Can someone explain to me why Breaking Bad memes are so huge rn? I know Better Call Saul is on its final season rn, I'm watching it, it's great, but it's also not the kind of thing you'd think *children* would enjoy. Tbh even as an adult it's a little slow for me at times. On the other hand, Breaking Bad ended nearly 10 years ago now. It's one of the greatest shows of all time for sure, but even at the height of its popularity the memes weren't nearly as prominent. You'd just see a few "You're goddamn right" or "He can't keep getting away with it" memes here and there, or maybe a gif of Walt from Ozymandias every now and then. Why now? What sparked this huge upsurge? People who haven't even seen either show are making these memes
@@joedorben3504 snowball effect, the memes keep getting recommended to a lot of people and the YT algorithm favors them rn. plus BCS final season means a lot of people are rewatching BB as well. and part of what you said is because meme culture is significantly bigger than it was in 2008-2013 when it originally aired
whos telling this to you guys? did Warners bought Netflix? edit: Netflix doesn’t own Breaking Bad but if Warner owned Netflix i imagine getting that character would be way easier
I love how the last quarter of the video is used to talk about how the game is free. Really drives home the dunkey ideology that having a platform fighter is a human right
@UnfaithfulEvil 🅥 your content is dogshit? How do I know? 1, you compare yourself to bigger success. 2, you keep spaming your shitty comments here. Stop.
It’s the first “knock-off smash brothers” type game Edit: to all of you geniuses replying that don’t get it, it’s a long running joke in dunkeys fandom to compare things to death stranding aka “the first strand-type game” watch some more videos before commenting on things you don’t understand
I did not enjoy the last season as much as the rest but I would not say it was bad. I don't mind that Arya killed the Night King but the only thing that is to criticize imo is that the Night King died to early. It felt like he was no threat and is like every other of those white walker things.
The most fun I've had with a "Smash-like" was playing Duck Game - it captures the sheer chaos that makes these games fun. I have never laughed so hard while trying to KO someone.
The incohesive roster is the best part. Literally everyone begs for Goku to fight Superman or some other shit in Smash so Multiversus does the closest resemblance to that that we can get.
loving multiversus so far. Its great to have a smash clone on PC that not only has crossplay between 3 major platforms but also online matches that are actually pretty damn smooth for the most part
@eyow foou “might have over Nintendo” bro they already have like 3 things at the least over smash. Nintendo should go back to prostitution like in the 50s.
@@philorgneopolotin8762 it’s not as clearly defined as that, he still gives genuine opinions in non dunkview videos. His overall take on this game was made pretty clear in this one.
dude i spit pizza out onto my screen when you said yodas activity center how do you keep it so fresh after so many videos youre the golden king of video game comedy
the target audience isn't for kids though, is it? I mean, all the characters are for older people. Steven Universe and Adventure Time were more beloved by teens than kids when they were airing, and in both cases, the watchers grew up with them. Most fans of both series are in their mid-early 20's by now....similar to GOT fans actually. Dunkey hasn't seen the shows, so it makes sense that he would assume that the colorful animation means that they're kids shows....but there's some intense not kid-friendly crap that happens in both. And if I show characters like Kirby and Bob-omb to non video game people, they'd never guess that the fanbase for those games are old enough to be GOT fans too. Dunkey loves kirby/mario, and for good reason--and other people his age love Steven Universe/Adventure Time for equally good reason. So yeah, all points aside, isn't' Multiversus pretty much exclusively geared towards late teens/young adults? (appropriate for younger, but geared for older)
I actually really like the incohesive roster, it feels so ridiculous. The voice acting for every character is really good too. It's a game I play and actually laugh a lot while playing. Definitely not perfect but I'm excited for the roster to grow and become even more of a fuckfest.
@@austink2598 Fuck that, I want my game to have personality and a theme. There's no artistic cohesion in a game with such a disperate roster that you can't even classify them under one super conglomerate of rights holders. You might as well play MUGEN. Go play Rivals Workshop if you want a wacky roster that bad.
