MultiVersus, Warner Bros.’ surprisingly nice tackle Tremendous Smash Bros that launched in open beta at present, is already dropping the nerf hammer (opens in new tab) on its most hated character. After every week of domination, Taz the Tasmanian Satan is receiving a major downgrade aimed toward making him much less irritating to play towards.
To the numerous who purchased into MultiVersus weeklong early entry previous open beta, Taz’s dreaded side-special twister transfer (the one he does in all of the Looney Tune shorts) has been the stuff of nightmares (opens in new tab): each few seconds, Taz can grow to be a hard-hitting, all-encompassing, cellular hurtbox who offers a ton of knockback. The transfer had important precedence over opponent counters. Miss your dodge, and also you have been virtually assured to get comboed for 3 or 4 hits. In a patch launched this morning, developer Participant First Video games dialed again his signature transfer.
- A lower to the twister’s period and the extra period gained by passing an ally.
- Eradicating one of many multi-hits of the twister.
- Reducing the hit pause of all of the hits within the twister.
- Lowered knockback from the ultimate hit within the twister from 1375 to 1275
“You probably have been following early entry, Taz’s Twister has been dominating his character equipment and presenting a non-obvious data examine for newer gamers. By decreasing its effectiveness we hope to enhance his gameplay well being and loop and produce the sport to a more healthy state for newer gamers.”
In the long run, Participant First plans to transition Taz’s twister to a cooldown transfer, however it needs to watch out about deemphasizing Taz’s most recognizable assault. “The twister is Taz’s signature transfer so we need to hold it as one among his strongest assaults.”
I haven’t had an opportunity to strive the Taz adjustments for myself but because of the server outages (opens in new tab) affecting MultiVersus the morning of its open beta launch, however the sport’s burgeoning Reddit neighborhood has been fast to react to Participant First’s launch day cocktail of anti-tornado stability adjustments.

The most recent patch additionally addresses just a few bugs that have been letting some characters get away with significantly nasty combos. Iron Big’s air-down assault can “not combo into itself” and created a near-infinite string of jet boot curbstomps. Darn, I used to be having enjoyable with that one. Batman now has elevated cooldown on his batarang as a result of he might throw it so typically that there have been “very small home windows the place the Batarang wasn’t in play.” Mr. Wayne will miss the ‘rang, for certain—the flexibility has good attain and might be guided manually in-flight.
first spherical of balancing I reckon. It is promising that Participant First is displaying some restraint with Taz because it reacts to instant suggestions. It is easy to overcorrect within the face of a pissed off neighborhood all yelling and memeing about the identical factor, however perhaps these knockback and multi-hit reductions might be all he must cease dominating my 2v2 matchups.
