3 Counters For EVERY CHARACTER In MultiVersus

In this video, I'm giving you guys 3 tips to beat every single character in MultiVersus. These tips are all based on my personal experience playing the game, and they are things I've found that make beating these characters much easier. If you guys have any additional tips to share, feel free to leave them in the comments, so everyone else can see them too!
Huge thank you to my friend Aaron ( / hoaxap ) for helping me get all of the background footage, it's harder than it seems because the servers are extremely laggy in custom games right now so it took a couple hours straight of filming.

"No bugs player will expect you to ride their rocket" Well, now they do

[@KayTooLoud]

As a bugs main I expect them to try and dodge upwards or towards me then just spike them into it for an easy combo or even ring out since the upwards bat move is that good

[@saulgoodmansfingerr8527]

That's why i throw them up unless you're on the side of the map

I jumped on a buggs rocket earlier today, doing the tom shoulder shrug emote. the buggs looked really confused.

Isn't that what you always should do

[@gamersnoop2185]

At the same time you only have to air dodges so realize if you lose both you can be die unless you get back to wall or stage

Basically just be good. 😂

[@gregoryolenovich6440]

Just fyi Taz can eat projectiles by just holding neutral special. He also has a very very strong spike with armor break. I dodge through spikes and spike so often it's not funny with Taz. I main Harley but I usually pull out a pocket Taz vs sups and shaggy because they're really annoying and Taz beats their hitboxes.

[@chancexe8352]

The main problem is that taz eating thing is very slow so its gonna be hard to eat the projectile

[@kysensnowfleet4519]

Yeah I main Tom and Jerry and my first projectile will get eaten but often punished right after because it obvious they want to use the eat

[@shortesnameofalltime]

I do not recommend Taz there’s nothing literally nothing good about him

[@ohdangdude7795]

Honestly as a T&J player at high elo, playing close to him may still be an issue 💀 the down air can lead into a loop that gets you to at least 60% (very dumb) up ground is a SUPER good anti-air so trying to avoid the dair loop by jumping over him can still get you hit, but not for 60% so that might be the play. The dynamite can definitely be an anti close range tool as well, he can drop it, not tennis racket it, and begin the funny little setups that the character is known for. I’d say the best counter play is to either somehow kill Jerry (be mindful of the fact that the T&J player can aim the bottle cap pop on Jerry, use the tennis ball to make Jerry hit you, or use the rocket to send it towards Jerry) or wait until the T&J player shoots Jerry off into the blast zone, THEN rush him grounded, the only zoning he gets after Jerry dies is the tnt tennis racket (unless there’s a stage with walls, then Tom can just use those for the tennis ball zoning)

[@ohdangdude7795]

Sorry this is long 💀

[@ohdangdude7795]

I do really appreciate this video though ❤️ helped me with some matchups

[@z00ko]

The best T&J playstyle is to use jerry as bait, and when Jerry got killed, you still have godtier neutral and aerials and animation cancels to be a bruised. Tom is the #1 character in the game. He can do certain cc that no one else can. He has a kit that can do everything, and all of it really fast. Tom&J has no counter, everything is a read based off of a characters playstyle or errors or lack of knowledge of the character

[@ohdangdude7795]

@@z00ko TRUE

[@user-kl3bc3fc5j]

u not high elo

[@baymexx6591]

One thing about Tom & Jerry is that people will always try to rush him down. As a resident semi-main of him, I will always preemptively do the Jerry rocket and just aim it forwards. You will probably get hit but the rocket will most likely hit as well, always doing more damage. It's satisfying when the Finn and like 130 gets that gleam in his eye and starts sprinting at you, straight into a rocket and dying lol

[@ericsenti6409]

Yea that rocket is pretty annoying for rush down characters. As a batman main its always the choice of the my dair for the trade or i sack my batarang. Its a great move for T&J

[@devilos250]

The rocket IS ez to dodge but all finn main play like braindead so its make sens

[@trevaughnsmith506]

@@arthurdias7375 they also look dumb for constantly trying to contest te mouse trap. It's so easy to bait them into it

[@cameronhug]

Tru, I hate controlling the rocket, so I use it as a close / mid range move, PERFECT when you're being rushed down. And if they're high enough, thats game

[@cosmicsquid1285]

This is extremely useful, I think that knowing how people will try to counter you is just as valuable as knowing how to counter them, I haven’t really tried many other characters yet besides jake who I’ve been finding really fun and getting into the mindset of my enemy and knowing how to one up them is invaluable right now. Thanks for the good advice

Nice job with the organization and tips. I'll share this with my friends.

[@MattTein]

When Tom puts Jerry on the rocket, Tom can still move and attack but he will lose control of the rocket which will go straight to the direction he was directed. So even if you try to hit him while he's controlling the rocket, he can still punish you with an Up Tilt if you come up in the air, or with his Jab if you approach him on the ground.