You said that the roster feels like random toys you had as kid and thats actually what i like. Got some old stuff from peers and new shit that i got by screaming at the toy store
I knew this game was gonna be gone fast but coming back to this 7 months later and I’ve completely forgotten about this game. It’s fun to see I was right and the game died in around only 3 months 😭
Dunkey is pointing out the things he liked and didn't about the game. Obviously there's pros and cons in his mind, both of which he goes over in a fair amount of detail. Does he need to slap an IGN 7/10 on it for you to get anything out of this review?
@@ibrahimalee23 I get that. I still don't see how you pick up an official WB platform fighter with hundreds if not thousands of IPs and expect cohesion. And with a little something for everyone and more inbound, I certainly don't see that aspect as a downside. Just about every other criticism here is fair and warranted, but stating "This is like a roster of the toys I had when I was a kid" as a downside comes off as a real "No fun allowed".
@@dontaericeart yea, its weird considering basically the same criticism is true of smash? like they're all video game characters, sure, and they're mostly kid oriented, but characters like snake and bayo are clearly very different. the only reason smash feels cohesive is because were so used to it
Yeah, i love Dunkey, but sometimes he complains about totally stupid stuff. The roster of Multiversus is amazing exactly because of the insane crossovers, nobody would ever imagine a game where Arya fights Bugs Bunny lmao.
It's much more well put together as a fighting game, but has a lot of crust around the edges that make it harder for the average person to pick up on top of having an unfairly high cost of entry.
Nick is slept on. It’s tighter and you can actually play 1v1. I don’t see any copy paste moves or anything in nick, but the only “flaw” is the initial cost for the game. Paying for the game up front is and ideally should be the standard. I don’t want micro transactions in actual games (not iOS or android)
@@synthesiatutorials3081 i dont think nock is slept on its just ass. Music was ass. Stages ass. No voice lines ass. Games are much more tgan gameplay and tgats why it sucked
@@synthesiatutorials3081 It's slept on to the point of not having enough of an active playerbase to get into games. when you lose almost all of the large starting playerbase almost immediately something is wrong with the game
Goofin aside I think the main thing Multiversus might have over Smash is that anything that's wrong with the game currently actually has a chance of being fixed
this is FAAAR better than nickelodeon all star brawl. to launch a game at $50, when it's supposed to tout it's unique characters and IP, then not having any voice actors in the game until a year after launch is a huge oversight. NASB felt completely soulless compared to Multiversus
NASB had 0 budget and the devs did what they could with the bare minimum they were given. They have added in voice-acting in the current state. MVS just has a company willing to throw tons of money around to make their game succeeds, with tournaments getting massive financial support.
@@eu4um releasing a $50 game with a 17 fighter roster then charging for additional fighters as well is going to kill your game. blame nickelodeon for not giving ludosity a bigger budget. WB giving playerfirstgames a bigger budget doesn’t diminish their work or effort, WB just gave them a better opportunity to succeed. nickelodeon should’ve done the same instead of half-assing the budget and expecting broad appeal and success.
Shame that Nickelodeon had wavedashing and stuff, and all that stuff is absent from Multiversus Like it's clear one game cared about the gameplay and the other didn't
We need Elmer Fudd in this game. along with the Animaniacs, Neo from the matrix, Beetlejuice, Ace Ventura, The Joker, Dexter, Gumball, Mordecai, and Rigby. We also need Ed, Edd, and Eddy, Daffy Duck, Fred Flintstone, Jay Gatsby, Plank, Samurai Jack, Micheal Jordan, (because they already have Lebron so why not) The Atom, Willy Wonka, and Zorro. and this is just stuff warner bros owns directly
1:41 "Do children even know what Looney Tunes is anymore?" That sentence alone is enough to make me weep for this and future generations missing out on the golden age of kids animation. 70's - mid 00's.
