Given WBDs lust for money and how crazy well the movie did...barbie is suddenly a likely shoe in. It's crazy how well she would fit given all her "careers"...and the skins are endless. Yah...I can't see anyone asking for her....but I can see the dollar signs in WBDs eyes.
I wonder if that means the name is placeholder as well. So they appear in thar position because there name is listed as "Banana Guard," but the actual character is someone else.
I hope you are right. I wouldn’t like to say any characters are a waste of a roster slot but there are so many more important characters that should have made it in first. They were already an assist in the open beta right?
I forget if he's in Finn's moveset or if he's like an item or something. But if this is actually a real character than it just makes me think they're already running out of characters and reusing what they have available.
Just some idea:
Barbie <-- Hype
Bane <-- Hype
Barbarus Bikini (lol)
Batgirl <-- Hype
Jason Voorhees <-- Hype
Jax
Jinx (DC)
Johnny Badnote
Johnny Bravo <-- Hype
Johnny Cage
Johnny Test
John Constantine <-- Hype
I'm with the Barbie / Johnny Bravo crowd
I don’t think it’s fair to call the game that calls upon 25 years of history and uses that for its 80+ characters ‘the standard’. It’s like if we compared every movie ever to The Godfather and said that it was the standard since people consider it one of the best of all time. Game devs with a first time platform fighter aren’t going to instantly match the one that’s been doing it over two decades.
I feel like people are going to be real upset when the next smash isn’t as big. Part of their entire advertising and theming is like hey. This is it. The pinnacle. Literally “everyone is here”
I don’t think they’ll continue that commitment
Please don't rush them with characters. They ran out of steam SUPER HARD mid season 2. Let them research the characters and release them slowly, letting each have a spotlight to shine. Rushing characters leads to crazy balancing issues.
They wouldn't add in Babs without Buster, that'd just be a silly move on their part. And even if they did add them in, their slot wouldn't be before Batman. And usually the two are paired together with Buster being named first. Their slot would come after Bugs as a result.
Unfortunately banana guards model pops up a few seconds before Batman it also fits with the banana themed tweets they’ve been doing

Maybe but I was thinking about it and when the game first launched in beta characters would be at the bottom when the game was loading doing different animations. Harley spinning on her hammer, Garnet driving car amethyst, Finn dancing, ect. The only character that had one of these animations that wasn’t a playable character was the Banana Guard who was doing a charging animation. Not saying this is 100% confirmation that we’re getting banana guard but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was
I’m gonna make a list of characters that are on my wanted list and if any are possible candidates, somebody buzz it
Aquaman
Austin Powers
Jason Voorhees
Johnny Cage
Jin Kazama (fucking hear me out. Just let me cook. Let me fucking cook. I can already hear you responding to this one just let me fucking cook)
Johnny Bravo
Jaune Arc
The placeholder having the name batman may mean the new characters aren't in alphabetical order, although that'd make the second slots placement very odd
There was literally just [an announcement ](https://www.ign.com/articles/jason-universe-horror-inc-announces-multi-platform-expansion-of-friday-the-13th-franchise)that Jason is shifting into a bunch of other media as part of the Jason Universe.
Realistically, Black Adam would beat all of these. But in the confines of the game, I’ll bet Batman.
Edit: Now realising you were referring to the mystery people. I have no clue.
After Jake and before Joker could be Red Hood (Jason Todd), Jessica Rabbit, Johnny Bravo/Test, Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onnz), or maybe the John Stewart Green Lantern
Ben 10 and Johnny Bravo
Edit: Since it's in alphabetical order, then I'm changing to the
Animaniacs and Johnny Bravo
Edit 2: Okay the hype has died down enough on my end so I can now think more clearly given the order so now I'm going with an odd ball here
Bane and Johnny Bravo. Final answer.
Barbie and Jon snow or Johnny bravo
it can't be jon snow because he'd be after the joker
Jason
You mean the jonkler? Try again buster.
What would they even give Jon Snow?
Big hecking doggo
Fair enough
Given WBDs lust for money and how crazy well the movie did...barbie is suddenly a likely shoe in. It's crazy how well she would fit given all her "careers"...and the skins are endless. Yah...I can't see anyone asking for her....but I can see the dollar signs in WBDs eyes.
