Oh man if this was real in Real Smash Bros. (or better yet as a MUCH BETTER CHOICE TO END THE DLC!!!), I would've cried with tears of joy.

[@Sperium3000]

For those who don't know: Tom screams are the same classic screams from the original Tom & Jerry shorts dating back to the 40s. The screams are performed by William Hannah, who you might know as one half of Hannah-Barbera. Hannah died in 2001, so it's wild he's gonna have a posthumous credit in a fighting game 21 years after.

[@PonchitoPoncho2050]

Man Tom and Jerry are the best characters in this game. Their moves have references to some scenes of their shows!!!

[@supremefankai5480]

All the callbacks to character history in just the way they stand, and then they move exactly like in animation. Even Velma's crawling references the times she loses her glasses, so when she crouches she drops them, when she stands she puts them back on. If every character is like this, then watching the game is gonna be like watching an episode of a crossover cartoon, instead of a game.

[@Gpop119]

I think this game does what Nickelodeon All Star Brawl was missing, which was presentation. As much as people like to go all into "who cares about presentation, it's all about the core gameplay mechanics", games like this and Dragonball Fighterz goes to show how far presentation takes things to get people interested. Sure it's not the most perfect thing, but just simply having voices and a lot of these interactions, as well as having such personality with the trailers, gameplay, and UI makes it feel like a lot of effort was put into it. It's what got people like myself to try and buy games like DBFZ and KOF XV, which many people passed on games like MVCI and KOF XIV because the presentation doesn't stick with us, despite still being good games. Hell, I even bought KOF XV because the visuals are A LOT better that XIV, and I think fit their games perfectly. Just by that trailer in the beginning alone makes me wanna try this game out. It's OOZING with personality and it makes me feel more attached to the characters that I wanna try out. Hell, even seeing gameplay I never thought I'd be interested in VELMA of all people. I think they did the characters justice here, and it's what the Nickelodeon Smash game was missing to really catch people's attention.

[@saiko_oro]

Presentation is definitely key to a fighting game's success, the people who say "only the gameplay matters!" are esports players who can't look at a fighting game as anything but a means to grind for prize money.

[@adrianpaul1985]

@@saiko_oro exactly true

[@adrianpaul1985]

Well part of the reason why we want to play these games are because we see pur favourite characters which is why they're marketting it as such. We want to see shaggy beating up superman, why? Because it's fun and it'd be even more fun to see the interractions they have. Pro fighting game players don't care about that stuff and mostly just see the characters as tools to win. NASB i feel were marketting purely to them and that's a very small minority of gamers. MV i feel like is marketted towards a more general audience while having the mechanics for professional play.

[@KaminariHouse]

You said it man. Budget and presentation are some of the most important things. Also personally, this game already has characters I'd love to play, unlike Nick Brawl.

[@adamnakamura8003]

They made Shaggy the meme people want him to be, while he still has the charm of his show appearances. Meanwhile, they gave Velma the entire gimmick of the show: solving the mystery and catching the bad guy. I find that incredible, especially since we know Shaggy and Scooby aren’t the ones who usually get the villain, so when it came time to add elements from the show, they gave the idea of sleuthing to the brains of Mystery Inc. and had Shaggy get the gags and they filled in the rest with the meme (which has roots in one of their movies and is given reason to, in game.)

This game is straight up a masterclass of all the principles of animation and then these animation principles are all used as mechanics in the combat itself.

[@thepolarphantasm2319]

They HAVE to. He's perfect.

[@brookswilliams5239]

Yes!!!! Yes!!! A thousand times YESSSSS!!!

[@Millertimez16]

This game has some insane potential!!!! Tom and jerry as you said are soooo well done it’s amazing

[@mas8705]

I know alot of people love to say how "Nicktoons isn't as good because there are no voices!" but I find myself looking at both games and feel like the Nicktoon games also lacks... Spirit. When you play Smash, you feel like you are in control of those characters. When you play Multiversus, you see how much personality all the characters have. But for the Nicktoons... Yeah, you are playing as them, but it is almost like going to Disneyworld and interacting with someone wearing a mascot outfit rather than feeling like you are playing as the character. It isn't to say the game is bad in comparison to Multiversus (and who knows if Hugh Neutron will change that tune), but overall, I feel like I would be more than happy to invest some time into Multiversus and might play two or three matches in Nicktoons before moving on to something else. Overall, we know exactly who to blame for this... Viacom...