same tbh this game is easier for me to play and i have more fun because i have a chance of winning whereas smash i get so unbelievably wrecked every game its just not fun no matter how much i practice😂
@@frostedmocha the opposite for me, i find Smash easier to play and win than this game, it's weird i see my moves connect but the enemy doesnt take the move, the character flicks in the screen, Batman is wonky and buggy etc
Thats where the problem is for me, when I play this game the matches seem somewhat even but only because neither player can comprehend what they are doing and cant hit half their moves. Compared to smash where i can actually formulate combos that I plan out rather than throwing out 30 abilities at once and hoping they connect
I didn't really expect to like this game so much, and I agree with a lot of the talking points in this video. But the fact that these characters are so in-depth and fully realized as their own characters is really incredible. They interact with each other when they get killed, they have custom voice lines for specific teammates and enemies, even the in-game text is in-line with what the characters might actually say. It's like the characters really just jumped out of their respective properties and just continued being themselves, which is really cool to me. Overall, I think if you're interested in this game, and you're between the ages of 7 yrs old to 70, you should definitely give it a try. And like dunkey said, it's FREE.
I'd say its great if you look at it as it's own thing, and it's just okay if you're specifically comparing it to Smash (aside from the wifi connection and price point aspects). It definitely has potential to get even better though.
What’s funny is I completely disagree with his assessment and still found this to be an extremely enjoyable video to watch. I enjoy this game far more than the Nickelodeon game, which to me feels really bland. Also the roster comparison isn’t exactly fair since smash lets you play as a naked hair witch with guns and beat up a gorilla and a 2d video game character that no one under 50 had heard of before they were added (Mr. Game and Watch).
Yes, but those are still connected by a theme and role. They're major characters of popular video games, which Smash is a celebration of. Multiversus characters are picked because Warner Bros thought "Eh, just put whatever we own that's vaguely popular in there"
hey i played the nickelodeon game on ps plus and it was really awesome and the gameplay was way better than multiversus. but i kinda prefer multiversus even when the hitboxes are garbadge. for example neutral down attack with bugs bunny has such a low range that its completly useless
The roster might be crazy incoherence, but at least they had the good sense to make them visually consistent. Compare to Playstation All Stars, where you had cartoony Parappa versus grim dark Infamous dude. I honestly think this is one of the top Smash a likes I've played thus far. Jump Ultimate Stars and Rivals of Aether still better, but it might get better.
its definitely going to get better. more content is coming in season 1 and the devs are always making improvements like fixing hitboxes. remember this is still in the beta
I actually like All Stars a lot more for that reason. It's a game where characters from different universes fight, they shouldn't all have the same art style. They should look how they looked in their universe, rather than all meld together into a weird cartoon.
Coming from someone who lives in the third world country known as Australia. It's nice having a smash type game to play that doesn't need me to sub to the worst online service available, ensuring every game will be a teleporting, rubber banding mess. Thanks for that Nintendo, very cool
I've put over 1000 hours into Smash Ultimate, many of them playing online with random and friends. I'd say roughly 1-2% of my games have any lag or rubberbanding whatsoever. That really sounds like a problem on your end.
@@343Films nah nintendo servers r trash and lag all the time for me too. I play via ethernet and when I did a speed test, the switch has a connection speed that is one tenth of the speed I get on my ps4/ps5.
Coming from someone who lives in the autocratic america known as china. We have fucking vpns made specially for game consoles so that you can play online games with people from all around the world with nearly no lag or latency.
I've been having a blast in this game with friends. I really like the focus being on 2v2 matches so we have to actually communicate with what we're doing.
That's always the crux of my Multiversus recommendation. Play it with friends and it's fun. The rollback is really good and its F2P model proves that this can actually work for fighting games
@@dyldragon1 i want multiversus to really lean into multiplayer. gimme a 5v5 rumble with a slightly bigger map. i want hectic yelling and frantic button mashing.
They definitely do- at least on levels of marketing and products like how most children know who Hello Kitty is. Might not have watched an episode but if they've been to Six Flags or walked down a Target t-shirt aisle they'll at least be familiar with them.
