MultiVersus - Official Banana Guard “Welcome to the Bunch” Gameplay Trailer 

Imagine they do add lemongrab at some point 💀

Hi, what character is in your pfp?

Pretty sure Justin Roiland ensured that Lemongrab will never happen

Damm if only Justin Roiland Didn’t screw his reputation

Can't they just recast Lemongrab? Maybe with the guy who voiced Mr. Poopybutthole in the latest season

The Joker: Talk about an apPEELing to be GUARDed! GET IT?!

Not sure if its real or not but i seen someone post a screenshot of the powerpuff girls getting leaked during the joker trailer

@@cameroncurtis2135they are in the trailer, very hidden on the computer screen’s top right corner. it was more of a teaser if anything but they’re definitely confirmed at this point!

Now we have a literal murderer

The dev is a minion 🍌

damn, i would love to imagine that marceline's epic skin is her marshmallow form

From the leaks marceline will probably be the next character

@@astroalex126 or they might screw up everything and give us homestar runner instead

And then Peach/Bowser don't get added

Except funnier

he kinda like yoshi tbh

Waluigi mfs

Umm actually 🤓 Garnet has a close playstyle to bowser in my opinion

There's always the chance that the leak was intentional. Considering it's an odd pick, it gave us time to settle the idea in. It might have a worse reception if they announce it out of the blue.

They have been talking about bannanas for a like a week before the "leak".

@@Dairunt1 youre actually right, the devs are lowkey smart

Unless I’m mistaken, the Nick Brawl 2 devs did a similar thing. All 4 DLC Fighters were leaked, and about a day or two later, they also said “fuck it” and posted an image showing all four of them. Quite a shame, in retrospect. I’m pretty sure all of their newcomers were leaked.

I think they planned to release this today

So be fair so was “super saiyan” shaggy lol

​@@jacksvendsgaard2270 oh thats not a joke, thats a GOD

At least not a obvious ad character, like LeBron or Black Adam lol

@@TreeckoDX64 I think B. Adam was more of an ad, LeBron felt legitimate.

​@@TreeckoDX64 Black Adam wasnt an ad character, WB just pushed his released to coincide with the Black Adam movie

Blaze: Then when you got in the game before me and my sisters?

Speaking of Butter cup I still want to know when we're getting her Blossom, and Bubbles in the game Since it feels weird having Townsville in here as a stage without the girls themselves

@@dylansmith5206 the girls were confirmed watch the joker trailer look at where the screen has all the heroes and characters look in top right corner you see the power puff girls

@@dylansmith5206 bubbles and blossom will be here too, hope we have Gorillaz characters too because they share universe with the ppg

Yeah but piranha plant was the character n 70, this is in the base roster 😭

@@the_dark_tortellino8499Plus they did not get added to a game that’s under a bit of scrutiny and has to earn a lot of goodwill back, this is a misstep imo

Except worse

Damn, you beat me to that comment.

Exactly what I was thinking

“So, the Banana Man voiced by Weird Al?”

Nobody wants him but u swear these type of characters be op when ppl learn them just like that dog character that could zone the whole match

" MMMMMMMMMM BANANA"

We have the banan guàrd

Marceline, Bubblegum, BMO, Simon (with no crown), Fiona, Lady Rainicorn, and Ice King.

At least this isn't a Byleth scenario. People really hated THAT.😬

@@SuperDreampuffGamer This is litteraly a Byleth scenario lmao - they have +100 emblematic and fan request characters but went for this fucking banana guy. People were mad they had added YET ANOTHER Fire Emblem sword fighter instead of going for a fan request or a third party. Here it's the same, people are mad because they added a fucking joke character nobody cares about, and did so before adding other characters that are far more deserving. The only difference is that Byleth had a very unique moveset that reconciled a lot of people, meanwhile this banana guy just looks to be wanking his spear all around and that's about it, not very exciting to be honest.

​@@dashbolt101sthis is a prianha plant scenario, and Byleth's moveset is a poor copout

​@@dashbolt101s This situation look more like piranha plant to me tbh. They both look like a joke character.

​@Tiew-fs6jm Piranha Plant had 100% more charcter in his trailer compared to this one

I'd say the same of Villager and Isabelle in Smash, but crossover-platform-fighters usually lean more toward 'Rule of Cool' than actual canon, usually for the best too.