[@insertjokeh3r3]

what would be funny is if shaggy and batman knew each other from the crossover episodes.

[@michaelwaring1028]

They do! One of the unique lines Shaggy says to Batman when they're fighting is something like, "When I'm through with you, they're gonna call you BRUISED WAYNE!"

[@RushValentine]

the team went above and beyond for the character interactions in this game, even more than smash which is impressive for a free to play game. Also hoping for either Samurai Jack, Ben 10, Mortal Kombat or even Jojo (Warner Japan handles the anime series like Warner handles Game Of Thrones) to make an appearance.

[@realfromtherealreality4148]

If MK characters needs to be added to this game, it has to be Johnny and Liu Kang. (Purely because of how chaotic a duo between the noble hero and the douchey sleezebag with a good heart would be. Especially when interacting with everyone else.) (And I'm kind of tired of seeing Scorpion everywhere. If they add Sub-zero though, they need to have a Bi-Han and Kuai-Liang Alt with different voice-lines.)

[@saiko_oro]

Scorpion and Subzero are actually rumoured to be in

[@soapbiter36577]

Ben 10 is a must, it'll be very interesting to see how they give him a move set

[@impossiblehanley2732]

Actually, Samurai Jack, Ben 10 and Subzero were leaked.

[@livingcorpse5664]

Harley treating Taz like a pet is the most wholesome thing I have seen in a long time and I never knew I needed it till now.

[@YourIdeologyIsDelusional]

The first thing I thought to ask when he pulled out Tom and Jerry was "Okay, does Tom do the scream." Yes. Yes he absolutely does.

[@monsieursunflower123]

That "welcome back to the stage of history" at 0:42 coupled with the statue made me have a double take; I thought for a moment Batman had warped into Soul Calibur!

[@muiwanderer8798]

As long that statue doesn't turn out to be alive secret boss like Colossus that start a new round.

[@deanospimoniful]

Max talking like Ripley's sleeping in the next room. Very soothing.

[@easternunit2009]

If you think about it you’re actually chasing Jerry around because you need Jerry to create tricky combos. Without Jerry, your attacks are not as strong.

[@UKRobs]

Tom and Jerry are probably the most well designed and and animated characters in this game, the amount of love and care that clearly went into that character is amazing. And the fact that everyone else is just collateral in their fight I love it so much.

[@ironmike404]

Dark Knight Returns reference mid combo is crazy 15:20

[@brookswilliams5239]

Damn I missed that until I read your comment 🤯🤯

[@ivanskorica6979]

It truly looks amazing. All the characters are so well done but I must say the Tom & Jerry had me crying :D The death screams, the 'accidental' teamwork and just the overall feel that you don't rly fight against other players, you just go after Jerry and others just happen to get in the way of your attacks xD So good.

[@shahariachowdhury2405]

You can tell a lot of genuine heart and soul went into this game and I love it.

[@FloatingSunfish]

The level of polish in these characters is *_INSANE!_*

[@juanc7507]

Crazy how great Tom & Jerry look. Thanks for the showcase Max.

[@richie404]

That intro was so hilarious! Gotta say, it's so fun and Great! I love that they added Tom's classic screams, makes me so happy to hear! Can't wait to see who next to join, I wanna see Mordecai, Rigby and Ed, Edd n Eddy.

[@bastiwen]

Man you can really see that love was put into this game, it's so cool.

[@ZeroJinKui]

this game actually looks... fun. with nick all stars, those guys focused more on the competitive scene, which was never what smash was all about, the competitive audience was always the minority, i feel... the game lacks soul, it's just generic. but this game... while the gameplay is different, these people made sure the soul was there, the characters actually feel like who they're supposed to be, the voices and animations, the unique gimmicks... it looks good. i feel like if nick all stars was more like this, it wouldn't have died in a month.