Bugs is in the beginning of almost every Warner Bros. movie. He's not a fucking character lost to time, same with guys like Daffy and Porky. Looney Tunes isn't a lost art, lol
"you can have solid snake vs banjo kazooie" "you can have Game of Thrones vs Stephen Universe, who is their audience?" Notice the only difference between these two is that when Nintendo does it, it's okay, this is a slight reference to how Dunkey is Nintendo's number one meat rider
I'd say this is far better than All Stars, and it's free, so that's pretty much a win-win. It focuses heavily on the 2v2 aspect and excels a lot at it because character combos have various different synergies you can play off of. This is helped by how unique every character's move set is. In All Stars, most of the characters reuse a lot of the exact same moves and animations, makes the whole thing feel very bland
Did you say that because you just wanted talk it done without actually playing it or did you say it in context that you mean it. did you know the devs of both games are friends. so its possible, that some characters will cross over between games
@@vinkennest3274 Well I've played both and can double down on what he's said. What turned me off from NASB is just how similar the characters feel and play. Not to mention the presentation is a lot more clean.
It’s not that they reused animations, it’s that they’re like 3 frames long because they don’t care if it looks like garbage as long as the characters have good frame data
Those are all good points that I agree with, but multiversus has a functional online, which puts it above smash by default since you can actually play this game
@@arglebargle5531 I mean. You are comparing a 60 dollar game with over 20 years of experience only playable in a single console and limited with terrible online servers versus a F2P game made by a studio with any previous videogame behind his back but with actual good online. If you want yo compare MVS with something, compare it with Brawlhalla.
Smash online works most of the time. But when it doesn't work it becomes like you're trying to record a stop motion video. Multiverse is just had some weird ass rubber banding, at least the match still ends quickly instead of taking all day. But the thing about Smash Brothers is it's meant to be played locally. If your friends haven't become so afraid of your power, they don't even want to fight you anymore.
@@JesusHerrera-rl2rx Funny enough, it does basically everything that Brawlhalla does right, but also has an actual budget. The aforementioned functional netcode, good roster, despite some questionable choices, gameplay's fun enough even with its weird jank and balance, F2P with all of the gameplay-relevant stuff eventually accessible without spending money.
So as a joke I said to myself, "They should add in Mr. Six from the old Six Flags commercials" Then I realized that's not a joke, he's actually in the WB family, they could probably get that IP pretty easy
A closer look could be if Dunkey is saying that Multiversus may suffer a significant drop in the playerbase over time, if WB keep a competitive focus rather than something that can be enjoyable for casuals. Buggs “git guds” Superman while he flying out, is an analogy of casuals quitting the game when they feel they aren’t skilled enough.
Dunkey. I’ve been a loyal fan for years. I was around back when Phantom Menace was being written on the cavemen walls. All your videos are mastapieces, though, something in my soul feels empty. Let’s rewind to, Star Wars: Attack of the Dentist. One of your all time best videos. This sole video has gotten me through the hardest of times. Whenever I feel like I can’t do something, I pop on this video once in a while and boom I feel like Jackie Chan. It was incredible. Better yet, you launched a sequel, Star War 2: Phantom Crentist, which turned out to be another mastapiece. The duo felt unstoppable. Surely we couldn’t wait for the third… It’s been 8 years. I’m now a grown man currently playing the new Lego Star Wars (awaiting your review on this). I’ve given up hope for Tar War 3: Revenge of the Mentist. It’s gone into the dark abyss of forgotten sequels such as Half Life 3, Battlefront 3, and Balder’s Gate: Dark Alliance 3. Your Lego Star Wars videos are some of the finest cuts of meat on RUclips, if Lego Wars 3 shows up in the future, I will be satisfied with the grand conclusion
Bugs Bunny routinely deals with people throwing guns and swords in his face. Steven Universe dealt with the emotionally disturbed members of a planet wrecking space empire. Arya's more likely to be corrupted by them than the other way around
My favorite part of Multiversus is definitely when Bugs Bunny calls Superman a “dumbass bitch” when he wins, causing Superman to fly away in embarrassment

It is but dunkey is biased af... still a funny guy tho
I love how Dunkey talks about platform fighters like access to one is a human right.