@@finaldusk1821 "Rule of funny" would apply there as well

Imagine how Adventure Time's story would be IF Banana Guard was like this

@@finaldusk1821 i don't know if it's rule of cool as much as it is rule of Absurd, same reason why Wii Fit was in smash

@@illford also pirrahna plant, mr. game and watch, and duck hunt fit under the absurd category. i have a love hate relationship with absurd characters lol

Like Isabelle!

Like Little Mac

Unlike Waluigi

@@C____F____M Waluigi doesn't deserve it

One has to imagine the Bananaguard4MVS Twitter account will pivot to asking for NEPTR next

And the theme of the papers in the hat was "nonspecific drone characters".

yet still appreciated and enjoyed

Says you lol. I'm at the very least gonna try banana guard out.

So my main from smash has a version in here? Don't mind if I main-

@@sersmiles1635 Exactly!

it's spelled "choose" dummy

Fr

Before ben tennyson, rex, static shock, Dexter or any other Cartoon characters that we wanted from Warner bros

Soon my little buddy, soon

Before Johnny Bravo, Ruby Rose, Samurai Jack, The Animaniacs, The Flash, Harry Potter, Godzilla, King Kong, Gandalf, fucking Marceline-

MULTIVERSUS NECESITA A GUMBALL Y DARWIN

If he's the closest we get to Sephiroth gameplay wise, I'll be fine maining him.

I have mained him, and he's amazing and a lot of fun to play as

I mean Banana Guards have so many variations, it would be funny if one of those skins is of a Human Banana Guard from Fiona and Cake

I hope so honestly

@@JuanCarlosSanchez-oo3szuu just found tha only way ill play banana guard😯❕

To be fair right now Harley Quinn has one less skin than reindog

I'm one of the few

Hi, I am one of those few

Hearing this, makes me see him the Steve of multiverses

You can’t please everyone. Besides, character reveals are usually supposed to be a surprise, not predictable.

I am also one of those few

Yep

Didn't lil Mac go from assist ti playable in smash

@@KyttVA You're right! He did... but that's in the span of 1 game to the next. If we're talking first Assist to become a playable character in general, you'd be right to say it's Little Mac... but I'm specifically referring to going from Assist to playable in the same game they became an assist... And that's 🍌💂.

Nice profile pic

And joker

You must've fallen into a rock, actually, probably hit yourself with that rock to forget Joker and his whole cgi trailer.

@@amirfroggie8370 yeah idk man joker is not enough I personally think there are better characters for a comeback than joker

​@@princee6383 yeah like Spinel, It, the banana splits, Kong

​@@amirfroggie8370 The Joker is not gonna carry the entire game, my dude.

You gotta admit, it’s pretty funny tho

I mean, I like it, but why not more popular characters first?

@@gagedon500 no its not, its stuff like this that’s the reason this game might fell.

​@manwithwlife4695 I mean it's kinda funny...it would especially be funny if we eventually got one of the other characters and the MV devs were like "see, they were coming all along".....riiiight, but banana gaurds first?! Over Ice king and Marceline?!

Now you understand the pain of Waluigi fans

He solos

That really would be op

Vs all 3 power puff girls 💀

@@Zachary88561 that'd be crazy, 3 adventure time characters battling 3 little girls 😂🗿

The character between Jake and Joker could be Johnny Cage .

there’s this game out called mortal Kombat that has them…. You should try that one

@@jkudasai104I didn’t know mk was a arena fighter (eye roll)

@@jkudasai104 oh i am sorry. Just pointing out how stupid your comment was and how it goes against multiverse it self hahaha so sorry. Lol

@@jkudasai104thank you fam lol

It's so bizarre. Maybe some time down the line, after they added some more iconic characters, I'd be okay with them adding a joke character like this The game is supposed to be having a massive relaunch and Banana Guard is one of only 3 characters they picked for the launch This isn't how you bring hype to the game. Nobody will care about this character choice at all. It's like they want the game to die. Look how much attention the Joker trailer got. That's how they get people talking, by adding iconic characters like him

​@whatsmyname5672 bro not every fighting game needs to have a iconic character 2 stand out, having unique characters no1 expects is a good thing. It's good 2 have surprises no1 expects to keep a game fresh & unpredictable. It's ok if u don't like it but don't act like a spoiled 5 year old about it imao

@@Chillinisjustyea, warner bros should be trying choose more odd ball picks than iconic characters because otherwise the roster would be bloated with looney tunes and dc. plus it makes the game stand out more

It’s the banana from adventure time so it’s not as bad I like the addition

@@plasticstraw5033 If they wanted to go Adventure time, they could have gone with...oh I dunno....PB? Marceline? The Lich? Banana Guard is just out of complete nowhere.

