This will be a series of posts explaining some things about the many characters in the Multiverse Rumble games, starting out with the one and only, Bob Bobbington! The wall perisher himself who has been in both games so far, Bob has made a history for himself as being the only Multiverse Rumble character to be a reskin in the sequel. But is Bob good enough to perish the competition in the competitive scene of Multiverse Rumble? Well keep reading to find out.
- Multiverse Rumble 1
On the surface, Bob would be the kind of character to be a beginner, along with his pal SneakyLadd. But don't judge a book by its cover, as Bob was combo heavy, being a great counter to characters such as Donald Duck, Mario and even Tails if played correctly. Bob did have a sort of advantage in the first game, as the fireball spam was a vital thing indeed. It was spammy, yet hard to pull off as Bob had "other" powerful moves, such as one of his specials, where he swings out his hammer and pounds it on an opponent. Wakko mains despised Bob mains for Bob's increased air dash ability that only he and Sneaky got, which may feel like a strategic advantage to some, bare in mind that Bob can only do this ONCE in the air. Meaning that when he comes back down, he's vunerable to any incoming attacks. The same applies to SneakyLadd. Bob may have been a menace, but he did come with some weaknesses, one of which being the dredded spammable moves, such as Tails' bombs and Wakko's burps that could really slow down this Mario recolour. Sonic's who played their cards right could instantly get a win if Bob didn't air dash for most of the game, and Donald's had the zetaflare special, which hits all players on ground, even Bob! In short, Bob didn't really do well in the competitive scene in the first game, but these are all just guesses. Multiverse Rumble players, feel free to correct me. If you didn't play the first Multiverse Rumble game, back when it was cool, then don't question me.
- Multiverse Rumble 2
Multiverse Rumble 2 brought some new things with it, such as the removal of online play, meaning players may have to use something such as Parsec to play online competitively. Whilst this is a new game, it doesn't really have a competitive scene just yet, but does Bob care? NOPE! MR2 saw Bob's brand new redesign, and with this redesign came new moves for Bob's arsenal, such as turning Bob from a zoner to a close up character that could combo his foes to death under the right conditions. Bob barely struggled to defeat characters like the Warners, 1 of which being the enemy which stalled Bob before, Wakko! Wakko's burps have not only been nerfed, but now Bob can't get stunned by 5 burp bubbles at once, meaning danger for Wakko mains as Bob could get up close and personal with Wakko and beat the living hell out of him. Bob isn't insainly broken though, he may be an alright beginner character, but there are much better beginner options, such as the newly added Pikachu who runs laps around Bob. Other characters that could potentially beat Bob to a pulp are Gumball, Kieron, Jack, Percy from Jackimaniacs, Mario from Jackimaniacs and the new Tails Show designed characters, which can spell doom and gloom for Bob if not played right!