I knew this game was gonna be gone fast but coming back to this 7 months later and I’ve completely forgotten about this game. It’s fun to see I was right and the game died in around only 3 months 😭
Just like Nick Brawl 1, this game was not a finished product. Perhaps the story will be different when the game returns in 2024.
Thank you Dunkey, for letting everyone realize this game is actually bad.. or good. I actually couldn’t tell if you liked the game or not.
It’s okay. It’s fun but def not smash
Dunkey is pointing out the things he liked and didn't about the game. Obviously there's pros and cons in his mind, both of which he goes over in a fair amount of detail. Does he need to slap an IGN 7/10 on it for you to get anything out of this review?
What I got from that was, Hey it's a dumb game but it's also free so try it with a buddy and you may like it.
Lol he basically said smash bros is so good that even tho this is an inferior clone it’s still a lot of fun.

"This is like a roster of the toys I had when I was a kid"
And that's... bad?
He's making reference to how random and unfitting some of the picks were ig.
@@ibrahimalee23 I get that. I still don't see how you pick up an official WB platform fighter with hundreds if not thousands of IPs and expect cohesion. And with a little something for everyone and more inbound, I certainly don't see that aspect as a downside.
Just about every other criticism here is fair and warranted, but stating "This is like a roster of the toys I had when I was a kid" as a downside comes off as a real "No fun allowed".
@@dontaericeart yea, its weird considering basically the same criticism is true of smash? like they're all video game characters, sure, and they're mostly kid oriented, but characters like snake and bayo are clearly very different. the only reason smash feels cohesive is because were so used to it
"This is like a roster of the toys i had as a kid" *meanwhile, smash, who's premise is literally all the toys of some kid being the roster*
Yeah, i love Dunkey, but sometimes he complains about totally stupid stuff. The roster of Multiversus is amazing exactly because of the insane crossovers, nobody would ever imagine a game where Arya fights Bugs Bunny lmao.
smash is rich kid toybox. multiversus is cable kids toy hamper.
Literally ROB😂
Most properties in Warner Bros are beloved by the general public even more than 80% of Nintendo's roster though
Bro, I like Fire Emblem and respect Xenoblade and Pikmin, but I am sure there are not actual cheap toys for those franchises.
Dunkey is the first person I've seen who seems to like Nickelodeon all stars over multiversus, which is both surprising and not surprising at all lol
It's much more well put together as a fighting game, but has a lot of crust around the edges that make it harder for the average person to pick up on top of having an unfairly high cost of entry.
Nick All-stars had functional 1v1, which was the main reason why he sunk time into it. I'm not sure he likes it more or not
Nick is slept on. It’s tighter and you can actually play 1v1. I don’t see any copy paste moves or anything in nick, but the only “flaw” is the initial cost for the game. Paying for the game up front is and ideally should be the standard. I don’t want micro transactions in actual games (not iOS or android)
@@synthesiatutorials3081 i dont think nock is slept on its just ass. Music was ass. Stages ass. No voice lines ass. Games are much more tgan gameplay and tgats why it sucked
@@synthesiatutorials3081 It's slept on to the point of not having enough of an active playerbase to get into games. when you lose almost all of the large starting playerbase almost immediately something is wrong with the game
The WB account allows for crossplay and cross progression so that's a fat W.

Goofin aside I think the main thing Multiversus might have over Smash is that anything that's wrong with the game currently actually has a chance of being fixed
@bssni touir irl or vidya
No amount of fixing will make it better
@bssni touir Another bot copies another comment word for word to pretend they are human
You were right
this is FAAAR better than nickelodeon all star brawl. to launch a game at $50, when it's supposed to tout it's unique characters and IP, then not having any voice actors in the game until a year after launch is a huge oversight. NASB felt completely soulless compared to Multiversus
Thanks for saving me the time of putting what I was thinking to words
NASB had 0 budget and the devs did what they could with the bare minimum they were given. They have added in voice-acting in the current state.