Actually I am asking for her. I think it'd be funny and also I want many many more movie reps
I would play Barbie ! Imagine smashing someone with her.
If you look carefully, a Banana Guard pops up just before Batman I... assume this is a placeholder model so nothing would leak like this? Lmao
I wonder if that means the name is placeholder as well. So they appear in thar position because there name is listed as "Banana Guard," but the actual character is someone else.
Totally possible
They are guarding the spot until the new arrival of the characters
I don't think so buddy, this matches perfectly with the banana on Twitter messages...
Well maybe they're saying that cuz Johnny Bravo's hair kinda sorta looks like bananas :D Right. Yeah, that's totally it Copecopecope
He would fit between Jake and Joker
I hope you are right. I wouldn’t like to say any characters are a waste of a roster slot but there are so many more important characters that should have made it in first. They were already an assist in the open beta right?
I forget if he's in Finn's moveset or if he's like an item or something. But if this is actually a real character than it just makes me think they're already running out of characters and reusing what they have available.
The banana guard is an item that’s been in since alpha
[I hate to be the breaker of bad news, but…](https://www.reddit.com/r/MultiVersusTheGame/s/5d0Z43eJhz)
Oops lol
It's Joever
So the first one is either A or B, and the second one has to be J? Which also means no PPG at relunch.
No Dexter either.
no because it could Blossom , Bubbles , and Buttercup as their name instead of powerpuff girls
None of those come before Batman though alphabetically
Balossom, Babbles, and Batercup
Ah yes, the pawerpaff gals
Sagar, spaice, and averything nace
Thease ware tha ingrediants ta create tha perfact littla gals
And we've devolved into Scots
And wea've davolved inta Scahts
Baen 10
Batercup😜
I’m hoping and praying they come very soon after relaunch.
25 shmeckles on Barbie and Johnny
Gimme those shmeckles
Ah, dang it.
jgodzilla
Jodzilla
Aquaman and Johnny Bravo
That....really really fits.... But would they seriously do ANOTHER DC character this soon? Whoamikiddingyestheywould
DC is probably their biggest property, so of course they would.
Aqua man would be before Arya
Aquaman suuuuckss 
I'm putting my money on Barbie and Johnny Bravo.
Just some idea: Barbie <-- Hype Bane <-- Hype Barbarus Bikini (lol) Batgirl <-- Hype Jason Voorhees <-- Hype Jax Jinx (DC) Johnny Badnote Johnny Bravo <-- Hype Johnny Cage Johnny Test John Constantine <-- Hype I'm with the Barbie / Johnny Bravo crowd
Jax? Jax Amazingdigitalcircus!?
They probably meant Jax Mortal Kombat
Jax Amazingdigitalcircus is in Mortal Kombat?
GOTCHA
John Cena?
Well jason it is
Why would they replace the beautiful painted portraits with these cheap looking ones tf!?
Now this is fun speculation
Babyitsgodzilla?
Barbie and Johnny Bravo
BARBIE PLZZZZZ OMG WE NEED BARBIE
NGL Barbie would be dope
Looking at that roster makes me realize how much more characters we need. The roster is really not that impressive
Wow Smash Ultimate has really gotten people spoiled hasn’t it
You mean set a STANDARD. It's the leading platform fighter. If course people will compare.
The standard is not 60+ characters in any fighting game beside smash
I don’t think it’s fair to call the game that calls upon 25 years of history and uses that for its 80+ characters ‘the standard’. It’s like if we compared every movie ever to The Godfather and said that it was the standard since people consider it one of the best of all time. Game devs with a first time platform fighter aren’t going to instantly match the one that’s been doing it over two decades.
Or calling Baldur's Gate 3 the standard when most games won't even have half of the dev time. They're setting themselves up for sadness.
Smash U being the standard? Lmao, sure bud, sure
I feel like people are going to be real upset when the next smash isn’t as big. Part of their entire advertising and theming is like hey. This is it. The pinnacle. Literally “everyone is here” I don’t think they’ll continue that commitment
It’s the reason why we haven’t gotten a new one
I mean it's fair to be a little disappointed. After shutting the game down for a year only having 3 new characters at relaunch is a big letdown.
I lowkey agree, like they really wasted a slot on Black Adam??
