It hasn’t even been a full week since MultiVersus was released worldwide. However, players are already beginning to figure out which characters are strong in this game.
MirrorMan recently released a tier list that depicted Iron Giant as one of the strongest characters in MultiVersus. When asked why, he simply responded with a clip of Iron Giant performing a touch of death.
As it turns out, the Iron Giant is a character who has multiple ways to perform these touch-of-death sequences. Just yesterday, Blaizzy showcased four different ways that Iron Giant can begin a combo at 0% damage, then KO an opponent with that combo.
Some of these sequences can seemingly be used infinitely by the Iron Giant. On the other hand, some of these combos only consist of three or so hits, but are powerful enough to push the opponent either to the top or side blast zones.
Within the comments, there are some debates about how practical these combos actually are, even if they appear simple in practice. There are those that are arguing that some of these strings can be escaped with proper usage of directional influence.
Regardless, it’s beginning to look like Iron Giant is a true contender for top tier. However, it should also be noted that some of these touch of death combos are being prohibited at certain tournaments.
Iron Giant is a unique character in MultiVersus as he is 2 to 2.5 times larger than any other character in the game. It’s always proven difficult to balance big-bodied fighters in traditional fighting games and platform brawlers.
For now, it’s unknown how the developers plan on addressing this in the future.