MVS just has a company willing to throw tons of money around to make their game succeeds, with tournaments getting massive financial support.
@@eu4um releasing a $50 game with a 17 fighter roster then charging for additional fighters as well is going to kill your game. blame nickelodeon for not giving ludosity a bigger budget. WB giving playerfirstgames a bigger budget doesn’t diminish their work or effort, WB just gave them a better opportunity to succeed. nickelodeon should’ve done the same instead of half-assing the budget and expecting broad appeal and success.
Shame that Nickelodeon had wavedashing and stuff, and all that stuff is absent from Multiversus
Like it's clear one game cared about the gameplay and the other didn't
@Svenger Mc. Spazzy laughs in evo22
We need Elmer Fudd in this game. along with the Animaniacs, Neo from the matrix, Beetlejuice, Ace Ventura, The Joker, Dexter, Gumball, Mordecai, and Rigby. We also need Ed, Edd, and Eddy, Daffy Duck, Fred Flintstone, Jay Gatsby, Plank, Samurai Jack, Micheal Jordan, (because they already have Lebron so why not) The Atom, Willy Wonka, and Zorro. and this is just stuff warner bros owns directly

@@gannielukks1811
It has a little something for everyone
As someone who gets absolutely dominated in smash, I have enjoyed this game a significant amount more for the fact I don't lose every single match.
same tbh this game is easier for me to play and i have more fun because i have a chance of winning whereas smash i get so unbelievably wrecked every game its just not fun no matter how much i practice😂
Agreed. It's just much easier to fully comprehend
@@frostedmocha the opposite for me, i find Smash easier to play and win than this game, it's weird i see my moves connect but the enemy doesnt take the move, the character flicks in the screen, Batman is wonky and buggy etc
Might have something to do with the players being 5 to 10 years old lol
Thats where the problem is for me, when I play this game the matches seem somewhat even but only because neither player can comprehend what they are doing and cant hit half their moves. Compared to smash where i can actually formulate combos that I plan out rather than throwing out 30 abilities at once and hoping they connect
I didn't really expect to like this game so much, and I agree with a lot of the talking points in this video.
But the fact that these characters are so in-depth and fully realized as their own characters is really incredible. They interact with each other when they get killed, they have custom voice lines for specific teammates and enemies, even the in-game text is in-line with what the characters might actually say. It's like the characters really just jumped out of their respective properties and just continued being themselves, which is really cool to me.
Overall, I think if you're interested in this game, and you're between the ages of 7 yrs old to 70, you should definitely give it a try. And like dunkey said, it's FREE.
I guess if you´re 80 already you cant play it.
One character is free, you have to pay for the rest
Too bad they look like shit after they’ve been run through the generic cartoon artstyle of the game.
@@rainawareness1495 you can unlock the rest for free
@@spiraljumper74 Dawg the characters here are actually animated super well lol
Listen dunkey I’m normally on your side but multiversus is actually good
I'd say its great if you look at it as it's own thing, and it's just okay if you're specifically comparing it to Smash (aside from the wifi connection and price point aspects).
It definitely has potential to get even better though.
@@senatorarmstrong2100 yeah.. I know. that's why I said multiversus has potential.
I spent most of my time here trying to determine if these were real characters in the game or not.
They kept being real.
4:16 felt like an AVGN moment from 12 years ago lmao
I hope videogamedunkey joins multiversus! He’s a very underrated video game character and it could really boost his videogames!
I hope he says his signature catchphrase, "did I mine that"
I was not ready for the end. I'm still rolling 🤣🤣
What’s funny is I completely disagree with his assessment and still found this to be an extremely enjoyable video to watch. I enjoy this game far more than the Nickelodeon game, which to me feels really bland. Also the roster comparison isn’t exactly fair since smash lets you play as a naked hair witch with guns and beat up a gorilla and a 2d video game character that no one under 50 had heard of before they were added (Mr. Game and Watch).