[@addex1236]

Honestly I don't think had the budget so they focused on what they could keeping it competitive that being said Multiveres is giving me some all star brawl but with money vibes

[@randooly]

Nick all stars felt so lifeless, you can tell with Multiversus they really give a shit

[@orangeslash1667]

@@randooly My Jaw dropped when Velma did her cartoony run, just wow🤯🤣.

[@aquapyro1]

I LOVE the ring out animations. They really add to the game. My favorites are Space Kook (my favorite Scooby Villain) and Shazam

[@crockoreptile]

Hearing the brass ‘Come along with Me’ in the background of the Adventure Time Tree House stage made me feel something

[@Skorp4]

I already told myself I'm going to play Tom & Jerry just because of how much I love them but seeing their gameplay brings a tear to my eye. So much attention to detail, so much care and love was put into these characters! Velma's gameplay looks unbelievably cool too. I can't wait to get my hands on this game.

[@SuddenFool]

The iron giant and superman. That was wholesome as fuck ! xD

[@Alexanderthegreat159]

I really would love a video of him just going through each and every character and looking at all the things they do

[@holdthetruthhostage]

As long as they add the Items from the series it will be crazy quality

[@Mythrlz]

I like how one of Batman’s dialogues against shaggy he says “Eat this Hippie”

[@YawleyG]

I watched a friend play this for a bit, but I didn't get to see it slowed down to admire the animations and now I've picked up some interest in the game. Good stuff!

[@michaelmarbach6250]

I’m not into the game itself, but god they poured so much personality into the characters. Tom and Jerry are the highlight for sure!

[@mrcwillis6970]

I’m actually amazed by how good and how much love is being put into this game, the characters animations and gameplay as well as the stages and music, I can’t wait to play this game. ❤️

[@really4129]

i love the detail at the end of trailer in the background, you can see yellow orbs in mountains represent other characters that will be added in the game!

[@justinnuttall1901]

Cool video, thanks for demoing this. It's really nice to see these characters back, and so lovingly rendered. Daffy, Elmer, Joker...I bet there'll be a lot more to dl. I hope it succeeds.

[@raionbomber75]

dang this game looks hella fun

It is!!! Loving it so far!

[@saltylightningx2433]

@ do you have a extra friend code for Xbox? I want to play so bad but I can’t get a code. Please let me know

[@DanielOfDuty]

Finally Max uploading and started watching the trailer and playing the Closed Beta

[@Cosmic76Guardian]

Closed Alpha you mean. Open Beta will become available in next month.

[@CatsRGr8_]

This game has so much spice and love put into it, the way the characters talk to eachother and are animated is amazing

[@technoboy2606]

It's so dope that the gameplay actually matches the trailer so closely. Literally references the moves in the game as opposed to them just doing bs that you'll never have.

[@504nars]

The fact that this game is free to play is crazy.

[@LivingDeadward]

Tom and Jerry have mad Kenny energy and I love it.

[@PingerSurprise]

This team is getting almost as ambitious as the Smash team when it comes to attention to details. This is gonna be great.

[@heisenbergwhite00]

Almost? This team surpassed smash bros ambitions, Not a single Character in smash has this much tought put into animation.

[@lunadead]

@@heisenbergwhite00 Hell even all the character has voice line interactions with each other

[@dddgaming885]

​@@heisenbergwhite00 absolutely delusional

[@viroszelmire1391]

Some characters I’d love to see get added later in the full release would be generator Rex, Daffy Duck and robotboy

[@SilencerXLR8]

Don't forget Johnny Bravo and Courage

[@Sayject]

Dont forget Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote.

[@brayzaroo]

While the combat looks a little wonky, the references, art style, and general concept are good enough to rival smash

[@theodorelumleykoontz4718]

Wonky? dude i used to say the same and now i try the game by myself i just eat my words, the gameplay its so unique, its not like smash and its not like brawlhalla

[@impossiblehanley2732]

It doesn't need to rival Smash. Just be it's own thing.
