Riot was working on a Smash Bros-style fighting game, but MultiVersus helped convince it to pull the plug(www.pcgamer.com)

Multiversus so bad it’s now killing other games.

Every Smash clone tries to be innovative in the worst ways.

To be fair, I think a PC / cross platform game would have more success due to a wider audience. But a lot of those clones often fail to understand the very basic things that make Smah Bros such a great title.

as far as platform fighters go, Brawlhala actually did decent.

Also Rivals 2 will likely do well. If anything, we’re seeing platform fighters getting more and more recognized as a genre rather than one game and a bunch of clones.

I thought the Nickelodeon one had a lot of potential but they really fumbled it with the small cast, lack of voice acting, and bad netcode in the beginning. It was eerie seeing the Nickelodeon characters be utterly silent while hitting each other.

I feel like a well executed game would do well. That’s not what multiversus is.

Deciding not to make “meta” trash is a good decision.
