I watch the TNS replays on YouTube at 0.75 speed to pick up subtle neutral tricks or routing, and that seems to be faster than the multiversus video

Either they accidentally decided to post footage that had been deliberately slowed down even more than the last time, or it looks like they made the game painfully slow what on earth

Yeah, I remember Batman just zooming all over the screen before, but now he looks as fast as Superman did in the beta period

It may be slower but at least it's unreadable too.

I had to pause to figure out what Shaggy was throwing. Some of the blame might have towards twitter for their awful low res video encode though.

(It's a sandwich. That he digs out of the ground?)

He has a smash legacy moveset, that's peach's turnip dig, he has falcon knee, I think he can also pop his shirt off if I remember my $49.99 correctly

It's still very cool that basically every other character has a moveset that feels right for the character and pulls from their works and Shaggy is based on a meme that died two years before the beta came out

About
Ultra Instinct Shaggy is an Ultra Instinct Remix featuring the character Shaggy from Scooby-Doo undergoing the "ultra instinct" transformation of Goku from Dragon Ball Super. After an Ultra Instinct Remix featuring Shaggy grew popular, the character developed a fandom online.

Origin
On October 12th, 2017, YouTuber Midya posted an Ultra Instinct Remix featuring Shaggy fighting a gang of thugs from the 2011 film Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur, featuring the song “Ultimate Battle” from the Dragon Ball Super soundtrack playing in the background. The video has since been deleted, but was reuploaded by YouTuber RoastedCurry in January 2019 (shown below).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBc4U_R3yEY

so a movie had a weird out of place section where shaggy somehow beats up a whole biker bar and someone edited goku music into it

which then inspired a bunch of people to make art of shaggy going super saiyan

I think the first official reference to it was the intro to Mortal Kombat: Battle of the Realms, where Scorpion does ninja stuff around the WB logo until a glowing Shaggy grabs him by the neck and goes, "Get over here, man!" and pulls him away.

It's still hilarious that after years of Mortal Kombat getting ignored by Super Smash Bros., their parent company made a Smash clone and still didn't use any Mortal Kombat characters.

They're talking about their netcode but they don't even need netcode if it plays like that. You can play this game over the US Postal Service. You can play it by correspondence.

The caption is confusing as hell it implies that the game slows down if the connection is bad to maintain a smooth performance? But that's an insane solution.

If u can't do rollback this (input lag) is what you end up with to solve the problem. As someone who has never seen the game, the speed doesn't bother me as much as the weird way the character models and effects overlap when they're on top of each other. It's very difficult to read for seemingly no benefit, it looks unrefined.

I was rewatching the video and decided to look at the comments to see what people were saying, and a lot of people are saying that the characters look bigger? I don't see it.

The camera starts off closer to the action than I remember from the beta, but the characters themselves don't look bigger compared to the stage

What’s the end game sue the companies on copyright infringement or some poo poo? If that was the case this many alternatives wouldn’t have proliferated already, right?

What does this accomplish for them other than make them look like jackasses?