Yep. We owe the guys an apology for not believing it.

Only people who were mad thought that

​@@dannyohare3645or they owe us one for adding this shit

I do owe them an apology, i never realize how funny this actually would be in hindsight

It's definitely a troll to the people who wanted Marceline. Lol RIP

It's such a troll to the adventure time community lmaooo

I think this too, i'm not mad, just very dissapointed about these choice (even more when characters like Daffy duck, Samurai Jack, Johnny Bravo or any other famous character)

Agreed, the game is already struggling to bring in players and viewers. A damn banana guard isn’t going to do that

I personally wouldn't call it "too early". Nick All-Star Brawl added a similar joke character, Hugh Neutron, as DLC/around their 25th character, which is the same as here. Not to mention Smash Bros had Jigglypuff & Pichu for the 64 and Melee rosters.

Wdym, almost everyone fighting game nowadays have joke characters in the roster very early

⁠​⁠​⁠@@W-LM27Hugh was extremely wanted, because he was the most wanted character when the game was announced, due to memes. Jigglypuff and Pichu you’re right though with those games not having reveal trailers or anything like that for trailers it wasn’t as big of a deal.

It's funny that a cartoon fighting game has LeBron James in it and he's not the twist joke character in it

​@@SATANICWAAAHtbf they were treating LeBron like he was a cartoon saying he was from "space jam" and that they would give him a more cartoony look but made him realistic

​@@SATANICWAAAH Lebron was on Space jam 2 tho hence why.

​@@LemonEditsAndReviewsSpeaking of Space Jam Still hope and pray that Micheal Jordan is added to the game as a playable fighter.

Harley Quinn and the Joker vs Banana Guard and Lebron James

Thorgis arcade doesnt even make picks as strange as this sometimes lol

Yeah, I definitely agree with Thorgi. Every crossover fighting game needs it's wild picks to make things more interesting and fun.

For every person complaining about Banana Guard, there’s probably someone else out there demanding that MultiVersus adds a character from some obscure cartoon that nobody knows about.

But not when the roster is this small

Yeeeaaaa 😂❤️🤘

The word is "gets", not "needs".

We already got black adam

@@doofus.506 your right, but compared to banana guard…..

​@@D_YellowMadness no, it's needs

​@@doofus.506 And reindog and the gremlins

And they did it right

And they did it right

Gotta appeal to Adventure Time kiddies with cringy characters, I guess. But yeah, really weird choice. Doesn't even remotely tempt me to try the game again, personally. Joker was a fun start... but this? I could understand if the banana had a unique, fun fighting style but the moves look super generic as well.

​@@CosmicAeon I mean we already got Powerpuff Girls and Dexter all but confirmed, I see no issue with Banana Guard. I'm also going to add that calling Adventure Time cringe is a pretty funny statement considering what you sound like in this comment section.

@@CrazyCritter1 for real, bro pulled up with the AI pfp and said "doesn't remotely tempt me". He's loonier than the tunes fr.

Banana Guard: nah, I'd win.

They will come later

Princess Bubblegum was busy so she send the banana guards to take her place

I really hope pb gets in

Or Ice King?

He is a CN Character

Smash Fans: This brings back memories of Piranha Plant.

Everygame has a left field character. Just look at smash and pirana plant

He's literally a CN character

​@@BJMashPotatohe obviously means over any other CN character

Or if we get King Kong 👀

Well bananas are a source of potasium afterall lol.

@@LatinGiudo817 Taz can eat him too yeah

Facts

Jack and Grim had such obvious movesets and are both amazing characters...

mvs ll be dead in a month again

As well as freaking Ben 10

To be fair, we didn't really "get" anyone yet since the game is not out yet... these are just announcements. It's possible those characters are ready and available, but they want to wait until later to announce it for hype reasons or something (Please keep in mind, though, that I personally doubt these certain characters will be playable at launch day, so my hopes are low for that).

dont forget gumball and the powerpuff girls

praise banan

Same. Banana Guard is a well executed joke character, and his moveset feels unique to him

In the words of Scott the Woz: “Every fighting game needs a ‘what the f*ck’ character” 😂

However not now. Their are 200 wishlisted characters many with thousands of votes and this guy is not even on the list. Such a poor choice again by PFG.