Im subscribing of this video alone. Awesome information, excellently explained and shown (btw shout out to your homie who helped illustrate everything you were saying) and it definitely wasn't too long considering all the info you packed in here. Well done my guy, now for the tier list. 👍🤙👏🤜🤛

[@slushMV]

thanks so much, glad you enjoyed :)

[@screaming3924]

I agree

[@Mewza]

As I main Tom and Jerry myself, I can safely say Steven Universe is a HARD counter to Tom and Jerry. He's fast enough to chase after Tom and his attacks come out faster as well, so if Steven is always in my face I can't do anything simply because his attacks outspeed me.

[@slushMV]

there are definitely hard counters to most of the characters in the game, its annoying but theres not really any way around it unfortunately. the devs cant nerf a characters specifically because of their impact on one other character. in a perfect world, in my opinion, there should be perks that work well to bridge that gap between you and your hard counter, so that would be the solution, but perks are also super hard to balance

[@Mewza]

@@slushMV Oh no I'm fine with it. Seems fair that the counter to a hard to play character is another hard to play character.

[@z00ko]

Steven is not a hard counter to Tom. Tom has tech that can be abused against steven, Steven shines more in 2’s than in 1’s. Steven is a great character, but he’s def not a hard counter to Tom. Your ability usage just has to be well placed, and your cc on point. Steven has nothing in his kit that counters Tom. Toms neutral is some of the best in the game. So I’m not too sure what you’re talking about as far as Steven being a hard counter in this game. No character really hard counters another character. This game is not based on characters, it’s based on perks and movement. A character is just the normals and specials you have, every character has tools to beat each other. The roster is well balanced outside of bugs bunny. And Jake needs a buff. Other than that the cast is really nice when you dive deep into a characters kit or abuse universal tech. And if you are playing a zoning game with Tom, you can only go so far with that. Tom is not a zoning character, he just had really strong zoning abilities, if you want to be a good Tom, be hella aggressive and control spacing and neutral, your neutral and ability usage is god tier, Tom is the most slept on character in this game. He is my sleeper #1. I believe gsm void shows exactly just how scary and powerful of a kit he has, and there are still some frame traps void hasn’t used yet that I’ve found, but he’s still the best Tom & Jerry out there. In other words, Tom is a meta breaker, when mastered. He literally can do everything, faster, and better than other characters. And when running the right perks has no downtime to his tce and cc. Learn the perks in the game, they are the real counters to certain character playstyles, they’re pretty balanced and well used but not all perks are good right now, I believe a lot of defensive and offensive and some utility perks need buffs, and some (many) are bugged

[@meowkitty4849]

The entire meta is gonna change when the hitbox change happens as that is going to add an entire layer to the game that doesn't exist right now. Specifically they will be able to balance individual moves vs individual characters when they do that.

[@ThePokeman]

@@z00ko well I'd say Steven's ability to make and hide behind his shields is an immediate roadblock for Tom players, but I do agree that perks have a larger role to play in countering specific characters. But take for example Iron Giant vs Finn, Finn almost always wins because of his insane speed as well as good air killing attacks whereas Iron Giant can't really respond with any attacks of his own.

[@just_kyashi]

[@zatripper6674]

Big brain

[@archenemy9802]

As a kinda Lebron main, I would agree that his unarmed attacks are pretty bad, but it's truly about timing to make them work. His up and up air are still pretty good for starting a juggle, and his down air is hard to land, but it combos into a lot of armed attacks- so learning to use it is important for having plenty of different lines of play. And for his side light, I've found that trying it land ends up with multiple dodges in a small area. So try to keep your distance. And even then, because it has a pretty decent hotbox, one bad dodge is a ball back for him.

[@xythe9659]

That Harley tip for controller not being able to do neutral,you can bind neutral to a button such as a bumper which is what most Harley's use to detonate their bomb into a bat swing for air kill confirms

Taz can eat projectiles, it's kinda impractical but he can, and w/o the anvil ability it spits the projectile back, even bugs bunny's rocket, although the timing is very tight for that specifically

Wonder Women tips - Video suggest to attack her aggressively but don't forget that she has her side special shield, and her aerial can be adjusted during the air (can more upward or downward) I try to do a basic combo hit with her side attack and try to combo it with a special side shield or a small charge. I sometimes push enemies with her side air (if they keep jumping back then I keep pushing away) I rarely use the rope for anything or her down attack . Her shield is good to apply pressure and collide with other armor attacks so if you attack aggressively you can out attack her. Her down side helps her and her teamates cure any debuffs but it's not quick

[@PFEANYCS]

