’ll write the letter myself’ 💀 I apologize lightwhisp I was unfamiliar with your game
Im a steven main. I never win. lol!
im a steven main and in all honesty i think he's fine as is the only thing that needs to be looked at is the water melon cause it's really useless
Watermelon imo is definitely the biggest offender in this video, big agree.
Superman got nerfed hard dont worry 😂
Is player first games a fucking joke? You can't just ignore a character because this is like saying if Nintendo didnt buff Little Mac in super smash bros ulitmate also this is just like when nether realm nerfed sub zero in mk1 when sub zero was considered to be 2nd worst or the worst character