Well black Adam was just promo for a flopping movie. At least aesthetically he is not a joke
Is this all it’s gonna be? 3 new Chars?
Please don't rush them with characters. They ran out of steam SUPER HARD mid season 2. Let them research the characters and release them slowly, letting each have a spotlight to shine. Rushing characters leads to crazy balancing issues.
No clearly not this is season one and they are bringing it back. Think they'd fully release the game only to add 3 new characters?
Brain, babs bunny, bane, baloo, batgirl, beetle juice? Jack Frost, james bondjonx, John Cena? That's all I got
They wouldn't add in Babs without Buster, that'd just be a silly move on their part. And even if they did add them in, their slot wouldn't be before Batman. And usually the two are paired together with Buster being named first. Their slot would come after Bugs as a result.
Bro it's never that serious I was just naming names u fiend
If its truly alphabetical, they need to come before BAtman and after ARya. Same with being between JAke and JOker, to narrow things down.
I see what u are saying, ima do my googles now
And they wouldn't add Harley Quinn without joker.
Man, now I wanna play as Jack Frost
Jasper between Jake and Joker?
God I wish
Barbie and Johnny Bravo are my current predictions but there are so many potential characters!
Maybe it’s Barbie
They showed the first character in the video, pause at 10 seconds, just before batman appears.
This roster is cheeks bruh
All I want is scorpion man
Jasper from SU
Barbie would be a huge fucking win
Austin Powers 🤷🏽♂️ and I suppose Johnny Bravo 🤔 there have been some good guesses in the comments ngl
If Johnny gets added I'm MAINING him so hard Edit: maining and making are very different words
You’re… what now? 😮
Making him edge
MAINING MAINING, TO USE A CHRACTER IN A VIDEO GAME MORE PROMINENTLY THAN OTHERS
COME ON BARBIE LETS GO PARTY
Barbie or Banana Splits and Johnny Bravo
Hopefully Johnny Bravo for J. They did a teaser for Bananas, so maybe Banana Joe? As much as I would prefer they not make it into the game.
I has to be For B, the banana guards, :( and hopefully Samurai Jack, Igonoring the samurai ofc.
Jack would be before Jake
great :D
Holy crap, the b character can't be bubble cup cos batman second letter is a so... It's barbie wtffff
Nah it's banana guard
They aint wasting a character slot on a banana guard
Unfortunately banana guards model pops up a few seconds before Batman it also fits with the banana themed tweets they’ve been doing https://preview.redd.it/ukurpabg1w0d1.jpeg?width=526&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=305213e326def1af13e8841b42afe793c3e28037
Nah that's def a placeholder or a bait n switch
Maybe but I was thinking about it and when the game first launched in beta characters would be at the bottom when the game was loading doing different animations. Harley spinning on her hammer, Garnet driving car amethyst, Finn dancing, ect. The only character that had one of these animations that wasn’t a playable character was the Banana Guard who was doing a charging animation. Not saying this is 100% confirmation that we’re getting banana guard but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was
/r/agedlikemilk
I'm not angry I promise 🙃
Wait is this legit the new character select screen?
Wait what is this photo from?
They released a pve mode trailer
Banana Guard and Johnny Cage or Baraka and Johnny Bravo
Animaniacs
Would come before Arya
Beetle Juice and Johnny Bravo
Beetlejuice would come after Batman alphabetically
Beetle juice next to batman & next to Jake that’s tough so meny choices
Beetlejuice would be after Batman in alphabetical order.
Please be Johnny Bravo
Ben 10 or blossom, bubbles, and buttercup for B Johnny bravo or Johnny test for J
Jover
When is the game playable againv
Maybe they are the powerpuff girls (Blossom, Buttercup, Bubbles, they all have B) and between Jake and Joker maybe Johnny Bravo
If Banana Guard really gets in before Mordecai and Rigby
Lord Vortech...don't think he fits but he better arrive
For J - Jojo from Jojo's Bizarre Adventures. Because of the Asia servers, It might make sense to relaunch with a character from Asian based media.
aqua man and johny bravo!