Yes, but those are still connected by a theme and role. They're major characters of popular video games, which Smash is a celebration of. Multiversus characters are picked because Warner Bros thought "Eh, just put whatever we own that's vaguely popular in there"
The game is still super boring after a while, I’d much rather play smash than this garbage
hey i played the nickelodeon game on ps plus and it was really awesome and the gameplay was way better than multiversus. but i kinda prefer multiversus even when the hitboxes are garbadge. for example neutral down attack with bugs bunny has such a low range that its completly useless
@@Snaaake_Beater
The hell is a “neutral down attack”
@@FilthyCasualty not a special diwn attack
The roster might be crazy incoherence, but at least they had the good sense to make them visually consistent. Compare to Playstation All Stars, where you had cartoony Parappa versus grim dark Infamous dude.
I honestly think this is one of the top Smash a likes I've played thus far. Jump Ultimate Stars and Rivals of Aether still better, but it might get better.
its definitely going to get better. more content is coming in season 1 and the devs are always making improvements like fixing hitboxes. remember this is still in the beta
Better than smash and doesn't have shitty online.
I actually like All Stars a lot more for that reason. It's a game where characters from different universes fight, they shouldn't all have the same art style. They should look how they looked in their universe, rather than all meld together into a weird cartoon.
parappa looks weird in that game, he looks like a cookie
watch ur mouth about all stars boy
Coming from someone who lives in the third world country known as Australia. It's nice having a smash type game to play that doesn't need me to sub to the worst online service available, ensuring every game will be a teleporting, rubber banding mess. Thanks for that Nintendo, very cool
I've put over 1000 hours into Smash Ultimate, many of them playing online with random and friends. I'd say roughly 1-2% of my games have any lag or rubberbanding whatsoever. That really sounds like a problem on your end.
@@343Films nah nintendo servers r trash and lag all the time for me too. I play via ethernet and when I did a speed test, the switch has a connection speed that is one tenth of the speed I get on my ps4/ps5.

They definitely do- at least on levels of marketing and products like how most children know who Hello Kitty is. Might not have watched an episode but if they've been to Six Flags or walked down a Target t-shirt aisle they'll at least be familiar with them.
Bugs is in the beginning of almost every Warner Bros. movie. He's not a fucking character lost to time, same with guys like Daffy and Porky.

How far we’ve gone, from mario tripping over yoshi in the original smash bros commercial to Lebron James vs Steven Universe.
"you can have solid snake vs banjo kazooie"
"you can have Game of Thrones vs Stephen Universe, who is their audience?"

Who did you get?
"Waluigi"
What did it cost us?
"WAH"
The devs can't afford to have any character
What about your own mother? Can't wait to play as her.
just add smash to multiversus
I'd say this is far better than All Stars, and it's free, so that's pretty much a win-win. It focuses heavily on the 2v2 aspect and excels a lot at it because character combos have various different synergies you can play off of. This is helped by how unique every character's move set is. In All Stars, most of the characters reuse a lot of the exact same moves and animations, makes the whole thing feel very bland
Did you say that because you just wanted talk it done without actually playing it or did you say it in context that you mean it.
did you know the devs of both games are friends. so its possible, that some characters will cross over between games
I agree.
@@vinkennest3274 Well I've played both and can double down on what he's said. What turned me off from NASB is just how similar the characters feel and play. Not to mention the presentation is a lot more clean.
It’s not that they reused animations, it’s that they’re like 3 frames long because they don’t care if it looks like garbage as long as the characters have good frame data
big agree
This review is so good, I subbed this channel.
They must have needed to nerf Shaggy down to only 0.0001% of his true power or it would just be a slaughter.
Those are all good points that I agree with, but multiversus has a functional online, which puts it above smash by default since you can actually play this game
Nah, I'm playing Smash regardless. MV's online doesn't make up for its gameplay.
