Beetlejuice and Wicked Witch of the West Apparently Set to Join MultiVersus

It looks like Beetlejuice and Wicked Witch of the West are among upcoming MultiVersus characters, if datamined voice lines are anything to go by. Season 1 kicked off yesterday along with a big update, the patch notes for which teased DC’s Black Adam and Gremlins’ Stripe. However, dataminer AisulMV found voice lines for Beetlejuice and Wicked Witch, which Warner Bros. is busy taking down via copyright strikes, essentially confirming their existence.

Voice lines of a number of MultiVersus characters have been leaked

At the time of this writing, Wicked Witch and Black Adam voice lines are still up on Twitter. However, Beetlejuice, Rick, and Morty voice lines have been removed via copyright strikes. Additionally, images of new Harley in-game skin and Morty’s move lists have also been removed.

For those who missed it, full patch notes for MultiVersus update 1.03 are as follows:

General

  • Morty will be arriving on 08/23! He will be our first Plumbus-wielding character!
  • The patch will come in two parts. The first will be on August 15 and the second will be coming shortly afterwards (hopefully in the next few days). So not every change, but most will be in the August 15 patch.

New Free Character Rotation (8/15 – 8/30)

  • Battle Pass XP match rewards increased to 10 for wins and 5 for losses, up from 5 for wins and 3 for losses.
  • Disabled class based Battle Pass missions other than for Tanks
    • Developer Note: Since players might not have access to fighters in specific classes other than Tank (thanks to Wonder Woman), we felt like relying on rerolls was not a reliable enough method to work around those missions.
  • Lowered the requirements for a number of seasonal missions:
    • Ringout a player from the top of the map 50 times (previously 75)
    • Ringout a player from the side of the map 50 times (previously 75)

Gameplay Modes:

  • FFA – Fixed a bug where pop up text would display the incorrect point value.

Characters

Legend:
+ = Buff
 = Nerf
~ = Change
Note: Attacks callouts reference default controls.

Arya

The goal of these changes was to make Arya’s combos be more consistent and successful at lower skill levels.

  • + Air/Ground Up Special – Hitting a fighter will now more accurately launch them at an angle to allow follow-ups for Arya
  • + Air Up Attack – The first hit will now more accurately combo into the second hit.
  • + Neutral Air Attack – Now has earlier branching on hit.
  • + Ground Side Attack – Arya will retain velocity on first hit of side attack.
  • + Ground Down Attack – Now has slightly earlier dodge branching
  • ~ Air/Ground Neutral Special – Fixed a bug where Arya would not copy over capsule hitboxes on her normal neutral attacks when stealing a fighter’s face.
    • Set Arya’s hurtbox to match her victim’s hurtbox while she is disguised as them.
    • Fixed a bug where Arya’s top UI would be offset incorrectly when she steals a face.
    • Fixed bug where Arya’s disguise attack hitbox could get disconnected.
    • Fixed bug where Arya’s original hitboxes would be useable during disguise attacks.
    • Fixed bug where the hitboxes from Arya’s disguise would stay active during her normal attacks.

Batman

  • ~ Air/Ground Side Special – Fixed bug where Batman would overshoot his grapple destination if the fighter he was grappling to dodged.
    • Increased the overshooting distance when grappling to an ally.
    • Fixed Batman grapple failing at short distances under high latency
  • – Ground Side Attack – First hit added 3 frames of whiff recovery.
  • – Air/Ground Neutral Attack (coming in patch 2): Batarang pick up will now return 9.45s of it’s cooldown down from 11.55s. This change helps create a window from when the batarang is used for the opponent to react. With perks like Coffeezilla causing this cooldown to be even shorter, we felt this change was necessary to create counterplay against the batarang.

Bugs Bunny

Bugs Bunny is a bit too safe in everything he does. We’ve given him some additional whiff punish windows to help address this.

  • ~ Air Up Special – Fixed an exploit where Bugs could spawn two rockets.
  • ~ Air Side Special – Fixed an exploit where Bugs could spawn two rockets.
  • – Air/Ground Neutral Special – Fixed an exploit where Bugs could spawn multiple safes without triggering his cooldown.

  • ~ Air Down Special – Bugs’ previous tunnels will now disappear when creating new tunnels.
  • – Air Up Attack
    • Added 4 frames of whiff recovery.
  • – Air Side Attack – Increased whiff recovery by 5 frames.
  • – Air Neutral Attack – Increased whiff recovery by 5 frames.
  • – Ground Down Attack – Pie max lifetime set to 8 seconds, from infinite.
    •  Pie no longer applies a slow

Finn

Fighting against Finn felt too difficult as Finn felt a bit too safe and could throw out attacks without much fear of a punish due to how quickly he recovered. Hurt/Hit box foundational updates are coming soon, but will not be in this patch.

  • – Passive – Attacks affected by Attack Decay no longer spawn coins
    • Finn now spawns with 100 gold instead of 200
  • + Air Down Special – Fixed an issue where the gem required 200 gold to spawn, but only cost 100 to spawn. Gem now requires and costs 100
  • – Air Side Special – Added additional whiff recovery.
  • – Ground/Air Up Special – Reduced the strength of the vacuum effect on the backpack
    • Weaker hits of the backpack will no longer “overwrite” stronger knockbacks from other attacks

    • Added whiff recovery.
    • Hitboxes should better match the attack (not perfect until our planned hurt/hit box system overhaul)
  • – Air Side Attack – Reduced active frames to diminish Finn’s ability to hit fighters behind him
  • – Ground Down Attack – The distance Finn covers with this attack now scales with how charged the attack is.
  • – Ground Side Attack – Increased whiff recovery for the first hit.
  • + On The House perk – Fixed an issue where Finn still spent gold on gems spawned by the perk
    • Slightly reduced the launch speed of gems spawned by the perk – this should fix issues that arose when this perk was combined with the “Make it Rain, Dog!” perk

Garnet

  • + Air/Ground Neutral Special – Song activation starts earlier on frame 12 instead of frame 30.
  • ~ Air/Ground Down Special – Fixed bug where Garnet would be stopped by Iron Giant’s collision when she moves with her down special.

    • – Reduced chicken duration from 10 seconds to 8
    • + Increased the size of the chicken