​@@tossacointoyourwitcherOriginal Banana Guard is a weird choice but he's clearly the joke character and a charming one at that so I really don't get the issue

​@@dillongeorge5866 just like he once said one of his main problems with madieval games is that they always have sexy characters

It's a meme character, she'll arrive at some point, They can't release the best ones all at once, otherwise the hype will end, they will probably alternate between popular characters and "mid" characters.

I'm sure they'll still come

Apparently this was a leak so I'm guessing he was originally going to come AFTER the big reveals

@@DrGandW Not a leak, more like people caught a frame of the previous reveal trailer that he was in. You can see it at about 10 to 11 seconds in if you slow the video down to 0.25

​@@Du-yw1pzSpeaking of them coming I still hope they at least use The Original versions of Blossom, Bubbles, and Butter cup as opposed to the dog vomit reboot versions That plus get me Mojo JoJo Give me Him Fuzzy Lumpkins The GangGreen Gang Princess Morbucks Ect...........

@@dylansmith5206 and the Rowdyruff Boys as alt skins to.

I would have even appreciated Dee-dee more than banana guard

The PPGs are already confirmed to be coming. They were teased in Joker's trailer.

Based

​@@CeHee123Bro they literally used a png I found on google images

Except the Powerpuff Girls were already confirmed, the fact Banana Guard is going to be playable doesn't mean nobody else is, the entire point of Multiversus is that anybody is possible for the roster

Counter point. Pichu.

Jigglypuff

Mr Game and Watch fr fr

Counter point: this game has around the same amount of characters in Melee, and that one had Game and Watch 🤷‍♂️

That tends to happen to a lot of joke characters. Either really trash, or too OP

​​@@coolbunny he seems to have the same move set or close to the same moveset as spear from brawlhalla, it can be really busted in the air and you will literally never leave the combo but most players don't know how to use it

They could literally add Gandalf too

After two obvious choices, I can't say I mind the third Adventure Time character being a sleeper pick for the roster either.

Well they aren't limitless as the slots aren't infinite.

@@tossacointoyourwitcherOriginal Oh really how many slots are there?

The possibilities are very limited to what they can get into the game before it dies again in 4 months due to stupid 0-appeal roster decisions

Anything except an interesting or popular character is possible at this point.

Exactly

Yessss!!! ❤🔥💯

I 100% with you, they coulda have put in any other joke character if possible. The coffee bean guy from Regular Show, The policeman from Freakazoid or even Scruffy from the same show Adventure Time LMAO.

Take my like and get out

Queenie from Deltarune: GET THAT POTASSIUM KRIS!

Banana guard enjoyer

I also welcome our potassium overlords

Good choise, but i will keep being morty main. I have 200 hours in this game

@@Popodecaballo300 for basically any game I play I choose the characters I like over stats.

@@Vile_gaming me too, i use morty because i like rick and morty, the people who choises a character based on the stats its a bit boring

As someone that did, I might play Banana Guard, even if I'm a Reindog loyalist

Really, all that matters at the end of the day is that each fighter has lots of people who find them fun to play as. I regret ever doubting Piranha Plant's potential upon announcement, and I'm not about to repeat that mistake with Banana Guard!

Yep im was smiling so much

​@@SeantheDracunyan76 banana gang rise up

Are you twelve ?

I'm glad that they're taking risks and putting joke characters like BG instead of only the big guys. Nice job Multiversus 👏

​@SoraSky78 why do you ask is it because I like comedy

Immediately after this we got Jason Voorhees so yeah I'd say so-

I will be beyond impressed if it has more players than Garnet in seasson 2

@@tossacointoyourwitcherOriginal I just think it's funny people are pressed about this character lol

I will get the game just to main Banana Guard

Banana GANG!!!!!!!

If Banana Guard has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Banana Guard has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Banana Guard has only one fan then that is me. If Banana Guard has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Banana Guard, then I am against the world.

That 1 player: DEAL!

Piranha Plant isn't even good & joke characters usually aren't.

@@D_YellowMadnesssomeone won a tournament with piranha plant.

Yeah, it would have probably hit harder if there was a bigger roster of established characters. That's part of why I loved Piranha plant in SSBU. Plant felt like a funny addition to a complete roster.

EXACTLY

Yeah like, before this we got Joker, and immediately after this we got Agent Smith and JASON VOORHEES One silly gag character isn't gonna sink the game.

hello boy

Welcome

Welcome

Here he is

Boy

That's what people have been guessing

Power puff girls have been announced dude, also dexter
