MultiVersus patch notes want you to know that Taz is too powerful

Patch notes — the logs of changes developers make in each update of a game — are often very funny. Some developers do this intentionally to make technical and dry information more interesting. But other times, that information is just innately comedic, because it’s funny to see developers dryly note that, for example, Bugs Bunny is simply too powerful and Something must be done..

You can feel the pain of reading patch notes. MultiVersus, the new Smash Bros.-style fighting game featuring characters from across Warner Bros.’ expansive catalogue. Its first major patch added NBA and Space JamLeBron Jam was the main star.

The character-specific notes, in particular, are great fun. Take, for instance, the Bugs update

Aim HighActive window decreases by 2 frames; Startup window increases by 2 frames

Bugs Bunny was able to hit almost all of his targets with the hitbox. This will make it easier for you to manage the up air.

This one is about Taz

Air/Ground Side Special:

If you have been following early access, Taz’s Tornado has been dominating his character kit and presenting a non-obvious knowledge check for newer players. We hope that by reducing his effectiveness, we can improve the gameplay and loop of Taz’s Tornado and make it more enjoyable for all players.

We were not aware that Velma was one of the most powerful characters in the game. This should make her closer to where she was originally intended.

You don’t need to necessarily play MultiVersus to appreciate these updates on Warner Bros. characters, and currently, it’s not entirely possible that you Can. While the game’s open beta has launched for all players as of today, reports indicate that the game’s servers have almost immediately been taken offline for maintenance as the free-to-play game has proven quite popular.

Let’s hope that, when people are actually able to log on, Taz isn’t too much of a problem for them — although it would be quite consistent with his brand.