@@arglebargle5531 but the gameplay is good
@@arglebargle5531 I mean. You are comparing a 60 dollar game with over 20 years of experience only playable in a single console and limited with terrible online servers versus a F2P game made by a studio with any previous videogame behind his back but with actual good online. If you want yo compare MVS with something, compare it with Brawlhalla.
Smash online works most of the time.
But when it doesn't work it becomes like you're trying to record a stop motion video.
Multiverse is just had some weird ass rubber banding, at least the match still ends quickly instead of taking all day.
But the thing about Smash Brothers is it's meant to be played locally.
If your friends haven't become so afraid of your power, they don't even want to fight you anymore.
@@JesusHerrera-rl2rx Funny enough, it does basically everything that Brawlhalla does right, but also has an actual budget. The aforementioned functional netcode, good roster, despite some questionable choices, gameplay's fun enough even with its weird jank and balance, F2P with all of the gameplay-relevant stuff eventually accessible without spending money.

The roster sounds like one of your jokes
So as a joke I said to myself, "They should add in Mr. Six from the old Six Flags commercials"
Then I realized that's not a joke, he's actually in the WB family, they could probably get that IP pretty easy
I’d put it at 15% odds Mr. Six gets added as a character and 110% chance the dance gets added as a taunt lol
"do children even know what Looney Tunes is anymore?"
i know that's a joke but, oh my god, that stings

Dunkey you capture my attention the whole video till the credits every time
the target demographic is jerma
4:17
I don’t know why but this edit of Bugs bunny cussing out Superman in just perfect
A closer look could be if Dunkey is saying that Multiversus may suffer a significant drop in the playerbase over time, if WB keep a competitive focus rather than something that can be enjoyable for casuals. Buggs “git guds” Superman while he flying out, is an analogy of casuals quitting the game when they feel they aren’t skilled enough.
Edit?
Edit?
Dunkey. I’ve been a loyal fan for years. I was around back when Phantom Menace was being written on the cavemen walls. All your videos are mastapieces, though, something in my soul feels empty. Let’s rewind to, Star Wars: Attack of the Dentist. One of your all time best videos. This sole video has gotten me through the hardest of times. Whenever I feel like I can’t do something, I pop on this video once in a while and boom I feel like Jackie Chan. It was incredible. Better yet, you launched a sequel, Star War 2: Phantom Crentist, which turned out to be another mastapiece. The duo felt unstoppable. Surely we couldn’t wait for the third…
It’s been 8 years. I’m now a grown man currently playing the new Lego Star Wars (awaiting your review on this). I’ve given up hope for Tar War 3: Revenge of the Mentist. It’s gone into the dark abyss of forgotten sequels such as Half Life 3, Battlefront 3, and Balder’s Gate: Dark Alliance 3. Your Lego Star Wars videos are some of the finest cuts of meat on RUclips, if Lego Wars 3 shows up in the future, I will be satisfied with the grand conclusion
this is so well written I can hear dunkeys voice reading it perfectly
Yeah I read this out loud in Dunkey's voice.

I KNEW I WASN’T THE ONLY ONE
I feel like this is AI generated.
Bugs Bunny routinely deals with people throwing guns and swords in his face.
Steven Universe dealt with the emotionally disturbed members of a planet wrecking space empire.
Arya's more likely to be corrupted by them than the other way around
I feel like dunkey is being nitpicking and biased
I never played smash but the controls are actual dogshit.
are you new here or something?
"this is like a game of all the toys I had when I was a kid"
yea man, that's fucking sick. This is the SSB of all other media that isn't nintendo
SSB's whole thing is revealing that it's toys in a kid's room.
Dunkey was pretty nitpickey and biased in this one ngl
My favorite part of Multiversus is definitely when Bugs Bunny calls Superman a “dumbass bitch” when he wins, causing Superman to fly away in embarrassment
Dang it’s almost as if Super Smash is based on video game characters and Multiversus is based on series and movies.
I feel like half the video talking about the roster is way too much but it recovered afterwards, good vid
I can't believe they included that last voice line in this game!
