Summary
A new video forMultiVersushas been released that focuses on the moveset of one of the game’s newest characters, Jason Voorhees.MultiVersus, much like Nintendo’sSuper Smash Bros.franchise, is a crossover platformer fighting game that features a number of iconic characters from Warner Bros.' catalog of IPs. It features a wide cast, with characters from cartoons, comic books, and live-action properties, like Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo, Batman, and Ayra Stark, among others. One surprising addition to the roster for its relaunch is Jason Voorhees from theFriday the 13thfranchise.
Jason Voorhees was confirmed forMultiVersus' rosterearlier this week, alongside The Joker fromBatmanand even Agent Smith from theMatrixmovies. The iconic slasher horror villain will terrorize his opponents with various weapons and methods of killing, though toned down forMultiVersus' more cartoony art style. Not only will he be present in his iconic hockey-masked form, but his orbital Uber Jason variant fromJason Xwill also be a skin for Voorhees. Before the relaunch ofMultiVersus, a video was released that shows off some of his moves and their utilities.
In this newMultiVersusvideo,Jason appears to have a few different charged moves. His ground neutral has him charging up an axe attack, where he can move forward for a short amount of time before bringing it down. Likewise, his Crunch Time ground up attack has him use a bed that can snap an opponent above him, which can also be charged. Zombie Stomp has him stomp the ground, sending them flying upwards, which can also be charged to a certain level.
Jason Voorhees' Move Set in MultiVersus
Jason has a few other moves, like his dash attack, the Freight Train, where he runs forward and shoulder tackles anyone in his way. He also has a variety of air moves, such as neutral air, Scoop and Slice, where he swings his hatchet in a downwards arc, or a meteor attack, six feet under, which works likeMario’s own Meteor Smash fromSuper Smash Bros.to spike an opponent downwards to the ground.
Mist Step replicatesJason’s supernatural teleporting power, which allows him to teleport forward, and any opponent near the mist will be pushed back, and it can be used in the air. He can stuff an opponent into a sleeping bag, creating an improvised weapon and projectile.
Jason’s unique trait is his neutral special, Unstoppable Rage, which inflicts damage to him, but gives him and his allies gray health. An Engraged Jason can move faster and deal more damage and knockback for his next attack, with it ending when the gray health is depleted or an attack is used. Additionally, anyone with gray health is immune to knockback, replicatingthe implacable man horror trope.