10:14 sometimes players will play the game with the “neutral special” command mapped to a button. I’m not a harley player, but I am one of the players who has that button command mapped to one of my buttons, and it’s likely that a few Harley players will be able to utilize that as well. That being said, the tip is still likely quite useful against most Harley players

[@superskunkygrow]

its literally default to lb and rb for n spec and n attk

[@ThePokeman]

As a Garnet main I'd like to warn people to NOT try and play close to the edges of maps. She has five possible spiking moves I've discovered (regular nair, regular dair, side combo side smash, side combo down smash, and her rocket fists can work too), as well as some stupid air combat options so just stay in the middle of the stage mostly. Also she can definitely set up some smaller combos with her regular ground attack (this can be charged, has insane range pulling hit enemies closer, applies shocked which can stack with the electric groove ability, and has some strange armor) which can lead to either a lot of damage or a straight up vertical K.O. so try and jump to attack her when you see the setup happening.

[@mattmalco10]

Be careful staying in Tom's face if he gets a single hit from his side or up light you are gonna get frying pan looped yes he is definitely weaker up close and personal but can still cause you alot of pain if he catches you slipping

As a Harley main. I exclusively detonate in the air. The bumper buttons are the neutral attacks. I use the same tactic for LeBron

Lv 25 WW main here. I love the video 1st off and great to know more about MU for better time vs characters For WW, she is an excellent 2vs2 character and not a great 1vs1. One of her strength is drag out fight, shield up, block projectile to protect teammate greatly. Her neutral game reply alot on poking with her long range sword. This move cost her due to terrible delay, so any ground character can just get on top of her and she isn't able to do much. This is like one of the best way to counter WW Another thing I want to point out, good WW doesn't charge even when trying to finish . The charge is long and it make her vul alot. The best way to finish out it agan just poking, trying forward special in the air or my best tool LASO PERK.

I play very unpredictably with Arya, a lot of these tips Ik how to counter. If you play Shaggy and Arya has your face, she can use his "skedaddle" as air recovery. She's very fast on the ground and she can play around you on the ground, then hit with up tilt, up b, and rinse repeat, Side b without dagger is amazing for recovery off the side of the stage, and if you try to fight her while she's recovering, the tip of the rapier will send you *flying* of it touches you. Also, as someone who watched *every season and episode* of Steven Universe, and (sry to rant) the "walls", are a shield he can summon because he has superpowers. The "bacon dude" he spawns is names 'Watermelon Steven,' and when Steven was 16 he accidentally gave a watermelon superpowers after a PTSD episode and when he was still learning how to use his gem's power, he accidentally jumped and overcommitted and was in the air for a day. He learned how to use it after and he can basically fly, but cant change directions mid air. (he just can stop falling mid jump)

For my Wonder Woman players for the counters he mentioned here are the ways to fix them. 1. If they decide to run away while you have armor on just chase them and read them.it’s not very hard to read someone who’s only goal is to not come to you. 2. Just play aggressive aswell. Her sair is definitely her best attack to just throw out a hit box so you can’t keep your distance if their playing to agressive and you can’t find an opportunity to be aggressive aswell. 3. This one’s easy. Just don’t kill that way. Up special, dlight (max bar meter) dair Side special (not suggested) all of those are good kill options

[@sabrina0013]

for your second Harley tip, ppl just need to map neutral special to another button. I have it on a trigger and usually blow up the bat plushie mid-air. i.e. this game has a whole other input mapping for "neutral special" that you can push while holding a direction

As for Superman, you can really mess him up if you use Armor break moves. Wonder Woman's neutral Air is perfect for that and is in general one of her best moves, so better start binding that neutral button on a shoulder button or something, because it's so damn good to side roll short hop nair into enemies and annoy them with aggression from a character they wouldn't expect so much sticking power from.

As a Superman main I can tell you he is one of the fastest people in the game. He has the best dodge,can instantly recover from being hit to the edges of the map and can always jump out of attacks he doesn’t want to do anymore.and if you stand in middle he’s gonna spam his laser eyes and as soon as your up in the air after that knock back your dead. His up close melees do lack a little bit but he still has that armored horizontal punch and the fastest neutral attack in the game and well. My tip is to try to bait out his attacks which is very easy bc most Superman’s are brain dead and as soon as you bait them out capatalize off of that and conflict damage. Be careful though that you don’t get grabbed up twice from his up special because he can break out of combos sometimes out of luck and kill you on 20 just with the press of 4 buttons

[@screaming3924]

[@NACentDSTM]

@@slushMV not true batarang combos to grapple hook so every time I throw batarang I cover it with a grapple and if they dodge the grapple hook I fastfall dodge roll back and they get hit with the second hit of the batarang which I get a free jab jab up special combo out of .I have video of people trying to dodge my batarang and it never works out well for them . I will say it probably works against low rank Batman mains though who don’t know they can cover their batarang so I don’t think you suggesting it is wrong just at a higher level it doesn’t work especially with the grapple signature perk where it explodes on contact making it impossible o dodge .also i probably should mention I have a pro smash background so most people aren’t going to have that level of reaction timing unless they was also pro so it works

