It’s big update time! Today not only saw the arrival of new character Gizmo, we also got some significant changes to MultiVersus itself. For one, the promised hitbox changes have arrived, and they look pretty dang substantial. We’re also seeing a ton of nerfs to various characters, addressing many problems the community is plenty familiar with. Also, there was a surprising change to one of Velma’s moves that’s… pretty funny actually.
For the full details check out the official patch notes on the MultiVersus support website. I’ve condensed it all down to quick summaries for the major takeaways. You know, because copy and pasting is kind of frowned upon in these parts.

Character Nerfs, Buffs and Tweaks

Batman
Down special and side attack (ground versions) bug fixes, slight changes to air down special and air side attack.
Bugs Bunny
Tons of nerfs! No buffs! Yikes!
Finn
Buffs that mostly tweak move properties to work as intended.
Garnet
Down special speed and recovery buffed. Side attacks tweaked to combo better. Bubbled projectiles no longer do damage until the bubble pops.

Speed buff.

Also hit with mostly nerfs. One tweak to neutral special to make spit enemies projectiles.
LeBron
So many buffs! One nerf changes the angle to his air down attack.
Morty
Several tweaks and buffs; nothing labeled as a nerf.
Reindog
Just two buffs and one nerf. No huge differences, seems like.

Slight nerf to up special forcing Steven to land before he can spawn more than two shields.
Superman
Slower flight speed, bigger whiff window for that up special, and down special given a cooldown.