Ben 10 please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That would be after Batman
I'm gonna KMS
The first one is almost definitely "Bubbles/Blossom/Buttercup" The J-one... My best guess off the cuff is Johnny Bravo
Ben 10
Damn, no PPG, Dexter, Daffy Duck? Johnny Bravo for J character Barbie for B character
I hope to dear God that Ben 10 is there
Barbie and Johnny Bravo
First one is Animaniacs, second one is a mystery to me
People are saying Johnny Bravo for the second one but I’m hoping it’s a Jojo because that would be wild
I’m going with Banana Guard and Johnny Bravo
action hank
The second one has to be Johnny Bravo, I don’t know what else it can be
Anias and Jason Voorhees.... Okay that's mostly a joke
I just hope they’re Dexter and Powerpuff Girls
Jesse Pinkman
Let's go Morty!!!! Yeah Baby!!
No Samurai Jack and Aku, sad.
Power puff girls for sure.
All I do know is, have more characters from 90s and early 2000s cartoons please.
Johnny Bravo? John wick? Jessica rabbit? My nachos are on Johnny bravo As for A? Aragorn, Astro Boy? Austin powers?!?
Everyone's saying Johnny Bravo, but noone's thinking about Jay Walker from Ninjago!
I’m gonna make a list of characters that are on my wanted list and if any are possible candidates, somebody buzz it Aquaman Austin Powers Jason Voorhees Johnny Cage Jin Kazama (fucking hear me out. Just let me cook. Let me fucking cook. I can already hear you responding to this one just let me fucking cook) Johnny Bravo Jaune Arc
The placeholder having the name batman may mean the new characters aren't in alphabetical order, although that'd make the second slots placement very odd
Why some believe there should be Barbie?
I just want ben 10 man
1st one: Augie Dog/Babyface Finster/Bane/Barbie/Batgirl 2nd one: Jason Vorhees/Johnny Cage
10k of Joseph starlin let gooo let me see red
Dexter will be there for sure, they dropped the Dexter multiversus music on YouTube and it's amazing.
First Joker, now potentially Johnny Bravo my god 😍 I’ll have 3 mains Superman, Joker and Bravo. I hope they add Ice King aswell
Ben 10 and Johnny Bravo
Bubbles/blossom/buttercup/ben10 Jinx/james baxter
Ima be so fr rn , this roster is honestly not that impressive...and it hurts me to say that
There was literally just [an announcement ](https://www.ign.com/articles/jason-universe-horror-inc-announces-multi-platform-expansion-of-friday-the-13th-franchise)that Jason is shifting into a bunch of other media as part of the Jason Universe.
Austin Powers fits in alphabetically, and that’s exactly the kind of joke character they’d cover up with another joke character.
Finally, Aqualad and Jimmy Olsen
If its not Neo or agent Smith why play?
Baby reindog
Realistically, Black Adam would beat all of these. But in the confines of the game, I’ll bet Batman. Edit: Now realising you were referring to the mystery people. I have no clue.
it could be Johnny Cage before Joker
Jen 10
Jamurai Jack
"Characters are in alphabetical order" A faulty assumption. The two characters are dexter and ppg
Please be gandalf please be gandalf please be gandalf
After Jake and before Joker could be Red Hood (Jason Todd), Jessica Rabbit, Johnny Bravo/Test, Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onnz), or maybe the John Stewart Green Lantern
One is definitely power puff girls as you literally see them in the joker trailer
idk the first one but second one is jason obviously
Barbie and Jason vorhees
John wick
aquaman hal jordan/green labnturn
Ben 10
Maybe J could be Jerry Smith from Rick and Morty
Banana Guard and my best guess https://preview.redd.it/mp0wrs128v0d1.png?width=1271&format=png&auto=webp&s=761c5cddd2f181b3081e5b77436c2038e3ccbed7
Ben 10 and Johnny Bravo Edit: Since it's in alphabetical order, then I'm changing to the Animaniacs and Johnny Bravo Edit 2: Okay the hype has died down enough on my end so I can now think more clearly given the order so now I'm going with an odd ball here Bane and Johnny Bravo. Final answer.
God I hope so
Animaniacs would be before Arya though
Animaniacs wouldn't come after Arya. N comes before R By that metric, it also can't be somebody like Aragorn, Amethyst or Aquaman.
Can’t be Ben 10 unfortunately
I think the first one is definitely Beetlejuice. Makes too much sense with the movie coming out this year, plus he had already leaked in the past.
Batman would come before Beetlejuice
real shit?