[@danielcook8480]

I play a lot of arya and I will add a couple of tips , first of all down attack on arya is very good and so try not to charge on the ground too much e.g fins slap attack as most decent arya players will just wait for the attack to get close and get free damage in . Second tip is arya best ability is her up special and allows her to get alot of combos off so try not to fight arya in the air especially if she is above you and try to dodge out of any air combos . Third arya has no range by both having her only range attack have a super long cooldown and also her general none up special just having smaller hit boxes so a good way but really annoying strat is too play keep away with range attacks and its hard for arya players to punish as her mobility is also kinda limited .

Reindog also struggles against spikes at the wall since his upB only travels horizontally

[@pixelmanns2332]

I am a Finn main and I was playing with my friend an Arya and we encountered the first attack reindog I had even seen they were full offence, never once using the tether but going in for damage and Ko's it was very funny seeing a support turn aggressive

[@ThePokeman]

Absolutely love going all-out with support characters, nothing more satisfying than having the most damage and ringouts as the "supporting" character. Plus it can catch people off guard if they're expecting a non-aggressive player.

[@pixelmanns2332]

@@ThePokeman it caught me and my friend off guard for sure lol

[@mattshu9129]

he had enough

[@googledoc2732]

A lot of better shaggy mains wont even try to get charge unless it is guaranteed, and the kick isnt the main move used. I usually use the ultra instinct to pressure my opponent into trying to bait out my moves and get them more nervous, The only UI move I do usually is a ledge guard kick, or a one two jab up special. I think the keeping them in the air thing is the best tactic as our air moves are usually used very short, like a short hop into the knee, or a short hop into down spike.

they have to add Mordecai and Rigby. they've been punching each other longer than anyone else has 😂

[@YxngTexas]

Hmm… gotta keep these in mind when picking a character.

[@Agent_Drax]

As a Garnet main, I'm almost always the one getting close to an enemy and it still works because of gloves and sudden dodges. My way of playing Garnet is basically: - Enemy is close? Ground and air punches - Enemy is far away? Use gloves, that weird electric ball or pull them in with the ground slam - If the enemy dodges the gloves, immediately stop controlling them and dodge - No dancing is required because hitting the enemy with electrified attacks automatically gives you the rhythm

[@astral9807]

like said in the vid you can dodge the detonation, so tip to harley mains if u stick someone with it try to combo them and detonate at the end of ur combo or detonate as soon as they dodge out of ur combo as a follow up and dont try to spam side special because like said its very punishable but honestly i dont think theres any punish to a good harley who knows what their doing other then simply being massively better then them

yo what editing software do you use?

[@officialsouthsoul5223]

Was really hoping you could cover some counters of superman freeze ability in this video. Had one player literally spam it through the entire match.

[@slushMV]

go above them and use down attacks, dodge into the freeze and hit them from right up in their face, use ranged abilities if you have them, try to keep them in the air so they can’t land and start spamming it again, go for charge attacks like jake’s horse or finns rush, and if none of that works, play patiently if you need to. they’ll get impatient and push you if you just don’t walk up to them

[@Dakodi_]

Arya’s knife cooldown is 12 seconds when it hits, and it’s also reduced by 10% for every dodge if you take a popular perk on her. So she can have a high uptime provided she uses it right. I have found that she’s such a punishable character but this ability is very good, so playing a dodge heavy play style on her is best imo. I think you underestimate her a bit, but when you see some of the best Arya’s play, she is killer. Edit: Also about being able to dodge her knife dash, she dashes much faster provided she dashes when she is grounded compared to not on the ground. Do you know if this can be dodged as well? Cool video!

[@antweeezzyyyantop6743]

aka me

[@Dakodi_]

@@antweeezzyyyantop6743 you should upload some videos of you playing her then! She’s super skilled and badass to watch a good Arya

[@slushMV]

the cooldown I mentioned in the video is for when she misses it, which is part of the strategy I talked about of baiting out the knife, and then playing aggresive during the long cooldown. you can dash through her sword no matter when she dashes, just have to time it right which can be hard. im an arya main, top 1k, and ive played a lottttt of games on her, theres a lot of matches that you simply cant win because anyone in S tier, especially finn and shaggy since their playstyles are so quick and aggresive, will run the stage with her unfortuntely. hoping for a buff to her weight since shes the lightest character in the game, good players will consistently ring you out at 80%.

[@Dakodi_]

@@slushMV yeah she seems very high skill for lesser reward. There are some in the top 30 though. I can’t imagine getting to top 1k even that’s impressive as Arya!
